C.                                  The Borrower and Manhattan Merger Corp, a Minnesota corporation and an indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Borrower (“Merger Sub”) have entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 15, 2013 (as amended, supplemented and/or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Acquisition Agreement”), with SHFL Entertainment, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to which the Borrower proposes to acquire (the “Acquisition”) the Company through the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation in the merger.

 

D.                                 The Borrower has entered into a Commitment Letter, dated as of July 15, 2013 (as amended, supplemented and/or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Commitment Letter”), with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo Bank”), Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“Wells Fargo Securities”), J.P.

E.                                   The Borrower has requested that the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders, the Lenders constituting the Required Revolving Lenders and the Lenders constituting the Required Term A Lenders so amend the Credit Agreement, and the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders party hereto are willing to do so on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

F.                                    Each of the Lead Arrangers shall act as joint lead arrangers and joint book running managers with respect to this First Amendment and the Term B Facility provided for hereunder.

(c)                               On the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date (as defined below), each Person executing this First Amendment in its capacity as a “Lender” under the Credit Agreement hereby consents to this First Amendment and the terms and provisions thereof and, without limitation, acknowledges, (i) agrees and consents to the amendments attached hereto as Annex A, Annex B and Annex C, and shall be bound by the provisions of the Credit Agreement as a Lender thereunder upon the Acquisition Closing Date and (ii) agrees and consents to the amendment and restatement of the Pledge Agreement, the Borrower Security Agreement, the Subsidiaries Security Agreement and the Guaranty in the form of the Amended Pledge Agreement, the Amended Borrower Security Agreement, the Amended Subsidiaries Security Agreement and the Amended Guaranty, respectively.

SECTION 4.  Representations and Warranties.  The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:

 

(a)                               Existence, Qualification and Power.  Each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized or formed, validly existing and, as applicable, in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, (b) has all requisite power and authority and all requisite governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals to (i) own or lease its assets and carry on its business and (ii) execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the First Amendment, and (c) is duly qualified and is licensed and, as applicable, in good standing under the Laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of properties or the conduct of its business requires such qualification or license; except in each case referred to in clause (b)(i) or (c) (or, with respect to any Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party, in each case referred to in clause (a), (b) or (c)), to the extent that failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(b)                              Authorization; No Contravention.  The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this First Amendment have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, and do not and will not (a) contravene the terms of any of such Person’s Organization Documents; (b) conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien under, or require any payment to be made under (i) any Contractual Obligation to which such Person is a party or affecting such Person or the properties of such Person or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority or any arbitral award to which such Person or its property is subject; or (c) violate any Law; except in the case of clauses (b) and (c), as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(c)                               Governmental Authorization; Other Consents.  No approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is necessary or required in connection with (a) the execution, delivery or performance by, or enforcement against, any Loan Party of this First Amendment, (b) the grant or reaffirmation by any Loan Party of the Liens granted by it pursuant to the Collateral Documents, (c) the perfection or maintenance of the Liens created under the Collateral Documents (including the first priority nature thereof) or (d) the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of its rights under the Loan Documents or the remedies in respect of the Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Documents, except for the authorizations, approvals, actions, notices and filings listed on Schedule 5.03 of the Credit Agreement.

 

(d)                              Binding Effect.  This First Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is party hereto.  This First Amendment constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against each Loan Party that is party thereto in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, Gaming Laws or equitable principles relating to the granting of specific performance and other equitable remedies as a matter of judicial discretion.

 

SECTION 5.  Reference to and Effect on the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents.

 

(a)                               On and after the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, (i) each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended by this First Amendment on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, (ii) each reference to the Pledge Agreement shall

mean and be a reference to the Amended Pledge Agreement, (iii) each reference to the Borrower Security Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Amended Borrower Security Agreement, (iv) each reference to the Subsidiaries Security Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Amended Subsidiaries Security Agreement and (v) each reference to the Guaranty shall mean and be a reference to the Amended Guaranty.  This First Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(b)                              The Existing Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, as specifically amended by this First Amendment (including the amendments of the Pledge Agreement, the Borrower Security Agreement, the Subsidiaries Security Agreement and the Guaranty by the Amended Pledge Agreement, Amended Borrower Security Agreement, Amended Subsidiaries Security Agreement and Amended Guaranty, respectively), are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Documents and all of the Collateral described therein do and shall continue to secure the payment of all Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, in each case, as amended by this First Amendment (including the amendments of the Pledge Agreement, the Borrower Security Agreement, the Subsidiaries Security Agreement and the Guaranty by the Amended Pledge Agreement, Amended Borrower Security Agreement, Amended Subsidiaries Security Agreement and Amended Guaranty, respectively).

 

(c)                               The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this First Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a modification, acceptance or waiver of any other provision of any of the Loan Documents.

 

SECTION 6.  Execution in Counterparts.  This First Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this First Amendment by facsimile or .pdf shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this First Amendment.

 

SECTION 7.  Miscellaneous.  This First Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.  Sections 10.14(b), (c) and (d) and Section 10.15 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference into this First Amendment, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto hereby agree that such provisions shall apply to this First Amendment with the same force and effect as if set forth herein in their entirety.

If the Administrative Agent and all the Lenders that would be obligated to make Credit Extensions in such requested currency consent to making Eurodollar Rate Loans in such requested currency and the Administrative Agent and such Lenders reasonably determine that a Eurodollar Rate is available to be used for such currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Borrowings of Eurodollar Rate Loans; and if the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Letter of Credit

(a)                               The Term A Borrowing.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each Term A Lender holding a “Term A Loan” as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement (each, an “Existing Term A Loan”) agrees that such Existing Term A Loan shall, effective on the Effective Date, be a Term A Loan under this Agreement, and (ii) each Term A Lender severally agrees to make a single loan (each such loan, a “New Term A Loan”) to the Borrower on the Effective Date in an amount not to exceed such Term A Lender’s Term A Commitment Percentage of $100,000,000.  The amount of each Lender’s Existing Term A Loans is set forth opposite the name of such Lender on Schedule 2.01.  The Term A Borrowing shall consist of (x) the conversion of Existing Term A Loans to Term A Loans pursuant to clause (i) above and (y) Term A Loans made simultaneously by the Term A Lenders in accordance with their respective Term A Commitment Percentage of $100,000,000, each of which Term A Loans shall be treated equally pursuant to this Agreement on and after giving effect to the Effective Date.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Revolving Credit Loan”) to the Borrower in Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Revolving Credit Borrowing, (i) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Facility, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies shall not exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit.  Within the limits of each Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(b), prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.01(b).  Revolving Credit Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein; provided, that Revolving Credit Loans that are denominated in Alternative Currencies must be Eurodollar Rate Loans.

 

2.02                    Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

 

46

 

(a)                               Each Term Borrowing, each Revolving Credit Borrowing, each conversion of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone.  Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans denominated in Dollars to Base Rate Loans, (ii) four Business Days (or five Business Days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency to Base Rate Loans and (iii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans.  Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.  Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof.  Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.  Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Term Borrowing, a Revolving Credit Borrowing, a conversion of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans are to be converted, (v) the currency of the Loans to be borrowed and (vi) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto.  If the Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Committed Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing, then the Loans so requested shall be made in Dollars.  If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans; provided, that in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, such Loans shall be continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one month.  Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans.  If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.  No Revolving Credit Loan may be converted into or continued as a Revolving Credit Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Revolving Credit Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Swing Line Loan may not be converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan.

 

(b)                              Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage under the

 

47

 

applicable Facility of the applicable Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in Section 2.02(a).  In the case of a Term Borrowing or a Revolving Credit Borrowing (other than the portion of the Term Borrowing referred to in clause (i) of Section 2.01(a)), each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than 1:00 p.m., in the case of any Loan denominated in Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent, in the case of any Loan in an Alternative Currency, in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice.  Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date a Committed Loan Notice with respect to a Revolving Credit Borrowing is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to the Borrower as provided above.

 

(c)                               Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan.  During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) without the consent of the Required Lenders, and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency be prepaid, or redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.

 

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

 

(e)                               After giving effect to all Term Borrowings of Term A Loans, all conversions of Term A Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Term A Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than five Interest Periods in effect in respect of the Term A Facility.  After giving effect to all Term Borrowings of Incremental Term Loans under any Incremental Term Facility, all conversions of Incremental Term Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Incremental Term Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than five Interest Periods in effect in respect of such Incremental Term Facility.  After giving effect to all Term Borrowings of Refinancing Term Loans under any Refinancing Term Facility, all conversions of Refinancing Term Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of

 

48

 

Refinancing Term Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than five Interest Periods in effect in respect of such Refinancing Term Facility.  After giving effect to all Revolving Credit Borrowings, all conversions of Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Revolving Credit Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than eight Interest Periods in effect in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility.

Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(iii)                          The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

 

49

 

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

(E)                            such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or

 

(F)                             a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.03(c) exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which the L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

 

(iv)                          The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

 

(v)                              The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary

 

50

 

of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

 

(vi)                          The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

 

(b)                              Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.  (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.  Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be.  In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer:  (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require.  In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require.  Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.

 

(ii)                              Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.  Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Credit Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable

 

51

 

conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.  Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

 

(iii)                          If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension.  Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

 

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

 

(c)                               Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter

 

52

 

of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof.  In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) the L/C Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Borrower shall have notified the L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Borrower will reimburse the L/C Issuer in Dollars.  In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof.  Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency.  In the event that (A) a drawing denominated in an Alternative Currency is to be reimbursed in Dollars pursuant to the second sentence in this Section 2.03(c)(i) and (B) the Dollar amount paid by the Borrower, whether on or after the Honor Date, shall not be adequate on the date of that payment to purchase in accordance with normal banking procedures a sum denominated in the Alternative Currency equal to the drawing, the Borrower agrees, as a separate and independent obligation, to indemnify the L/C Issuer for the loss resulting from its inability on that date to purchase the Alternative Currency in the full amount of the drawing.  If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such timeon the Honor Date, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof.  In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice).  Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

 

(ii)                              Each Revolving Credit Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral for this purpose) for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

 

53

 

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

 

(iv)                          Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

 

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

 

(vi)                          If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing.  If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed

 

54

 

Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be.  A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)                             Repayment of Participations.  (i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

 

(ii)                              If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.  The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

 

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

 

(i)                                  any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

 

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

 

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

 

55

 

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

 

(v)                              any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or

 

(vi)                          any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer.  The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

 

(f)                                Role of L/C Issuer.  Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.  None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document.  The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.  None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vvi) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the

 

56

 

presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

 

(g)                              Applicability of ISP and UCP; Limitation of Liability.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible to the Borrower for, and the L/C Issuer’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the L/C Issuer required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where the L/C Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade – International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.

 

(h)                              Letter of Credit Fees.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided, however, any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.17(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the L/C Issuer for its own account.  For purposes of computing the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06.  Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears.  If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

 

57

 

contained herein, upon the request of the Required Revolving Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

 

(i)                                  Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer.  The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum specified in the Borrower’s fee letter with Bank of America, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears.  Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand.  For purposes of computing the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06.  In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect.  Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

 

(j)                                  Conflict with Issuer Documents.  In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

 

(k)                              Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit.  The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

 

2.04                    Swing Line Loans.

 

(a)                               The Swing Line.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, may in its sole discretion make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Facility at such time, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Revolving Credit Lender at such time, plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations at such time, plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the

 

58

 

Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans at such time shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and provided further that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04.  Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest only at a rate based on the Base Rate.  Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

 

(b)                              Borrowing Procedures.  Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone.  Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day.  Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.  Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof.  Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower.

 

(c)                               Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.  (i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding.  Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Facility and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02.  The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent.  Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the 

 

59

 

Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

 

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

 

(iii)                          If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing.  If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be.  A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(iv)                          Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in

 

60

 

Section 4.02.  No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

 

(d)                             Repayment of Participations.

 

(i)                                  At any time after any Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

 

(ii)                              If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate.  The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.  The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

 

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

 

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

 

2.05                    Prepayments.

 

(a)                               Optional.  (i) Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.05(a)(i), the Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty (subject, in the case of any Incremental Term Facility, to any prepayment provisions set forth in the applicable joinder agreement for such Incremental Term Facility); provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (1) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, (2) four Business Days (or five, in the case of prepayment of Loans denominated in Special Notice Currencies) prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar

 

61

 

Rate Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies and (3) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (B) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.  Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage in respect of the relevant Facility). If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided that not more than two times per fiscal year of the Borrower, such notice, if accompanied by a commitment reduction notice in accordance with Section 2.06, may state that it is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the incurrence of other Indebtedness, the consummation of a particular Disposition or the occurrence of a Change of Control, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified prepayment date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each prepayment of the outstanding Term A Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied to a particular Term Facility at the Borrower’s election, and to the principal repayment installments thereofof such Term Facility on a pro-rata basis, and subject.  Subject to Section 2.17, each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of each of the relevant Facilities.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower shall not be permitted to prepay the Term A Facility pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(i) during the period from the Effective Date through the date ten Business Days thereafter.

 

(ii)                              The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000.  Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment.  If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

 

(b)                              Mandatory.

(ii)                              Upon the sale or issuance by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any of its Equity Interests (other than any sales or issuances of Equity Interests to another Loan Party, to a wholly-owned Subsidiary of a Loan Party or to any director, officer, employee, consultant or advisor of the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof)), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 50% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by the Borrower or such Subsidiary (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clauses (vvi) and (viiviii) below).

 

(iii)                          Upon the incurrence or issuance by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.02), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by the Borrower or such Subsidiary (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clauses (vvi) and (viiviii) below).

 

(iv)                          Upon any Extraordinary Receipt received by or paid to or for the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and not otherwise included in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 2.05(b), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by the Borrower or such Subsidiary (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clauses (vvi) and (viiviii) below); provided, however, that with respect to any proceeds of insurance, condemnation awards (or payments in lieu thereof) or indemnity payments, at the election of the Borrower (as notified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date of receipt of such insurance proceeds, condemnation awards or indemnity payments), and so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower or such Subsidiary may apply

(vi)                          (v) Each (a) prepayment of Loans from the proceeds of any Refinancing Term Facility shall be applied ratably to the Term A Facility and any Incrementaltranche or tranches of Term Loans under the Term Facility or Term Facilities refinanced with the proceeds of the Refinancing Term Loans, for application to the principal repayment installments thereof (x) on a pro rata basis, in the case of the Term A Facility, and (y) as provided in suchthe applicable joinder agreements for any Incremental Term Facility and (b) other prepayment of Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied, first, ratably to the Term A Facility, any Incremental Term Facility and any Refinancing Term Facility, for application to the principal repayment installments thereof (x) on a pro rata basis, in the case of the Term A Facility, and (y) as provided in suchthe applicable joinder agreement for any Incremental Term Facility or Refinancing Term Facility and, second, to the Revolving Credit Facility in the manner set forth in clause (viiviii) of this Section 2.05(b), but without reducing the Revolving Credit Commitment.

 

64

 

(vii)                      (vi) If for any reason the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings at any time exceed the Revolving Credit Facility at such time, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Borrowings and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (other than the L/C Borrowings) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess (unless such excess is a result of the circumstances described in clause (viiiix) or (ixx) below, in which case such clause shall govern).

 

(viii)                  (vii) Prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility made pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) (except pursuant to clause (viiiix) hereof), first, shall be applied ratably to the L/C Borrowings and the Swing Line Loans, second, shall be applied ratably to the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, and, third, but only to the extent an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be used to Cash Collateralize the remaining L/C Obligations; and, in the case of prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility required pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 2.05(b), the amount remaining, if any, after the prepayment in full of all L/C Borrowings, Swing Line Loans and Revolving Credit Loans outstanding at such time and, if so required, the Cash Collateralization of the remaining L/C Obligations in full (the sum of such prepayment amounts, cash collateralization amounts and remaining amount being, collectively, the “Reduction Amount”) may be retained by the Borrower for use in the ordinary course of its business and for other purposes not prohibited hereby.  Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit that has been Cash Collateralized, the funds held as Cash Collateral shall be applied (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to reimburse the L/C Issuer or the Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable.

 

(ix)                          (viii) If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time that the Outstanding Amount of all Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies at such time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall prepay Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Outstanding Amount as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit then in effect.

 

(x)                              (ix) If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time that the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations at such time exceeds 105% of the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an amount equal to the amount by which the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in clause (b) of this Section 2.05(b)(xi) shall limit the prepayment obligation of the Borrower set forth in the proviso in Section 2.05(b)(xi)(a).

 

2.06                    Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

Not more than two times per fiscal year, a notice to reduce the Aggregate Commitments hereunder may state that it is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the incurrence of other Indebtedness, the consummation of a particular Disposition or the occurrence of a Change of Control, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified commitment reduction date) if such condition is not satisfied.

 

66

(c)                               Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Alternative Currency Sublimit, Swing Line Sublimit or the Revolving Credit Commitment under this Section 2.06.  Upon any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender shall be reduced by such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of such reduction amount.  All fees in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Credit Facility shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

(c)                               Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein.  Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after

 

68

 

judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

 

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

 

(a)                               Commitment Fee.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Fee Rate times the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Credit Facility exceeds the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.17.  The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period for the Revolving Credit Facility.  The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Fee Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Fee Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Fee Rate was in effect.

 

(b)                              Other Fees.

 

(i)                                  The Borrower shall pay to the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the fee letters with the Arrangers.  Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

 

(ii)                              The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.  Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

 

2.10                    Computation of Interest and Fees.  (a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year), or, in the case of interest in respect of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice.  Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.  With respect to all Non-LIBOR Quoted Currencies, the calculation of the applicable interest rate shall be determined in accordance with market practice.

 

69

 

(b)                              If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period.  This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under Section 2.03(c), 2.03(h) or 2.08(a) or under Article VIII.  The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive for 90 days following the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

 

2.11                    Evidence of Debt.

 

(a)                               The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business.  The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon.  Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.  Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records.  Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

 

(b)                              In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

 

2.12                    Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

 

(a)                               General.  All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.  Except as otherwise

 

70

 

expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time on the date specified herein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States.  If, for any reason, the Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount.  The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage in respect of the relevant Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office.  All payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m., in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent, in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.  If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected on computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

 

(b)                              (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the applicable Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.  If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

 

71

 

Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

 

(ii)                              Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the applicable Overnight Rate.

 

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

 

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

 

(d)                             Obligations of Lenders Several.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

 

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

 

(f)                                Insufficient Funds.  If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance

 

72

 

with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal and L/C Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and L/C Borrowings then due to such parties.

 

2.13                    Sharing of Payments by Lenders.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans and other amounts owing them, as the case may be, provided that:

 

(i)                                  if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

 

(ii)                              the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.16 or (C) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

 

The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

 

2.14                    Increase in Revolving Credit Facility.

 

(a)                               Request for Increase.  Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify all of the Revolving Credit Lenders), the Borrower may from time to time request an increase in the Revolving Credit Facility by an aggregate amount (for all such requests, together with the aggregate amount of all increases to the Term A Facility and any Incremental Term Facilities requested pursuant to Section 2.15(a)) not exceeding (x) $250,000,000 plus (y) an additional amount such that, after giving pro

 

73

 

forma effect to such increase and the application of proceeds of the Loans to be made on the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date, the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower most recently ended for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof shall be less than 3.50 to 1.0; provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, and (ii) the Borrower may make a maximum of threefour such requests in the aggregate under this Section 2.14(a) and Section 2.15(a).  At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Revolving Credit Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Revolving Credit Lenders).

 

(b)                              Lender Elections to Increase.  Each Revolving Credit Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of such requested increase.  Any Revolving Credit Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment.

 

(c)                               Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Revolving Credit Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Revolving Credit Lender of the Revolving Credit Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder.  To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

 

(d)                             Effective Date and Allocations.  If the Revolving Credit Facility is increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date.  On any Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date on which the Revolving Credit Facility is increased, subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Section 2.14, (i) each of the existing Revolving Credit Lenders shall assign to each of the new Revolving Credit Lenders, and each of the new Revolving Credit Lenders shall purchase from each of the existing Revolving Credit Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Credit Loans will be held by existing Revolving Credit Lenders and new Revolving Credit Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to such increase of the Revolving Credit Facility, (ii) each new Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Credit Commitment and each new Revolving Credit Loan made thereunder shall be deemed, for all purposes, a

 

74

 

Revolving Credit Loan and (iii) each new Revolving Credit Lender shall become a Lender and a Revolving Credit Lender with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility and all matters relating thereto.

 

(e)                               Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase.  As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (I) a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by each Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (or true and correct if such representations and warranties are already qualified by materiality) on and as of the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (or true and correct if such representations and warranties are already qualified by materiality) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.14, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01, (B) no Default exists, and (C) after giving pro forma effect to such increase and the application of proceeds of Loans to be made on the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date the Borrower would be in compliance with Section 7.11 as of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower most recently ended, and (II) any legal opinions, amendments to the Loan Documents, title insurance endorsements or such other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (including at the direction of the Required Revolving Lenders or the Required Lenders) in connection with any such increase.  The Borrower shall prepay any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section.  The Applicable Rate forinterest rate margins or unused fees applicable to any such increase will be determined by the Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders (including any new Revolving Credit Lenders) at the time such increase is made; provided that if such Applicable Ratethe interest rate margins or unused fees applicable to such increase would exceed the Applicable Rate forinterest rate margins or unused fees applicable to  the Revolving Credit Facility or the Term A Facility, the Applicable Rate forinterest rate margins or unused fees applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term A Facility (including any prior increases to the Revolving Credit Facility or Term A Facility) shall be automatically increased to equal the Applicable Rateinterest rate margins or unused fees on the new Revolving Credit Loans or new Term A Loans.Commitments; provided, further, that in determining the interest rate margins and unused fees for any such increase and the interest rate margins and unused fees applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term A Facility, as applicable, (x) upfront fees and original issue discount, as applicable, payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term A Facility and such increase to the Revolving Credit Facility in the initial primary syndications thereof (with such upfront fees or original issue discount being equated to interest based on assumed four-year life to maturity) and the

 

75

 

effects of any and all interest rate floors shall be included and (y) customary arrangement or unused fees payable to the Arrangers (or their respective affiliates) in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term A Facility or to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) of any such increase to the Revolving Credit Facility shall be excluded.

 

(f)                                Conflicting Provisions.  This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.

 

2.15                    Increase in Term Facilities.

 

(a)                               Request for Increase.  Provided there exists no Default, uponUpon notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may from time to time request an increase in the Term A Facility or, the issuance of a new tranche (of Term Loans consisting of the Acquisition Term B Facility or the issuance of another new tranche (any such tranche, including the Acquisition Term B Facility but excluding an increase in the Term A Facility, an “Incremental Term Facility”) of Term Loans (collectively, but excluding any increased Loans under the Term A Facility, the “Incremental Term Loans”) by anin the following amount: (I) with respect to the Acquisition Term B Facility, not to exceed $1,100,000,000 and (II) with respect to all other Incremental Term Facilities, Incremental Term Loans and increased Term Loans under the Term A Facility, by an aggregate amount (for all such requests, together with the aggregate amount of all increases to the Revolving Credit Facility requested pursuant to Section 2.14(a)) not exceeding (x) $250,000,000; provided that (i) if after giving pro forma effect to the application of proceeds of Loans to be made pursuant to such increase plus (y) an additional amount such that the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio would not exceed 3.50 to 1.0 as of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower most recently ended for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof, such $250,000,000 maximum shall not apply, (ii shall be less than 3.50 to 1.0 after giving pro forma effect to such increase or issuance and the application of proceeds of the Loans to be made on the Term Increase Effective Date; provided that (i) any such request for an increase or Incremental Term Facility shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 with respect to the any Term A Facility or Incremental Term Facility, (iiiii) the Borrower may make a maximum of threefour such requests in the aggregate under Section 2.14(a) and this Section 2.15(a), (iviii) any such Incremental Term Loans shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment, prepayment and of security with the Term A Loans and the other Obligations, (viv) any such Incremental Term Loans shall not mature earlier than the applicable maturity date for thelatest Maturity Date for any Term A LoansFacility then in effect, (viv) any such Incremental Term Loans shall have a weighted average life to maturity that is not shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of theany Term A LoansFacility then in effect, (viivi) any such Incremental Term Facility shall have pricing and optional prepayment terms as determined by the Administrative Agent, the Incremental Term Lenders under such Incremental Term Facility and the Borrower and as set forth in a joinder agreement in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Incremental Term Lenders under such Incremental Term Facility and the Borrower, and (viiivii) such Incremental Term Facility shall be subject to such other terms that are, taken as a whole, substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Incremental Term Lenders in respect thereof than those applicable to each then existing Term A LoansFacility, except to the extent necessary to provide for additional or different covenants or other terms applicable only

 

76

 

during the period after the applicable maturity datelatest Maturity Date of each other then existing Term Facility that is in effect as of the effective date for such Incremental Term Facility, and (viii) any increase to the Term A Facility shall be on terms (except for pricing, including interest rate margins, upfront fees and original issue discount) that are identical to the Term A Facility.

 

(b)                              Additional Term Lenders.  Subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower may invite Eligible Assignees to become Term Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel; it being understood that no Lender shall be obligated to provide any portion of such increase or Incremental Term Facility.

 

(c)                               Effective Date and Allocations.  If the Term Loans are increased or an Incremental Term Facility is provided in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Term Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase or Incremental Term Facility.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and, if any existing Term Lenders have elected to participate in the increased Term Loans or Incremental Term Facility, such Term Lenders under the applicable Facility of the final allocation of such increase or Incremental Term Facility and the Term Increase Effective Date.  As of the Term Increase Effective Date, (i) in the case of an increase of the Term A Facility, the amortization schedule for the Term A Loans set forth in Section 2.07(b) shall be amended to increase the then-remaining unpaid installments of principal by an aggregate amount equal to the additional Term A Loans being made on such date, such aggregate amount to be applied to increase such installments ratably in accordance with the amounts in effect immediately prior to the Term Increase Effective Date, and (ii) in the case of any Incremental Term Facility, the amortization schedule, if any, for such Incremental Term Loans shall be set forth in the applicable joinder agreement.  Such amendment may be signed by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders.

On any Term Increase Effective Date upon which the Term A Facility is increased, such increase shall become part of the Term A Facility and, without limiting the foregoing, the increased loans funded in connection therewith shall constitute Term A Loans and the Lenders thereunder shall constitute Lenders and Term A Lenders.

2.16                    Cash Collateral.

 

(a)                               Certain Credit Support Events.  Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations.  At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

 

(b)                              Grant of Security Interest.

If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

 

(c)                               Application.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.16 or Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.17 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued 

 

79

 

on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

 

(d)                             Release.  Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 10.06(b)(vi))) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.16 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.03), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

(i)                                  Waivers and Amendments.  That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01.

 

(ii)                              Reallocation of Payments.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations 

 

80

 

under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.17(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 

(iii)                          Certain Fees.  That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.09(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.03(h).

 

(iv)                          Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04, the “Applicable Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Credit Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of that Lender.

 

(b)                              Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans

 

81

 

of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

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

(iv)                          Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that the Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.

 

(f)                                Treatment of Certain Refunds.  Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or the L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be.  If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative

 

87

 

Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

 

3.02                    Illegality.  If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (whether denominated in Dollars or in an Alternative Currency), or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans in Dollars, to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans denominated in the affected currency shall be suspended and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate and if such Loans are denominated in Dollars, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

 

3.03                    Inability to Determine Rates.  If in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, (a) (i) the Administrative Agent determines that (i) deposits (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency)  are not being offered to banks in the Londonapplicable offshore interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed

 

88

 

Eurodollar Rate Loan (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan (in each case with respect to clause (a) above, “Impacted Loans”), or (b) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.  Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein to the extent available (or, in the case of a pending request for a Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, Australian Dollars or Canadian Dollars, the Borrower and the Required Lenders may establish a mutually acceptable alternative rate)..

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in this section, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower and the Required Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans,  in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a) of the first sentence of this section, (2) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written notice thereof.

 

3.04                    Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.

 

(a)                               Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:

 

(i)                                  impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e)) or the L/C Issuer;

 

89

 

(ii)                              subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer); or

 

(iii)                          impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

(b)                              Capital Requirements.  If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

 

(c)                               Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

 

90

 

(d)                             Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 

(e)                               Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.  The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender.  If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

 

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

 

(a)                               any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

 

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

 

(c)                               any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13; or

 

(d)                             any failure by the Borrower to make payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency;

 

excluding any loss of anticipated profits but including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable

 

91

 

to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.  The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

 

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

 

3.06                    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

 

(a)                               Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, the L/C Issuer, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.

 

(b)                              Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

 

3.07                    Survival.  All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

96

 

Without limiting the generality of the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 9.03, for purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in this Section 4.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Effective Date specifying its objection thereto.

Each Request for Credit Extension (other than a Committed Loan Notice requesting only a conversion of Loans to the other Type or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans) submitted by the Borrower shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty that the conditions specified in Sections 4.02(a) and (b) have been satisfied on and as of the date of the applicable Credit Extension.; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.02 to the contrary, in the case of a Request for Credit Extension for a Borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility to consummate the Acquisition, (i) such representations and warranties of the Borrower and each other Loan Party referenced in Section 4.02(a) shall instead be the Specified Representations and (ii) the condition specified in Section 4.02(b) shall not be a condition precedent to such Borrowing.

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, L/C Borrowings, to Obligations then owing under Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements and to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer, to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit, ratably among the Lenders, the L/C Issuer, the Hedge Banks and the Cash Management Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them; and

 

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

 

Subject to Sections 2.03(c) and 2.17, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur.  If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.  Each Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank not a party to the Credit Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article IX hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

 

Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or its assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section.

 

ARTICLE IX

9.01                    Appointment and Authority.

 

(a)                               Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

 

133

 

(b)                              The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Hedge Bank and a potential Cash Management Bank) and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.  In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X (including Section 10.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

 

9.02                    Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

 

9.03                    Exculpatory Provisions.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

 

(a)                               shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

 

(b)                              shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

 

(c)                               shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

 

134

 

(d)                             The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or the L/C Issuer.

 

(e)                               The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

 

9.04                    Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

 

9.05                    Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

 

135

 

9.06                    Resignation of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

 

Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

 

9.07                    Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and

 

136

 

information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 

9.08                    No Other Duties, Etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Book Managers, Arrangers, Documentation Agents or Syndication Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder.

 

9.09                    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

 

(a)                               to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations (other than Obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements without the consent of the applicable Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank) that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(h) and (i), 2.09 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 

(b)                              to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04.

 

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of

 

137

 

any Lender or the L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the L/C Issuer or in any such proceeding.

 

9.10                    Collateral and Guaranty Matters.  Each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Cash Management Bank and a potential Hedge Bank) and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

 

(a)                               to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank of Hedge Bank shall have been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer shall have been made), (ii) that is sold or transferred or to be sold or transferred as part of or in connection with any sale or transfer permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.01;

 

(b)                              to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder;  and

 

(c)                               to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; and

 

(d)                             (c) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(i).

 

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10.  In each case as specified in this Section 9.10, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.10.

 

9.11                    Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements.  No Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 8.03, the Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of the Guaranty or any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and,

 

138

 

in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender, (y) the principal amount of any Loan or L/C Borrowing or any fees or other amounts payable to such Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document may not be reduced or forgiven without the consent of such Lender and (z) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately as compared with other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

 

If any Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that (x) requires the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender or (y) extends the Commitments and/or the maturity date for the Obligations, and in either case such amendment, waiver, consent or release has been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrower may replace such non-consenting Lender in accordance with Section 10.13; provided that such amendment, waiver, consent or release can be effected as a result of the assignment contemplated by such Section (together with all other such assignments required by the Borrower to be made pursuant to this paragraph).

 

10.02            Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communications.

 

(a)                               Notices Generally.  Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as provided in subsection (b) below), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopier as follows, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows:

142

 

Notices and other communications sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices and other communications sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient).  Notices and other communications delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in subsection (b) below shall be effective as provided in such subsection (b).

 

(b)                              Electronic Communications.  Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Article II if such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication.  The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

 

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

 

(c)                               The Platform.  THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”  THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS.  NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM.  In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross

 

143

 

negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

 

(d)                             Change of Address, Etc.  Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.  Each other Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender.  In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, telecopier number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender.  Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

 

(e)                               Reliance by Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Lenders.  The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof.  The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower.  All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

 

10.03            No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement.  No failure by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan

 

144

 

Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the L/C Issuer; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.13), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

 

10.04            Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

 

(a)                               Costs and Expenses.  The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer), and shall pay all fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all reasonable fees, time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, 

 

145

 

incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including in respect of any matters addressed in Section 3.01), (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of the Borrower’s or such Loan Party’s directors, shareholders or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for material breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10.04 shall not apply with respect to Taxes (except for Taxes resulting from non-Tax related claims, losses or liabilities).

 

(c)                               Reimbursement by Lenders.  To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity.  The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).

 

146

 

(d)                             Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.  No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(e)                               Payments.  All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.

 

(f)                                Survival.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

 

10.05            Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment.  The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

 

10.06            Successors and Assigns.

 

(a)                               Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or

 

147

 

obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.06(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

(b)                              Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.06(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

 

(i)                                  Minimum Amounts.

 

(A)                          in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment under any Facility and the Loans at the time owing to it under such Facility or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

 

(B)                           in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, or $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of any Term Facility, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

 

(ii)                              Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment

 

148

 

assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not (A) apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans or (B) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis;

 

(iii)                          Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

 

(A)                          the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

 

(B)                           the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (1) any Revolving Credit Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (2) any Term Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

 

(C)                           the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding);

 

(D)                          the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility; and

 

(E)                            notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights of the Lenders to make assignment of their Commitments shall be subject to the approval of any Gaming Board, to the extent required by applicable Gaming Laws.

 

(iv)                          Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.  The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

 

149

 

(v)                              No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment shall be made (A) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

 

(vi)                          No Assignment to Natural Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

 

(vii)                      No Assignment Resulting in Additional Indemnified Taxes.  No such assignment in respect of any Revolving Credit Commitment shall be made to any Person that, (A) through its Lending Offices, cannot make Loans denominated in the applicable Alternative Currencies to the Borrower or (B) through the making of Loans to the Borrower through its Lending Offices, would subject the Borrower to additional Indemnified Taxes.

 

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

 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.

 

150

 

Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.06(d).

 

(c)                               Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(d)                             Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant.  Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b).  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any

 

151

 

Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or to comply with any other requirement of applicable Tax Law.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights of the Lenders to grant participations in their Commitments shall be subject to the approval of any Gaming Board, to the extent required by applicable Gaming Laws.

 

(e)                               Limitations upon Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.  A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender).

 

(f)                                Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 

(g)                              Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 10.06(b), Bank of America may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender.  In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be.  If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)).  If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date

 

152

 

of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c).  Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

 

10.07            Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors, members and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same or at least as restrictive as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(c) or Section 2.15(c) or (ii) any actual or prospective direct or indirect counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.  In addition, the Administrative Agent and each Arranger and Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

 

“Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information or otherwise in accordance with such Person’s customary practices.

 

153

 

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.

 

10.08            Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have.  The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have.  Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

 

10.09            Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

 

154

 

10.10            Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

 

10.11            Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.  Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

 

10.12            Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

 

10.13            Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this 

 

155

 

Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

 

(a)                               the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);

 

(b)                              such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

 

(c)                               in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

 

(d)                             such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

 

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

 

10.14            Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

 

(a)                               GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

(b)                              SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.  NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE L/C ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS

 

156

 

AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

 

(c)                               WAIVER OF VENUE.  THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION.

NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW

 

10.15            Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B)  the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and each Lender each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower, or any other Person and (B) neither the

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

 

10.18            USA PATRIOT Act.  Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “PATRIOT Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.

158

 

10.22            Judgment Currency.  If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.  The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

 

10.23            Financial Covenant Matters.  To the extent that, for any reason, any Lender (other than in its capacity as a Revolving Credit Lender or Term A Lender) shall have the right to vote or consent with respect to any Financial Covenant Reserved Matter, then notwithstanding anything in Section 10.01 or the definition of Required Lenders to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Lenders have consented to, or voted in favor or against, any Financial Covenant Reserved Matter, such Lender hereby agrees and acknowledges that it shall be deemed to have voted its interests hereunder (other than any interests of such Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility or Term A Facility) with respect to any such Financial Covenant Reserved Matter without discretion in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matters by Revolving Credit Lenders and Term A Lenders in their capacities as such.  In furtherance of this Section 10.23, each Lender (other than in its capacity as a Revolving Credit Lender or Term A Lender) agrees to execute and deliver any ballot or other instrument reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to evidence the voting of its interest as a Lender in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.23; provided that if such Lender fails to promptly execute such ballot or other instrument such failure shall in no way prejudice any of the Administrative Agents’ rights under this paragraph and the Administrative Agent is hereby appointed (such appointment being coupled with an interest) by such Lender as the such Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Lender and in the name of such Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any ballot or other instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Section 10.23.

3.                                    Creation of Security Interest.

 

3.1                            Pledge of Pledged Collateral.  As security for the prompt payment, in full in cash, and full performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration or otherwise) of all of the Obligations, subject to compliance with applicable Gaming Laws, Grantors hereby jointly and severally pledge to Administrative Agent on behalf of Secured Parties and grant to Administrative Agent on behalf of Secured Parties a security interest in and to all Pledged Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, together with all products, proceeds, rights to proceeds, Distributions, Cash, instruments and other Property, and any and all rights, titles, interests, privileges, benefits and preferences appertaining or incidental to the Pledged Collateral (provided that in no event shall any Excluded Collateral be pledged hereunder); provided, however, that the foregoing pledge and grant of a security interest shall not apply to any right, title or interest of any Grantor in any gaming or other license under any Gaming Law, but only to the extent that granting a security interest in any such license

 

-3-

 

would violate applicable Gaming Law.  The security interest and pledge created by this Section 3.1 shall continue in effect until termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been made and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank shall have been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer shall have been made).

 

3.2                            Delivery of Certain Pledged Collateral.  On or before the date hereof, Grantors shall cause to be pledged and delivered to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties, subject to applicable Gaming Laws, all Certificates evidencing the Pledged Securities.  Following the date hereof, subject to applicable Gaming Laws, upon receipt of any additional Certificates or other Pledged Collateral, Grantors shall promptly, and in any event within 60 Business Days of receipt, deliver such Certificates to the Administrative Agent and take all other actions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to grant the Administrative Agent a perfected first priority security interest in such additional Pledged Collateral (including, without limitation, amending or supplementing the schedules hereto).  All Certificates at any time delivered to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent.  Administrative Agent shall hold all Certificates  pledged hereunder pursuant to this Agreement unless and until released in accordance with Section 3.3 of this Agreement.

 

3.3                            Release of Pledged Collateral.

Any request for any permitted release shall be transmitted to Administrative Agent.  Administrative Agent, at the expense of Grantors, promptly shall redeliver all Certificates and shall execute and deliver to Grantors all documents requested by Grantors that are reasonably necessary to release Pledged Collateral of record whenever Grantors shall be entitled to the release thereof in accordance with this Section 3.3.

 

4.                                    Security for Obligations.

-4-

 

Obligations of such Grantor secured hereby shall exclude any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Grantor.

 

5.                                    Further Assurances.  Each Grantor agrees that at any time, and from time to time, at its own expense, subject to applicable Gaming Laws, such Grantor will promptly execute, deliver and file or record all further financing statements, instruments and documents, and will take all further actions, including, without limitation, causing the issuers of, or obligors on any of the Pledged Collateral to so execute, deliver, file or take other actions, that may be necessary or desirable, or that Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any pledge or security interest granted hereby or to enable Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Pledged Collateral and to preserve, protect and maintain the Pledged Collateral and the value thereof, including, without limitation, payment of all taxes, assessments and other charges imposed on or relating to the Pledged Collateral.  Each Grantor hereby, but subject to applicable Gaming Laws, (a) irrevocably directs the issuers of or obligors on any such Pledged Collateral, or each securities intermediary, registrar, transfer agent or trustee for any such Pledged Collateral, to accept the provisions of this Agreement as conclusive evidence of the right of Administrative Agent to effect any transfer or exercise any right hereunder or with respect to any such Pledged Collateral, notwithstanding any other notice or direction to the contrary heretofore or hereafter given by such Grantor or any other Person to any of such parties; and (b) covenants and agrees to transfer or reinvest any such Pledged Collateral, immediately upon Administrative Agent’s request, in such manner as may be deemed necessary or desirable by Administrative Agent to create and perfect, and to continue and preserve, an indefeasible security interest in such Pledged Collateral in favor of Administrative Agent on behalf of Secured Parties, or the priority, control and exclusivity thereof, free of all other Liens and claims except Liens permitted under the Credit Agreement.

 

6.                                    Voting Rights; Dividends; etc.  So long as no Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement occurs and remains continuing:

 

6.1                            Voting Rights.  Grantors shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Securities, or any part thereof, for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or the other Loan Documents.

 

6.2                            Interest and Distribution Rights.  Grantors shall be entitled to receive and to retain and use any and all interest, premiums or Distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral; provided, however, that any and all such Distributions received in the form of capital stock (or other equity interest) shall be, and the Certificates representing such capital stock (or other equity interest) forthwith shall be delivered to Administrative Agent to hold as, Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by Grantors, be received in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, be segregated from the other property of Grantors, and forthwith be delivered to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements).  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Grantors shall not be required to deliver to Administrative Agent to hold as Pledged Collateral any Distributions received in the form of capital stock (or other equity interest), and such Distributions shall not constitute Pledged Collateral to the extent that the same constitutes Excluded Collateral.

7.                                    Rights During Default or Event of Default.  When a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing:

 

7.1                            Voting and Distribution Rights.  At the option of Administrative Agent, subject to applicable Gaming Laws, all rights of Grantors to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which they would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6.1 above, and to receive the interest, premiums and Distributions which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 6.2 above, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties, and Administrative Agent shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and to hold as Pledged Collateral such Distributions, provided, however, that Grantors’ rights to receive Distributions pursuant to Section 6.2 above shall not cease with respect to, and Administrative Agent shall not have the right to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral, any Distributions made in respect of the Pledged Collateral in the form of capital stock (or other Equity Interest), or the Certificates representing such capital stock (or other Equity Interest), to the extent that (a) such capital stock (or other Equity Interest) represents an Equity Interest in a Foreign Subsidiary and (b) Administrative Agent’s receipt of such capital stock (or other Equity Interest) would cause Administrative Agent to obtain a pledge pursuant to this Agreement of any Excluded Collateral.  Administrative Agent shall give notice to Grantors of its election to exercise voting rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral; provided, however, that (i) neither the giving of such notice nor the receipt thereof by Grantors shall be a condition to exercise of any rights of Administrative Agent hereunder, and (ii) neither Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall incur any liability for failing to give such notice.

 

7.2                            Distributions Held in Trust.  All Distributions which are received by Grantors contrary to the provisions of this Agreement shall be received in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other funds of Grantors, and subject to applicable Law, including Gaming Laws, forthwith shall be paid over to Administrative Agent for the account of Secured Parties as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements).

 

7.3                            Irrevocable Proxy.  Grantors hereby jointly and severally revoke all previous proxies with regard to the Pledged Securities and, to the extent allowable under applicable Gaming Laws, appoints Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as its proxyholder to attend and vote at any and all meetings of the shareholders (or other equity holders, as applicable) of the corporations (or other entities, as applicable) which issued the Pledged Securities, and any adjournments thereof, held on or after the date of the giving of this proxy and prior to the termination of this proxy and to execute any and all written consents of shareholders (or other holders of Equity Interests, as applicable) of such corporations (or other entities, as applicable) executed on or after the date of the giving of this proxy and prior to the termination of this proxy, with the same effect as if each Grantor had personally attended the meetings or had personally voted its shares (or other Equity Interests, as applicable) or had personally signed the written consents; provided, however, that the proxyholder shall have rights hereunder only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement and that such rights shall be subject to applicable Gaming Laws.  Grantors hereby jointly and severally authorize Administrative Agent, subject to the terms and conditions of applicable Gaming Laws, to substitute another Person as the proxyholder and, upon the

 

-6-

 

occurrence or during the continuance of any Event of Default, hereby authorizes and directs the proxyholder to file this proxy and the substitution instrument with the secretary or other appropriate officer of the appropriate corporation or other entity as applicable.  This proxy is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank of Hedge Bank shall have been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer shall have been made).

 

8.                                    Transfers and Other Liens.  Subject to the terms and conditions of applicable Gaming Laws, Grantors agree that, except as specifically permitted under the Loan Documents, they will not (i) sell, assign, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or contract to sell, assign, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Pledged Collateral, (ii) create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral, except for Liens permitted by the Credit Agreement, or (iii) take any action with respect to the Pledged Collateral which is inconsistent with the provisions or purposes of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

9.                                    Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.  Subject to the terms and conditions of applicable Gaming Laws, each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties as such Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor, and in the name of such Grantor, or otherwise, from time to time, in Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion to do any of the following acts or things:  (a) following Administrative Agent’s request thereof and such Grantor’s failure to perform, to do all acts and things and to execute all documents necessary or advisable to perfect and continue perfected the security interests created by this Agreement and to preserve, maintain and protect the Pledged Collateral; (b) from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to do any and every act which such Grantor is obligated to do under this Agreement; (c) to prepare, file and record, in such Grantor’s name, any financing statement, amendment or continuation covering the Pledged Collateral (which such financing statement may describe the collateral covered thereby as “all assets” or “all personal property” of the debtor or words of similar import); and (d) from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to endorse and transfer the Pledged Collateral upon foreclosure by the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation whatsoever to take any of the foregoing actions, and neither Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any liability or responsibility for any act (other than Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or omission taken with respect thereto.  Each Grantor hereby agrees to repay immediately upon demand all reasonable costs and expenses incurred or expended by the Secured Parties in exercising any right or taking any action under this Agreement, together with interest as provided for in the Credit Agreement.

 

10.                            Administrative Agent May Perform Obligations. If any Grantor fails to perform any Obligation contained herein, Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Party may, subject to compliance with applicable Gaming Laws, but without any obligation to do so and

 

-7-

 

without notice to or demand upon such Grantor, perform the same and take such other action as Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable to protect the Pledged Collateral or Administrative Agent’s security interests therein, Administrative Agent being hereby authorized (without limiting the general nature of the authority hereinabove conferred) to pay, purchase, contest and compromise any Lien which in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent appears to be prior or superior to Administrative Agent’s security interests or is not permitted to attach to the Pledged Collateral, and in exercising any such powers and authority to pay necessary expenses, employ counsel and pay reasonable attorneys’ fees.  Each Grantor hereby agrees to repay promptly upon demand all sums so expended by the Secured Parties, together with interest from the date of expenditure at the rates provided for in the Credit Agreement.  Neither Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be under any duty or obligation to preserve, maintain or protect the Pledged Collateral or any of such Grantor’s rights or interest therein, exercise any voting rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral, whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, or make or give any notices of default, presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance or dishonor, protests, notices of protest or notice of any other nature whatsoever in connection with the Pledged Collateral on behalf of such Grantor or any other Person having any interest therein; and neither Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party assumes and none shall be obligated to perform the obligations of such Grantor, if any, with respect to the Pledged Collateral.

 

11.                            Reasonable Care.  Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if the Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially similar to that which Administrative Agent accords its own property and if the Pledged Collateral is maintained in a location not disapproved by the applicable Gaming Board, it being understood that Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for ascertaining or taking action with respect to maturities, calls, conversions, exchanges, tenders or other matters relative to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not Administrative Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Pledged Collateral. Administrative Agent shall comply with the conditions, if any, imposed by any Gaming Board in connection with the approvals of the security interest granted hereunder by Grantors.  Administrative Agent shall not surrender possession of any Pledged Collateral which consists of Pledged Securities of any Subsidiary subject to Gaming Laws or holding a license issued by a Gaming Board to any Person without the prior approval of the applicable Gaming Board or as otherwise permitted by then current applicable Gaming Laws.

 

12.                            Events of Default and Remedies.

 

12.1                    Rights Upon Event of Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, Grantors shall be in default hereunder and Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have in any jurisdiction where enforcement is sought, subject to compliance with applicable Gaming Laws, all rights and remedies that Administrative Agent may have under this Agreement and under applicable Law or in equity (including, without limitation, all of its rights and remedies as a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in any such jurisdiction), and in addition, subject to compliance with applicable Gaming Laws, the following rights and remedies, all of which may be exercised with or without further notice to Grantors:

 

-8-

 

(a)                               to notify any Issuer of any Pledged Securities and any and all other obligors on any Pledged Collateral that the same has been pledged to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties and that all Distributions and other payments thereon are to be made directly and exclusively to Administrative Agent for the account of Secured Parties; to renew, extend, modify, amend, accelerate, accept partial payments on, make allowances and adjustments and issue credits with respect to, release, settle, compromise, compound, collect or otherwise liquidate, on terms acceptable to Administrative Agent, in whole or in part, the Pledged Collateral and any amounts owing thereon or any guaranty or security therefor; to enter into any other agreement relating to or affecting the Pledged Collateral; and to give all consents, waivers and ratifications with respect to the Pledged Collateral and exercise all other rights (including voting rights), powers and remedies and otherwise act with respect thereto as if Administrative Agent were the owner thereof;

 

(b)                              to enforce payment and prosecute any action or proceeding with respect to any and all of the Pledged Collateral and take or bring, in Administrative Agent’s name or in the name of Grantors, all steps, actions, suits or proceedings deemed by Administrative Agent necessary or desirable to effect collection of or to realize upon the Pledged Collateral;

 

(c)                               in accordance with applicable Law, including Gaming Laws, to take possession of the Pledged Collateral with or without judicial process;

 

(d)                             to endorse, in the name of Grantors, all checks, notes, drafts, money orders, instruments and other evidences of payment relating to the Pledged Collateral;

 

(e)                               to transfer any or all of the Pledged Collateral into the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee or nominees; and

 

(f)                                in accordance with applicable Law, including Gaming Laws, to foreclose the Liens and security interests created under this Agreement or under any other agreement relating to the Pledged Collateral by any available judicial procedure or without judicial process, and to sell, assign or otherwise dispose of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, either at public or private sale or at any broker’s board or securities exchange, in lots or in bulk, for cash, on credit or on future delivery, or otherwise, with or without representations or warranties, and upon such terms as shall be acceptable to Administrative Agent;

 

all at the sole option of and in the sole discretion of Administrative Agent.

 

12.2                    Sales.  Subject to compliance with applicable Gaming Laws, any sale of the Pledged Collateral shall be held at such time or times and at such place or places as Administrative Agent may determine in the exercise of its sole and absolute discretion.  Any Secured Party may bid (which bid may be, in whole or in part, in the form of cancellation of Obligations) for and purchase the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral.  The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Pledged Collateral if it shall determine not to do so regardless of the fact that notice of sale of the Pledged Collateral may

 

-9-

 

have been given.  The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn the sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.

 

12.3                    Private Sales.  Subject to compliance with applicable Gaming Laws, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, whether or not any of the Pledged Collateral has been effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or other applicable Laws, Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, sell all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable in order that the sale may be lawfully conducted.  Without limiting the foregoing, Administrative Agent may (i) approach and negotiate with a limited number of potential purchasers, and (ii) restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Pledged Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  In the event that any of the Pledged Collateral is sold at private sale, each Grantor agrees that if the Pledged Collateral is sold for a price which Administrative Agent in good faith believes to be reasonable, then, (A) the sale shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable in all respects, (B) such Grantor shall not be entitled to a credit against the Obligations in an amount in excess of the purchase price, and (C) Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability or responsibility to such Grantor in connection therewith, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized at a public sale.  Grantors recognize that a ready market may not exist for Pledged Collateral which is not regularly traded on a recognized securities exchange or in another recognized market, and that a sale by Administrative Agent of any such Pledged Collateral for an amount substantially less than a pro rata share of the fair market value of such Issuer’s assets minus liabilities may be commercially reasonable in view of the difficulties that may be encountered in attempting to sell a large amount of Pledged Collateral or Pledged Collateral that is privately traded.

 

12.4                    Title of Purchasers.  Subject to compliance with applicable Gaming Laws, upon consummation of any sale of Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Section 12, Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Pledged Collateral so sold.  Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Pledged Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Grantors, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of Law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.  If the sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, Administrative Agent shall not be required to apply any portion of the sale price to the Obligations until such amount actually is received by Administrative Agent, and any Pledged Collateral so sold may be retained by Administrative Agent until the sale price is paid in full by the purchaser or purchasers thereof.  Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to pay for the Pledged Collateral so sold, and, in case of any such failure, the Pledged Collateral may be sold again upon like notice.

 

12.5                    Disposition of Proceeds of Sale.  The net cash proceeds resulting from the collection, liquidation, sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral shall be applied, first, to the reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of retaking, holding,

 

-10-

 

storing, processing and preparing for sale, selling, collecting and liquidating the Pledged Collateral, and the like; second, to the satisfaction of all Obligations, with application as to any particular Obligations to be in the order set forth in the Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents; and, third, to all other indebtedness secured hereby in such order and manner as Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion may determine.

 

12.6                    Compliance with Missouri Gaming Laws.

 

(a)                               For the purposes of this Agreement “Missouri Gaming Laws” shall mean the statutes, regulations and law governing licensed riverboat gaming in the State of Missouri, including without limitation, Chapter 313, RSMo, and 11 CSR Division 45, as the same may be amended from time to time; “Missouri Gaming Subsidiary” means any Subsidiary of any Grantor subject to the Missouri Gaming Laws; “Missouri Pledged Securities” means Pledged Securities which are issued by any Missouri Gaming Subsidiary.

 

(b)                              Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the pledge of and grant of a security interest in the Missouri Pledged Securities herein, the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies with respect to such Missouri Pledged Securities, the enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies with respect to the Missouri Pledged Securities and the other terms of this Agreement affecting the Missouri Pledged Securities and any Missouri Gaming Subsidiary are subject to the Missouri Gaming Laws; (ii) the ownership interests evidenced by the Missouri Pledged Securities may not be transferred in any way pursuant to this Agreement or any other pledge, hypothecation or security interest without separate notice to the Missouri Gaming commission or other applicable Gaming Board at least thirty (30) days prior to such transfer or as otherwise permitted by then current applicable Gaming Laws.  The Administrative Agent acknowledges (x) that upon such transfer, or upon Administrative Agent having the power to vote any ownership interest in any Missouri Gaming Subsidiary, any license granted by the Missouri Gaming Commission shall be null and void unless the Missouri Gaming Commission or other applicable Gaming board has approved such transfer by vote of the commissioners; and (y) that only persons and entities licensed by the Missouri Gaming Commission are permitted to operate riverboat gaming facilities in Missouri or are permitted to supply, sell and transfer gaming equipment and slot machines in Missouri.

 

13.                            Continuing Effect.  This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Grantors for liquidation or reorganization, should Grantors become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of Grantors’ assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable Law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.  In the event that any payment or any part thereof is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall

 

-11-

 

be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

 

14.                            Covenant Not to Issue Uncertificated Securities.  Except as set forth on Schedule II attached hereto, Grantors jointly and severally represent and warrant to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties that, as of the date hereof, all of the capital stock (or other Equity Interests) of each of the Issuers is in certificated form (as defined in Article 8 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code), and, subject to compliance with applicable Gaming Laws, covenant to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties that they will not, without prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the taking of all actions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order for the Administrative Agent to maintain its perfected first priority security interest in such capital stock (or other Equity Interests), cause or permit (i) any Issuer not listed on or added to Schedule II hereto at such time to convert all or any part of its existing capital stock (or other Equity Interest) into uncertificated form (as defined in Article 8 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code) or (ii) any Issuer to convert all or any part of its existing capital stock (or other Equity Interest) that is in uncertificated form (as defined in Article 8 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code) to certificated form (as defined in Article 8 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code).  The foregoing representations, warranties and covenants shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

 

15.                            Joinder.  Any other Person may become a Grantor hereunder and become bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement by executing and delivering to Administrative Agent an Instrument of Joinder substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, accompanied by such documentation as Administrative Agent may require to establish the due organization, valid existence and good standing of such Person, its qualification to engage in business in each material jurisdiction in which it is required to be so qualified, its authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, and the identity, authority and capacity of each Responsible Officer thereof authorized to act on its behalf.

 

16.                            Covenant Not to Dilute Interests of Secured Party in Pledged Securities.  Grantors jointly and severally represent, warrant and covenant to the Administrative Agent (for and on behalf of the Secured Parties) that they will not at any time cause or permit any Issuer to issue any additional capital stock (or other Equity Interest), or any warrants, options or other rights to acquire any additional capital stock (or other Equity Interest), if the effect thereof would be to dilute in any way the interests of Administrative Agent in any Pledged Securities or in any Issuer.

 

17.                            Indemnity.  Without limiting any indemnification obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Grantors jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless Secured Parties, and each of them, from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, judgments and liabilities (including without limitation liabilities for penalties) of whatsoever kind or nature, and to reimburse Secured Parties for all costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and/or costs and expenses associated with, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the exercise by Secured Parties of any right or remedy granted to it hereunder or under the other Loan Documents; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Secured Party, be available to the extent that such claims,

 

-12-

 

demands, losses, judgments and liabilities or costs and expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Secured Party or (y) result from a claim brought by a Grantor against a Secured Party for material breach in bad faith of such Secured Party’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Secured Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.  In no event shall Administrative Agent be liable for any matter or thing in connection with this Agreement other than to account for monies actually received by it in accordance with the terms hereof.  If and to the extent that the agreements of Grantors under this Section 17 are unenforceable for any reason, Grantors hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable Law.

 

18.                            Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void. By accepting the benefits of the Loan Documents, each Hedge Bank and Cash Management Bank agrees to be bound by all of the applicable provisions thereof.

 

19.                            Amendments in Writing.  None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each affected Grantor and the Administrative Agent, subject to any consents required under the Credit Agreement; provided that any provision of this Agreement imposing obligations on any Grantor may be waived by the Administrative Agent in a written instrument executed by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, no such waiver amendment, supplement or modification shall require the consent of any Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank except as may be expressly provided in the Credit Agreement.

 

20.                            Statute of Limitations and Other Laws.  Until the Obligations, other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been made and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank of Hedge Bank shall have been made, shall have been paid and performed in full, and the expiration or termination of all Commitments and Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer shall have been made), the power of sale and all other rights, privileges, powers and remedies granted to the Secured Parties hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised by Secured Parties at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that any of the Obligations may have become barred by any statute of limitations.  Each Grantor expressly waives the benefit of any and all statutes of limitation, and any and all Laws providing for exemption of property from execution or for valuation and appraisal upon foreclosure, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

 

21.                            Other Agreements.  Nothing herein shall in any way modify or limit the effect of terms or conditions set forth in any other security or other agreement executed by Grantors, or

 

-13-

 

any of them, or in connection with the Obligations, but each and every term and condition hereof shall be in addition thereto.  All provisions contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document that apply to Loan Documents generally are fully applicable to this Agreement and are incorporated herein by this reference.

 

22.                            Understandings With Respect to Waivers and Consents.  Each Grantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth herein are made after consultation with legal counsel and with full knowledge of their significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense or right waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which such Grantor otherwise may have against any Secured Party or others, or against Pledged Collateral.  If any of the waivers or consents herein are determined to be contrary to any applicable Law or public policy, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

 

23.                            GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE GAMING LAWS INCLUDING MISSOURI GAMING LAWS.

 

24.                            Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

25.                            Additional Powers and Authorization.  The Administrative Agent has been appointed as the Administrative Agent hereunder pursuant to the Credit Agreement and shall be entitled to the benefits of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may employ agents, trustees, or attorneys-in-fact and, subject to compliance with applicable Gaming Laws, may vest any of them with any property (including, without limitation, the Pledged Collateral), title, right or power deemed necessary for the purposes of such appointment.  It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties to this Agreement that any authority conferred upon the Administrative Agent hereunder is subject to the terms of the delegation of authority made by the Secured Parties to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and that the Administrative Agent has agreed to act (and any successor collateral agent shall act) as such hereunder only on the express conditions contained in the Credit Agreement. Any successor administrative agent appointed pursuant to the Credit Agreement shall be entitled to all the rights, interests and benefits of the Administrative Agent hereunder.

 

26.                            WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE

 

-14-

28.                            Amendment and Restatement of Existing Pledge Agreement.  (a)  Subject to Section 28(b) below, this Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Existing Pledge Agreement in its entirely and the Existing Pledge Agreement shall thereafter be and shall be deemed replaced and superseded in all respect by this Agreement.  The execution of this Agreement shall not operate as a novation, waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or Secured Parties, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Existing Pledge Agreement.  Each Grantor (i) acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement does not constitute a novation or termination of the “Obligations” under the Existing Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents as in effect prior to the effective date of the amendment and restatement of the Existing Pledge Agreement (the “Restatement Effective Date”) and which remain outstanding as of the Restatement Effective Date, (ii) acknowledges and agrees that the “Obligations” under Existing Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents are in all respects continuing (as amended and restated hereby and which are in all respects hereinafter subject to the terms herein), (iii) ratifies and reaffirms all of its payments and performance obligations, contingent or otherwise, under each Loan Document, (iv) and ratifies and reaffirms each of the liens and security interests granted by it to Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent for the benefit of the secured parties named in the Existing Pledge Agreement, in or pursuant to the Existing Pledge Agreement, and confirms and agrees that such liens and security interests are in all respects continuing and in full force and effect and shall continue to secure all of the Obligations, including without limitation, all Obligations under the Credit Agreement and (v) agrees that this Agreement shall in no manner impair or otherwise adversely affect any of such liens and security interests.

 

(b)  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 28 or any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that (i) the pledge of any Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement requires any prior consent or approval under applicable Gaming Law in order to become effective (a “Required Approval”), which Required Approval has not been obtained as of the date of this Agreement and (ii) the pledge of such Pledged Collateral pursuant to the Existing Pledge Agreement is effective, then with respect to such Pledged Collateral (and only such Pledged Collateral) this Agreement shall not replace the Existing Pledge Agreement in accordance with Section 28(a) until such time as the Required Approval with respect to such Pledged Collateral has been obtained (at which time, with respect to such Pledged Collateral, this Agreement shall supersede and replace the Existing Pledge Agreement in accordance with Section 28(a) above, and the pledge of such Pledged Collateral hereunder shall become automatically effective without any act or action of any party).  The Grantors hereby agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all Required Approvals as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement; provided that in any event, with respect to Pledged Collateral consisting of Equity Interests in Domestic Subsidiaries, the Grantors shall obtain all such Required Approvals on or before the Acquisition Closing Date.

INSTRUMENT OF JOINDER

 

THIS INSTRUMENT OF JOINDER (“Joinder”) is executed as of _______________, _____, by ______________________________, a ___________________________ (“Joining Party ”), and delivered to Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity and together with its successors and assigns, the “Administrative Agent”), pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Pledge Agreement dated as of [___], 2013, made by each of the Grantors listed on the signature pages thereto and certain other Grantors party thereto from time to time in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Pledge Agreement”).  Terms used but not defined in this Joinder shall have the meanings defined for those terms in the Pledge Agreement.

 

RECITALS

 

(A)                          The Pledge Agreement was made by the Grantors in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 19, 2013 (as amended by the Amendment No. 1 to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of [___], and as it may from time to time be further amended, restated, extended, renewed, modified or supplemented, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Bally Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Borrower ”), the Lenders therein named and Bank of America, N.A., as the Administrative Agent.

 

(B)                           Joining Party has become a Subsidiary of Borrower, and as such is required pursuant to Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement to become a Grantor under the Pledge Agreement.

 

(C)                           Joining Party expects to realize direct and indirect benefits as a result of the availability to Borrower of the Loans under the Credit Agreement and the availability of financing accommodations to the Loan Parties under the Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements.

 

NOW THEREFORE, Joining Party agrees as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

(1)                              By this Joinder, Joining Party becomes a “Grantor” under and pursuant to Section 15 of the Pledge Agreement.  Joining Party agrees that, upon its execution hereof, it will become a Grantor under the Pledge Agreement with respect to the Obligations (other than any Excluded Swap Obligations of the Joining Party), and will be bound by all terms, conditions, and duties applicable to a Grantor under the Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Joining Party hereby pledges, assigns, transfers and grants to the

 

Sch. - 2

 

Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, and a continuing lien on, all of the Pledged Collateral of the Joining Party, wherever located and whether now owned or existing or at any time hereafter acquired by the Joining Party or in which the Joining Party now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest, as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations (other than any Excluded Swap Obligations of the Joining Party).

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED BORROWER SECURITY AGREEMENT

 

This SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED BORROWER SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of August 27, 2013, is made by Bally Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Grantor”), in favor of Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity and together with its successors and assigns, the “Administrative Agent”), for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement referred to below, with reference to the following facts:

 

RECITALS

 

A.                                Grantor has granted security interests to the Administrative Agent under a Borrower Security Agreement, dated as of September 26, 2008, as amended and restated by an Amended and Restated Borrower Security Agreement dated as of May 13, 2011 (the “Existing Security Agreement”), and desires to amend and restate the Existing Security Agreement pursuant to this Agreement.

 

B                                     Grantor has entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 19, 2013 among Grantor, the Lenders referred to therein, and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent (as amended by the Amendment No. 1 to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August 27, and as it may from time to time be further amended, restated, extended, renewed, modified or supplemented, the “Credit Agreement”).  This Agreement is the Borrower Security Agreement referred to in the Credit Agreement and is one of the “Loan Documents” referred to in the Credit Agreement.

 

C.                                 Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders had made, and are making, certain credit facilities available to Grantor.  Additionally, as contemplated by the Credit Agreement, from time to time, certain Secured Parties may enter into Secured Cash Management Agreements and/or Secured Hedge Agreements with the Grantor and/or the other Loan Parties.

 

D.                                As a condition to the continued availability of such credit facilities, Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements, Grantor is required to enter into this Agreement to pledge certain Collateral (as hereinafter defined) to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as herein provided.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce Lenders to extend and maintain the aforementioned credit facilities and the Secured Parties to extend and maintain the financial accommodations under the Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which hereby is acknowledged, Grantor hereby represents, warrants, covenants, agrees, assigns and grants, and the Existing Security Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, in each case, as follows:

At any time and from time to time, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to authenticate on behalf and in the name of Grantor, file and/or record any or all such financing statements which financing statement may describe the collateral covered thereby as “all assets” or “all personal property” of the debtor or words of similar import), amendments, continuations, instruments and documents held by it, and any or all such further financing statements, documents and instruments, and to take all such other actions, as Administrative Agent may deem appropriate to perfect and to maintain perfected the security interests granted in Section 3 of this Agreement to the extent that such security interests can be fully perfected by the filing of financing statements.  Before and after the occurrence of any Event of Default, at Administrative Agent’s request, Grantor shall execute all such further financing statements, amendments and continuations, instruments and documents, and shall do all such further acts and things, as may be deemed necessary or desirable by Administrative Agent to create and perfect, and to continue and preserve, a security interest in the Collateral in favor of Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or the priority thereof, to the extent that such security interests can be fully perfected by the filing of financing statements.  With respect to any Collateral (x) consisting of securities accounts, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights, tangible chattel paper or certificates of title as to which Administrative Agent’s security interest need be perfected by, or the priority thereof need be assured by, possession and/or control of such Collateral, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and (y) with respect to any Collateral consisting of instruments, documents or otherwise (but excluding the Collateral referenced in the foregoing sub-clause (x) of this sentence) as to which Administrative Agent’s security interest need be perfected by, or the priority thereof need be assured by, possession and/or control of such Collateral, in the case of each of (x) and (y) Grantor will promptly upon written demand of Administrative Agent deliver possession of same (together with such undated instruments of endorsement, transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Administrative Agent may specify) in pledge to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and/or control of such Collateral, as requested by Administrative Agent, and Grantor will take all actions necessary to vest such possession or control in Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (including delivery of a duly executed control agreement with respect to such Collateral in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent).  With respect to any Collateral consisting of securities, instruments, partnership or joint venture interests or the like, Grantor hereby consents and agrees that the issuers of, or obligors on, any such Collateral, or any registrar or transfer agent or trustee for any such Collateral, shall be entitled to accept the provisions of this Agreement as conclusive evidence of the right of Administrative Agent to effect any transfer or exercise any right hereunder or with respect to any such Collateral, notwithstanding any other notice or direction to the contrary heretofore or hereafter given by Grantor or any other Person to such issuers or such obligors or to any such registrar or transfer agent or trustee.

 

3.                                    Security Agreement.

This

Agreement is a continuing and irrevocable agreement and all the rights, powers, privileges and remedies hereunder shall apply to any and all Secured Obligations, including those arising under successive transactions which shall either continue the Secured Obligations, increase or decrease them, or from time to time create new Secured Obligations after all or any prior Secured Obligations have been satisfied, and notwithstanding the bankruptcy of Grantor or any other Person or any other event or proceeding affecting any Person.

 

4.                                    Grantor’s Representations, Warranties and Agreements.  Except as otherwise disclosed to Administrative Agent in writing concurrently herewith, Grantor represents, warrants and agrees that: (a) Grantor will pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes, charges, Liens and assessments against the Collateral, except such as are expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement or are timely contested in good faith, and for which adequate reserves have been set aside in accordance with GAAP and upon its failure to pay or so contest such taxes, charges, Liens and assessments, Administrative Agent at its option may pay any of them, and Administrative Agent shall be the sole judge of the legality or validity thereof and the amount necessary to discharge the same; (b) the Collateral will not be knowingly used for any unlawful purpose or in material violation of any Law, regulation or ordinance, nor used in any way that will void or impair any insurance required to be carried in connection therewith; (c) Grantor will, to the extent consistent with good business practice, keep the Collateral in reasonably good repair, working order and condition, and from time to time make all needful and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and improvements thereto and, as appropriate and applicable, will otherwise deal with the Collateral in all such ways as are considered good practice by owners of like Property; (d) Grantor will take all steps to preserve and protect the Collateral; (e) Grantor will maintain, with responsible insurance companies, insurance covering the Collateral against such insurable losses as is required by the Credit Agreement and as is consistent with sound business practice, and will cause Administrative Agent to be designated as an additional insured and loss payee with respect to such insurance, will obtain the written agreement of the insurers that such insurance shall not be canceled, terminated or materially modified to the detriment of Administrative Agent without at least 30 days prior written notice to Administrative Agent, and will furnish copies of such insurance policies or certificates to Administrative Agent promptly upon request therefor; and (f) Grantor will promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing in the event of any substantial or material damage to the Collateral from any source whatsoever, and, except for the disposition of collections and other proceeds of the Collateral permitted by Section 6 hereof, Grantor will not remove or permit to be removed any part of the Collateral from its place of business without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, except for such items of the Collateral as are removed in the ordinary course of business or in connection with any transaction or disposition otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents.

 

Additionally, Grantor represents, warrants and agrees that (a) it shall not change its jurisdiction of organization, legal name, corporate structure, organizational identification number or taxpayer identification number, or location of chief executive office or sole place of business from that set forth in Schedule 5.13 of the Credit Agreement or in any perfection certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent without delivering written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent at least 10 business days prior to such change; (b) the security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement constitutes a valid and continuing perfected first priority security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of

the Secured Parties in all Collateral subject only to Liens permitted by Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement and (z) the occurrence of the following: (i) in the case of all Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code, the completion of the filings and other actions specified on the Perfection Certificate (which, in the case of all filings and other documents referred to therein, have been delivered to Administrative Agent in completed and duly authorized form) and (ii) in the case of all copyrights, trademarks and patents for which Uniform Commercial Code filings are insufficient, all appropriate filings having been made with the United States Copyright Office or the United States Patent and Trademark Office, as applicable; (c) Grantor has good and marketable title to the Collateral in which Grantor is purporting to grant a security interest to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties; and (d) as of the date that the representation set forth in Section 5.17(ii) of the Credit Agreement is made and, thereafter, as of the most recent date on which the Borrower was required pursuant to Section 6.01(j) of the Credit Agreement to supplement Schedule 5.17 of the Credit Agreement, Schedule 5.17 of the Credit Agreement (as so supplemented pursuant to Section 6.01(j) of the Credit Agreement) sets forth, a true and complete list of: (i) all IP Rights that are registered or subject to applications for registration and (ii) material internet domain names and including for each of the foregoing items, to the extent applicable to such item, (1) the owner, (2) the title, (3) the jurisdiction in which such item has been registered or otherwise arises or in which an application for registration has been filed, and (4) as applicable, the registration or application number and registration or application date.

 

5.                                    Administrative Agent’s Rights Re Collateral.  At any time (whether or not an Event of Default has occurred), at the expense of Grantor, Administrative Agent may, to the extent it may be necessary or desirable to protect the security hereunder, but Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to: (a) pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 6.10 of the Credit Agreement, enter upon any premises on which Collateral is situated upon reasonable notice and examine the same or (b) upon any Event of Default, without notice or demand, to perform any obligation of Grantor under this Agreement or any obligation of any other Person under the Loan Documents.  Grantor shall maintain books and records pertaining to the Collateral in such detail, form and scope as is consistent with Grantor’s past practices.  Grantor shall at any time at Administrative Agent’s request mark the Collateral and/or Grantor’s ledger cards, books of account and other records relating to the Collateral with appropriate notations satisfactory to Administrative Agent disclosing that they are subject to Administrative Agent’s security interests for the benefit of the Secured Parties.  The Administrative Agent shall at all times on reasonable notice have full access to and the right to audit any and all of Grantor’s books and records pertaining to the Collateral, and to confirm and verify the value of the Collateral and to do whatever else Administrative Agent reasonably may deem necessary or desirable to protect its interests; provided, however, that any such action which involves communicating with customers of Grantor shall be carried out by Administrative Agent through Grantor’s independent auditors unless Administrative Agent shall then have the right directly to notify obligors on the Collateral as provided in Section 9.  The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty or obligation whatsoever to take any action to preserve any rights of or against any prior or other parties in connection with the Collateral, to exercise any voting rights or managerial rights with respect to any Collateral, whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred, or to make or give any presentments, demands for performance, notices of non-performance, protests, notices of protests, notices of dishonor or notices of any other nature whatsoever in connection with the Collateral or the Secured 

 

-6-

 

Obligations.  The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty or obligation whatsoever to take any action to protect or preserve the Collateral or any rights of Grantor therein, or to make collections or enforce payment thereon, or to participate in any foreclosure or other proceeding in connection therewith.

 

6.                                    Collections on the Collateral.  Except as otherwise provided in any Loan Document, Grantor shall have the right to use, dispose of and to continue to make collections on and receive dividends and other proceeds of all of the Collateral in the ordinary course of business so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the option of Administrative Agent, except as prohibited by applicable Law, Grantor’s right to make collections on and receive dividends and other proceeds of the Collateral and to use or dispose of such collections and proceeds shall terminate, and any and all dividends, proceeds and collections, including all partial or total prepayments, then held or thereafter received on or on account of the Collateral will be held or received by Grantor in trust for Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and immediately delivered in kind to Administrative Agent.  Any remittance received by Grantor from any Person shall be presumed to relate to the Collateral and to be subject to Administrative Agent’s security interests for the benefit of the Secured Parties.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall have the right at all times to receive, receipt for, endorse, assign, deposit and deliver, in the name of Administrative Agent or in the name of Grantor, any and all checks, notes, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money constituting proceeds of or otherwise relating to the Collateral; and Grantor hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to affix, by facsimile signature or otherwise, the general or special endorsement of it, in such manner as Administrative Agent shall deem advisable, to any such instrument in the event the same has been delivered to or obtained by Administrative Agent without appropriate endorsement, and Administrative Agent and any collecting bank are hereby authorized to consider such endorsement to be a sufficient, valid and effective endorsement by Grantor, to the same extent as though it were manually executed by the duly authorized officer of Grantor, regardless of by whom or under what circumstances or by what authority such facsimile signature or other endorsement actually is affixed, without duty of inquiry or responsibility as to such matters, and Grantor hereby expressly waives demand, presentment, protest and notice of protest or dishonor and all other notices of every kind and nature with respect to any such instrument.

 

7.                                    Possession of Collateral by Administrative Agent.  All the Collateral now, heretofore or hereafter delivered to Administrative Agent shall be held by Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in its possession, custody and control.  Any or all of the cash Collateral delivered to Administrative Agent will be held in an interest bearing account until it is applied in accordance with the terms hereof.  Nothing herein shall obligate Administrative Agent to invest any Collateral or obtain any particular return thereon.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, whenever any of the Collateral is in Administrative Agent’s possession, custody or control, Administrative Agent may use, operate and consume the Collateral, whether for the purpose of preserving and/or protecting the Collateral, or for the purpose of performing any of Grantor’s obligations with respect thereto, or otherwise.  Administrative Agent may at any time deliver or redeliver the Collateral or any part thereof to Grantor, and the receipt of any of the same by Grantor shall be complete and full acquittance for the Collateral so delivered, and 

 

-7-

 

Administrative Agent thereafter shall be discharged from any liability or responsibility therefor.  So long as Administrative Agent exercises reasonable care with respect to any Collateral in its possession, custody or control, Administrative Agent shall have no liability for any loss of or damage to such Collateral, and in no event shall Administrative Agent have liability for any diminution in value of Collateral occasioned by economic or market conditions or events.  Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care within the meaning of the preceding sentence if the Collateral in the possession, custody or control of Administrative Agent is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Administrative Agent accords its own property, it being understood that Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not Administrative Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral.

 

8.                                    Events of Default.  There shall be an Event of Default hereunder upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.

 

9.                                    Rights Upon Event of Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall have, in any jurisdiction where enforcement hereof is sought, all rights and remedies that Administrative Agent may have under applicable Law or in equity, under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all rights set forth in Section 6 hereof) and under any other Loan Document (including without limitation all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in any jurisdiction), and, in addition, the following rights and remedies, all of which may be exercised with or without notice to Grantor and without affecting the Obligations of Grantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or the enforceability of the Liens and security interests created hereby:  (a) to foreclose the Liens and security interests created hereunder or under any other agreement relating to any Collateral by any available judicial procedure or without judicial process; (b) to enter any premises where any Collateral may be located for the purpose of securing, protecting, inventorying, appraising, inspecting, repairing, preserving, storing, preparing, processing, taking possession of or removing the same; (c) to sell, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or any part thereof, either at public or private sale or at any broker’s board, in lot or in bulk, for cash, on credit or otherwise, with or without representations or warranties and upon such terms as shall be acceptable to Administrative Agent; (d) to notify obligors on the Collateral that the Collateral has been assigned to Administrative Agent and that all payments thereon are to be made directly and exclusively to Administrative Agent; (e) to collect by legal proceedings or otherwise all dividends, distributions, interest, principal or other sums now or hereafter payable upon or on account of the Collateral; (f) to enter into any extension, reorganization, deposit, merger or consolidation agreement, or any other agreement relating to or affecting the Collateral, and in connection therewith Administrative Agent may deposit or surrender control of the Collateral and/or accept other Property in exchange for the Collateral; (g) to settle, compromise or release, on terms acceptable to Administrative Agent, in whole or in part, any amounts owing on the Collateral and/or any disputes with respect thereto; (h) to extend the time of payment, make allowances and adjustments and issue credits in connection with the Collateral in the name of Administrative Agent or in the name of Grantor; (i) to

enforce payment and prosecute any action or proceeding with respect to any or all of the Collateral and take or bring, in the name of Administrative Agent or in the name of Grantor, any and all steps, actions, suits or proceedings deemed by Administrative Agent necessary or desirable to effect collection of or to realize upon the Collateral, including any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure thereof or thereon, and Grantor specifically consents to any nonjudicial foreclosure of any or all of the Collateral or any other action taken by Administrative Agent which may release any obligor from personal liability on any of the Collateral, and Grantor waives any right not expressly provided for in this Agreement to receive notice of any public or private judicial or nonjudicial sale or foreclosure of any security or any of the Collateral; and any money or other property received by Administrative Agent in exchange for or on account of the Collateral, whether representing collections or proceeds of Collateral, and whether resulting from voluntary payments or foreclosure proceedings or other legal action taken by Administrative Agent or Grantor may be applied by Administrative Agent without notice to Grantor to the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall determine; (j) to insure, process and preserve the Collateral; (k) to exercise all rights, remedies, powers or privileges provided under any of the Loan Documents; (l) to remove, from any premises where the same may be located, the Collateral and any and all documents, instruments, files and records, and any receptacles and cabinets containing the same, relating to the Collateral, and Administrative Agent may, at the cost and expense of Grantor, use such of its supplies, equipment, facilities and space at its places of business as may be necessary or appropriate to properly administer, process, store, control, prepare for sale or disposition and/or sell or dispose of the Collateral or to properly administer and control the handling of collections and realizations thereon, and Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have a rent-free tenancy of any premises of Grantor for such purposes and for such periods of time as reasonably required by Administrative Agent; (m) to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Grantor and notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery thereof to such address as Administrative Agent may designate; provided that Administrative Agent agrees that it will promptly deliver over to Grantor such mail as does not relate to the Collateral; and (n) to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies of an owner of the Collateral; all at Administrative Agent’s sole option and as Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may deem advisable.  Grantor will, at Administrative Agent’s request, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Administrative Agent at places which Administrative Agent may designate, whether at the premises of Grantor or elsewhere, and will make available to Administrative Agent, free of cost, all premises, equipment and facilities of Grantor for the purpose of Administrative Agent’s taking possession of the Collateral or storing same or removing or putting the Collateral in salable form or selling or disposing of same.

 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent also shall have the right, without notice or demand, either in person, by agent or by a receiver to be appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Secured Obligations, to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof and to collect and receive the rents, issues, profits, income and proceeds thereof.  Taking possession of the Collateral shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or notice thereof or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.  The rights, remedies and powers of any receiver appointed by a court shall be as ordered by said court.

Any public or private sale or other disposition of the Collateral may be held at any office of Administrative Agent, or at Grantor’s place of business, or at any other place permitted by applicable Law, and without the necessity of the Collateral being within the view of prospective purchasers.  The Administrative Agent may direct the order and manner of sale of the Collateral, or portions thereof, as it in its sole and absolute discretion may determine, and Grantor expressly waives any right to direct the order and manner of sale of any Collateral.  Any Secured Party or any Person on Administrative Agent’s behalf may bid and purchase at any such sale or other disposition.  The net cash proceeds resulting from the collection, liquidation, sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied, first, to the expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale or lease, selling, leasing, collecting, liquidating and the like, and then to the satisfaction of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement.  Grantor and any other Person then obligated therefor shall pay to Administrative Agent on demand any deficiency with regard thereto which may remain after such sale, disposition, collection or liquidation of the Collateral.

 

With respect to any Collateral consisting of securities, partnership interests, limited liability company interests, joint venture interests, Investments or the like, and whether or not any of such Collateral has been effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or other applicable Laws, Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, sell all or any part of such Collateral at private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable in order that the sale may be lawfully conducted.  Without limiting the foregoing, Administrative Agent may (i) approach and negotiate with a limited number of potential purchasers, and (ii) restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing such Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  In the event that any such Collateral is sold at private sale, Grantor agrees that if such Collateral is sold for a price which Administrative Agent in good faith believes to be reasonable under the circumstances then existing, then (a) the sale shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable in all respects, (b) Grantor shall not be entitled to a credit against the Secured Obligations in an amount in excess of the purchase price, and (c) Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability or responsibility to Grantor in connection therewith, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized at a public sale.  Grantor recognizes that a ready market may not exist for such Collateral if it is not regularly traded on a recognized securities exchange, and that a sale by Administrative Agent of any such Collateral for an amount substantially less than a pro rata share of the fair market value of the issuer’s assets minus liabilities may be commercially reasonable in view of the difficulties that may be encountered in attempting to sell a large amount of such Collateral or Collateral that is privately traded.

 

Upon consummation of any sale of Collateral hereunder, Administrative Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold.  Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely free from any claim or right upon the part of Grantor or any other Person, and Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable Laws) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of Law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.  If the sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, Administrative Agent shall not be required to apply 

 

-10-

 

any portion of the sale price to the Secured Obligations until such amount actually is received by Administrative Agent, and any Collateral so sold may be retained by Administrative Agent until the sale price is paid in full by the purchaser or purchasers thereof.  Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to pay for the Collateral so sold, and, in case of any such failure, the Collateral may be sold again.

 

10.                            Attorney-in-Fact.  Grantor hereby irrevocably nominates and appoints Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as its attorney-in-fact for the following purposes:  (a) following Administrative Agent’s request thereof and Grantor’s failure to perform, to do all acts and things which Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to perfect and continue perfected the security interests created by this Agreement and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to preserve, process, develop, maintain and protect the Collateral; (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to do any and every act which Grantor is obligated to do under this Agreement, at the expense of the Grantor so obligated and without any obligation to do so; (c)  to prepare, file and/or record, for Grantor, in the name of the Grantor, any financing statement (which such financing statement may describe the collateral covered thereby as “all assets” or “all personal property” of the debtor or words of similar import), amendment or continuation, application for registration, or like paper, and to take any other action deemed by Administrative Agent necessary or desirable in order to perfect or maintain perfected the security interests granted hereby; (d)  to file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office (or any successor office or any similar office in any other country) such documents as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of perfecting, confirming or continuing the Security Interest granted by Grantor, without the signature of Grantor, and naming Grantor as debtor and the Administrative Agent as secured party; and (e) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to execute any and all papers and instruments and do all other things necessary or desirable to preserve and protect the Collateral and to protect Administrative Agent’s security interests therein; provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation whatsoever to take any of the foregoing actions, and, absent bad faith or actual malice, Administrative Agent shall have no liability or responsibility for any act taken or omission with respect thereto.

 

11.                            Costs and Expenses.  Without limiting any reimbursement obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and without duplication thereof, Grantor agrees to pay to each Secured Party all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by such Secured Party in the enforcement or attempted enforcement of this Agreement, whether or not an action is filed in connection therewith, and in connection with any waiver or amendment of any term or provision hereof.  All advances, charges, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by any Secured Party in exercising any right, privilege, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the right to perform any Secured Obligation of Grantor under the Loan Documents), or in the enforcement or attempted enforcement thereof, shall be secured hereby and shall become a part of the Secured Obligations and shall be paid to such Secured Party by Grantor, immediately upon demand, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate.

 

-11-

 

12.                            Statute of Limitations and Other Laws.  Until the Secured Obligations, other than contingent indemnification obligations, shall have been paid and performed in full, the power of sale and all other rights, privileges, powers and remedies granted to the Secured Parties hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised by the Secured Parties at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that any of the Secured Obligations may have become barred by any statute of limitations.  Grantor expressly waives the benefit of any and all statutes of limitation, and any and all Laws providing for exemption of property from execution or for valuation and appraisal upon foreclosure, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

 

13.                            Other Agreements.  Nothing herein shall in any way modify or limit the effect of terms or conditions set forth in any other security or other agreement executed by Grantor or in connection with the Secured Obligations, but each and every term and condition hereof shall be in addition thereto.  All provisions contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document that apply to Loan Documents generally are fully applicable to this Agreement and are incorporated herein by this reference.

 

14.                            Understandings With Respect to Waivers and Consents.  Grantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth herein are made after consultation with legal counsel and with full knowledge of their significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense or right waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which Grantor otherwise may have against any Secured Party or others, or against Collateral.  If any of the waivers or consents herein are determined to be contrary to any applicable Law or public policy, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

 

15.                            Release of Grantor.  This Agreement and all Secured Obligations of Grantor hereunder shall be released upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been made and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank of Hedge Bank shall have been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer shall have been made).

 

Additionally, Collateral that is released or is required to be released from the security interest created by this Agreement in order to permit Grantor to consummate any disposition of stock or assets, merger, consolidation, amalgamation, acquisition, transfer or dividend payment or distribution that Grantor are permitted to consummate pursuant to the Loan Documents, if any, shall be so released by Administrative Agent at such times and to the extent necessary or appropriate to permit Grantor to consummate such permitted transactions promptly following Administrative Agent’s receipt of written request therefor by Grantor specifying the purpose for which release is requested and such further certificates or other documents as Administrative Agent shall request in its reasonable discretion to confirm that Grantor are permitted to consummate such permitted transaction and to confirm its replacement Lien on appropriate collateral (unless replacement collateral is not required 

 

-12-

 

pursuant to the Loan Documents).  Any request for any permitted release shall be transmitted to Administrative Agent.

 

Upon such release of Grantor’s Secured Obligations hereunder or release of Collateral permitted hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall return any pledged Collateral to Grantors, or to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto, and shall endorse, execute, deliver, record and file all instruments and documents, and do all other acts and things, reasonably required for the return of the applicable Collateral to Grantors, or to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto, and to evidence or document the release of the Administrative Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ interests in such Collateral arising under this Agreement, all as reasonably requested by, and at the sole expense of, Grantors.

 

16.                            Continuing Effect.  This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable Law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.  In the event that any payment or any part thereof is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

 

17.                            Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that Grantor may not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void. By accepting the benefits of the Loan Documents, each Hedge Bank and Cash Management Bank agrees to be bound by all of the applicable provisions thereof.

 

18.                            Amendments in Writing.  None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each affected Grantor and the Administrative Agent, subject to any consents required under the Credit Agreement; provided that any provision of this Agreement imposing obligations on any Grantor may be waived by the Administrative Agent in a written instrument executed by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, no such waiver amendment, supplement or modification shall require the consent of any Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank except as may be expressly provided in the Credit Agreement.

 

19.                            Additional Powers and Authorization.   The Administrative Agent has been appointed as the Administrative Agent hereunder pursuant to the Credit Agreement and shall be entitled to the benefits of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may employ agents, trustees, or attorneys-in-fact and, subject to compliance with applicable 

 

-13-

 

Gaming Laws, may vest any of them with any property (including, without limitation, the Collateral), title, right or power deemed necessary for the purposes of such appointment.  It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties to this Agreement that any authority conferred upon the Administrative Agent hereunder is subject to the terms of the delegation of authority made by the Secured Parties to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and that the Administrative Agent has agreed to act (and any successor collateral agent shall act) as such hereunder only on the express conditions contained in the Credit Agreement. Any successor administrative agent appointed pursuant to the Credit Agreement shall be entitled to all the rights, interests and benefits of the Administrative Agent hereunder.

The Administrative Agent acknowledges that Missouri Gaming Laws do not presently permit Administrative Agent to take possession of or foreclose upon any slot machine (as defined by Title 11, Division 45, Section 10.055 of Missouri Code of State Regulations) located or to be located in the State of Missouri unless Administrative Agent holds a license issued by the Missouri Gaming Commission, or possibly via a different mechanism that the Missouri Gaming Commission would find in compliance with Missouri Gaming Laws (which mechanism could include, subject to the Missouri Gaming Commission’s approval, the sale, transfer or disposition of such slot machines through or to a party holding a Class A license or a supplier’s license issued by the Missouri Gaming Commission).

 

23.                            Amendment and Restatement of Existing Security Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Existing Security Agreement in its entirely and the Existing Security Agreement shall thereafter be and shall be deemed

 

-15-

 

replaced and superseded in all respect by this Agreement.  The execution of this Agreement shall not operate as a novation, waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or Secured Parties, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Existing Security Agreement.  Grantor (i) acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement does not constitute a novation or termination of the “Secured Obligations” under the Existing Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents as in effect prior to the effective date of the amendment and restatement of the Existing Security Agreement (the “Restatement Effective Date”) and which remain outstanding as of the Restatement Effective Date, (ii) acknowledges and agrees that the “Secured Obligations” under Existing Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents are in all respects continuing (as amended and restated hereby and which are in all respects hereinafter subject to the terms herein), (iii) ratifies and reaffirms all of its payments and performance obligations, contingent or otherwise, under each Loan Document, (iv) and ratifies and reaffirms each of the liens and security interests granted by it to Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent for the benefit of the secured parties named in (or referred to in) the Existing Security Agreement, in or pursuant to the Existing Security Agreement, and confirms and agrees that such liens and security interests are in all respects continuing and in full force and effect and shall continue to secure all of the Secured Obligations, including without limitation, all Obligations under the Credit Agreement and (v) agrees that this Agreement shall in no manner impair or otherwise adversely affect any of such liens and security interests.

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUBSIDIARIES SECURITY AGREEMENT

 

This SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUBSIDIARIES SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of August 27, 2013, is made by each of the Subsidiaries listed on the signature pages hereto and each other Person who may become a party hereto pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement (each a “Grantor” and collectively, “Grantors”), jointly and severally, in favor of Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity and together with its successors and assigns, the “Administrative Agent”), for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement hereafter referred to, with reference to the following facts:

 

RECITALS

 

A.                                Grantors have granted security interests to the Administrative Agent under a Subsidiaries Security Agreement, dated as of September 26, 2008, as amended and restated by an Amended and Restated Subsidiaries Security Agreement, dated as of May 13, 2011 (the “Existing Security Agreement”), and desire to amend and restate the Existing Security Agreement pursuant to this Agreement.

 

B.                                 Grantors have guaranteed the obligations of the Borrower arising under or in respect of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 19, 2013 among the Borrower, the Lenders referred to therein, and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent (as amended by the Amendment No. 1 to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August 27, and as it may from time to time be further amended, restated, extended, renewed, modified or supplemented, the “Credit Agreement”) and each Grantor has guaranteed the obligations of each other Grantor under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements.  This Agreement is the Subsidiaries Security Agreement referred to in the Credit Agreement and is one of the “Loan Documents” referred to in the Credit Agreement.

 

C.                                 Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders had made, and are making, certain credit facilities available to the Borrower.  Additionally, as contemplated by the Credit Agreement, from time to time, certain Secured Parties may enter into Secured Cash Management Agreements and/or Secured Hedge Agreements with the Borrower and/or the Grantors.

 

D.                                As a condition to the continued availability of such credit facilities, Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements, Grantors are required to enter into this Agreement to pledge certain Collateral (as hereinafter defined) to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as herein provided.

 

E.                                  Grantors expect to realize direct and indirect benefits as the result of the availability of (i) the aforementioned credit facilities to the Borrower and (ii) the aforementioned Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Cash Hedge Agreements, as the result of financial or business support which will be provided to Grantors by the Borrower and each other Grantor.

 

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce Lenders to extend and maintain the aforementioned credit facilities and the Secured Parties to extend and maintain the financial accommodations under the Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which hereby is acknowledged, Grantors hereby jointly and severally represent, warrant, covenant, agree, assign and grant, and the Existing Security Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, in each case as follows:

 

1.                                    Definitions.  Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings defined for those terms in the Credit Agreement.  Terms defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code (as amended from time to time) and not otherwise defined in this Agreement or in the Credit Agreement shall have the meanings defined for those terms in the Uniform Commercial Code, as enacted in the State of New York.  In addition, as used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings respectively set forth after each:

 

“Agreement” means this Second Amended and Restated Subsidiaries Security Agreement, and any extensions, modifications, renewals, restatements, supplements or amendments hereof.

 

“Collateral” means and includes all present and future right, title and interest of Grantors, or any of them, in or to any personal property whatsoever, and all rights and powers of Grantors, or any of them, to transfer any interest in or to any personal property whatsoever, including, without limitation, any and all of the following personal property:

 

(a)                               All present and future accounts, accounts receivable, payment intangibles, agreements, contracts, leases, contract rights, rights to payment, instruments, promissory notes, documents, chattel paper, security agreements, guaranties, undertakings, surety bonds, health-care-insurance receivables, insurance policies, notes and drafts, and all forms of obligations owing to Grantors, or any of them, or in which Grantors, or any of them, may have any interest, however created or arising;

deliver possession of same (together with such undated instruments of endorsement, transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Administrative Agent may specify) in pledge to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and/or control of such Collateral, as requested by the Administrative Agent, and Grantor will take all actions necessary to vest such possession or control in the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (including delivery of a duly executed control agreement with respect to such Collateral in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent).  With respect to any Collateral consisting of securities, instruments, partnership or joint venture interests or the like, Grantors hereby jointly and severally consent and agree that the issuers of, or obligors on, any such Collateral, or any registrar or transfer agent or trustee for any such Collateral, shall be entitled to accept the provisions of this Agreement as conclusive evidence of the right of the Administrative Agent to effect any transfer or exercise any right hereunder or with respect to any such Collateral, notwithstanding any other notice or direction to the contrary heretofore or hereafter given by Grantors, or any of them, or any other Person to such issuers or such obligors or to any such registrar or transfer agent or trustee.

 

3.                                    Security Agreement.  For valuable consideration, Grantors hereby jointly and severally assign and pledge to the Administrative Agent (for and on behalf of the Secured Parties), and grant to the Administrative Agent (for and on behalf of the Secured Parties), a security interest in, all presently existing and hereafter acquired Collateral, as security for the timely payment and performance in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations, and each of them; provided, that such grant shall in no event include any of the Excluded Collateral.  This Agreement is a continuing and irrevocable agreement and all the rights, powers, privileges and remedies hereunder shall apply to any and all Secured Obligations, including those arising under successive transactions which shall either continue the Secured Obligations, increase or decrease them, or from time to time create new Secured Obligations after all or any prior Secured Obligations have been satisfied, and notwithstanding the bankruptcy of any Grantor or any other Person or any other event or proceeding affecting any Person.

 

4.                                    Grantors’ Representations, Warranties and Agreements.  Except as otherwise disclosed to Administrative Agent in writing concurrently herewith, Grantors jointly and severally represent, warrant and agree that: (a) Grantors will pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes, charges, Liens and assessments against the Collateral, except such as are expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement or are timely contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been set aside in accordance with GAAP, and upon its failure to pay or so contest such taxes, charges, Liens and assessments, the Administrative Agent at its option may pay any of them, and the Administrative Agent shall be the sole judge of the legality or validity thereof and the amount necessary to discharge the same; (b) the Collateral will not be knowingly used for any unlawful purpose or in material violation of any Law, regulation or ordinance, nor used in any way that will void or impair any insurance required to be carried in connection therewith; (c) Grantors will, to the extent consistent with good business practice, keep the Collateral in reasonably good repair, working order and condition, and from time to time make all needful and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and improvements thereto and, as appropriate and applicable, will otherwise deal with the Collateral in all such ways as are considered good practice by owners of like Property; (d) Grantors will take all steps to preserve and protect the Collateral; (e) Grantors will

 

-5-

 

maintain, with responsible insurance companies, insurance covering the Collateral against such insurable losses as is required by the Credit Agreement and as is consistent with sound business practice, and will cause the Administrative Agent to be designated as an additional insured and loss payee with respect to such insurance, will obtain the written agreement of the insurers that such insurance shall not be canceled, terminated or materially modified to the detriment of the Administrative Agent without at least 30 days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, and will furnish copies of such insurance policies or certificates to the Administrative Agent promptly upon request therefor; and (f) Grantors will promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing in the event of any substantial or material damage to the Collateral from any source whatsoever, and, except for the disposition of collections and other proceeds of the Collateral permitted by Section 6 hereof, Grantors will not remove or permit to be removed any part of the Collateral from its place of business without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, except for such items of the Collateral as are removed in the ordinary course of business or in connection with any transaction or disposition otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents.

 

Additionally, each Grantor represents, warrants and agrees that (a) it shall not change its jurisdiction of organization, legal name, corporate structure, organizational identification number or taxpayer identification number, or location of chief executive office or sole place of business from that set forth in Schedule 5.13 of the Credit Agreement or in any perfection certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent without delivering written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent at least 10 business days prior to such change; (b) the security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement constitutes a valid and continuing perfected first priority security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in all Collateral subject only to Liens permitted by Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement and (z) the occurrence of the following: (i) in the case of all Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code, the completion of the filings and other actions specified on the Perfection Certificate (which, in the case of all filings and other documents referred to therein, have been delivered to Administrative Agent in completed and duly authorized form) and (ii) in the case of all copyrights, trademarks and patents for which Uniform Commercial Code filings are insufficient, all appropriate filings having been made with the United States Copyright Office or the United States Patent and Trademark Office, as applicable; (c) such Grantor has good and marketable title to the Collateral in which such Grantor is purporting to grant a security interest to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties; and (d) as of the date that the representation set forth in Section 5.17(ii) of the Credit Agreement is made and, thereafter, as of the most recent date on which the Borrower was required pursuant to Section 6.01(j) of the Credit Agreement to supplement Schedule 5.17 of the Credit Agreement, Schedule 5.17 of the Credit Agreement (as so supplemented pursuant to Section 6.01(j) of the Credit Agreement) sets forth, a true and complete list of: (i) all IP Rights that are registered or subject to applications for registration and (ii) material internet domain names and including for each of the foregoing items, to the extent applicable to such item, (1) the owner, (2) the title, (3) the jurisdiction in which such item has been registered or otherwise arises or in which an application for registration has been filed, and (4) as applicable, the registration or application number and registration or application date.

 

5.                                    Administrative Agent’s Rights Re Collateral.  At any time (whether or not an Event of Default has occurred), at the expense of Grantors, the Administrative Agent

 

-6-

 

may, to the extent it may be necessary or desirable to protect the security hereunder, but the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to: (a) pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 6.10 of the Credit Agreement, enter upon any premises on which Collateral is situated upon reasonable notice and examine the same or (b) without notice or demand, upon any Event of Default, to perform any obligation of Grantors under this Agreement or any obligation of any other Person under the Loan Documents.  Grantors shall maintain books and records pertaining to the Collateral in such detail, form and scope as is consistent with Grantors’ past practices.  Grantors shall at any time at the Administrative Agent’s request mark the Collateral and/or Grantors’ ledger cards, books of account and other records relating to the Collateral with appropriate notations satisfactory to the Administrative Agent disclosing that they are subject to the Administrative Agent’s security interests for the benefit of the Secured Parties.  The Administrative Agent shall at all times on reasonable notice have full access to and the right to audit any and all of Grantors’ books and records pertaining to the Collateral, and to confirm and verify the value of the Collateral and to do whatever else the Administrative Agent reasonably may deem necessary or desirable to protect its interests; provided, however, that any such action which involves communicating with customers of Grantors shall be carried out by the Administrative Agent through Grantors’ independent auditors unless the Administrative Agent shall then have the right directly to notify obligors on the Collateral as provided in Section 9.  The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty or obligation whatsoever to take any action to preserve any rights of or against any prior or other parties in connection with the Collateral, to exercise any voting rights or managerial rights with respect to any Collateral, whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred, or to make or give any presentments, demands for performance, notices of non-performance, protests, notices of protests, notices of dishonor or notices of any other nature whatsoever in connection with the Collateral or the Secured Obligations.  The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty or obligation whatsoever to take any action to protect or preserve the Collateral or any rights of Grantors therein, or to make collections or enforce payment thereon, or to participate in any foreclosure or other proceeding in connection therewith.

 

6.                                    Collections on the Collateral.  Except as otherwise provided in any Loan Document, Grantors shall have the right to use, dispose of and to continue to make collections on and receive dividends and other proceeds of all of the Collateral in the ordinary course of business so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the option of the Administrative Agent, except as prohibited by applicable Law, Grantors’ right to make collections on and receive dividends and other proceeds of the Collateral and to use or dispose of such collections and proceeds shall terminate, and any and all dividends, proceeds and collections, including all partial or total prepayments, then held or thereafter received on or on account of the Collateral will be held or received by Grantors in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and immediately delivered in kind to the Administrative Agent.  Any remittance received by Grantors from any Person shall be presumed to relate to the Collateral and to be subject to the Administrative Agent’s security interests for the benefit of the Secured Parties.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at all times to receive, receipt for, endorse, assign, deposit and deliver, in the name of the Administrative Agent or in the name of Grantors, any and all checks, notes, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money constituting proceeds of or otherwise relating to the Collateral; and Grantors each hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to affix, by facsimile signature or otherwise, the general

 

-7-

 

or special endorsement of it, in such manner as the Administrative Agent shall deem advisable, to any such instrument in the event the same has been delivered to or obtained by the Administrative Agent without appropriate endorsement, and the Administrative Agent and any collecting bank are hereby authorized to consider such endorsement to be a sufficient, valid and effective endorsement by Grantors, and each of them, to the same extent as though it were manually executed by the duly authorized officer of each Grantor, regardless of by whom or under what circumstances or by what authority such facsimile signature or other endorsement actually is affixed, without duty of inquiry or responsibility as to such matters, and each Grantor hereby expressly waives demand, presentment, protest and notice of protest or dishonor and all other notices of every kind and nature with respect to any such instrument.

 

7.                                    Possession of Collateral by Administrative Agent.  All the Collateral now, heretofore or hereafter delivered to the Administrative Agent shall be held by the Administrative Agent in its possession, custody and control for the benefit of the Secured Parties.  Any or all of the cash Collateral delivered to the Administrative Agent will be held in an interest bearing account until it is applied in accordance with the terms hereof.  Nothing herein shall obligate the Administrative Agent to invest any Collateral or obtain any particular return thereon.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, whenever any of the Collateral is in the Administrative Agent’s possession, custody or control, the Administrative Agent may use, operate and consume the Collateral, whether for the purpose of preserving and/or protecting the Collateral, or for the purpose of performing any of Grantors’ obligations with respect thereto, or otherwise.  The Administrative Agent may at any time deliver or redeliver the Collateral or any part thereof to Grantors, and the receipt of any of the same by Grantors shall be complete and full acquittance for the Collateral so delivered, and the Administrative Agent thereafter shall be discharged from any liability or responsibility therefor.  So long as the Administrative Agent exercises reasonable care with respect to any Collateral in its possession, custody or control, the Administrative Agent shall have no liability for any loss of or damage to such Collateral, and in no event shall the Administrative Agent have liability for any diminution in value of Collateral occasioned by economic or market conditions or events.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care within the meaning of the preceding sentence if the Collateral in the possession, custody or control of the Administrative Agent is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not the Administrative Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral.

 

8.                                    Events of Default.  There shall be an Event of Default hereunder upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.

 

9.                                    Rights Upon Event of Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have, in any jurisdiction where enforcement hereof is sought, all rights and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under applicable Law or in equity, under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all rights set forth in Section 6 hereof) and under any other Loan Document

 

-8-

 

(including, without limitation, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in any jurisdiction), and, in addition, the following rights and remedies, all of which may be exercised with or without notice to Grantors and without affecting the Obligations of Grantors hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or the enforceability of the Liens and security interests created hereby:  (a) to foreclose the Liens and security interests created hereunder or under any other agreement relating to any Collateral by any available judicial procedure or without judicial process; (b) to enter any premises where any Collateral may be located for the purpose of securing, protecting, inventorying, appraising, inspecting, repairing, preserving, storing, preparing, processing, taking possession of or removing the same; (c) to sell, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or any part thereof, either at public or private sale or at any broker’s board, in lot or in bulk, for cash, on credit or otherwise, with or without representations or warranties and upon such terms as shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent; (d) to notify obligors on the Collateral that the Collateral has been assigned to the Administrative Agent and that all payments thereon are to be made directly and exclusively to the Administrative Agent; (e) to collect by legal proceedings or otherwise all dividends, distributions, interest, principal or other sums now or hereafter payable upon or on account of the Collateral; (f) to enter into any extension, reorganization, deposit, merger or consolidation agreement, or any other agreement relating to or affecting the Collateral, and in connection therewith the Administrative Agent may deposit or surrender control of the Collateral and/or accept other Property in exchange for the Collateral; (g) to settle, compromise or release, on terms acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in whole or in part, any amounts owing on the Collateral and/or any disputes with respect thereto; (h) to extend the time of payment, make allowances and adjustments and issue credits in connection with the Collateral in the name of the Administrative Agent or in the name of Grantors; (i) to enforce payment and prosecute any action or proceeding with respect to any or all of the Collateral and take or bring, in the name of the Administrative Agent or in the name of Grantors, any and all steps, actions, suits or proceedings deemed by the Administrative Agent necessary or desirable to effect collection of or to realize upon the Collateral, including any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure thereof or thereon, and each Grantor specifically consents to any nonjudicial foreclosure of any or all of the Collateral or any other action taken by the Administrative Agent which may release any obligor from personal liability on any of the Collateral, and each Grantor waives any right not expressly provided for in this Agreement to receive notice of any public or private judicial or nonjudicial sale or foreclosure of any security or any of the Collateral; and any money or other property received by the Administrative Agent in exchange for or on account of the Collateral, whether representing collections or proceeds of Collateral, and whether resulting from voluntary payments or foreclosure proceedings or other legal action taken by the Administrative Agent or Grantors may be applied by the Administrative Agent without notice to Grantors, to the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion shall determine; (j) to insure, process and preserve the Collateral; (k) to exercise all rights, remedies, powers or privileges provided under any of the Loan Documents; (l) to remove, from any premises where the same may be located, the Collateral and any and all documents, instruments, files and records, and any receptacles and cabinets containing the same, relating to the Collateral, and the Administrative Agent may, at the cost and expense of Grantors, use such of its supplies, equipment, facilities and space at its places of business as may be necessary or appropriate to properly administer, process, store, control, prepare for sale or disposition and/or sell or dispose of the Collateral or to properly administer and control the handling of collections and realizations thereon, and the Administrative Agent

 

-9-

 

shall be deemed to have a rent-free tenancy of any premises of Grantors for such purposes and for such periods of time as reasonably required by the Administrative Agent; (m) to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Grantors, or any of them, and notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery thereof to such address as the Administrative Agent may designate; provided that the Administrative Agent agrees that it will promptly deliver over to Grantors such mail as does not relate to the Collateral; and (n) to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies of an owner of the Collateral; all at the Administrative Agent’s sole option and as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may deem advisable.  Grantors will, at the Administrative Agent’s request, assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent may designate, whether at the premises of Grantors or elsewhere, and will make available to the Administrative Agent, free of cost, all premises, equipment and facilities of Grantors for the purpose of the Administrative Agent taking possession of the Collateral or storing same or removing or putting the Collateral in salable form or selling or disposing of same.

 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent also shall have the right, without notice or demand, either in person, by agent or by a receiver to be appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Secured Obligations, to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof and to collect and receive the rents, issues, profits, income and proceeds thereof.  Taking possession of the Collateral shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or notice thereof or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.  The rights, remedies and powers of any receiver appointed by a court shall be as ordered by said court.

 

Any public or private sale or other disposition of the Collateral may be held at any office of the Administrative Agent, or at any Grantor’s place of business, or at any other place permitted by applicable Law, and without the necessity of the Collateral being within the view of prospective purchasers.  The Administrative Agent may direct the order and manner of sale of the Collateral, or portions thereof, as it in its sole and absolute discretion may determine, and Grantors, expressly waive any right to direct the order and manner of sale of any Collateral.  Any Secured Party or any Person on any Secured Party’s behalf may bid and purchase at any such sale or other disposition.  The net cash proceeds resulting from the collection, liquidation, sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied, first, to the expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale or lease, selling, leasing, collecting, liquidating and the like, and then to the satisfaction of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement.  Grantors and any other Person then obligated therefor shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand any deficiency with regard thereto which may remain after such sale, disposition, collection or liquidation of the Collateral.

 

With respect to any Collateral consisting of securities, partnership interests, limited liability company interests, joint venture interests, Investments or the like, and whether or not any of such Collateral has been effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or other applicable Laws, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, sell all or any part of such Collateral at private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable in order that the sale may be lawfully conducted.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may (i) approach and negotiate with a limited number of potential purchasers, and (ii) restrict

 

-10-

 

the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing such Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  In the event that any such Collateral is sold at private sale, each Grantor agrees that if such Collateral is sold for a price which the Administrative Agent in good faith believes to be reasonable under the circumstances then existing, then (a) the sale shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable in all respects, (b) no Grantor shall be entitled to a credit against the Secured Obligations in an amount in excess of the purchase price, and (c) the Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability or responsibility to any Grantor in connection therewith, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized at a public sale.  Each Grantor recognizes that a ready market may not exist for such Collateral if it is not regularly traded on a recognized securities exchange, and that a sale by the Administrative Agent of any such Collateral for an amount substantially less than a pro rata share of the fair market value of the issuer’s assets minus liabilities may be commercially reasonable in view of the difficulties that may be encountered in attempting to sell a large amount of such Collateral or Collateral that is privately traded.

 

Upon consummation of any sale of Collateral hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold.  Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely free from any claim or right upon the part of any Grantor or any other Person, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable Laws) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of Law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.  If the sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to apply any portion of the sale price to the Secured Obligations until such amount actually is received by the Administrative Agent, and any Collateral so sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent until the sale price is paid in full by the purchaser or purchasers thereof.  The Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to pay for the Collateral so sold, and, in case of any such failure, the Collateral may be sold again.

 

10.                            Joinder.  Any other Person may become a Grantor hereunder and become bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement by executing and delivering to Administrative Agent an Instrument of Joinder substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, accompanied by such documentation as Administrative Agent may require to establish the due organization, valid existence and good standing of such Person, its qualification to engage in business in each material jurisdiction in which it is required to be so qualified, its authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, and the identity, authority and capacity of each Responsible Officer thereof authorized to act on its behalf.

 

11.                            Attorney-in-Fact.  Each Grantor hereby irrevocably nominates and appoints the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as its attorney-in-fact for the following purposes:  (a) following the Administrative Agent’s request thereof and Grantors’ failure to perform, to do all acts and things which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to perfect and continue perfected the security interests created by this Agreement and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to preserve, process, develop, maintain and protect the Collateral; (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to do any and every act which such Grantor is

 

-11-

 

obligated to do under this Agreement, at the expense of the Grantors, so obligated and without any obligation to do so; (c) to prepare, file and/or record, for such Grantor, in the name of the Grantor, any financing statement (which such financing statement may describe the collateral covered thereby as “all assets” or “all personal property” of the debtor or words of similar import), amendment or continuation, application for registration, or like paper, and to take any other action deemed by the Administrative Agent necessary or desirable in order to perfect or maintain perfected the security interests granted hereby; (d) to file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office (or any successor office or any similar office in any other country) such documents as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of perfecting, confirming or continuing the Security Interest granted by each Grantor, without the signature of any Grantor, and naming any Grantor or the Grantors as debtors and the Administrative Agent as secured party; and (e) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to execute any and all papers and instruments and do all other things necessary or desirable to preserve and protect the Collateral and to protect the Administrative Agent’s security interests therein; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation whatsoever to take any of the foregoing actions, and, absent bad faith or actual malice, the Administrative Agent shall have no liability or responsibility for any act taken or omission with respect thereto.

 

12.                            Costs and Expenses.  Without limiting any reimbursement obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and without duplication thereof, each Grantor agrees to pay to each Secured Party all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by such Secured Party in the enforcement or attempted enforcement of this Agreement, whether or not an action is filed in connection therewith, and in connection with any waiver or amendment of any term or provision hereof.  All advances, charges, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by any Secured Party in exercising any right, privilege, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the right to perform any Secured Obligation of such Grantor under the Loan Documents), or in the enforcement or attempted enforcement thereof, shall be secured hereby and shall become a part of the Secured Obligations and shall be paid to such Secured Party by such Grantor, immediately upon demand, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate.

 

13.                            Statute of Limitations and Other Laws.  Until the Secured Obligations, other than contingent indemnification obligations, shall have been paid and performed in full, the power of sale and all other rights, privileges, powers and remedies granted to the Secured Parties hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised by the Secured Parties at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that any of the Secured Obligations may have become barred by any statute of limitations.  Each Grantor expressly waives the benefit of any and all statutes of limitation, and any and all Laws providing for exemption of property from execution or for valuation and appraisal upon foreclosure, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

 

14.                            Other Agreements.  Nothing herein shall in any way modify or limit the effect of terms or conditions set forth in any other security or other agreement executed by Grantors, or any of them, or in connection with the Secured Obligations, but each and every term and condition hereof shall be in addition thereto.  All provisions contained in the Credit

 

-12-

 

Agreement or any other Loan Document that apply to Loan Documents generally are fully applicable to this Agreement and are incorporated herein by this reference.

 

15.                            Understandings With Respect to Waivers and Consents.  Each Grantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth herein are made after consultation with legal counsel and with full knowledge of their significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense or right waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which such Grantor otherwise may have against any Secured Party or others, or against Collateral.  If any of the waivers or consents herein are determined to be contrary to any applicable Law or public policy, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

 

16.                            Release of Grantors.  This Agreement and all Secured Obligations of Grantors hereunder shall be released upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been made and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank of Hedge Bank shall have been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer shall have been made).

 

Additionally, Collateral that is released or is required to be released from the security interest created by this Agreement in order to permit Grantors to consummate any disposition of stock or assets, merger, consolidation, amalgamation, acquisition, transfer or dividend payment or distribution that Grantors are permitted to consummate pursuant to the Loan Documents, if any, shall be so released by Administrative Agent at such times and to the extent necessary or appropriate to permit Grantors to consummate such permitted transactions promptly following Administrative Agent’s receipt of written request therefor by Grantors specifying the purpose for which release is requested and such further certificates or other documents as Administrative Agent shall request in its reasonable discretion to confirm that Grantors are permitted to consummate such permitted transaction and to confirm its replacement Lien on appropriate collateral (unless replacement collateral is not required pursuant to the Loan Documents).  Any request for any permitted release shall be transmitted to Administrative Agent.

 

Upon such release of Grantors’ Secured Obligations hereunder, or release of Collateral permitted hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall return any pledged Collateral to Grantors, or to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto, and shall endorse, execute, deliver, record and file all instruments and documents, and do all other acts and things, reasonably required for the return of the applicable Collateral to Grantors, or to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto, and to evidence or document the release of the Administrative Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ interests in such Collateral arising under this Agreement, all as reasonably requested by, and at the sole expense of, Grantors.

 

17.                            Continuing Effect.  This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Grantors for liquidation or reorganization, should Grantors become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of

 

-13-

 

creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of Grantors’ assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable Law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.  In the event that any payment or any part thereof is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

 

18.                            Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void. By accepting the benefits of the Loan Documents, each Hedge Bank and Cash Management Bank agrees to be bound by all of the applicable provisions thereof.

 

19.                            Amendments in Writing.  None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each affected Grantor and the Administrative Agent, subject to any consents required under the Credit Agreement; provided that any provision of this Agreement imposing obligations on any Grantor may be waived by the Administrative Agent in a written instrument executed by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, no such waiver amendment, supplement or modification shall require the consent of any Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank except as may be expressly provided in the Credit Agreement.

 

20.                            Additional Powers and Authorization.  The Administrative Agent has been appointed as the Administrative Agent hereunder pursuant to the Credit Agreement and shall be entitled to the benefits of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may employ agents, trustees, or attorneys-in-fact and, subject to compliance with applicable Gaming Laws, may vest any of them with any property (including, without limitation, the Collateral), title, right or power deemed necessary for the purposes of such appointment.  It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties to this Agreement that any authority conferred upon the Administrative Agent hereunder is subject to the terms of the delegation of authority made by the Secured Parties to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and that the Administrative Agent has agreed to act (and any successor collateral agent shall act) as such hereunder only on the express conditions contained in the Credit Agreement. Any successor administrative agent appointed pursuant to the Credit Agreement shall be entitled to all the rights, interests and benefits of the Administrative Agent hereunder.

24.                            Amendment and Restatement of Existing Security Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Existing Security Agreement in its entirely and the Existing Security Agreement shall thereafter be and shall be deemed replaced and superseded in all respect by this Agreement.

RECITALS

 

A.                                Guarantors are parties to a Guaranty, dated as of September 26, 2008, as amended by an Amended and Restated Subsidiary Guaranty, dated as of May 13, 2011, and further amended by a Second Amended and Restated Guaranty, dated as of April 19, 2013 (the “Existing Guaranty”), pursuant to which the Guarantors (other than the Borrower) guaranteed the obligations of Bally Technologies, Inc. ( “Borrower”) under that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 19, 2013 (as amended prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), among Borrower, the lenders party thereto and the Administrative Agent and each Guarantor guaranteed the obligations of each other Guarantor under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements.

 

B.                                 Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent have agreed to amend the Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to that certain Amendment No. 1 to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the Existing Credit Agreement as amended thereby and as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), and the Lenders have agreed to provide and maintain certain credit facilities to Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement. Additionally, as contemplated by the Credit Agreement, from time to time, certain Secured Parties may enter into Secured Cash Management Agreements and/or Secured Hedge Agreements with the Guarantors .

 

C.                                 As a condition to the continued availability of such credit facilities, Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements, Guarantors are required to enter into this Guaranty and to guaranty the Guarantied Obligations as hereinafter provided.

 

D.                                Guarantors expect to realize direct and indirect benefits as the result of the availability of (i) the aforementioned credit facilities to Borrower and (ii) the aforementioned Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements, as the result of financial or business support which will be provided to Guarantors by Borrower and each other Guarantor.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce the Lenders to extend and maintain the aforementioned credit facilities and the Secured Parties to maintain the financial 

 

 

accommodations under the Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which hereby are acknowledged, Guarantors hereby represent, warrant, covenant, agree and guaranty, and the Existing Guaranty is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, in each case as follows:

 

1.                                    Definitions.  This Guaranty is the Guaranty referred to in the Credit Agreement and is one of the Loan Documents.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guarantied Obligations and would be owed by any Loan Party to any Secured Party under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving any Loan Party.

 

“Guarantors” means (a) the Subsidiaries of Borrower that are parties hereto as indicated on the signature pages hereof, or that become parties hereto as provided in Section 15 hereof, and (b) with respect to Obligations owing by any Loan Party (other than the Borrower) under any Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Hedge Agreement, the Borrower.

2.                                    Guaranty of Guarantied Obligations.  Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty and promise to pay and perform the Guarantied Obligations and each and every one of them when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration or otherwise, including all amendments, modifications, supplements, renewals, increases or extensions of any of them, whether such amendments, modifications, supplements, renewals, increases or extensions are evidenced by new or additional instruments, documents or agreements or change the rate of interest on, or increase the principal amount of, any Guarantied Obligation or the security therefor, or otherwise.  Any term or provision of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the aggregate maximum amount of the Guarantied Obligations for which each Guarantor shall be liable shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such Guarantor can be liable without rendering this Guaranty or any other Loan Document as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer.

 

3.                                    Nature of Guaranty.  This Guaranty is irrevocable and continuing in nature and relates to any Guarantied Obligations now existing or hereafter arising, subject to Section 16 hereof.  This Guaranty is a guaranty of prompt and punctual payment and performance and is not merely a guaranty of collection. Each Guarantor waives notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance of this Guaranty, notices of default under the Loan Documents, the Secured Hedge Agreements, the Secured Cash Management Agreements or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to the Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7 and any right to consent to any thereof.

 

4.                                    Relationship to Other Agreements.  Nothing herein shall in any way modify or limit the effect of terms or conditions set forth in any other document, instrument or agreement executed by any Guarantor or in connection with the Guarantied Obligations, but each and every term and condition hereof shall be in addition thereto.  All provisions contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document that apply to Loan Documents generally are fully applicable to this Guaranty and are incorporated herein by this reference.

 

5.                                    Subordination of Indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantors to the Guarantied Obligations.  Each Guarantor agrees that:

 

(a)                               Any indebtedness of any other Loan Party now or hereafter owed to any Guarantor hereby is subordinated to the Guarantied Obligations.

 

(b)                              If the Secured Parties so request, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any such indebtedness of any Loan Party now or hereafter owed to any Guarantor shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Secured Parties and shall be paid over to the Secured Parties in kind on account of the Guarantied Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the obligations of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

6.                                    Statutes of Limitations and Other Laws.  Until the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the payment and performance in full of all Guarantied Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank of Hedge Bank shall have been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer shall have been made), all the rights, privileges, powers and remedies granted to the Secured Parties hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised by the Secured Parties at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that any of the Guarantied Obligations may have become barred by any statute of limitations.  Each Guarantor expressly waives the benefit of any and all statutes of limitation, and any and all Laws providing for exemption of property from execution or for evaluation and appraisal upon foreclosure, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Laws.

 

7.                                    Waivers and Consents.  Each Guarantor acknowledges that this Guaranty may support obligations of Persons other than such Guarantor and, in full recognition of that fact, each Guarantor consents and agrees that the Secured Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or security hereof:

 

(a)          supplement, modify, amend, extend, renew, increase or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof, including any increase or decrease of the rate(s) of interest thereon or the principal amount(s) thereof;

 

(b)         supplement, modify, amend or waive, or enter into or give any agreement, approval or consent with respect to, the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof or any of the Loan Documents or any additional security or guaranties, or any condition, covenant, default, remedy, right, representation or term thereof or thereunder;

 

(c)          accept new or additional instruments, documents or agreements in exchange for or relative to any of the Loan Documents or the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof;

 

(d)          accept partial payments on the Guarantied Obligations;

 

(e)          receive and hold additional security or guaranties for the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof;

 

(f)           release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer and enforce any security or guaranties, and apply any security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Secured Parties in the exercise of their commercial discretion may determine;

 

(g)          release any Person or any guarantor from any personal liability with respect to the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof;

 

4

 

(h)                              settle, release on terms satisfactory to the Secured Parties or by operation of applicable laws or otherwise liquidate or enforce any Guarantied Obligations and any security or guaranty therefor in any manner, consent to the transfer of any security and bid and purchase at any sale; and

 

(i)                                  consent to the merger, change or any other restructuring or termination of the corporate existence of Borrower or any other Person, and correspondingly restructure the Guarantied Obligations, and any such merger, change, restructuring or termination shall not affect the liability of any Guarantor or the continuing existence of any Liens hereunder, under any other Loan Document to which any Guarantor is a party or the enforceability hereof or thereof with respect to all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations.

 

Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Secured Parties may enforce this Guaranty independently as to each Guarantor and independently of any other remedy or security the Secured Parties at any time may have or hold in connection with the Guarantied Obligations, and it shall not be necessary for the Secured Parties to marshal assets in favor of any Guarantor, Borrower or any other Person or to proceed upon or against and/or exhaust any other security or remedy before proceeding to enforce this Guaranty.  Each Guarantor expressly waives any right to require the Secured Parties to marshal assets in favor of such Guarantor, Borrower or any other Person or to proceed against any other Person or any collateral provided by any other Person, and agrees that the Secured Parties may proceed against any Person and/or collateral in such order as they shall determine in their sole and absolute discretion.  The Secured Parties may file a separate action or actions against any Guarantor, whether action is brought or prosecuted with respect to any other security or against any other Guarantor, Borrower or any other Person, or whether any other Person is joined in any such action or actions.  Each Guarantor agrees that the Secured Parties, Borrower and any other Person may deal with each other in connection with the Guarantied Obligations or otherwise, or alter any contracts or agreements now or hereafter existing between any of them, in any manner whatsoever, all without in any way altering or affecting this Guaranty.  The Secured Parties’ rights hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and the enforceability of this Guaranty shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of the Guarantied Obligations which thereafter shall be required to be restored or returned by the Secured Parties upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person, or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid.  The enforceability of this Guaranty at all times shall remain effective to guarantee payment and performance of the full amount of all the Guarantied Obligations including, without limitation, the amount of all loans and interest thereon at the rates provided for in the Credit Agreement, even though the Guarantied Obligations, including any part thereof or any other security or guaranty therefor, may be or hereafter may become invalid or otherwise unenforceable as against Borrower or any other Person and whether or not Borrower or any other Person shall have any personal liability with respect thereto.

 

Each Guarantor expressly waives any and all defenses now or hereafter arising or asserted by reason of (a) any disability or other defense of any Loan Party or any other Person with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, (b) the unenforceability or invalidity of the Guarantied Obligations or of any security or guaranty for the Guarantied Obligations or the lack 

 

5

 

of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Guarantied Obligations, (c) the cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability of any Loan Party or any other Person (other than by reason of the full payment and performance of all Guarantied Obligations), (d) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan Document, Secured Hedge Agreement, Secured Cash Management Agreement or otherwise or any failure of any Secured Party to marshal assets in favor of such Guarantor or any other Person, (e) except as otherwise required by Law or as provided in this Agreement, any failure of any Secured Party to give notice of sale or other disposition of collateral to such Guarantor or any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of collateral, (f) except as otherwise required by Law or as provided in this Agreement, any failure of any Secured Party to comply with applicable Laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral or other security for any Guarantied Obligation, including without limitation any failure of any Secured Party to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral or other security for any Guarantied Obligation, (g) any act or omission of any Secured Party or others that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or the Guarantied Obligations or any other security or guaranty therefor by operation of law or otherwise, (h) any Law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal obligation, (i) any failure of any Secured Party to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any Person, (j) the election by any Secured Party, in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (k) any extension of credit or the grant of any Liens under Section 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (l) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (m) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, (n) the avoidance of any Liens in favor of any Secured Party for any reason, (o) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against any Person, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the Guarantied Obligations (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding, (p) to the extent permitted, the benefits of any form of one-action rule, (q) any defense based on such Guarantor’s rights under NRS 104.3605, each Guarantor specifically agreeing that this clause (q) shall constitute a waiver of discharge under NRS 104.3605, (r) any defense or benefit based on NRS 40.430 and judicial decisions relating thereto and NRS 40.451 et seq. and judicial decisions relating thereto, each Guarantor agreeing that the waiver in this clause (r) is intended to take advantage of the two (2) waivers permitted by NRS 40.495 (1) and (2) to the maximum extent permitted and (s) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other guarantor or surety (other than the defense that the Guarantied Obligations shall have been fully performed or paid in full, subject to reinstatement and revival pursuant to this Section 7).

 

8.                                    Condition of Borrower and its Subsidiaries.  Each Guarantor represents and warrants to the Secured Parties that each Guarantor has established adequate means of 

 

6

 

obtaining from Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a continuing basis, financial and other information pertaining to the businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their Properties, and each Guarantor now is and hereafter will be completely familiar with the businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their Properties.  Each Guarantor hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Secured Party (should any such duty exist) to disclose to any Guarantor any matter, fact or thing related to the businesses, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower or its Subsidiaries or their Properties, whether now known or hereafter known by the Secured Parties during the life of this Guaranty.  With respect to any of the Guarantied Obligations, the Secured Parties need not inquire into the powers of Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof or the officers or employees acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and all Guarantied Obligations made or created in good faith reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be binding and enforceable.

 

9.                                    Liens on Real Property.  In the event that all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations at any time are secured by any one or more deeds of trust or mortgages or other instruments creating or granting Liens on any interests in real Property, each Guarantor authorizes the Secured Parties, upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, at their sole option, without notice or demand and without affecting any Guarantied Obligations of any Guarantor, the enforceability of this Guaranty, or the validity or enforceability of any Liens of any Secured Party on any Collateral, to foreclose any or all of such deeds of trust or mortgages or other instruments by judicial or nonjudicial sale.  Each Guarantor expressly waives any defenses to the enforcement of this Guaranty or any rights of any Secured Party created or granted hereby or to the recovery by the Secured Parties against Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person liable therefor of any deficiency after a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale, even though such a foreclosure or sale may impair the subrogation rights of any Guarantor or may preclude any Guarantor from obtaining reimbursement or contribution from Borrower.  Each Guarantor expressly waives any defenses or benefits that may be derived from NRS Section 40.451, et seq. and judicial decisions relating thereto, or comparable provisions of Nevada Law which are comparable to California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 580a, 580b, 580d or 726, or comparable provisions of the Laws of any other jurisdiction, and all other suretyship defenses it otherwise might or would have under Nevada Law or other applicable Law.  Each Guarantor expressly waives any right to receive notice of any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale of any real Property or interest therein subject to any such deeds of trust or mortgages or other instruments and any Guarantor’s or any other Person’s failure to receive any such notice shall not impair or affect Guarantors’ Obligations or the enforceability of this Guaranty or any rights of any Secured Party created or granted hereby.

 

10.                            Waiver of Rights of Subrogation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere contained herein or in any other Loan Document to which any Guarantor is a party, so long as the Guarantied Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) remain outstanding, each Guarantor hereby expressly postpones with respect to each other Loan Party and its successors and assigns (including any surety) and any other Person which is directly or indirectly a creditor of such other Loan Party or any surety for such other Loan Party, any and all rights at Law or in equity to subrogation, to reimbursement, to exoneration, to contribution, to setoff or to any other rights that could accrue to a surety against a principal, to a guarantor against a maker or obligor, to an accommodation party against the party accommodated, or to a 

 

7

 

holder or transferee against a maker, and which each Guarantor may have or hereafter acquire against any other Loan Party or any other such Person in connection with or as a result of such Guarantor’s execution, delivery and/or performance of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document to which such Guarantor is a party.  Each Guarantor agrees that so long as the Guarantied Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) remain outstanding, they shall not have or assert any such rights against any other Loan Party or its successors and assigns or any other Person (including any surety) which is directly or indirectly a creditor of such other Loan Party  or any surety for such other Loan Party, either directly or as an attempted setoff to any action commenced against such Guarantor by any other Loan Party (as a borrower or in any other capacity), the Secured Parties or any other such Person.  Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit each other Loan Party and the Secured Parties and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Guarantor’s liability hereunder, under any other Loan Document to which such Guarantor is a party, or the enforceability hereof or thereof.

 

11.                            Right of Contribution; Severability.

 

(a)                               Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of all payments made hereunder, provided that all then current Guarantied Obligations are then satisfied, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder who has not paid its proportionate share of all such payments.  The provisions of this Section 11 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.  The “proportionate share” of any Guarantor shall be a fraction (which shall in no event exceed 1.00) the numerator of which is the excess, if any, of the fair value of the assets of such Guarantor over a fair estimate of the liabilities of Guarantor and the denominator of which is the excess (but not less than $1.00) of the fair value of the aggregate assets (without duplication) of all Guarantors over a fair estimate of the aggregate liabilities (without duplication) of all Guarantors.  All relevant calculations shall be made as of the date such Guarantor became a Guarantor.

 

(b)                              Additionally, wherever possible, each provision of this Guaranty will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty is prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision will be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty.  Consistent with the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, in the event that any action or proceeding is brought in whatever form and in whatever forum seeking to invalidate the Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty under any fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer theory, or similar avoidance theory, whether under state or federal law, the Guarantor (the “Affected Guarantor”), automatically and without any further action being required of the Affected Guarantor or any Secured Party, shall be liable under this Guaranty only for an amount equal to the maximum amount of liability that could have been incurred under applicable law by the Affected Guarantor under any guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations (or any portion 

 

8

 

thereof) at the time of the execution and delivery of this Guaranty (or, if such date is determined not to be the appropriate date for determining the enforceability of the Affected Guarantor’s obligations hereunder for fraudulent conveyance or transfer (or similar avoidance) purposes, on the date determined to be so appropriate) without rendering such a hypothetical guaranty voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, or any other grounds for avoidance (such highest amount determined hereunder being the Affected Guarantor’s “Maximum Guaranty Amount”), and not for any greater amount, as if the stated amount of this Guaranty as to the Affected Guarantor had instead been the Maximum Guaranty Amount.  This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Secured Parties under this Guaranty to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and neither the Affected Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to the limitation described in this Guaranty, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of the Affected Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the determination of a Maximum Guaranty Amount for the Affected Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of the second preceding sentence of this Section shall not in any manner reduce or otherwise affect the obligations of any other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

12.                            Understandings With Respect to Waivers and Consents.  Each Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth herein are made with full knowledge of their significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense or right waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which such Guarantor otherwise may have against the other Loan Parties, the Secured Parties or others, or against any Collateral.  Each Guarantor acknowledges that it has either consulted with legal counsel regarding the effect of this Guaranty and the waivers and consents set forth herein, or has made an informed decision not to do so.  If this Guaranty or any of the waivers or consents herein are determined to be unenforceable under or in violation of applicable Law, this Guaranty and such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

 

13.                            Costs and Expenses.  Without limiting any other reimbursement obligations under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and without duplication thereof, each Guarantor agrees to pay to the Secured Parties all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) actually incurred by the Secured Parties in the enforcement or attempted enforcement of this Guaranty, whether or not an action is filed in connection therewith, and in connection with any waiver or amendment of any term or provision hereof.  All reasonable advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (including the reasonably allocated cost of legal counsel employed by the Secured Parties), actually incurred or paid by the Secured Parties in exercising any right, privilege, power or remedy conferred by this Guaranty, or in the enforcement or attempted enforcement thereof, shall be subject hereto and shall become a part of the Guarantied Obligations and shall be paid to the Secured Parties by each Guarantor, immediately upon demand, together with interest thereon at the per annum rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Term Facility, or the Default Rate if applicable.

14.                            Liability.  The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is independent of any other guaranties at any time in effect with respect to all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations, and each Guarantor’s liability hereunder may be enforced regardless of the existence of any such guaranties.  Any termination by or release of any guarantor in whole or in part (whether it be another Guarantor under this instrument or not) shall not affect the continuing liability of any Guarantor hereunder, and no notice of any such termination or release shall be required.

 

15.                            Joinder.  Any other Person may become a Guarantor under and become bound by the terms and conditions of this Guaranty by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent an Instrument of Joinder substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, accompanied by such documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require to establish the due organization, valid existence and good standing of such Person, its qualification to engage in business in each material jurisdiction in which it is required to be so qualified, its authority to execute, deliver and perform this Guaranty, and the identity, authority and capacity of each Responsible Officer thereof authorized to act on its behalf.

 

16.                            Release of Guarantors.  This Guaranty shall be terminated and all Guarantied Obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be released when the Aggregate Commitments have been terminated and the Guarantied Obligations have been paid in full (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank of Hedge Bank shall have been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer shall have been made).  Additionally, a Guarantor shall be released from its guarantee and its obligations hereunder upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement as a result of which such Guarantor (x) ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Borrower or (y) becomes an Excluded Subsidiary.  Upon such release of any or all of Guarantors’ Guarantied Obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall endorse, execute, deliver, record and file all instruments and documents, and do all other acts and things, reasonably required to evidence or document the release of the Secured Parties’ rights arising under this Guaranty, all as reasonably requested by, and at the sole expense of, Guarantors.

 

17.                            Successors and Assigns.  This Guaranty shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no Guarantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Guaranty without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void. By accepting the benefits of the Loan Documents, each Hedge Bank and Cash Management Bank agrees to be bound by all of the applicable provisions thereof.

 

18.                            Amendments in Writing.  None of the terms or provisions of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each affected Guarantor and the Administrative Agent, subject to any consents required under the Credit Agreement; provided that any provision of this Guaranty imposing obligations on any Guarantor may be waived by the Administrative Agent in a written instrument

 

10

 

executed by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, no such waiver amendment, supplement or modification shall require the consent of any Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank except as may be expressly provided in the Credit Agreement.

 

19.                            Counterparts.  This Guaranty may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

20.                            WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS GUARANTY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 20.

 

21.                            SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF VENUE; SERVICE OF PROCESS.

 

(a)                               EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.  NOTHING IN THIS GUARANTY OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY SECURED PARTY MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY AGAINST THE GUARANTOR OR THEIR PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

 

11

 

(b)                              EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (A) OF THIS SECTION.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

 

(c)                               EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.  NOTHING IN THIS GUARANTY WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

 

22.                         THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

23.                            Amendment and Restatement of Existing Guaranty.  From and after the date hereof: (a) the terms and conditions of the Existing Guaranty shall be amended as set forth herein and, as so amended, shall be restated in their entirety, but only with respect to the rights, duties and obligations among the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties accruing from and after the date hereof; (b) this Guaranty shall not in any way release or impair the rights, duties, “Guarantied Obligations,” or guarantees created pursuant to the Existing Guaranty or affect the relative priorities thereof, in each case to the extent in force and effect thereunder as of the date hereof and except as modified hereby or by documents, instruments and agreements executed and delivered in connection herewith, and all of such rights, duties, “Guarantied Obligations” and guarantees are hereby assumed, ratified and affirmed by the Guarantors; and (c) the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Guaranty shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Secured Parties or the Administrative Agent under the Existing Guaranty, nor constitute a waiver of any covenant, agreement or obligation under the Existing Guaranty, except to the extent that any such covenant, agreement or obligation is no longer set forth herein or is modified hereby.

 

24.                            Keepwell Agreement.  Each Loan Party that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time this Guaranty or the grant of the security interest under the Loan Documents, in each case, by any Specified Loan Party, becomes effective with respect to any Swap Obligation, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Loan Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations and undertakings under this Section 23 voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor 

 

12

 

under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Loan Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Guarantor has executed this Guaranty by its duly authorized officer as of the date first written above.

This Amendment One to the Renewal Executive Employment Agreement (“Amendment One”) is made, effective as of April 16, 2013 (“Effective Date”), by and between Accuray Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“Accuray”) and Kelly Londy (“Executive”).

 

The parties entered into an Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) effective as of January 1, 2013 and, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Amendment One, the parties want to amend the Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

The parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                                      The Agreement Recitals, Section 1(a), Section 5(d) and Section 5(e) of the Agreement shall be amended such that “Senior Vice President, Chief Commercial Officer” shall be replaced with the “Executive Vice President, Chief Commercial Officer.”

 

2.                                      The Agreement, Section 4(a) on Page 2 of the Agreement shall be amended such that Executive’s Base Salary of “$329,600” shall be replaced with “$350,000” calculated on an annualized basis.

 

3.                                      As permitted under Section 4(c)(ii) of the Agreement, and in connection with the above changes, Executive will be granted 60,000 Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) in accordance with Accuray’s policy for granting of equity awards, with the grant date for such RSUs to be the last trading day of the current calendar month, or April 30, 2013 and the vest start date for such RSUs to be April 30, 2013. Exhibit B to the Agreement shall be amended accordingly, following such grants.

 

4.                                      All provisions of the Agreement, except as expressly modified by this Amendment One, will remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and reaffirmed.  In the case of direct conflict or conflict by reason of interpretation between any provision of this Amendment One and the Agreement, this Amendment One shall control and supersede the terms of the Agreement. This Amendment One in combination with the Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior understandings, representations and warranties, written and oral.
