Other than the Assumed Liabilities assumed by Buyer, Buyer is not assuming and shall not be liable for any liabilities or obligations of Sellers.

 

Section 2.4                                                Excluded Liabilities. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall not assume and shall not be obligated to assume or be obliged to pay, perform or otherwise discharge, and Sellers shall be solely and exclusively liable with respect to, any Liability of any Seller or Retained Subsidiary that is not an Assumed Liability (such Liabilities, collectively, the “Excluded Liabilities”), including without limitation the following specific Liabilities to the extent they do not otherwise constitute Assumed Liabilities:

(d)                                 all Sellers’ Taxes;

(f)                                   any and all Liabilities arising from or related to the operation or condition of the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities prior to the Closing (except as set forth in Section 7.8) or facts, actions, omissions, circumstances or conditions existing, occurring or accruing with respect to the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities prior to the Closing (except as set forth in Section 7.8);

 

19

 

(g)                                  any and all Liabilities relating to any environmental, health or safety matter (including any Liability or obligation under any applicable Laws concerning environmental, health or safety matters, whether known or unknown), arising out of or relating to the Sellers’ conduct, action or omission or its leasing, ownership or operation of real property on or prior to the Closing Date (except as set forth in Section 7.8), no matter when raised, other than as required by Law;

 

(h)                                 any and all Liabilities relating to complaints, causes of action, litigation or similar matters instituted against Sellers or any of their Subsidiaries relating to or arising out of any actions, omissions, circumstances or conditions or events occurring prior to the Closing Date (except as set forth in Section 7.5 or Section 7.8); and

 

(i)                                     any Liability not expressly included among the Assumed Liabilities and specifically so assumed.

 

Section 2.5                                    Inventory. Forty-eight (48) hours prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall cause to be taken a SKU-level Cost Value physical inventory of the Inventory to be transferred to Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “Inventory Taking”).  Sellers shall employ WIS International or another mutually acceptable independent inventory taking service (the “Inventory Taking Service”) to conduct the Inventory Taking.  Each of Sellers and Buyer, respectively, shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of the fees and expenses of the Inventory Taking Service in connection with the Inventory Taking.  The Inventory Taking shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures and instructions to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties. Each Party shall have the right to have representatives present during the Inventory Taking, and shall each have the right to review and verify the listing and tabulation of the Inventory Taking Service. Sellers agree that during the Inventory Taking and from and after such time until the Closing, (a) the Closing Date Acquired Stores shall be closed to the public and no sales or other transactions shall be conducted at such Closing Date Acquired Stores or through Sellers’ other sales channels with respect to the Business (including (i) the online retail businesses of the Sellers operated through the website www.overtons.com and www.gandermountain.com and (ii) the direct mail retail businesses of the Sellers operated through the Overton’s catalog) until the Closing, and (b) neither Sellers nor their representatives or agents shall transfer any Inventory from the Closing Date Business Properties.  Upon completion of the Inventory Taking, Sellers shall deliver Schedule 2.5 to Buyer, which schedule shall contain an itemized listing of the Inventory owned by Sellers as of the Effective Date and the corresponding Inventory Value of each item of Inventory (such schedule, the “Inventory Schedule”).  The Inventory listed on the Inventory Schedule shall be considered Acquired Assets (and any inventory not so listed shall not be considered Inventory or Acquired Assets), and the Inventory Schedule shall provide the Inventory Value for each item of Inventory, in each case, for all purposes of this Agreement.  At the Closing, in accordance with Section 3.3, Buyer shall pay to Sellers an amount equal to the Inventory Purchase Price.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.5 shall prohibit the Liquidating Agent from removing Distribution Center Merchandise (as defined in the Liquidation Agreement) from the Closing Date Business Properties in accordance with the terms of the Agency Agreement.

 

Section 2.6                                    Assignments. Sellers shall transfer and assign all Assigned Agreements and Permits to Buyer, and Buyer shall assume all Assigned Agreements and Permits

 

20

 

from Sellers, as of the Closing pursuant to, inter alia, Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and the Sale Order.  To the maximum extent permitted by the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable Law, the Assigned Agreements and Permits shall be assumed by Sellers and assigned to Buyer as of the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that the assignment to Buyer of any Assigned Agreement or Permit is not permitted by Law or is not permitted without the consent of a Third Party and, in the case of the Assigned Agreements and Permits that are the subject of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and the Sale Order, as applicable, such restriction cannot be effectively overridden or canceled by the Sale Order, or other related order of the Bankruptcy Court, then this Agreement will not be deemed to constitute an assignment or an undertaking or attempt to assign the same or any right or interest therein if such consent is not given and the Closing shall proceed with respect to the remaining Assigned Agreements and Permits without any reduction in the Purchase Price; provided, however, that Sellers will use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such consents to assign such Assigned Agreements and Permits to Buyer.  With respect to such non-assignable or non-assumable Acquired Assets that are Assigned Agreements, the applicable Seller hereby appoints, effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer as such Seller’s agent and attorney-in-fact, effective as of the Closing Date, to act for such Seller in obtaining the benefits and performing such Seller’s obligations under such Assigned Agreements, but only to the extent any action to obtain such benefits and any such delegation of duties may be made without violation thereof and, in each case, at the sole cost and expense of Buyer without any liability or obligation of such Seller.  In addition, until the impracticalities of assignment referred to in this Section 2.6 hereof are resolved, the Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts, at Buyer’s sole cost, to (i) provide Buyer the benefits of any Acquired Asset referred to in this Section 2.6, (ii) cooperate in any reasonable and lawful arrangement designed to provide such benefits to Buyer, and (iii) enforce, for the account and benefit of Buyer, any and all rights of any Seller arising from the Acquired Assets referred to in this Section 2.6 against such issuer thereof and all other parties thereto (including the right to elect to terminate any Contract in accordance with the terms thereof on the request of Buyer).  Buyer shall perform, on behalf of Sellers, for the benefit of the issuer thereof and/or all other parties thereto, the obligations of the applicable Seller under the Acquired Assets referred to in this Section 2.6 or in connection therewith.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by law, (i) any Permit necessary to operate a Closing Date Acquired Store or Closing Date Business Property shall be transferred and assigned to Buyer, and Buyer shall assume any such Permit from Sellers as of the Closing, (ii) any Permit necessary to operate an Acquired Store or Business Property (other than a Closing Date Acquired Store or Closing Date Business Property) shall be transferred and assigned to Buyer, and Buyer shall assume any such Permit from Sellers, as of the date that the applicable Real Property Lease is assumed and assigned to Buyer pursuant to the Designation Rights Agreement and (iii) any Permit related to the Business that is required for Sellers to operate in accordance with the terms of the Consulting Agreement or the Liquidation Agreement shall be transferred and assigned to Buyer, and Buyer shall assume any such Permit from Sellers, no earlier than the termination of the sales conducted pursuant to the Consulting Agreement or the Sale Termination Date (as defined in the Liquidation Agreement), as applicable.

 

Section 2.7                                    Further Assurances. At the Closing, Sellers shall, upon Buyer’s request, execute and deliver to Buyer such other instruments of transfer as shall be reasonably necessary to vest in Buyer title to the Acquired Assets and such other instruments as shall be reasonably necessary to evidence the assignment by Sellers and assumption by Buyer of the

 

21

 

Assigned Agreements, and each of Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, do or cause to be done all things necessary under applicable Law, and execute and deliver such instruments and documents and to take such other actions, as may be required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at or after the Closing; provided that nothing in this Section 2.7 shall prohibit Sellers from ceasing operations or winding up their affairs following the Closing.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, in the event that any of the Acquired Assets shall not have been conveyed at Closing, Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to convey such Acquired Assets to Buyer as promptly as practicable after the Closing.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Seller shall cause any applicable Retained Subsidiary that holds any Acquired Assets to transfer such Acquired Assets to a Seller prior to the Closing.

 

ARTICLE III

 

PURCHASE PRICE

 

Section 3.1                                              Purchase Price. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the purchase, sale, assignment and conveyance of Sellers’ right, title and interest in, to and under the Acquired Assets shall consist of:

 

(a)                                 cash in the amount of the Cash Consideration;

 

(b)                                 cash in the amount of the Inventory Purchase Price; and

 

(c)                                  the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities.

 

Section 3.2                                              Minimum Deposit. Buyer has delivered to the Escrow Agent the Minimum Deposit in immediately available funds pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.  The Minimum Deposit shall not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process, or any other judicial process of any creditor of any Seller or Buyer.  The Parties shall instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute the Minimum Deposit to Sellers at the Closing (which amount shall be deducted from the Purchase Price due and payable by Buyer at the Closing), or, if this Agreement is terminated, treated in the manner set forth in Section 11.2 and the Escrow Agreement.  All fees associated with the Escrow Agreement shall be borne by Buyer.

 

Section 3.3                                              Closing Date Payments. At the Closing, (a) Buyer shall pay to Sellers cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds in an amount equal to the aggregate of the Cash Consideration and the Inventory Purchase Price minus the Minimum Deposit (the “Closing Date Payment”), and (b) Sellers and Buyer shall direct the Escrow Agent to indefeasibly transfer the Minimum Deposit to an account designated by Sellers.

 

Section 3.4                                              Discharge of Assumed Liabilities After Closing. Following the Closing, Buyer shall pay, perform or satisfy the Assumed Liabilities from time to time and as such Assumed Liabilities become due and payable or are required to be performed or satisfied in accordance with their respective terms.

 

22

 

Section 3.5                                              Allocation of Purchase Price.

 

(a)                                 No later than forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to Sellers allocation schedule(s) allocating the Purchase Price (as may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) among the Acquired Assets of each Seller, including the Assumed Liabilities to the extent such Liabilities are required to be treated as part of the purchase price for Tax purposes in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code (the “Allocation Schedule”).  Such Allocation Schedule shall become final, binding and conclusive upon Sellers and Buyer on the forty-fifth (45th) day following Sellers’ receipt of such statement, unless prior to such forty-fifth (45th) day Sellers deliver to Buyer a written notice disputing such Allocation Schedule that sets forth what Sellers believe represent the appropriate allocation of the Purchase Price and Assumed Liabilities among the Acquired Assets, together with reasonably detailed supporting documentation.  If Sellers deliver such a dispute notice, then Buyer and Sellers shall reasonably cooperate in good faith to agree upon the appropriate allocation under Section 1060 of the Code during the ten-day period beginning on the date Buyer receives such dispute notice.  If such an agreement cannot be reached during such ten-day period, then, within ten days thereafter, Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, shall jointly engage and submit the unresolved dispute to a nationally recognized independent registered public accounting firm appointed by mutual agreement of Buyer and Sellers, or, if they are unable to agree, selected by the Bankruptcy Court.  Buyer and Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause such firm to issue its written determination regarding the appropriate allocation under Section 1060 as applicable to the terms of this Agreement within fifteen (15) days after such dispute is submitted.  Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to such firm such work papers and other documents and information as such firm may reasonably request.  The determination of such firm shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Buyer and Sellers absent manifest error.  The Allocation Schedule shall be revised in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code to appropriately take into account any additional payments made under this Agreement following the foregoing determination.

 

(b)                                 In administering any Proceeding, the Bankruptcy Court shall not be required to apply the Allocation Schedule(s) in determining the manner in which the Purchase Price should be allocated as between any of the Sellers and their respective estates.  Buyer and Sellers will each file all Tax Returns (including IRS Forms 8594) consistent with the Allocation Schedule(s) established in accordance with this Section 3.5.  Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, each agree to provide the other promptly with any other information required to complete IRS Forms 8594.  Neither Buyer nor any Seller shall take any Tax position inconsistent with such Allocation Schedule, and neither Buyer nor any Seller shall agree to any proposed adjustment based upon or arising out of Allocation Schedule by any Governmental Authority without first giving the other Party prior written notice; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent Buyer or any Seller from settling any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Authority based upon or arising out of the Allocation Schedule, and neither Buyer nor any Seller shall be required to litigate before any court any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Authority based upon or arising out of such Allocation Schedule.

There are no Proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Buyer, threatened, that would affect in any material respect Buyer’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

 

Section 6.6               Brokers or Finders. Neither Buyer nor any Person acting on behalf of Buyer has paid or become obligated to pay any fee or commission to any broker, finder, investment banker, agent or intermediary for or on account of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which Sellers are or will become liable, and Buyer shall hold harmless and indemnify Sellers from any claims with respect to any such fees or commissions.

 

Section 6.7               Condition of Acquired Assets; Representations.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary (but without limiting in any manner Section 7.7), Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Sellers are not making any representations or warranties whatsoever, express or implied, beyond those expressly given by Sellers in Article V (subject to the disclosures set forth on the Schedules), and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that,

 

33

 

except for the representations and warranties contained therein, the Acquired Assets are being transferred on a “where is” and, as to condition, “as is” basis.  Buyer acknowledges that it has conducted to its satisfaction its own independent investigation of the Business and, in making the determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer has relied on the results of its own independent investigation.  In connection with Buyer’s investigation, Buyer has received or may receive from Sellers certain projections, forward-looking statements and other forecasts and certain business plan information.  Buyer acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, that Buyer is familiar with such uncertainties, that Buyer is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it  (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans), and that Buyer shall have no claim against anyone with respect thereto.  Accordingly, Buyer acknowledges that Sellers make no representation or warranty with respect to such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans).

 

ARTICLE VII
  
 ACTIONS PRIOR TO THE CLOSING DATE

 

Section 7.1                Investigation of the Business by Buyer.

 

(a)           After the Effective Date and prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall, in accordance with reasonable procedures to be established in good faith by mutual agreement of Sellers’ Interim Access Manager and Buyer’s Interim Access Manager, (a) afford Buyer’s authorized Representatives access during normal business hours to the offices, properties, key employees, outside accountants, agreements and other documentation and financial records (including computer files, retrieval programs and similar documentation) with respect to the Business to the extent Sellers and Buyer reasonably deem necessary, and permit Buyer and its authorized Representatives to make copies of such materials, (b) furnish to Buyer or its authorized Representatives such additional information concerning the Business as shall be reasonably requested by Buyer or its authorized Representatives, and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause their outside accountants and outside counsel to cooperate with Buyer in its investigation; provided that Buyer shall submit to Sellers requests for such access, information or cooperation, including reasonable detail regarding the requested access, information or cooperation, a reasonable period in advance of the time at which such access, information or cooperation is to be provided, and all such requests shall be submitted only to the individual designated in writing by Sellers as Sellers’ designated representative, or to such other individuals as such designated individual may designate from time to time to receive such requests (“Sellers’ Interim Access Manager”).  Such requests of Buyer shall be submitted only by the individual designated in writing by Buyer or another individual reasonably acceptable to Sellers’ Interim Access Manager as successor thereto, as Buyer’s designated representative (“Buyer’s Interim Access Manager”).  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such access, information or cooperation shall be permitted or required to the extent that it would require Sellers to disclose information subject to attorney-client privilege or would be prohibited by Law or would otherwise potentially contravene any antitrust or competition Law. Buyer and

 

34

 

Sellers shall conduct the investigations contemplated by this Section 7.1(a) in a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Consulting Agreement or the Liquidation Agreement.

 

(b)           After the Effective Date and prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall, and shall cause their Subsidiaries to, promptly following Buyer’s request, seek and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to arrange such meetings and telephone conferences with the  material suppliers and vendors of Sellers and their Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by the Buyer and necessary and appropriate for the Buyer to coordinate transition of such suppliers and vendors to the Business following the Closing.

 

Section 7.2               Operations Prior to the Closing Date. Sellers covenant and agree that, except (i) as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, the Consulting Agreement or the Liquidation Agreement, (ii) as disclosed in Schedule 7.2, (iii) with the prior written consent of Buyer (which consent, other than with respect to Section 7.2(b)(ii), shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (iv) as required by the Bankruptcy Court or (v) as otherwise required by Law, after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing Date:

 

(a)           Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts, taking into account Sellers’ status as debtors-in-possession in the Bankruptcy Cases, to carry on the Business in the Ordinary Course of Business, to maintain in full force and effect the Permits, to maintain and preserve the Acquired Assets in their present condition (including by using their commercially reasonable efforts to renew any Business Contracts that come up for renewal in the Ordinary Course of Business), other than reasonable wear and tear and sales of Inventory in the Ordinary Course of Business (for the avoidance of doubt, Sellers shall not be required to replenish inventory), to continue to protect the confidentiality, integrity and security of the IT Assets (and all information and transactions stored or contained therein or transmitted thereby) against any unauthorized use, access, interruption, modification or corruption, and to keep intact the business relationships relating to the Business; and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

 

(b)           Sellers shall not:

 

(i)            other than the sale of Inventory in the Ordinary Course of Business, or pursuant to any debtor-in-possession financing or cash collateral agreement or order, or Order of the Bankruptcy Court, sell, lease (as lessor), transfer (including the transfer from an Acquired Store to a non-Acquired Store), assign, license, convey, surrender, relinquish, abandon, permit to lapse or otherwise dispose of, or mortgage or pledge, or voluntarily impose or suffer to be imposed any Encumbrance (other than Assumed Liabilities and Permitted Encumbrances) on, any Acquired Asset;

 

(ii)           amend, modify, terminate, waive any rights under or create any Encumbrance with respect to, any of the Business Contracts or Real Property Leases or otherwise take any actions not required by the terms of any Business Contract or Real Property Lease that would result in any increase in any payments to be made under such Business Contract or Real Property Lease;

 

35

 

(iii)          incur or permit to be incurred any Liability that would be an Assumed Liability outside the Ordinary Course of Business or that would increase the amount of an Assumed Liability;

 

(iv)          incur any long-term expenditure associated with the Acquired Assets that would be an Assumed Liability;

 

(v)           except in the Ordinary Course of Business, cancel or compromise any material claim or waive or release any material right, in each case, that is a claim or right related to an Acquired Asset;

 

(vi)          with respect to any Business Employee, increase the salary, bonus or severance arrangements of such Business Employee or amend, modify, terminate or enter into any employment or severance Contract with such Business Employee, or terminate the employment of any Business Employee or other employee of Seller who may be designated hereunder as a Business Employee prior to Closing; or

 

(vii)         enter into any agreement or commitment to take any action prohibited by this Section 7.2.

 

(c)           Without in any way limiting any Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement, the Parties understand and agree that (i) nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Buyer, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of Sellers or the Business prior to the Closing and (ii) prior to the Closing, Sellers shall exercise, consistent with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over the Business and its operations to the extent permitted by Law, including pursuant to the Consulting Agreement and the Liquidation Agreement and taking into account Sellers’ status as debtors-in-possession in the Bankruptcy Cases.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Sellers shall be permitted to take all actions that are necessary or desirable to comply with the WARN Act, including providing any notices required under the WARN Act, and no such actions shall constitute a violation of this Section 7.2.

 

Section 7.3               Reasonable Best Efforts.

 

(a)           Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner reasonably practicable, the transactions contemplated hereby, including using reasonable best efforts to accomplish the following: (i) the taking of all reasonable acts necessary to cause the conditions precedent set forth in Article IX and Article X to be satisfied, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary Governmental Authorizations and the making of all necessary registrations, declarations and filings (including registrations, declarations and filings with Governmental Authorities, if any) and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to avoid any Proceeding by any Governmental Authority, (iii) the defending of any Proceedings challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby, including seeking to have any stay or

 

36

 

temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Authority vacated or reversed, and (iv) the execution or delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

 

(b)           Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, (i) shall promptly inform each other of any communication from any Governmental Authority concerning this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, and any filing, notification or request for approval and (ii) shall permit the other to review in advance any proposed written or material oral communication or information submitted to any such Governmental Authority in response thereto and shall discuss and attempt to reasonably account for any comments or suggestions of the other Party (in each case excluding any portions thereof that contain confidential information).  In addition, none of the Parties shall agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, unless such Party consults with the other Parties in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by any such Governmental Authority, gives the other Parties the opportunity to attend and participate thereat, in each case to the maximum extent practicable.  Subject to any restrictions under applicable laws, rules or regulations, Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, shall furnish the other with copies of all correspondence, filings and communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between it and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives on the one hand, and the Governmental Authority or members of its staff on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby (excluding documents and communications which are subject to preexisting confidentiality agreements or to the attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine) or any such filing, notification or request for approval (in each case excluding any portions thereof that contain confidential information).  In carrying out their obligations under this Section 7.3, subject to applicable Law, each of the Parties shall not submit or otherwise provide any information to such Governmental Authority without first having provided a reasonable opportunity to the other Party and its counsel to comment upon such information.  Each Party shall also furnish the other Party with such necessary information and assistance as such other Party may reasonably request in connection with their preparation of necessary filings, registration or submissions of information to the Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and any such filing, notification or request for approval.  Any Party may, as it deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any sensitive material provided to the other Party under this Section 7.3, or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to the directors, officers or employees of the recipient, unless express written permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials.

 

Section 7.4               Bankruptcy Court Filings and Approval.

 

(a)           Sellers shall use their reasonable best efforts to comply with the deadlines set forth in the Bidding Procedures or the Bidding Procedures Order, as applicable.

 

37

 

(b)           The Parties shall consult with each other regarding pleadings that any of them intends to file with the Bankruptcy Court in connection with, or which might reasonably affect the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Sale Order, including, with respect to Sellers, sharing in advance any drafts thereof for Buyer’s review and comment. Each Seller shall promptly provide Buyer and its counsel with copies of all notices, filings and orders of the Bankruptcy Court that such Seller has in its possession (or receives) pertaining to the Sale Motion, or any other order related to any of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, but only to the extent such papers are not publicly available on the docket of the Bankruptcy Court or otherwise made available to Buyer and its counsel. No Seller shall seek any modification to the Bidding Procedures Order and the Sale Order by the Bankruptcy Court or any other Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction to which a decision relating to the Bankruptcy Cases has been appealed, in each case, without the prior written consent of Buyer (not to be unreasonably withheld).

 

(c)           Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain entry of the Sale Order and such other relief from the Bankruptcy Court as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Buyer agrees that it will promptly take such actions as are reasonably requested by Sellers to assist in obtaining entry of the Sale Order and, consistent with Section 8.3 below, a finding by the Bankruptcy Court of adequate assurance of future performance by Buyer.

 

(d)           Sellers and Buyer acknowledge that this Agreement and the sale of the Acquired Assets and the assumption and assignment of the Assigned Agreements are subject to Bankruptcy Court approval.  Sellers and Buyer acknowledge that (i) to obtain such approval, Sellers must demonstrate that they have taken reasonable steps to obtain the highest or otherwise best offer possible for the Acquired Assets and otherwise have complied with the Bankruptcy Code requirements for approval of the sale of the Acquired Assets to Buyer and (ii) Buyer must provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Assigned Agreements to be assigned by Sellers, and Buyer hereby agrees to provide all appropriate assurances thereof necessary in order to obtain the foregoing approvals.

 

(e)           Sellers shall give all notices required to be given by applicable Law, to all Persons entitled thereto, of all motions (including the motions seeking entry of the Sale Order), orders, hearings and other proceedings relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and such additional notice as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court or as Buyer may reasonably request.  Sellers shall promptly provide Buyer with copies of all communications from the Bankruptcy Court relating to the motions seeking entry of the Sale Order.

 

(f)            In the event an appeal is taken or a stay pending appeal is requested from the Sale Order, Sellers shall immediately notify Buyer of such appeal or stay request and shall provide to Buyer promptly a copy of the related notice of appeal or order of stay.  Sellers shall also provide Buyer with written notice of any motion or application filed in connection with any appeal from or stay request in respect of such order.  Sellers and Buyer shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to defend such appeal or stay request and obtain an expedited resolution of such appeal.

 

38

 

(g)           After entry of the Sale Order, Sellers shall not take any action which is intended to, or fail to take any action the intent of which failure to act is to, result in the reversal, voiding, modification or staying of the Sale Order.

 

Section 7.5               Notification of Certain Matters.

 

(a)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and without any increase or decrease in the Purchase Price, at any time during the thirty (30) day period following the Closing, Buyer may revise this Agreement and any schedule setting forth the Acquired Assets, the Assigned Agreements, or the Excluded Assets prior to the Closing to (i) include in the definition of Acquired Assets (pursuant to the applicable schedule) and to exclude from the definition of Excluded Assets, any Contract relating to the Business that is not a Real Property Lease (each a “Non-Lease Contract”) not previously included in the Acquired Assets and (ii) to exclude from the definition of Acquired Assets (pursuant to the applicable schedule) and to include in the definition of Excluded Assets, any Non-Lease Contract or other asset of the Seller previously included in the Acquired Assets and not otherwise included in the definition of Excluded Assets, at any time on or prior to the Closing.  In the event that Buyer elects during such 30-day period to have Sellers assume and assign any Non-Lease Contract in accordance with this Section 7.5(a), Sellers and Buyer shall comply with the applicable provisions of the Sale Order.  On the date that any such Non-Lease Contract is assumed and assigned to Buyer, Buyer shall pay all Cure Costs for such Non-Lease Contract, and such Non-Lease Contract shall thereafter be deemed an Assigned Agreement for all purposes under this Agreement.  Any Non-Lease Contract that Buyer does not timely elect to have assigned to it shall automatically be deemed to be an Excluded Asset.  During the thirty (30) day period following the Closing, the Sellers shall not reject, modify, terminate, waive any rights under or create any Encumbrance with respect to, any Non-Lease Contract without the prior written consent of Buyer.

 

(b)           If any Non-Lease Contract is excluded from the Acquired Assets as permitted by this Section 7.5(a), all Liabilities to third parties arising under such Non-Lease Contract shall be Excluded Liabilities. Without limiting any of Buyer’s rights pursuant to this Section 7.5, in the event that the Sale Order does not approve the assignment or transfer of one or more of the Assigned Agreements to Buyer as Acquired Assets, Buyer may, in its sole discretion and at any time prior to the Closing Date, exclude any or all of the Assigned Agreements from the Acquired Assets.

 

Section 7.6               Employees.

 

(a)           With respect to each Business Employee, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall provide Buyer with a list setting forth, to the extent such information is permitted to be disclosed under applicable Law and has not previously been provided: (i) title or job/position, (ii) job designation (i.e., salaried or hourly), (iii) location of employment and Seller employer, (iv) employment status (active, on leave or on unpaid leave, including for those on leave the scheduled end of leave), (v) annual base rate of compensation and any bonus amount that he or she has received for the most recent fiscal year and (vi) accrued and unused vacation pay.

 

39

 

(b)           At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, Buyer shall provide (or cause one of its Subsidiaries to provide) to all Business Employees (but excluding for this purpose any Subsequent Acquired Store Employees) an offer (the “Employment Offer”) of employment, with salary and bonus opportunities no less than those in effect immediately prior to the Closing.  Such offers of employment shall be effective on the respective Employment Transfer Date. For each Subsequent Acquired Store Employee, Buyer shall make such Employment Offers no less than two (2) Business Days prior to the assumption and assignment to Buyer of the applicable Real Property Lease, but effective upon the assumption and assignment of such Real Property Lease.  Each Business Employee who accepts Buyer’s offer of employment and who becomes an employee of Buyer or of one of its Subsidiaries shall be a “Transferred Employee.”  Sellers shall cooperate with Buyer in effecting the Transferred Employees’ transfer of employment from Sellers to Buyer or a Buyer Subsidiary as contemplated hereby.  For the avoidance of doubt, no Subsequent Acquired Store Employee shall become an employee of Buyer until the related Real Property Lease is assumed and assigned pursuant to the Designation Rights Agreement.

 

(c)           Unless prohibited by Law or otherwise provided for in an Employment Offer, all unused vacation and paid time off of the Transferred Employees accrued as of the Employment Transfer Date shall, effective as of the Employment Transfer Date, be transferred to and assumed by Buyer.  To the extent any such vacation pay is required by law to be paid on the Employment Transfer Date as to any Transferred Employee, such amount will be paid by the Buyer.  Schedule 7.6(c) sets forth the vacation and paid time off policy applicable to each Business Employee, as well as each Business Employee’s accrued and unused vacation as of the date hereof.  Sellers shall update Schedule 7.6(c) as of the Employment Transfer Date to reflect the accrued and unused vacation for each Transferred Employee as of the Employment Transfer Date.

 

(d)           As to any Transferred Employee to whom a bonus or applicable key employee retention plan (“KERP”) payment is payable with respect to any period on or prior to the Closing Date, the obligation to pay such bonuses and KERP payments shall be transferred to and assumed by Buyer, and Buyer shall pay such bonuses and KERP payments no later than the later to occur of (a) the first regularly-scheduled payroll date following the Closing Date and (b) the date such bonus or KERP payment is earned under the applicable bonus program or the KERP.

 

(e)           In addition, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

 

(i)            Buyer shall not be required to adopt, become a sponsoring employer of, or have any obligations under or with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan and, except as provided in Sections 7.8(c) or (d), Buyer is not assuming any Liabilities under any Employee Benefit Plans;

 

(ii)           Sellers shall be solely responsible for any and all liabilities, obligations, costs, expenses, claims and demands arising out of or relating to:

 

a)            the employment (and/or the termination of employment) of employees who do not become Transferred Employees, whether

 

40

 

such liabilities arise before, on or after the Closing Date (other than any Business Employee with respect to whom Buyer did not make an offer of employment to in compliance with Section 7.6(a), in which case the Buyer will assume any Liability for severance that may be payable to such Business Employee); and

 

b)            the employment (and/or the termination of employment) of, or accruing with respect to, any Transferred Employee before the date such employee actually commences work with Buyer, except for the Liabilities expressly assumed under Sections 7.8(c) or (d);

 

(iii)          Sellers and their respective ERISA Affiliates shall comply with the provisions of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), as set forth in Section 4980B of the Code and Part 6 of Title I of ERISA, with respect to any employee, former employee or beneficiary of any such employee or former employee who is covered under any group health plan, as defined in Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code, maintained by Sellers and their ERISA Affiliates as of the Closing Date or whose “qualifying event” within the meaning of Section 4980B(f) of the Code occurs on or prior to the Closing Date, whether pursuant to the provisions of COBRA or otherwise;

 

(f)            Nothing in this Section 7.6 shall (i) be treated as an amendment of, or undertaking to amend, any Employee Benefit Plan, (ii) obligate Buyer, any of Sellers, or any of their respective Affiliates to hire or retain the employment of any particular employee, or (iii) confer any rights or benefits on any Person, including any Business Employee, other than the Parties to this Agreement.

 

(g)           Buyer agrees to provide any required notice under the WARN Act and any similar state or non-United States statute, and otherwise to comply with any such statute with respect to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” (as defined in the WARN Act) or group termination, group relocation or similar event affecting Business Employees and occurring after the Closing Date.  At Closing, Sellers shall provide Buyer with a list of employees terminated within the ninety (90) days prior to the Closing Date at any of the Acquired Assets.

 

(h)           Buyer shall ensure that, as of the Closing Date, each Transferred Employee receives full credit (for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting, and vacation entitlement benefits, but excluding benefit accrual under any defined-benefit pension plan), for service with Sellers (or predecessor employers to the extent such past service credit is provided under the applicable employee benefit plan) under comparable employee benefit plans of Buyer or its Affiliates in which such Transferred Employee becomes a participant; provided, however, that no such service recognition will result in any duplication of benefits. With respect to each health or welfare benefit plan maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates for the benefit of any Transferred Employee, subject to any required approval of the applicable insurance provider, if any, which Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to procure, Buyer will cause to be waived any eligibility waiting periods, any evidence of insurability requirements and the application of any pre-existing condition limitations under such plan.

 

41

 

Section 7.7               Transition Services Agreement.

 

(a)           From the Closing Date to 120 days therefrom, (i) Buyer shall grant Sellers a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully transferable and fully sublicensable license to use the Transferred Intellectual Property (other than Trademarks containing the word “Overton’s”) owned by Buyer and (ii) Sellers shall retain the right to use all customer and supplier lists, other current and prospective customer information and data, marketing research and similar data transferred by Sellers to Buyer, in each case, solely as necessary in connection with sales of Sellers’ inventory at, or in transit to, Sellers’ locations that are not Closing Date Acquired Stores or Closing Date Business Properties (or otherwise not included in the Acquired Assets), including, without limitation, sales pursuant to the Consulting Agreement and the Liquidation Agreement.  Sellers use of any Trademarks included in the Transferred Intellectual Property under this Section 7.7(a) shall be (i) solely in connection with goods and services that are (x) the type of goods and services in connection with which Sellers were using such Trademarks immediately prior to the Closing, and (y) of the same level of quality of goods and services provided by Sellers immediately prior to the Closing, and (ii) subject to all style and other usage guidelines in effect for such Trademarks immediately prior to the Closing or otherwise reasonably established by Buyer; provided that nothing herein shall restrict the ability of Sellers to grant the licenses set forth in, or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the Consulting Agreement and Section 8.10 of the Liquidation Agreement. All goodwill associated with the use by Sellers of such Trademarks shall inure to the benefit of Buyer.

 

(b)           In connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Parties shall enter into the Transition Services Agreement, which will provide for the provision of transition services (i) by the Sellers as reasonably requested by Buyer to operate the Business in substantially the same manner as currently conducted (the “Transition Services”) and (ii) by Buyer as reasonably requested by Sellers or the Consultant or the Liquidating Agent to fulfill the obligations of the Sellers pursuant to the Consulting Agreement and the Liquidation Agreement solely with respect to any Acquired Assets (including, without limitation, any IT Assets) or Business Employees transferred to Buyer in accordance with this Agreement (collectively, the “Reverse Transition Services”); provided, however, that Buyer shall have no liability for any failure or delay to provide any Reverse Transition Service to the extent (x) such service is dependent on a Transition Service which is not properly provided by Sellers, (y) the provision of such service would violate applicable Law or breach any Contract to which Buyer is subject, or (z) such service was not provided by the Business as of the Closing Date; and provided, further, that Buyer shall have no obligation to provide any Reverse Transition Service at a greater volume or higher service level to that which was provided by the Business as of the Closing Date.

 

Section 7.8               Designation Rights.  Pursuant to the terms of the Designation Rights Agreement, Buyer shall have the right (the “Designation Rights”) to assign its rights and obligations hereunder with respect to any or all Real Property Leases to one or more third parties designated by Buyer (each, a “Designated Purchaser”) so long as Buyer complied with the Designation Rights Agreement with respect thereto and causes each Designated Purchaser to comply with the provisions of the Designation Rights Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and without any increase or decrease in the Purchase Price, upon the exercise of the Designation Rights by Buyer with respect to a Real Property Lease, Buyer

 

42

 

may revise this Agreement and any schedules setting forth the Assigned Real Property Leases, Assigned Stores and Business Properties, as applicable, to include in the definition of Acquired Assets and to exclude from the definition of Excluded Assets, such Real Property Lease not previously included in the Acquired Assets and require the Sellers to file a notice of assumption and assignment with the Bankruptcy Court and provide any necessary notice to the parties to any such Real Property Lease in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Sale Order.

 

Section 7.9               Personally Identifiable Information.  Buyer shall honor and observe, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Sellers’ Privacy Policies.

 

Section 7.10             Data Room. At or prior to the Closing, Sellers will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Buyer, two copies (on suitable electronic storage media) of the electronic data room(s) made available by Sellers to Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

 

Section 8.1                Taxes.

 

(a)           Any sales, use, property transfer or gains, documentary, stamp, registration, recording or similar Tax (including, for certainty, goods and services tax, harmonized sales tax and land transfer tax) payable in connection with the sale or transfer of the Acquired Assets (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne by Buyer and, to the extent any Seller is required by applicable Law to pay Transfer Taxes, such Transfer Taxes shall be paid by Buyer to the appropriate Seller at Closing.  Sellers and Buyer shall use reasonable efforts and cooperate in good faith to exempt the sale and transfer of the Acquired Assets from any such Transfer Taxes.  Sellers shall prepare and file all necessary Tax Returns or other documents with respect to all such Transfer Taxes; provided, however, that in the event any such Tax Return requires execution by Buyer, Sellers shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a copy of such Tax Return at least three (3) Business Days before the due date thereof, and Buyer shall promptly execute such Tax Return and deliver it to Sellers, which shall cause it to be filed.

 

(b)           Buyer shall be responsible for all real Property Taxes that are due and payable by Buyer after the Closing Date pursuant to any Assigned Real Property Lease.  For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall not be responsible for (and is not assuming any Liability under this Agreement for) any personal Property Taxes attributable to an assessment date prior to the Closing Date, including any such Taxes that are not due and payable by a Seller until a date after the Closing Date.  Further, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Buyer is not assuming any Liability for any sales or use or similar Taxes attributable to any transactions of Sellers prior to the Closing.

 

(c)           Buyer and Sellers agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Business and the Acquired Assets (including access to Documents) as is reasonably necessary for the

 

43

 

filing of all Tax Returns, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any taxing authority and the prosecution or defense of any claims, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax; provided, however, that (other than as required pursuant to this Section 8.1(b)) neither Buyer nor any Seller shall be required to disclose the contents of its income tax returns to any Person.  Any expenses incurred in furnishing such information or assistance pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) shall be borne by the Party requesting it.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, Buyer and Sellers hereby waive compliance with all “bulk sales,” “bulk transfer” and similar laws that may be applicable with respect to the sale and transfer of any or all of the Acquired Assets to Buyer.

 

Section 8.2               Payments Received. Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, each agree that, after the Closing, each will hold and will promptly transfer and deliver to the other, from time to time as and when received by them, any cash, checks with appropriate endorsements (using their best efforts not to convert such checks into cash) or other property that they may receive on or after the Closing which properly belongs to the other and will account to the other for all such receipts.

 

Section 8.3               Assigned Agreements; Adequate Assurance of Future Performance. With respect to each Assigned Agreement, Buyer shall provide adequate assurance as required under the Bankruptcy Code of the future performance by Buyer of each such Assigned Agreement.  Buyer and Sellers agree that they will promptly take all actions reasonably required to assist in obtaining a Bankruptcy Court finding that there has been an adequate demonstration of adequate assurance of future performance under the Assigned Agreements, such as furnishing affidavits, non-confidential financial information and other documents or information for filing with the Bankruptcy Court and making Buyer’s and Sellers’ Representatives available to testify before the Bankruptcy Court.

 

Section 8.4               Post-Closing Books and Records and Personnel. For twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, (a) neither Buyer nor any Seller shall dispose of or destroy any of the business records and files of the Business and (b) Buyer and Sellers (including, for clarity, any trust established under a Chapter 11 plan of Sellers or any other successors of Sellers) shall allow each other and their respective Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, and upon reasonable advance notice and to the extent permitted by applicable law, to all employees, files and any books and records and other materials included in the Acquired Assets for purposes relating to the Bankruptcy Cases, the wind-down of the operations of Sellers, the functions of any such trusts or successors, or other reasonable business purposes, including Tax matters, litigation, or potential litigation, each as it relates to the Business, the Acquired Stores, the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, and Buyer and Sellers (including any such trust or successors) and such Representatives shall have the right to make copies of any such files, books, records and other materials.  In addition, from and after the Closing for a period of 60 days, Sellers will permit Buyer and its Representatives access to such personnel of Sellers during normal business hours as Buyer may reasonably request to assist with the transfer of the Acquired Assets, including Inventory, Documents, Equipment, Permits and Petty Cash, provided that nothing in this Section 8.4 shall prohibit Sellers from ceasing operations or winding up their affairs following the Closing.

 

44

 

Section 8.5            Confidentiality.  The terms of any confidentiality agreement to which Buyer (or an Affiliate of Buyer) is party in respect of any Seller (or any Affiliate thereof) shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing, at which time Buyer’s obligations under any such confidentiality agreement shall terminate only insofar as they pertain to the Acquired Assets.

 

Section 8.6            DIP Financing.   Sellers shall use their reasonable best efforts not to violate the terms and conditions of the DIP Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of any Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

Buyer shall have received a certificate of Sellers, signed by a duly authorized officer of Sellers, to that effect.

(a)           by mutual written consent of Sellers and Buyer; or

 

(b)           by either Sellers or Buyer:

 

(i)            if the Bankruptcy Court rules that it does not approve this Agreement for any reason or if a Governmental Authority issues a final, non-appealable ruling or Final Order permanently prohibiting the transactions contemplated hereby, provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any Party whose breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein results in such ruling or Order;

 

(ii)           if the Closing shall not have occurred by the close of business on May 26, 2017 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to any Party whose breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein results in the failure of the Closing to be consummated by such time;

(c)           by Buyer:

 

(i)            in the event of any breach by any Seller of any of its agreements, covenants, representations or warranties contained herein that would result in the failure of a condition set forth in Article IX to be satisfied, and the failure of Sellers to cure such breach by the earlier of (A) the Outside Date and (B) the date that is fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Buyer Termination Notice; provided, however, that (1) Buyer is not in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein in a manner that would result in the failure of a condition set forth in Article X to be satisfied, (2) Buyer notifies Sellers in writing (the “Buyer Termination Notice”) of its intention to exercise its rights under this Section 11.1(c)(i) as a result of the breach, and (3) Buyer specifies in the Buyer Termination Notice the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein of which Sellers are allegedly in breach;

 

(ii)           if the Bankruptcy Case is dismissed or converted to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and neither such dismissal nor conversion expressly contemplates the consummation of the transactions provided for in this Agreement; or

 

(iii)          if any conditions to the obligations of Buyer set forth in Article IX shall have become incapable of fulfillment other than as a result of a breach by Buyer of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement; or

 

(d)           by Sellers:

 

(i)            except as provided in Section 11.1(d)(ii), in the event of any breach by Buyer of any of its agreements, covenants, representations or warranties contained herein that would result in the failure of a condition set forth in Article X to be satisfied, and the failure of Buyer to cure such breach by the earlier of (A) the Outside Date and (B) the date that is fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Sellers Termination Notice; provided, however, that Sellers (1) are not themselves in material breach of any of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein, (2) notify Buyer in writing (the “Sellers Termination Notice”) of their intention to exercise their rights under this Section 11.1(d)(i) as a result of the breach, and (3) specify in the Sellers

 

48

 

Termination Notice the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein of which Buyer is allegedly in breach; or

 

(ii)           if the Sale Order with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been entered and is not subject to any stay on enforcement and (A) Sellers have provided Buyer with written notice that they are prepared to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (B) the conditions to Closing in Article IX have been satisfied (or waived by Buyer), other than those conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied at Closing, and (C) the Closing Date does not occur within three (3) Business Days of Sellers providing Buyer with such notice.

 

Section 11.2          Effect of Termination. (i)   If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.1(d)(i) or Section 11.1(d)(ii), the Minimum Deposit shall be retained by Sellers for their own account as damages specifically.

ARTICLE XII
  
 GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

Section 12.1              Public Announcements. The initial press release relating to this Agreement shall be a joint press release, the text of which shall be agreed to by Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand.  Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, shall consult with each other before issuing any other press release or otherwise making any public statement with respect to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the activities and operations of the other and shall not issue any such release or make any such statement without the prior written consent of the other (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit any Party from issuing or causing publication of any such press release or public announcement to the extent that it determines in good faith that such disclosure is required by Law or Order or pursuant to the requirements of any exchange with which such Party’ securities may be listed, following consultation with counsel (including any filings required to be made by any of the Parties or their respective Affiliates on Form 8-K, Schedule 13D or otherwise pursuant to securities Laws), in which case the Party making such determination shall, if practicable under the circumstances, use reasonable efforts to allow the other Party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of its issuance or filing (it being understood and hereby agreed that the final form and content of any such release or announcement, as well as the timing of any such release or announcement, shall be at the final discretion of the disclosing party).

Section 12.3             Amendment; Waiver. No amendment, modification or discharge of this Agreement, and no waiver hereunder, shall be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and duly executed by the Party against whom enforcement of the amendment, modification, discharge or waiver is sought and such amendment, modification, discharge or waiver is delivered substantially contemporaneously to each other Party; provided that any modification to any provision that would adversely affect the Consultant or the Liquidating Agent in any material respect shall also require the written agreement of the Consultant or the Liquidating Agent, as applicable.  Any such waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in such writing and shall in no way impair the rights of the Party granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time.  Neither the waiver by any of the Parties of a breach of or a default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure by any of the Parties, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder shall be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder.  No course of dealing between or among the Parties shall be deemed effective to modify, amend or discharge any part of this Agreement or any rights to payment of any Party under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

Section 12.4             Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules and the Exhibits), the Liquidation Agreement, the Consulting Agreement and the other Transaction Documents contain all of the terms, conditions and representations and warranties agreed to by the Parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations, correspondence, undertakings and communications of the Parties or their representatives, oral or written, respecting such subject matter.  The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement (including the Schedules and the Exhibits) and the other Transaction Documents are intended, among other things, to allocate the economic cost and the risks inherent in the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including risks associated with matters as to which the party making such representations and warranties has no knowledge or only incomplete knowledge, and such representations and warranties may be qualified by disclosures contained in the Schedules.  Consequently, Persons other than the Parties may not rely upon the representations

 

51

 

and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

 

Section 12.5             No Presumption as to Drafting. Each of the parties acknowledges that it has been represented by legal counsel in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.  Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents against the drafting party has no application and is expressly waived.

 

Section 12.6             Assignment. This Agreement, and the rights, interests and obligations hereunder, shall not be assigned by any Party by operation of law or otherwise without the express written consent of the other Parties (which consent maybe granted or withheld in the sole discretion of such other Party); provided, however, that Buyer shall be permitted, upon prior notice to Sellers, to assign all or part of its rights or obligations hereunder to an Affiliate, but no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

Section 12.7             Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.  If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability.

 

Section 12.8             Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue; Jury Trial Waiver.

 

(a)           Except to the extent the mandatory provisions of the Bankruptcy Code apply, this Agreement and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to Contracts made and to be performed entirely in such state without regard to principles of conflicts or choice of laws or any other law that would make the laws of any other jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware applicable hereto.

 

(b)           Without limitation of any Party’s right to appeal any Order of the Bankruptcy Court, (i) the Bankruptcy Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this Agreement and to decide any claims or disputes which may arise or result from, or be connected with, this Agreement, any breach or default hereunder, or the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) any and all claims relating to the foregoing shall be filed and maintained only in the Bankruptcy Court, and the Parties hereby consent and submit to the

 

52

 

exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Bankruptcy Court and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such Proceeding; provided, however, that, if the Bankruptcy Case is closed, all Proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined in a Delaware state court or a federal court sitting in the State of Delaware, and the Parties hereby (a) irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state court or federal court in the State of Delaware (including any appellate courts therefrom) with respect to all Proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby (whether based on contract, tort or other theory); (b) agree that all claims with respect to any such Proceeding shall be heard and determined in such courts and agrees not to commence any Proceeding relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether based on contract, tort or other theory) except in such courts; (c) irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any Proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and irrevocably and unconditionally waives the defense of an inconvenient forum; and (d) agree that a final judgment in any such Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.  The Parties agree that any violation of this Section 12.8(b) shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and shall constitute irreparable harm.

 

(c)           EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY 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 (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 12.8.

 

Section 12.9             Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including via facsimile or other electronic transmission in portable document format (pdf)) with the same effect as if the signatures to each counterpart were upon a single instrument, and all such counterparts together shall be deemed an original of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall become effective when, and only when, each Party shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Party.  Delivery of an executed counterpart hereof by means of facsimile or electronic transmission in portable document format (pdf) shall have the same effect as delivery of a physically executed counterpart in person.

 

Section 12.10           Parties in Interest; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except with respect to the Consultant and the Liquidating Agent (which, for the avoidance of doubt, are third-party beneficiaries of the applicable provisions hereof), nothing in this Agreement shall confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations, liabilities or claims hereunder upon any Person not a Party or a permitted assignee of a Party.

 

53

 

Section 12.11           Non-Recourse. All claims, obligations, liabilities or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity or granted by statute) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with or relate in any manner to this Agreement, the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in connection with or as an inducement to this Agreement) or the transactions contemplated hereby may be made only against (and are those solely of) the Persons that are expressly identified as Parties to this Agreement.  No other Person, including any of their Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, incorporators, members, partners, managers, stockholders, agents, attorneys, or representatives of, or any financial advisors or lenders to, any of the foregoing shall have any liabilities (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) for any claims, causes of action, obligations or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to, this Agreement or based on, in respect of, or by reason of, this Agreement or its negotiation, execution, performance or breach.

 

Section 12.12           Schedules; Materiality. The inclusion of any matter in any Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed in any other Schedule to the extent that it is readily apparent on the face of such disclosure that such disclosure is applicable to such other Schedule, but inclusion therein shall not be deemed to constitute an admission, or otherwise imply, that any such matter is material or creates a measure for materiality for purposes of this Agreement.  The disclosure of any particular fact or item in any Schedule shall not be deemed an admission as to whether the fact or item is “material” or would constitute a “Material Adverse Effect.”

 

Section 12.13           Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) irreparable injury, for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, will occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with the specific terms hereof or are otherwise breached, and (b) the non-breaching Party or Parties shall therefore be entitled, in addition to any other remedies that may be available, to obtain (without the posting of any bond) specific performance of the terms of this Agreement.  If any Proceeding is brought by the non-breaching Party or Parties to enforce this Agreement, the Party in breach shall waive the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

 

Section 12.14           Survival. All covenants and agreements contained herein which by their terms are to be performed in whole or in part, or which prohibit actions, subsequent to the Closing shall survive the Closing in accordance with their terms.  All other covenants and agreements contained herein, and all representations and warranties contained herein or in any certificated deliveries hereunder, shall not survive the Closing, and shall thereupon terminate.

 

Section 12.15           Covenant to Assist.  Sellers agree that, from and after entry of the Sale Order, they shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in enforcing and seeking enforcement of the Sale Order.

Section 2.2Euro Fronting Loans.

Section 2.2.1Euro Fronting Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.2, upon a request for a Euro Borrowing in an Alternative Currency or to a Foreign Borrower in compliance with Section 2.1, each Fronting Lender agrees, subject to the limitations set forth below, to fund its Fronting Portion of such Euro Borrowing in the requested currency with respect to such Euro Borrowing and in the amount of each Euro Non-Qualified Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage for such Euro Borrowing (each a “Euro Fronting Loan”), notwithstanding the fact that, after giving effect to such funding, all Euro Fronting Loans of such Fronting Lender, when aggregated with the Euro Loans of such Fronting Lender, may exceed the amount of such Fronting Lender’s Euro Commitment; provided that (a) after giving effect to any Euro Fronting Loan, the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of all Fronting Loans funded by such Fronting Lender shall not exceed the Fronting Commitment of such Fronting Lender and (b) such Fronting Lender shall not be a Euro Non-Qualified Lender with respect to such Euro Borrowing.  Immediately upon the making of a Euro Fronting Loan, the applicable Euro Non-Qualified Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such Fronting Lender a risk participation in 100% of such Euro Fronting Loan.  The obligation of each Euro Non-Qualified Lender to make Euro Loans in an Alternative Currency or to a Foreign Borrower under Section 2.1 shall be satisfied by its purchase of a risk participation in the applicable Euro Fronting Loan; it being understood that no Euro Non-Qualified Lender shall be responsible for, or be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender or otherwise in breach of this Agreement as a result of, the failure by a Fronting Lender to make a Fronting Loan in which such Euro Non-Qualified Lender is to purchase a risk participation.

Section 2.2.2Election of Fronting Lenders.  (a)  Upon a request for a Euro Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.3 in an Alternative Currency or to a Foreign Borrower with respect to which there are Euro Non-Qualified Lenders, there shall be a Fronting Lender Election.  If, based on the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.2.1 or the last two sentences of Section 2.2.2(b) (the “Euro Fronting Limitations”), the Fronting Commitments are not sufficient to fund all of the requested Euro Fronting Loans in such Alternative Currency or to such Foreign Borrower, then the applicable Euro Borrower shall, within one Business Day after notice by Administrative Agent of such insufficiency, decrease the amount of the requested Euro Borrowing to the amount that would result in utilization of the maximum available Fronting Commitments, subject to the Euro Fronting Limitations and, if applicable, after giving effect to the following sentence. If one or more Euro Lenders are Euro Non-Qualified Lenders solely because such Euro Lenders are not capable of making requested Euro Loans to a Foreign Borrower without the imposition of withholding taxes (each a “Euro Specified Lender”), such Borrower may, within one Business Day after notice by Administrative Agent of the insufficiency, notify Administrative Agent that it will accept responsibility for such withholding taxes with respect to such Euro Borrowing, in which case (i) Administrative Agent and the Fronting Lenders shall allocate the available Fronting Commitments (A) first, to cover any portion of such Borrowing that will not be funded by a Euro Lender because it is a Non-Qualified Lender for a reason other than potential withholding taxes and (B) then, to cover the remaining amount of such Borrowing, in each case up to the maximum available Fronting Commitments, subject to the Euro Fronting Limitations, (ii) the participations in any Fronting Loans made pursuant to clause (i)(B) above shall be allocated among the Euro Specified Lenders pro rata according to their respective Euro Commitments, (iii) each Euro Specified Lender shall 

 

			
	
 
	
42
	
 

16257277_9

 

fund its pro rata share of such Borrowing to the extent not funded by the Fronting Lenders and (iv) such Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Euro Specified Lender for any withholding tax arising from such Borrowing in accordance with Section 7.1.

(b)Each Non-Qualified Japan Lender with respect to the Euro Tranche (i) represents and warrants to each applicable Fronting Lender that (A) the purchase of a risk participation in such Fronting Loan by such Non-Qualified Japan Lender and (B) the funding of such risk participation in such Fronting Loan by such Non-Qualified Japan Lender will not violate any applicable Law (including any Law of Japan), and (ii) agrees to indemnify such Fronting Lender for all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for such Fronting Lender) incurred by such Fronting Lender or asserted against such Fronting Lender arising from any Fronting Loan made by such Fronting Lender pursuant to Section 2.2.1.  Without limiting the foregoing, no Fronting Lender shall be obligated to make any Fronting Loan pursuant to Section 2.2.1 if such Fronting Lender determines that any representation or warranty of the applicable Non-Qualified Japan Lender in clause (i) of the preceding sentence is not accurate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2.2(b), no Fronting Lender shall make a Fronting Loan in which a Non-Qualified Japan Lender would be required to purchase a risk participation if such Non-Qualified Japan Lender has notified such Fronting Lender at least two Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing (with copies to Administrative Agent and Prologis) that, as a result of a Change in Law, such Lender cannot make the representation and warranty set forth in the first sentence of this Section 2.2.2(b).

Section 2.2.3Refinancing of the Euro Fronting Loans.

(a)(i)       On the Trigger Date, Administrative Agent shall notify each Euro Non-Qualified Lender of its obligation to fund its participation in each applicable Euro Fronting Loan.  Each applicable Euro Non-Qualified Lender shall make the amount of its participation in each applicable Euro Fronting Loan specified in such notice available to Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the applicable Fronting Lender at Administrative Agent’s Office for payments in the same currency as the applicable Euro Fronting Loan not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice.

     (ii)      To the extent that a Euro Non-Qualified Lender that has a risk participation in a Euro Fronting Loan assigns all or part of its interest in such risk participation under Section 14.6 to a Euro Qualified Lender for purposes of such Euro Fronting Loan, then such Euro Qualified Lender shall make the amount of its assigned participation in such Euro Fronting Loan available to Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the applicable Fronting Lender at Administrative Agent’s Office for payments in the same currency as the applicable Euro Fronting Loan not later than 1:00 p.m., on the third Business Day following the effective date of the assignment.

(b)If any applicable Euro Lender fails to make available to any Fronting Lender any amount required to be paid by such Euro Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2.3 by the time specified in Section 2.2.3(a), such Fronting Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Euro Lender (acting through Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount in the same currency as the applicable Euro Fronting Loan with interest thereon for the period 

 

			
	
 
	
43
	
 

16257277_9

 

from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Fronting Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.  A certificate of a Fronting Lender submitted to any applicable Euro Lender (through Administrative Agent) with respect to any amount owing under this clause (b) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c)Each applicable Euro Lender’s obligation to purchase and fund risk participations in Euro Fronting Loans pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Euro Lender may have against the applicable Fronting Lender, any Euro Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.  No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of any Euro Borrower to repay any Fronting Lender, together with interest as provided herein.

(d)At any time after any Euro Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Euro Fronting Loan, if the applicable Fronting Lender receives any payment on account of such Euro Fronting Loan, such Fronting Lender will distribute to such Euro Lender such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Euro Lender’s participation was funded) in the same funds and currency as those received by such Fronting Lender.

(e)If any payment received by any Fronting Lender (and paid to a Euro Lender) in respect of principal of or interest on any Euro Fronting Loan is required to be returned by such Fronting Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 14.5 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Fronting Lender in its discretion), such Euro Lender shall pay to such Fronting Lender in the applicable currency of such Euro Fronting Loan the amount of such payment in respect of such Euro Fronting Loan on demand of 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 applicable Overnight Rate.  Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the applicable Fronting Lender.  The obligations of Euro Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.2.4Payments for Account of the Applicable Fronting Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, until the applicable Euro Lender funds its risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.2 to refinance such Euro Lender’s applicable Euro Fronting Loan, all payments made hereunder in respect of the portion of any Euro Loan that was funded in part by a Fronting Lender shall be solely for the account of the applicable Fronting Lender.

Section 2.2.5Defaulting Lender.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Fronting Lender shall be required to make a Euro Fronting Loan with respect to which there is a Euro Non-Qualified Lender that is a Defaulting Lender at the time of the receipt by Administrative Agent of the applicable Euro Loan Notice or at any time prior to the funding of such Euro Fronting Loan.  In addition, to the extent (a) a Euro Fronting Loan is outstanding, (b) a Euro Non-Qualified Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender and (c) the applicable Fronting Lender makes a 

 

			
	
 
	
44
	
 

16257277_9

 

demand for repayment to the applicable Euro Borrower, then such Euro Borrower shall repay such Euro Fronting Loan (i) on or before the earlier of (A) 30 days following receipt of such demand or (B) the fifth day following the last day of the applicable Interest Period ending after receipt of such demand or (ii) if no Interest Period is in effect with respect to such Euro Fronting Loan, within ten days following receipt of such demand.  If any such Euro Fronting Loan is not repaid in full on the last day of an Interest Period (if applicable or required under clause (i)(B) above), subject to Section 6.5.2, such Euro Fronting Loan shall bear interest at the Money Market Rate plus the Applicable Margin until such payment is made hereunder.

Each such notice must be received by Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (a) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Euro Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of, Eurocurrency Rate Loans (other than a Euro Borrowing denominated in Yen), (b) four Business Days prior to the requested date of any Euro Borrowing denominated in Yen or any continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Yen, and (c) one Business Day prior to the requested date of any Euro Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars to Base Rate Loans. Each Euro Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount permitted by Section 6.1.1. Each Euro Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount permitted by Section 6.1.1. Each Euro Loan Notice shall specify (i) the jurisdiction of the applicable Euro Borrower and whether such Borrower is a Foreign Borrower, (ii) whether the applicable Euro Borrower is requesting a Euro Borrowing, a conversion of Euro Loans denominated in Dollars from one Type of Dollar-denominated Loans to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (iii) the requested date of the Euro Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) the principal amount of Euro Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (v) the Type of Euro Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Euro Loans denominated in Dollars are to be converted, (vi) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (vii) the currency of the Euro Loans to be borrowed or continued.

will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. No Euro Loan may be converted into or continued as a Euro Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be repaid in the original currency of such Euro Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.

Section 2.3.2Funding of Euro Loans.  Following receipt of a Euro Loan Notice, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Euro Lender of the amount (and currency) of its Applicable Tranche Percentage of the applicable Euro Borrowings, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the applicable Euro Borrower, Administrative Agent shall notify each Euro Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuations of Euro Loans denominated in a currency other than Dollars, in each case as described in Section 2.3.1.  In the case of a Euro Borrowing, each Euro Qualified Lender and the applicable Fronting Lender, if any, shall make the amount of its Euro Loan available to Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than 11:00 a.m., in the case of any Euro Loan denominated in any Euro or Sterling, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by Administrative Agent in the case of any Euro Loan in an Alternative Currency, other than Sterling, under the Euro Tranche, in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable Euro Loan Notice.  Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2, Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the applicable Euro Borrower in like funds as received by Administrative Agent either by (a) crediting the account of such Euro Borrower on the books of Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (b) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) Administrative Agent by such Euro Borrower.

Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan.  During the existence of a Default, the Euro Required Lenders may at their option, by notice to the Euro Borrowers (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Euro Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 14.1), declare that (a) no Euro Loans denominated in Dollars may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and (b) no Euro Loans denominated in any other currency may be requested or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans, other than as Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month.

Section 2.3.5Number of Interest Periods.

Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Euro Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurocurrency Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Eurocurrency Rate Loans.  Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Euro Lender and each Euro Fronting Lender, as applicable, of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Euro Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage of such prepayment.  If such notice is given by such Euro Borrower, then such Euro Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.  Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amount required pursuant to Section 7.5.  Subject to Sections 2.2.4 and 6.8.3, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Euro Loans of Euro Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.

Section 2.4.2Prepayments Due to Currency Fluctuations.  Administrative Agent shall calculate the Euro Equivalent of the Euro Total Outstandings on each applicable Revaluation Date.  If on the Revaluation Date that occurs on the first Business Day of each calendar month, or such other times as Administrative Agent may determine in its reasonable discretion, such calculation reflects that, as of such Revaluation Date, the Euro Equivalent of the Euro Total Outstandings exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Euro Aggregate Commitments then in effect, then, within five Business Days after notice of such calculation from Administrative Agent to Prologis, Euro Borrowers shall prepay the Euro Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce the Euro Equivalent of such Euro Total Outstandings as of such date of payment to an amount not exceeding 100% of the Euro Aggregate Commitments then in effect. Subject to Section 2.2.4, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Euro Loans of Euro Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.

Section 2.4.3Other Prepayments.  If, on any date other than the Maturity Date, the Euro Equivalent of the Euro Total Outstandings exceeds the Euro Aggregate Commitments then in effect and such excess is not due to a currency exchange fluctuation covered under Section 2.4.2, then, within two Business Days after notice from Administrative Agent to Prologis, Euro Borrowers shall prepay the Euro Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce the Euro Equivalent of such Euro Total Outstandings as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed the Euro Aggregate Commitments then in effect, without regard to any minimum or multiples specified in Section 6.1.2 with respect to prepayments. Subject to Section 2.2.4, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Euro Loans of Euro Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.

Section 3.1   U.S. Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including Section 3.2), each U.S. Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “U.S. Loan”) under the U.S. Tranche to each U.S. Borrower in Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies of the U.S. Tranche, 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 U.S. Lender’s U.S. Commitment; provided that after giving effect to any U.S. Borrowing, (a) the U.S. Total Outstandings shall not exceed the U.S. Aggregate Commitments and (b) the U.S. Credit Exposure of any U.S. Lender shall not exceed such U.S. Lender’s U.S. Commitment.  Within the limits of each U.S. Lender’s U.S. Commitment, U.S. Borrowers may borrow under this Section 3.1, prepay under Section 3.4 and reborrow under this Section 3.1.  U.S. Loans denominated in Dollars may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans and U.S. Loans denominated in any other Alternative Currency may be Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, solely upon the occurrence of an event described in Section 7.2 or 7.3, Substitute Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

Section 3.2   U.S. Fronting Loans.

Section 3.2.1U.S. Fronting Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.2, upon a request for a U.S. Borrowing in an Alternative Currency or to a Foreign Borrower in compliance with Section 3.1, each Fronting Lender agrees, subject to the limitations set forth below, to fund its Fronting Portion of such U.S. Borrowing in the requested currency with respect to such U.S. Borrowing and in the amount of each U.S. Non-Qualified Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage for such U.S. Borrowing (each a “U.S. Fronting Loan”), notwithstanding the fact that, after giving effect to such funding, all U.S. Fronting Loans of such Fronting Lender, when aggregated with the U.S. Loans of such Fronting Lender, may exceed the amount of such Fronting Lender’s U.S. Commitment; provided that (a) after giving effect to any U.S. Fronting Loan, the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of all Fronting Loans funded by such Fronting Lender shall not exceed the Fronting Commitment of such Fronting Lender, and (b) such Fronting Lender shall not be a U.S. Non-Qualified Lender with respect to such U.S. Borrowing.  Immediately upon the making of a U.S. Fronting Loan, the applicable U.S. Non-Qualified Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such Fronting Lender a risk participation in 100% of such U.S. Fronting Loan.  The obligation of each U.S. Non-Qualified Lender to make U.S. Loans in an Alternative Currency or to a Foreign Borrower under Section 3.1 shall be satisfied by its purchase of a risk participation in the applicable U.S. Fronting Loan; it being understood that no U.S. Non-Qualified Lender shall be responsible for, or be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender or otherwise in breach of this Agreement as a result of, the failure by a Fronting Lender to make a Fronting Loan in which such U.S. Non-Qualified Lender is to purchase a risk participation.

Section 3.2.2Election of Fronting Lenders.  (a)  Upon a request for a U.S. Borrowing in accordance with Section 3.3 in an Alternative Currency or to a Foreign Borrower with respect to which there are U.S. Non-Qualified Lenders, there shall be a Fronting Lender Election.  If, based on the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 3.2.1 or the last two sentences of Section 3.2.2(b) (the “U.S. Fronting Limitations”), the Fronting Commitments are

16257277_9

 

not sufficient to fund all of the requested U.S. Fronting Loans in such Alternative Currency or to such Foreign Borrower, then the applicable U.S. Borrower shall, within one Business Day after notice by Administrative Agent of such insufficiency, decrease the amount of the requested U.S. Borrowing to the amount that would result in utilization of the maximum available Fronting Commitments, subject to the U.S. Fronting Limitations and, if applicable, after giving effect to the following sentence.  If one or more U.S. Lenders are U.S. Non-Qualified Lenders solely because such U.S. Lenders are not capable of making requested U.S. Loans to a Foreign Borrower without the imposition of withholding taxes (each a “U.S. Specified Lender”), such Borrower may, within one Business Day after notice by Administrative Agent of the insufficiency, notify Administrative Agent that it will accept responsibility for such withholding taxes with respect to such U.S. Borrowing, in which case (i) Administrative Agent and the Fronting Lenders shall allocate the available Fronting Commitments (A) first, to cover any portion of such Borrowing that will not be funded by a U.S. Lender because it is a Non-Qualified Lender for a reason other than potential withholding taxes and (B) then, to cover the remaining amount of such Borrowing, in each case up to the maximum available Fronting Commitments, subject to the U.S. Fronting Limitations, (ii) the participations in any Fronting Loans made pursuant to clause (i)(B) above shall be allocated among the U.S. Specified Lenders pro rata according to their respective U.S. Commitments, (iii) each U.S. Specified Lender shall fund its pro rata share of such Borrowing to the extent not funded by the Fronting Lenders and (iv) such Borrower shall pay or reimburse each U.S. Specified Lender for any withholding tax arising from such Borrowing in accordance with Section 7.1.

(b)Each Non-Qualified Japan Lender with respect to the U.S. Tranche (i) represents and warrants to each applicable Fronting Lender that (A) the purchase of a risk participation in such Fronting Loan by such Non-Qualified Japan Lender and (B) the funding of such risk participation in such Fronting Loan by such Non-Qualified Japan Lender will not violate any applicable Law (including any Law of Japan), and (ii) agrees to indemnify such Fronting Lender for all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for such Fronting Lender) incurred by such Fronting Lender or asserted against such Fronting Lender arising from any Fronting Loan made by such Fronting Lender pursuant to Section 3.2.1.  Without limiting the foregoing, no Fronting Lender shall be obligated to make any Fronting Loan pursuant to Section 3.2.1 if such Fronting Lender determines that any representation or warranty of the applicable Non-Qualified Japan Lender in clause (i) of the preceding sentence is not accurate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2.2(b), no Fronting Lender shall make a Fronting Loan in which a Non-Qualified Japan Lender would be required to purchase a risk participation if such Non-Qualified Japan Lender has notified such Fronting Lender at least two Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing (with copies to Administrative Agent and Prologis) that, as a result of a Change in Law, such Lender cannot make the representation and warranty set forth in the first sentence of this Section 3.2.2(b).

Section 3.2.3Refinancing of the U.S. Fronting Loans.

(a)(i)       On the Trigger Date, Administrative Agent shall notify each U.S. Non-Qualified Lender of its obligation to fund its participation in each applicable U.S. Fronting Loan.  Each applicable U.S. Non-Qualified Lender shall make the amount of its participation in each applicable U.S. Fronting Loan specified in such notice available to Administrative Agent in

16257277_9

 

Same Day Funds for the account of the applicable Fronting Lender at Administrative Agent’s Office for payments in the same currency as the applicable U.S. Fronting Loan not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice.

     (ii)       To the extent that a U.S. Non-Qualified Lender that has a risk participation in a U.S. Fronting Loan assigns all or part of its interest in such risk participation under Section 14.6 to a U.S. Qualified Lender for purposes of such U.S. Fronting Loan, then such U.S. Qualified Lender shall make the amount of its assigned participation in such U.S. Fronting Loan available to Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the applicable Fronting Lender at Administrative Agent’s Office for payments in the same currency as the applicable U.S. Fronting Loan not later than 1:00 p.m. on the third Business Day following the effective date of the assignment.

(b)If any applicable U.S. Lender fails to make available to any Fronting Lender any amount required to be paid by such U.S. Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2.3 by the time specified in Section 3.2.3(a), such Fronting Lender shall be entitled to recover from such U.S. Lender (acting through Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount in the same currency as the applicable U.S. Fronting Loan with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Fronting Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.  A certificate of a Fronting Lender submitted to any applicable U.S. Lender (through Administrative Agent) with respect to any amount owing under this clause (b) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c)Each applicable U.S. Lender’s obligation to purchase and fund risk participations in U.S. Fronting Loans pursuant to this Section 3.2.3 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such U.S. Lender may have against the applicable Fronting Lender, any U.S. Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.  No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of any U.S. Borrower to repay any Fronting Lender, together with interest as provided herein.

(d)At any time after any U.S. Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a U.S. Fronting Loan, if the applicable Fronting Lender receives any payment on account of such U.S. Fronting Loan, such Fronting Lender will distribute to such U.S. Lender such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such U.S. Lender’s participation was funded) in the same funds and currency as those received by such Fronting Lender.

(e)If any payment received by any Fronting Lender (and paid to a U.S. Lender) in respect of principal of or interest on any U.S. Fronting Loan is required to be returned by such Fronting Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 14.5 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Fronting Lender in its discretion), such U.S. Lender shall pay to such Fronting Lender in the applicable currency of such Fronting Loan the amount of such payment in respect of such U.S. Fronting Loan on demand of 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 applicable Overnight Rate.  Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the applicable Fronting Lender.  The obligations of the applicable U.S. Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 3.2.4Payments for Account of the Applicable Fronting Lender.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, until the applicable U.S. Lender funds its risk participation pursuant to this Section 3.2 to refinance such U.S. Lender’s applicable U.S. Fronting Loan, all payments made hereunder in respect of the portion of any U.S. Loan that was funded in part by a Fronting Lender shall be solely for the account of the applicable Fronting Lender.

Section 3.2.5Defaulting Lender.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Fronting Lender shall be required to make a U.S. Fronting Loan with respect to which there is a U.S. Non-Qualified Lender that is a Defaulting Lender at the time of the receipt by Administrative Agent of the applicable U.S. Loan Notice or at any time prior to the funding of such U.S. Fronting Loan.  In addition, to the extent (a) a U.S. Fronting Loan is outstanding, (b) a U.S. Non-Qualified Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender and (c) the applicable Fronting Lender makes a demand for repayment to the applicable U.S. Borrower, then such U.S. Borrower shall repay such U.S. Fronting Loan (i) on or before the earlier of (A) 30 days following receipt of such demand or (B) the fifth day following the last day of the applicable Interest Period ending after receipt of such demand or (ii) if no Interest Period is in effect with respect to such U.S. Fronting Loan, within ten days following receipt of such demand.  If any such U.S. Fronting Loan is not repaid in full on the last day of an Interest Period (if applicable or required under clause (i)(B) above), subject to Section 6.5.2, such U.S. Fronting Loan shall bear interest at the Money Market Rate plus the Applicable Margin until such payment is made hereunder.

Section 3.3   U.S. Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of U.S. Loans.

Section 3.3.1Procedures for U.S. Borrowings.  Each U.S. Borrowing, each conversion of U.S. Loans denominated in Dollars from one Type of Dollar-denominated Loans to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the requesting U.S. Borrower’s irrevocable notice to Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) a U.S. Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to Administrative Agent of a U.S. Loan Notice. Each such notice must be received by Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (a) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any U.S. Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (other than a U.S. Borrowing denominated in Yen), (b) four Business Days prior to the requested date of any U.S. Borrowing denominated in Yen or any continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Yen, and (c) on the Business Day of the requested date of any U.S. Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars to Base Rate Loans. Each U.S. Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount permitted by Section 6.1.1. Each U.S. Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount permitted by Section 6.1.1. Each U.S. Loan Notice shall specify (i) the jurisdiction of the applicable U.S. Borrower and whether such Borrower is a Foreign Borrower, (ii) whether such U.S. Borrower is requesting a U.S.

16257277_9

 

Borrowing, a conversion of U.S. Loans denominated in Dollars from one Type of Dollar-denominated Loans to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (iii) the requested date of the U.S. Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) the principal amount of U.S. Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (v) the Type of U.S. Loans to be borrowed or to which existing U.S. Loans denominated in Dollars are to be converted, (vi) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (vii) the currency of the U.S. Loans to be borrowed, continued or converted. If the requesting U.S. Borrower fails to specify a currency in a U.S. Loan Notice requesting a U.S. Borrowing, then the U.S. Loans so requested shall be made in Dollars. If the requesting U.S. Borrower fails to specify a Type of U.S. Loan in a U.S. Loan Notice or if the requesting U.S. Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable U.S. 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 U.S. Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency of the U.S. Tranche, such U.S. Loans shall be continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one month. Any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the requesting U.S. Borrower requests a U.S. Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such U.S. Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. No U.S. Loan may be converted into or continued as a U.S. Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be repaid in the original currency of such U.S. Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.

Section 3.3.2Funding of U.S. Loans.  Following receipt of a U.S. Loan Notice, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each U.S. Lender of the amount and currency of its Applicable Tranche Percentage of the applicable U.S. Borrowing, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the applicable U.S. Borrower, Administrative Agent shall notify each U.S. Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation of U.S. Loans denominated in a currency other than Dollars, in each case as described in Section 3.3.1.  In the case of a U.S. Borrowing, each U.S. Qualified Lender and the applicable Fronting Lender, if any, shall make the amount of its U.S. Loan available to Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than 1:00 p.m., in the case of any U.S. Loan denominated in Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by Administrative Agent in the case of any U.S. Loan in an Alternative Currency under the U.S. Tranche, in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable U.S. Loan Notice.  Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2, Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the applicable U.S. Borrower in like funds as received by Administrative Agent either by (a) crediting the account of such U.S. Borrower on the books of Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (b) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) Administrative Agent by such U.S. Borrower.

Section 3.3.3Certain Continuations and Conversions.  Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan.  During the existence of a Default, the U.S. Required Lenders may at their option, by notice to the U.S. Borrowers (which notice may be revoked at the option of the U.S. Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 

 

			
	
 
	
52
	
 

16257277_9

 

14.1), declare that (a) no U.S. Loans denominated in Dollars may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and (b) no U.S. Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency may be requested or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans, other than as Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month.

Section 3.3.4Notice of Rates.  Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable U.S. Borrower and U.S. Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate.  At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable U.S. Borrower and U.S. Lenders of any change in Administrative Agent’s “prime rate” used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

Section 3.3.5Number of Interest Periods.  After giving effect to all U.S. Borrowings, all conversions of U.S. Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of U.S. Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than 15 Interest Periods in effect with respect to all Loans under all Tranches.

Section 3.4   U.S. Prepayments.

Section 3.4.1Prepayments of Loans.  Each U.S. Borrower may, upon notice to Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay U.S. Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (a) such notice must be in a form acceptable to Administrative Agent and be received by Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., (i) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, (ii) two Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars and (iii) on the date of prepayment of any Base Rate Loans or Substitute Rate Loans; and (b) any prepayment of U.S. Loans shall be in a principal amount permitted by Section 6.1.2 or, 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 U.S. Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurocurrency Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of the applicable Loans.  Administrative Agent will promptly notify each U.S. Lender and each Fronting Lender, as applicable, of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such U.S. Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage of such prepayment.  If such notice is given by such U.S. Borrower, then such U.S. Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.  Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amount required pursuant to Section 7.5.  Subject to Sections 3.2.4 and 6.9.3, each such prepayment shall be applied to the U.S. Loans of U.S. Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.

Section 3.4.2Prepayments Due to Currency Fluctuations.  Administrative Agent shall calculate the Dollar Equivalent of the U.S. Total Outstandings on each applicable Revaluation Date.  If on the Revaluation Date that occurs on the first Business Day of each calendar month, or such other times as Administrative Agent may determine in its reasonable discretion, such calculation reflects that, as of such Revaluation Date, the Dollar Equivalent of the U.S. Total Outstandings exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the U.S. Aggregate Commitments then in effect, then, within five Business Days after notice of such calculation from Administrative

Agent to Prologis, U.S. Borrowers shall prepay U.S. Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce the Dollar Equivalent of the U.S. Total Outstandings as of such date of payment to an amount not exceeding 100% of the U.S. Aggregate Commitments then in effect.  Subject to Section 3.2.4, each such prepayment shall be applied to the U.S. Loans of U.S. Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.

Section 3.4.3Other Prepayments.  If, on any date other than the Maturity Date, the Dollar Equivalent of the U.S. Total Outstandings exceeds the U.S. Aggregate Commitments then in effect and such excess is not due to a currency exchange fluctuation covered under Section 3.4.2, then, within two Business Days after notice from Administrative Agent to Prologis, U.S. Borrowers shall prepay the U.S. Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce the Dollar Equivalent of such U.S. Total Outstandings as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed the U.S. Aggregate Commitments then in effect, without regard to any minimum or multiples specified in Section 6.1.2 with respect to prepayments. Subject to Section 3.2.4, each such prepayment shall be applied to the U.S. Loans of U.S. Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.

ARTICLE IV

Section 4.1   Yen Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including Section 4.2), each Yen Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Yen Loan”) under the Yen Tranche to each Yen Borrower in Yen or in one or more Alternative Currencies of the Yen Tranche, 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 Yen Lender’s Yen Commitment; provided that after giving effect to any Yen Borrowing, (a) the Yen Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Yen Aggregate Commitments and (b) the Yen Credit Exposure of any Yen Lender shall not exceed such Yen Lender’s Yen Commitment, provided, further, that any Yen Loan denominated in Yen may only be made to a Yen Borrower organized under the Laws of Japan or that is qualified to do business in Japan as a foreign entity.  Within the limits of each Yen Lender’s Yen Commitment, Yen Borrowers may borrow under this Section 4.1, prepay under Section 4.4 and reborrow under this Section 4.1.  Yen Loans may be Base Rate Loans (if denominated in Dollars), ABR Rate Loans (if denominated in Yen), Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, solely upon the occurrence of an event described in Section 7.2 or 7.3, Substitute Rate Loans, as further provided herein.  Each Yen Lender that makes a Yen Loan, other than a Yen Fronting Loan, hereby represents and warrants that it is not a Non-Qualified Japan Lender.

16257277_9

 

Yen Fronting Loans of such Fronting Lender, when aggregated with the Yen Loans of such Fronting Lender,  may exceed the amount of such Fronting Lender’s Yen Commitment; provided that (a) after giving effect to any Yen Fronting Loan, the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of all Fronting Loans funded by such Fronting Lender shall not exceed the Fronting Commitment of such Fronting Lender, and (b) such Fronting Lender shall not be a Yen Non-Qualified Lender with respect to such Yen Borrowing.  Immediately upon the making of a Yen Fronting Loan, the applicable Yen Non-Qualified Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such Fronting Lender a risk participation in 100% of such Yen Fronting Loan.  The obligation of each Yen Non-Qualified Lender to make Yen Loans in an Alternative Currency or consisting of ABR Rate Loans or to a Foreign Borrower under Section 4.1 shall be satisfied by its purchase of a risk participation in the applicable Yen Fronting Loan; it being understood that no Yen Non-Qualified Lender shall be responsible for, or be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender or otherwise in breach of this Agreement as a result of, the failure by a Fronting Lender to make a Fronting Loan in which such Yen Non-Qualified Lender is to purchase a risk participation.

Section 4.2.2Election of Fronting Lenders.  (a)  Upon a request for a Yen Borrowing in accordance with Section 4.3 in an Alternative Currency or consisting of ABR Rate Loans or to a Foreign Borrower with respect to which there are Yen Non-Qualified Lenders, there shall be a Fronting Lender Election.  If, based on the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 4.2.1 or the last two sentences of Section 4.2.2(b) (the “Yen Fronting Limitations”), the Fronting Commitments are not sufficient to fund all of the requested Yen Fronting Loans in such Alternative Currency or consisting of ABR Rate Loans or to a Foreign Borrower, then the applicable Yen Borrower shall, within one Business Day after notice by Administrative Agent of such insufficiency, decrease the amount of the requested Yen Borrowing to the amount that would result in utilization of the maximum available Fronting Commitments subject to the Yen Fronting Limitations and, if applicable, after giving effect to the following sentence. If one or more Yen Lenders are Yen Non-Qualified Lenders solely because such Yen Lenders are not capable of making requested Yen Loans to a Foreign Borrower without the imposition of withholding taxes (each a “Yen Specified Lender”), such Borrower may, within one Business Day after notice by Administrative Agent of the insufficiency, notify Administrative Agent that it will accept responsibility for such withholding taxes with respect to such Yen Borrowing, in which case (i) Administrative Agent and the Fronting Lenders shall allocate the available Fronting Commitments (A) first, to cover any portion of such Borrowing that will not be funded by a Yen Lender because it is a Non-Qualified Lender for a reason other than potential withholding taxes and (B) then, to cover the remaining amount of such Borrowing, in each case up to the maximum available Fronting Commitments, subject to the Yen Fronting Limitations, (ii) the participations in any Fronting Loans made pursuant to clause (i)(B) above shall be allocated among the Yen Specified Lenders pro rata according to their respective Yen Commitments, (iii) each Yen Specified Lender shall fund its pro rata share of such Borrowing to the extent not funded by the Fronting Lenders and (iv) such Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Yen Specified Lender for any withholding tax arising from such Borrowing in accordance with Section 7.1.

(b)Each Non-Qualified Japan Lender with respect to the Yen Tranche (i) represents and warrants to each applicable Fronting Lender that (A) the purchase of a risk participation in such Fronting Loan by such Non-Qualified Japan Lender and (B) the funding of such risk

Without limiting the foregoing, no Fronting Lender shall be obligated to make any Fronting Loan pursuant to Section 4.2.1 if such Fronting Lender determines that any representation or warranty of the applicable Non-Qualified Japan Lender in clause (i) of the preceding sentence is not accurate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2.2(b), no Fronting Lender shall make a Fronting Loan in which a Non-Qualified Japan Lender would be required to purchase a risk participation if such Non-Qualified Japan Lender has notified such Fronting Lender at least two Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing (with copies to Administrative Agent and Prologis) that, as a result of a Change in Law, such Lender cannot make the representation and warranty set forth in the first sentence of this Section 4.2.2(b).

(e)If any payment received by any Fronting Lender (and paid to a Yen Lender) in respect of principal of or interest on any Yen Fronting Loan is required to be returned by such Fronting Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 14.5 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Fronting Lender in its discretion), such Yen Lender shall pay to such Fronting Lender in the applicable currency of such Yen Fronting Loan the amount of such payment in respect of such Yen Fronting Loan on demand of 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 applicable Overnight Rate.

In addition, to the extent (a) a Yen Fronting Loan is outstanding, (b) a Yen Non-Qualified Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender and (c) the applicable Fronting Lender makes a demand for repayment to the applicable Yen Borrower, then such Yen Borrower shall repay such Yen Fronting Loan (i) on or before the earlier of (A) 30 days following receipt of such demand or (B) the fifth day following the last day of the applicable Interest Period ending after receipt of such demand or (ii) if no Interest Period is in effect with respect to such Yen Fronting Loan, within ten days following receipt of such demand.

Section 4.4   Yen Prepayments.

Section 4.4.1Prepayments of Yen Loans.  Each Yen Borrower may, upon notice to Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Yen Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (a) such notice must be in a form acceptable to Administrative Agent and be received by Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., (i) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (ii) two Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans, ABR Rate Loans and Substitute Rate Loans; and (b) any prepayment of Yen Loans shall be in a principal amount permitted by Section 6.1.2, or, 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 Yen Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurocurrency Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Yen Loans.  Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Yen Lender and each Yen Fronting Lender, as applicable, of its receipt of each such notice and of the amount of such Yen Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage of such prepayment.  If such notice is given by such Yen Borrower, then such Yen Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.  Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amount required pursuant to Section 7.5.  Subject to Sections 4.2.4 and 6.9.3, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Yen Loans of Yen Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.

Section 4.4.2Prepayments due to Currency Fluctuations.  Administrative Agent shall calculate the Yen Equivalent of the Yen Total Outstandings on each Revaluation Date.  If on the Revaluation Date that occurs on the first Business Day of each calendar month, or such other times as Administrative Agent may determine in its reasonable discretion, such calculation reflects that, as of such Revaluation Date, the Yen Equivalent of the Yen Total Outstandings exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Yen Aggregate Commitments then in effect, then, within five Business Days after notice of such calculation from Administrative Agent to Prologis, Yen Borrowers shall prepay the Yen Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce the Yen Equivalent of such Yen Total Outstandings as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Yen Aggregate Commitments then in effect. Subject to Section 4.2.4, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Yen Loans of Yen Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.

Section 4.4.3Other Prepayments.  If, on any date other than the Maturity Date, the Yen Equivalent of the Yen Total Outstandings exceeds the Yen Aggregate Commitments then in effect and such excess is not due to a currency exchange fluctuation covered under Section 4.4.2, then, within two Business Days after notice from Administrative Agent to Prologis, Yen Borrowers shall prepay the Yen Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce the Yen Equivalent of such Yen Total Outstandings as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed the Yen Aggregate Commitments then in effect, without regard to any minimum or multiples specified in Section 6.1.2 with respect to prepayments. Subject to Section 4.2.4, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Yen Loans of Yen Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.

Within the limits of each Sterling Lender’s Sterling Commitment, Sterling Borrowers may borrow under this Section 5.1, prepay under Section 5.4 and reborrow under this Section 5.1.  Sterling Loans may be Base Rate Loans (if denominated in Dollars), Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, solely upon the occurrence of an event described in Section 7.2 or 7.3, Substitute Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

Section 5.2   Sterling Fronting Loans.

Section 5.2.1Sterling Fronting Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5.2, upon a request for a Sterling Borrowing in an Alternative Currency or to a Foreign Borrower in compliance with Section 5.1, each Fronting Lender agrees, subject to the limitations set forth below, to fund its Fronting Portion of such Sterling Borrowing in the requested currency with respect to such Sterling Borrowing and in the amount of each Sterling Non-Qualified Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage for such Sterling Borrowing (each a “Sterling Fronting Loan”), notwithstanding the fact that, after giving effect to such funding, all Sterling Fronting Loans of such Fronting Lender, when aggregated with the Sterling Loans of such Fronting Lender, may exceed the amount of such Fronting Lender’s Sterling Commitment; provided that (a) after giving effect to any Sterling Fronting Loan, the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of all Fronting Loans funded by such Fronting Lender shall not exceed the Fronting Commitment of such Fronting Lender, and (b) such Fronting Lender shall not be a Sterling Non-Qualified Lender with respect to such Sterling Borrowing.  Immediately upon the making of a Sterling Fronting Loan, the applicable Sterling Non-Qualified Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such Fronting Lender a risk participation in 100% of such Sterling Fronting Loan.  The obligation of each Sterling Non-Qualified Lender to make Sterling Loans in an Alternative Currency or to a Foreign Borrower under Section 5.1 shall be satisfied by its purchase of a risk participation in the applicable Sterling Fronting Loan; it being understood that no Sterling Non-Qualified Lender shall be responsible for, or be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender or otherwise in breach of this Agreement as a result of, the failure by a Fronting Lender to make a Fronting Loan in which such Sterling Non-Qualified Lender is to purchase a risk participation.

If one or more Sterling Lenders are Sterling Non-Qualified Lenders solely because such Sterling Lenders are not capable of making requested Sterling Loans to a Foreign Borrower without the imposition of withholding taxes (each a “Sterling Specified Lender”), such Borrower may, within one Business Day after notice by Administrative Agent of the insufficiency, notify Administrative Agent that it will accept responsibility for such withholding taxes with respect to such Sterling Borrowing, in which case (i) Administrative Agent and the Fronting Lenders shall allocate the available Fronting Commitments (A) first, to cover any portion of such Borrowing that will not be funded by a Sterling Lender because it is a Non-Qualified Lender for a reason other than potential withholding taxes and (B) then, to cover the remaining amount of such Borrowing, in each case up to the maximum available Fronting Commitments, subject to the Sterling Fronting Limitations, (ii) the participations in any Fronting Loans made pursuant to clause (i)(B) above shall be allocated among the Sterling Specified Lenders pro rata according to their respective Sterling Commitments, (iii) each Sterling Specified Lender shall fund its pro rata share of such Borrowing to the extent not funded by the Fronting Lenders and (iv) such Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Sterling Specified Lender for any withholding tax arising from such Borrowing in accordance with Section 7.1.

Without limiting the foregoing, no Fronting Lender shall be obligated to make any Fronting Loan pursuant to Section 5.2.1 if such Fronting Lender determines that any representation or warranty of the applicable Non-Qualified Japan Lender in clause (i) of the preceding sentence is not accurate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.2.2(b), no Fronting Lender shall make a Fronting Loan in which a Non-Qualified Japan Lender would be required to purchase a risk participation if such Non-Qualified Japan Lender has notified such Fronting Lender at least two Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing (with copies to Administrative Agent and Prologis) that, as a result of a Change in Law, such Lender cannot make the representation and warranty set forth in the first sentence of this Section 5.2.2(b).

Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2, Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the applicable Sterling Borrower in like funds as received by Administrative Agent either by (a) crediting the account of such Sterling Borrower on the books of Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (b) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) Administrative Agent by such Sterling Borrower.

Section 5.3.3Certain Continuations and Conversions.  Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan.  During the existence of a Default, the Sterling Required Lenders may at their option, by notice to the Sterling Borrowers (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Sterling Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 14.1), declare that (a) no Sterling Loans denominated in Dollars may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and (b) no Sterling Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency may be requested or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans, other than as Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month.

Section 5.3.4Notice of Rates.  Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Sterling Borrower and Sterling Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate.  At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Sterling Borrower and Sterling Lenders of any change in Administrative Agent’s “prime rate” used in determining the Base Rate for Sterling Loans denominated in Dollars promptly following the public announcement of such change.

Section 5.3.5Number of Interest Periods.  After giving effect to all Sterling Borrowings, all conversions of Sterling Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Sterling Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than 15 Interest Periods in effect with respect to all Loans under all Tranches.

Section 5.4   Sterling Prepayments.

Section 5.4.1Prepayments of Loans.  Each Sterling Borrower may, upon notice to Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Sterling Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (a) such notice must be in a form acceptable to Administrative Agent and be received by Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., (i) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (ii) on the date of prepayment of any Base Rate Loans and Substitute Rate Loans; and (b) any prepayment of Sterling Loans shall be in a principal amount permitted by Section 6.1.2 or, 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 Eurocurrency Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of the applicable Loans.  Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Sterling Lender and each Sterling Fronting Lender, as applicable, of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Sterling Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage of such prepayment.  If such notice is given by such Sterling Borrower, then such Sterling Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.  Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amount required pursuant to Section 7.5.  Subject to Sections 5.2.4 and 6.9.3, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Sterling Loans of Sterling Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.

Section 5.4.2Prepayments Due to Currency Fluctuations.  Administrative Agent shall calculate the Sterling Equivalent of the Sterling Total Outstandings on each applicable

16257277_9

 

Revaluation Date.  If on the Revaluation Date that occurs on the first Business Day of each calendar month, or such other times as Administrative Agent may determine in its reasonable discretion, such calculation reflects that, as of such Revaluation Date, the Sterling Equivalent of the Sterling Total Outstandings exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Sterling Aggregate Commitments then in effect, then, within five Business Days after notice of such calculation from Administrative Agent to Prologis, Sterling Borrowers shall prepay Sterling Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce the Sterling Equivalent of the Sterling Total Outstandings as of such date of payment to an amount not exceeding 100% of the Sterling Aggregate Commitments then in effect.  Subject to Section 5.2.4, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Sterling Loans of Sterling Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.

Section 5.4.3Other Prepayments.  If, on any date other than the Maturity Date, the Sterling Equivalent of the Sterling Total Outstandings exceeds the Sterling Aggregate Commitments then in effect and such excess is not due to a currency exchange fluctuation covered under Section 5.4.2, then, within two Business Days after notice from Administrative Agent to Prologis, Sterling Borrowers shall prepay the Sterling Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce the Sterling Equivalent of such Sterling Total Outstandings as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed the Sterling Aggregate Commitments then in effect, without regard to any minimum or multiples specified in Section 6.1.2 with respect to prepayments. Subject to Section 5.2.4, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Sterling Loans of Sterling Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.

(iii)Prologis shall not terminate or reduce any Aggregate Tranche Commitment if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayment thereunder, the Total Tranche Outstandings of the applicable Tranche would exceed such Aggregate Tranche Commitment.

(b)at any time a Borrower (other than Prologis) has (i) no Obligations under this Agreement or under a particular Tranche (excluding, for purposes of this Section, (A) Obligations under any Loan Document other than this Agreement and (B) Obligations under this Agreement that are expressly stated to survive the termination of this Agreement and are not yet due and payable) and (ii) no outstanding request for Loans, remove such Borrower as a Borrower under this Agreement or solely under one or more Tranches under this Agreement.

16257277_9

 

Administrative Agent will promptly notify the applicable Tranche Lenders of any notice provided by Prologis under this Section 6.3.1.

All fees accrued under a particular Tranche shall be paid on the effective date of the termination of the Aggregate Tranche Commitment for such Tranche.

Section 6.3.2Mandatory Commitment Reduction.  If any event described in the second sentence of Section 6.2 occurs, then the Commitments shall be reduced as described in such Section 6.2. If on the Closing Date, after giving effect to the U.S. Loans requested to be made on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 8.1, with respect to the U.S. Tranche, the U.S. Aggregate Commitments exceeds the U.S. Loans requested to be made on such date, then the U.S. Aggregate Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced by an amount equal to such excess. 

Section 6.4   Repayment of Loans.  

(a)The aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans shall be paid on the Maturity Date.

(b)If, on any date, the Dollar Equivalent amount of the outstanding Fronting Loans held by any Fronting Lender exceeds the Fronting Commitment of such Fronting Lender then in effect, then, within two Business Days after notice from such Fronting Lender to Prologis, the applicable Borrowers shall prepay the Fronting Loans held by such Fronting Lender in an amount sufficient to reduce the Dollar Equivalent amount of the outstanding Fronting Loans of such Fronting Lender as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed the Fronting Commitment of such Fronting Lender then in effect, without regard to any minimum or multiples specified in Section 6.1.2 with respect to prepayments.

Section 6.5   Interest.

Section 6.5.1Interest Rates.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.5.2 and 14.9:

Section 6.5.2Rates Upon Default.

(a)At any time and so long as an Event of Default pursuant to Section 12.1.1 exists, any Obligations not paid when due shall bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(b)Upon the written request of Required Lenders at any time and so long as any Event of Default exists, Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

Section 6.5.3Interest Payment Dates.  Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein.  Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

Section 6.6   Fees.

Section 6.6.1Closing Fees.  Prologis shall pay to Administrative Agent on the Closing Date for the account of each Lender, a closing fee in the amount separately agreed upon in writing with such Lender.

Section 6.6.2Agency and Arrangement Fees.  Prologis shall pay to Arrangers and Administrative Agent, such fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letters.

Section 6.6.3Unused Fee.  If a Borrower makes a prepayment of a Loan under any Tranche and has not reborrowed all or a portion of the amount prepaid within 30 days after the date of such prepayment, then such Borrower shall pay an unused fee (the “Unused Fee”) to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in the applicable Tranche in an amount equal to 0.20% per annum multiplied by the amount of the applicable Tranche that is available to be reborrowed.  Such Unused Fee shall accrue commencing on the 31st day after the date of any such prepayment until the amount prepaid is reborrowed or the available Commitment is cancelled or terminated.  Such Unused Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears.  The Unused Fee with respect to the Euro Tranche shall be payable in Euros, with respect to the U.S. Tranche shall be payable in Dollars, with respect to the Yen Tranche shall be payable in Yen, and with respect to the Sterling Tranche shall be payable in Sterling.  

Section 6.6.4Payment of Fees.  All such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

Section 6.7   Computation of Interest and Fees.  All computations of interest for (a) Base Rate Loans and (b) Loans denominated in Sterling 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 interest and fees shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which 

 

			
	
 
	
70
	
 

16257277_9

 

results in more interest or fees, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).  Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which such Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which such Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.  Each determination by Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent demonstrable error.

Section 6.8   Evidence of Debt and Promissory Note.

Section 6.8.1Recordkeeping.  The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by Administrative Agent, in each case in the ordinary course of business.  The accounts or records maintained by Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be rebuttable presumptive evidence of the amount of the Loans made by Lenders to Borrowers 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 obligations of Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

Section 6.8.2Promissory Note.  The provisions of this Section 6.8.2 constitute a promissory note for the benefit of each Lender.  In furtherance of the foregoing:

(a)Each Borrower hereby promises, severally, but not jointly, to pay to each Lender, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the principal amount of each Loan of such Borrower from time to time made by such Lender to such Borrower.  In addition, such Borrower promises severally, but not jointly, to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans made to such Borrower, from the date of such Loans until such principal amount is paid in full, at such interest rates and at such times as provided in this Agreement.

(b)All payments of principal and interest with respect to Loans shall be made to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in the currency in which such Loans are denominated and in Same Day Funds at Administrative Agent’s Office for such currency.

Section 6.8.3Participations.  In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 6.8.1, each Lender and Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Fronting Loans.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of such Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

Section 6.9   Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

Section 6.9.1All Payments Generally.  All payments to be made by Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.

Section 6.9.2Payments Generally. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by a Borrower under a Tranche shall be made to Administrative Agent, for the account 

 

			
	
 
	
71
	
 

16257277_9

 

of the Applicable Tranche Lenders to which such payment is owed, at Administrative Agent’s Office in the Primary Currency of such Tranche and in Same Day Funds not later than 12:00 noon, Applicable Time (and by 10:00 a.m. for payments under the Euro Tranche), on the date specified herein.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by a Borrower under a Tranche with respect to principal of and interest on Loans under such Tranche that are denominated in an Alternative Currency of such Tranche shall be made to Administrative Agent, for the account of the Applicable Tranche Lenders to which such payment is owed, at Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the Primary Location (as defined below).  If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in the Primary Currency in the Dollar Equivalent, Euro Equivalent, Sterling Equivalent or Yen Equivalent, as applicable, of such Alternative Currency payment amount.  For purposes of this Section 6.9.2, “Primary Location” means, with respect to the U.S. Tranche, the United States; with respect to the Euro Tranche, The Netherlands; with respect to the Yen Tranche, Japan; and with respect to the Sterling Tranche, the United Kingdom.

Section 6.9.3Distribution of Payments.  With respect to payments and fees as set forth herein to be paid to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each applicable Lender in such Tranche its Applicable Tranche Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office.  With respect to payments as set forth herein to be paid to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (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 Administrative Agent after the Applicable Time specified by Administrative Agent shall in each case 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 any Borrower shall become due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

Section 6.9.4Application of Payments.  All payments by any Loan Party hereunder shall be applied to such Obligations as such Loan Party shall specify; provided that, subject to Section 6.15.1(b), during the existence of any Event of Default, all payments by or on behalf of any Loan Party hereunder shall be applied as follows, in each case to the extent that the applicable payor has liability therefor:

(a)First, to the payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid fees, indemnities, costs, expenses and other amounts (other than principal or interest) payable to Administrative Agent in its capacity as such or any Related Party thereof, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts payable pursuant to this clause (a);

(b)Second, to the payment of all amounts paid by Lenders to any Administrative Agent or any Related Party thereof pursuant to Section 14.4.3 (to the extent Lenders have not 

 

			
	
 
	
72
	
 

16257277_9

 

previously been reimbursed therefor), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts payable pursuant to this clause (b);

(c)Third, to the payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid fees, indemnities, costs, expenses and other amounts (other than principal or interest) payable to any Person pursuant to Section 14.4.1, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts payable pursuant to this clause (c);

(d)Fourth, to the payment of all amounts paid by Lenders to any Person pursuant to Section 14.4.3 (to the extent Lenders have not previously been reimbursed therefor), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts payable pursuant to this clause (d);

(e)Fifth, to the payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans, ratably among Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts payable to them pursuant to this clause (e);

(f)Sixth, to the payment of the unpaid principal of the Loans, ratably among Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts payable pursuant to this clause (f);

(g)Seventh, to the payment of all remaining unpaid Obligations, ratably among the Credit Parties in proportion to the respective amounts payable pursuant to this clause (g); and

(h)Last, the balance, if any, after payment in full of all Obligations of the applicable payor, to such payor or as otherwise required by Law.

Notwithstanding the above, if General Partner or Prologis makes any payments, or there are recoveries from General Partner or Prologis, during the existence of any Event of Default, then, if so elected by Required Lenders, such payments or recoveries shall be applied to the Obligations as directed by Required Lenders; provided that such application shall not affect the agreements set forth in Section 6.10.

Section 6.9.5Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.  Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender directly or through a Fronting Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with the requirements hereof and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available directly or through a Fronting Lender to Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in the same currency and in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at (a) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate and (b) in the case of a payment to be made by such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the applicable Loans.  If such Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest 

 

			
	
 
	
73
	
 

16257277_9

 

paid by such Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing directly or through a Fronting Lender to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall satisfy such Lender’s obligation with respect to such Borrowing.  Any payment by a Borrower pursuant to this Section 6.9.5 shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make a payment to Administrative Agent.

Section 6.9.6Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.  Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to Lenders the amount due.  In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each Lender severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in the same currency and in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to it to the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.  A notice by Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 6.9.6 shall be conclusive, absent demonstrable error.

Section 6.9.7Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent.  If any Lender makes available directly or through a Fronting Lender to Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender to any Borrower as provided herein, and such funds are not made available to such Borrower by Administrative Agent because the conditions to such Loan set forth in Article VIII are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, Administrative Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, plus interest thereon from the date funds were made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender to the date such amount is returned by Administrative Agent to such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.

Section 6.9.8Obligations of Lenders Several.  The obligations of Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 14.4.3 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 14.4.3 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation (if any) to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan, to purchase any such participation, or to make any payment under Section 14.4.3.

Section 6.9.9Funding Source.  Subject to Section 7.6.1, (a) each Lender may, at its option, make any Loan available to any Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of such Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (b) 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.

Section 6.10   Sharing of Payments.  

Section 6.10.1Sharing of Payments by Lenders in a Tranche.  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 Loans made by it in a particular Tranche and, as a result thereof, such Lender shall receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans under such Tranche and interest thereon greater than its Applicable Tranche Percentage of all payments on account of the principal of and interest on all Loans under such Tranche, then such Lender shall (a) notify Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans in such Tranche of the other Lenders in such Tranche, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by Lenders in such Tranche ratably in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages; provided that:

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

(b)the provisions of this Section 6.10.1 shall not apply to (i) any payment made by a Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to Prologis or any Eligible Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 6.10.1 shall apply), (iii) any payment pursuant to Article VII or (iv) any payment made to a non-Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement that otherwise would have been made to a Defaulting Lender.

Each Loan Party 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 such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

Section 6.10.2Sharing of Payments by Tranches.  If, at any time during the existence of any Trigger Event, the Lenders under any Tranche (a “Group”) shall obtain aggregate payments or other recoveries (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise) on account of principal of or interest on any Loan made, under such Tranche in excess of such Group’s pro rata share (based on such Group’s percentage of the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of all such obligations then owed to all Lenders hereunder) of all payments and other recoveries received by all Groups hereunder, then the Group receiving such excess payment (the “Benefitted Group”) shall immediately (a) purchase (for cash at face value, and based on each such Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage) participations in Obligations of the other Groups in order to cause the Benefitted Group to share the excess payment or recovery ratably with the other Groups and (b) pay such excess to (or as otherwise directed by) Administrative Agent, which shall distribute such excess to Administrative Agent for the other Groups, in order to effectuate such participations; provided that if all or any part of the payment or other recovery that gave rise to any such excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from the

16257277_9

 

Benefitted Group, then each other Group shall repay to Administrative Agent for the account of the Benefitted Group the amount necessary to ensure that each Group receives its pro rata share of all such payments or other recoveries received by each Group.  The obligation of each member of each Group to make its share of any payment required under this Section 6.10.2 shall be several, and not joint or joint and several, and after giving effect to any such payment each Group shall make such other adjustments as shall be appropriate under Section 6.10.1.  The provisions of this Section 6.10.2 are solely for the benefit of the Lenders and are not for the benefit of (and may not be enforced by) any other Person.  Administrative Agent and Lenders may, without the consent of any Loan Party or any other Person, make arrangements among themselves to amend or otherwise modify this Section 6.10.2 and to establish different sharing arrangements with respect to payments and other recoveries hereunder; provided that any such amendment, modification or sharing arrangement shall be consented to by all Lenders affected thereby.  If, at any time after Lenders have purchased participations pursuant to this Section 6.10.2, no Trigger Event exists, then Administrative Agent and Lenders shall take all actions necessary to rescind all participations and subparticipations previously purchased pursuant to this Section 6.10.2.

Section 6.11  Extension of Maturity Date.

Section 6.11.1Request for Extension.  Not earlier than 180 days or later than 30 days prior to the then-current Maturity Date, Prologis may, upon written notice to Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) and satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.11.2, extend the Maturity Date for an additional year; provided that (a) the Maturity Date may not be extended more than two times pursuant to this Section 6.11; and (b) each extension shall not be effective unless the Global Credit Agreement has been extended (or refinanced by a similar credit facility reasonably satisfactory to Required Lenders) to a date beyond the date of the maturity of this Agreement after giving effect to such extension.

Section 6.11.2Extension Procedures.  Any extension of the Maturity Date contemplated by Section 6.11.1 shall become effective on the date (the “Extension Effective Date”) on which the following conditions precedent have been satisfied: (a) Administrative Agent shall have received the written notice referred to in Section 6.11.1 and (b) Prologis shall have paid to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Lender, an extension fee in an amount equal to 0.125% times such Lender’s Commitment, and Administrative Agent shall promptly remit such extension fee to each Lender upon receipt thereof; provided that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date on which such conditions are satisfied, the Extension Effective Date shall be the first date thereafter, if any, on or before the then-current Maturity Date on which no Event of Default is continuing.  Upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in this Section 6.11.2 and the occurrence of the Extension Effective Date, Administrative Agent shall promptly confirm to Prologis and the Lenders such extension and the Extension Effective Date.  The extension fee described above shall be payable in (i) Dollars with respect to U.S. Commitments, (ii) Euros with respect to Euro Commitments, (iii) Yen with respect to Yen Commitments, and (iv) Sterling with respect to the Sterling Tranche.

Section 6.12  Additional Affiliate Borrowers.

Section 6.12.1Procedures for Adding Affiliate Borrowers.  Prologis may, upon at least ten Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) (or (x) such lesser period as may be agreed to by Administrative Agent or (y) such longer period as is determined by Administrative Agent to be reasonably necessary for the applicable parties to comply with any governmental or regulatory requirements), request that any Eligible Affiliate that is not a Sanctioned Person become an Affiliate Borrower by delivering the Organization Documents of such Eligible Affiliate to Administrative Agent.  At least five Business Days prior to an Eligible Affiliate becoming an Affiliate Borrower, Prologis shall deliver the drafts of the documents referenced in clauses (b)(i) and (ii) below, to Administrative Agent.  On or prior to the date on which an Eligible Affiliate becomes an Affiliate Borrower, Prologis shall deliver the following to Administrative Agent, in each case reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, (a) a Borrower Accession Agreement duly executed by Prologis and such Eligible Affiliate that will, among other things, designate the applicable Tranche under which such Eligible Affiliate will be an Affiliate Borrower (the “Requested Tranche”) and (b) the following documents relating to such Eligible Affiliate: (i) an opinion of such Eligible Affiliate’s counsel reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent; (ii) an officer’s certificate certifying (A) the Organization Documents of such Eligible Affiliate, (B) resolutions of such Eligible Affiliate’s Board of Directors or other governing body authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable, certified as being in full force and effect without modification or amendment, and (C) signatures and incumbency of officers of such Eligible Affiliate or, with respect to any proposed Affiliate Borrower which is organized under the Laws of Japan, (x) a certificate of seal and a certificate of full registry records both of which have been issued by the competent legal affairs bureau within three months before the date of such officer’s certificate and (y) a seal registration form (in the form prescribed by Administrative Agent); (iii) certificates of existence and good standing for such Eligible Affiliate issued by its state of organization or the equivalent certificates, if any, from the applicable Governmental Authorities for any Eligible Affiliate organized outside of the U.S.; and (iv) any additional information regarding such Eligible Affiliate that Administrative Agent or any Lender may reasonably request under Section 14.16 or 14.17 or otherwise.  Upon receipt by Administrative Agent of the items referenced in this Section 6.12, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and its counsel, and subject to Section 6.12.3, such Eligible Affiliate shall become an Affiliate Borrower under the Requested Tranche and assume all the rights, benefits and obligations of an Affiliate Borrower unless on such date a Default exists and is continuing or would occur as a result of such Eligible Affiliate becoming an Affiliate Borrower under the Requested Tranche.  Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the addition of any Affiliate Borrower pursuant to this Section 6.12.1.

Section 6.12.2Existing Borrowers.  Prologis may, upon at least 15 days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Applicable Tranche Lenders) (or (x) such lesser period as may be agreed to by Administrative Agent or (y) such longer period as is determined by Administrative Agent to be reasonably necessary for the applicable parties to comply with any governmental or regulatory requirements), request that any existing Borrower under one Tranche become a Borrower under a different Tranche.  On or prior to the date on which such existing Borrower becomes a Borrower under a different Tranche, Prologis shall deliver the following to Administrative Agent, in each case reasonably acceptable to 

 

			
	
 
	
77
	
 

16257277_9

 

Administrative Agent, (a) a Borrower Accession Agreement duly executed by Prologis and such existing Borrower that will, among other things, designate the applicable Tranche under which such existing Borrower will also become a Borrower (the “Additional Tranche”) and (b) any information regarding such existing Borrower that Administrative Agent or any Applicable Tranche Lender may reasonably request under Section 14.16 or 14.17, or otherwise.  Upon receipt by Administrative Agent of the items referenced in this Section 6.12.2, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and its counsel, and subject to Section 6.12.3, such existing Borrower shall become a Borrower under the Additional Tranche unless on such date a Default exists or would occur as a result of such existing Borrower becoming a Borrower under the Tranche. Furthermore, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Applicable Tranche Lender of the addition of a Borrower under an Additional Tranche pursuant to this Section 6.12.2.

Section 6.12.3Limitations.  In addition to the conditions set forth in Sections 6.12.1 and 6.12.2, to the extent applicable, neither (a) an Eligible Affiliate that would qualify as a Foreign Borrower under the Requested Tranche in which it would be a Borrower, nor (b) an existing Borrower under one Tranche that would otherwise qualify as Foreign Borrower under the Additional Tranche, may be a Borrower under such Requested Tranche or Additional Tranche, as applicable, unless Administrative Agent is reasonably satisfied that the addition of such Eligible Affiliate or existing Borrower to such Requested Tranche or Additional Tranche, as applicable, will not (i) violate any Laws, (ii) materially impair the ability of Applicable Tranche Lenders to assign their Commitments or Loans under such Requested Tranche or Additional Tranche, as applicable, or (iii) have any other material adverse effect on the Applicable Tranche Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 6.12.3 (other than clause (i) above) shall not be conditions to an Eligible Affiliate that is organized under the Laws of a Participating Member State becoming a Euro Borrower.  Upon the delivery of a notice by Administrative Agent of a request by Prologis to add an Eligible Affiliate as a Borrower or to add an existing Borrower to an Additional Tranche pursuant to Section 6.12.1 or 6.12.2, as applicable, each Applicable Tranche Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent if adding such additional Borrower would be subject to any of the foregoing limitations.

Section 6.12.4Qualification Status.  Upon the delivery of a notice by Administrative Agent of a request by Prologis to add an Eligible Affiliate as a Borrower or to add an existing Borrower to an Additional Tranche pursuant to Section 6.12.1 or 6.12.2, as applicable, Administrative Agent shall request that each Applicable Tranche Lender represent and warrant to Prologis and Administrative Agent as to whether such Applicable Tranche Lender is capable of making a Loan to such Eligible Affiliate without the imposition of any withholding taxes.  Each Lender agrees that it shall respond to any such request within three Business Days; provided that if an Applicable Tranche Lender does not respond within the required time period, then Administrative Agent may deem such Applicable Tranche Lender to be unable to make a Loan to such Eligible Affiliate without the imposition of a withholding tax.  Furthermore, Administrative Agent may revise Annex 2 to the Assignment and Assumption reflecting a new Borrower or the addition of a Borrower to an Additional Tranche.

Section 6.13   Reallocation of Commitments.

Section 6.13.1Reallocation Procedures.  Prologis may, from time to time during the Availability Period, by written notice to Administrative Agent (a “Reallocation Notice”), increase the Aggregate Tranche Commitment under one Available Tranche with a corresponding reduction of the Aggregate Tranche Commitment under a different Available Tranche by, with the consent of Administrative Agent and each applicable Fronting Lender, reallocating the Commitment of any Lender (each an “Allocating Lender”), subject to the following conditions:

(a)at the time of such Reallocation Notice, Prologis specifies which Tranche shall be increased and which Tranche shall be decreased;

(b)the amount of the increase in an Available Tranche shall be equal to the Foreign Currency Equivalent amount of the corresponding decrease in the other Available Tranche determined five Business Days prior to the Reallocation Effective Date;

(c)each Allocating Lender satisfies the requirements of an Eligible Qualified Institution under the Available Tranche in which the Aggregate Tranche Commitment is being increased;

(d)each Allocating Lender acknowledges in writing to Administrative Agent and Prologis that it has agreed that its Commitment will be reallocated hereunder (which acknowledgment shall be made in such Lender’s sole discretion);

(e)unless Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, Prologis may make a maximum of one request per calendar quarter;

(f)no reduction in any Aggregate Tranche Commitment shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Tranche Outstandings under such Tranche would exceed the Aggregate Tranche Commitment under such Tranche;

(g)the amount of the increase or decrease in each applicable Aggregate Tranche Commitment shall not be less than a Dollar Equivalent amount of $5,000,000;

(h)no Default exists; and

(i)unless otherwise agreed among Administrative Agent, the affected Lender and the applicable Borrowers (which agreement may include a phase-in of the applicable increase and/or Interest Periods with any agreed-upon length), the applicable Borrowers shall prepay any Loans outstanding on the Reallocation Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 7.5) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans in the affected Available Tranches ratable with any revised Applicable Tranche Percentages arising from any nonratable increase or decrease in any Commitments of any Lenders under this Section 6.13.

Section 6.13.2Effectiveness of Reallocation.  Administrative Agent contemporaneously with any reallocation completed in accordance with Section 6.13.1, shall provide to the Lenders and Prologis a new Schedule 2.1 for the applicable Tranches reflecting any proposed 

 

			
	
 
	
79
	
 

16257277_9

 

reallocation.  In addition, Administrative Agent and Prologis shall determine the effective date (the “Reallocation Effective Date”) of such reallocation; provided that Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Prologis of the Reallocation Effective Date.  After any Reallocation Effective Date and the receipt of a revised Schedule 2.1, Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to each Lender in the affected Tranches and to Prologis a new Schedule 2.1 for the affected Tranches.

Section 6.14   Increase in Commitments.

Section 6.14.1Increase Procedures.  From time to time after the Closing Date to the Maturity Date, Prologis may, on three occasions, by written request (an “Increase Request”) to Administrative Agent, increase the amount of the Aggregate Tranche Commitments by (a) admitting additional Lenders hereunder (each a “Subsequent Lender”) or (b) increasing the Commitment of any existing Lender in such Lender’s sole discretion (each an “Increasing Lender”), subject to the following conditions:

(a)at the time of such Increase Request, Prologis specifies its requested allocation of the requested increase in the Aggregate Tranche Commitments to each Tranche;

(b)each Subsequent Lender is an Eligible Qualified Institution;

(c)each Subsequent Lender executes and delivers to Administrative Agent a joinder agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E;

(d)each Increasing Lender executes and delivers to Administrative Agent an increase certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F;

(e)the amount of all increases in the Aggregate Tranche Commitments pursuant to this Section 6.14 shall not exceed the Dollar Equivalent amount of $500,000,000 in the aggregate; it being understood that in determining the aggregate increase amount for purposes of this clause (e), each increase amount shall equal the Dollar Equivalent amount of such increase amount as determined on the corresponding effective date of the increase in the Aggregate Tranche Commitments; and after giving effect to each such increase, the Dollar Equivalent of the Aggregate Tranche Commitments shall not exceed $1,000,000,000 in the aggregate as determined on the applicable effective date of such increase;

(f)each increase in the Aggregate Tranche Commitments shall be in a minimum amount of the Dollar Equivalent of $50,000,000 (or such lesser amount as Administrative Agent may agree or as may be necessary to utilize the full amount available under clause (e));

(g)no admission of any Subsequent Lender shall increase the Commitment of any existing Lender without the written consent of such Lender; and

(h)no Default shall exist at the time of any increase.

Section 6.14.2Effectiveness of Increase.  Administrative Agent and Prologis shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) of each increase in the Aggregate Tranche Commitments under this Section 6.14.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, 

 

			
	
 
	
80
	
 

16257277_9

 

Administrative Agent, Prologis and the applicable Subsequent Lenders and/or Increasing Lenders may agree upon procedures for phasing in any increase to minimize breakage costs or for reasons of convenience.  After an Increase Effective Date, Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to each Lender and to Prologis a revised Schedule 2.1.

Section 6.14.3Conflicting Provisions.  This Section 6.14 shall supersede any provisions in Sections 6.10 or 14.1 to the contrary.

Section 6.15   Defaulting Lenders.

Section 6.15.1Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(a)Waivers and Amendments.  Such 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 14.1.

(b)Reallocation of Payments.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article XII or otherwise, and including any amount made available to Administrative Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 14.8) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amount owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Fronting Lender hereunder; third, if Prologis so requests (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; fourth, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Prologis, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default exists, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amount owing to any Loan Party as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Loan Party against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such 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 Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loan was made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all applicable non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loan of such Defaulting Lender.  Any payment, prepayment or other amount paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that is applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 6.15.1(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents to the foregoing.

Section 6.15.2Defaulting Lender Cure.  If Prologis, Administrative Agent and each Fronting Lender agree in writing, each in its sole discretion, that a Defaulting Lender should no 

 

			
	
 
	
81
	
 

16257277_9

 

longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, 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, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders of each applicable Tranche in accordance with their Applicable Tranche Percentages (without giving effect to Section 6.15.1(b)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that subject to Section 14.18 and except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 6.15.3Notice of Determination of Defaulting Lender.  Upon any determination by Administrative Agent that any Lender constitutes a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent shall promptly provide Prologis with notice of such determination; provided that any failure to so notify Prologis of such determination shall not have any effect on the status of such Lender as a Defaulting Lender.

Section 6.16   Additional Alternative Currencies.  Prologis may, upon at least 15 Business Days’ (or such lesser number of days as may be agreed to by Administrative Agent) prior written notice to Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the applicable Lenders), request that an additional currency be added as an “Alternative Currency” under a Tranche; provided that the requested currency is a lawful currency that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars.  Each Lender under the applicable Tranche shall notify Administrative Agent, not later than seven Business Days after receipt of such request, whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the addition of such currency as an “Alternative Currency” under such Tranche (and any failure by a Lender to respond within such time period shall be deemed not to have consented to such request).  If Administrative Agent and all Lenders under the applicable Tranche consent to the addition of a currency as an “Alternative Currency” under such Tranche (any such currency, an “Additional Alternative Currency”), then (a) Administrative Agent shall so notify Prologis and all Lenders under such Tranche and (b) this Agreement shall be deemed amended to permit Loans under the applicable Tranche in such currency.  If Administrative Agent or any Lender shall fail to consent to any such request, Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify Prologis.  

ARTICLE VII
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

Section 7.1   Taxes.

Section 7.1.1Payments Free of Taxes.  All payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if any Loan Party shall be required by applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (a) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Credit Party receives an amount equal to the sum it 

 

			
	
 
	
82
	
 

16257277_9

 

would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (c) such Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

Section 7.1.2Indemnification by Loan Parties.  The applicable Loan Party shall indemnify each Credit Party, within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid or payable by such Credit Party on or with respect to any payment made to such Credit Party by or on account of such Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to a Loan Party by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

Section 7.1.3Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

Section 7.1.4Status of Lenders.  Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is a resident for tax purposes (including in the case of the United States, a disregarded entity (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3 of the Code) owned by a resident of the United States or other Person that is engaged in a trade or business in the United States or a qualified REIT subsidiary (as defined in Section 856(i) of the Code)) or is otherwise subject to tax, or any treaty to which any such jurisdiction is a party or which otherwise benefits such Lender, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to Prologis (with a copy to Administrative Agent), at the time or times reasonably requested by Prologis or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if requested by Prologis or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by Prologis or Administrative Agent as will enable Prologis or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

 

			
	
 
	
83
	
 

16257277_9

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Borrower is a resident for tax purposes in the United States, engaged in the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, a disregarded entity (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3 of the Code) owned by a resident of the United States, a qualified REIT subsidiary (as defined in Section 856(i) of the Code) or otherwise subject to tax in the United States, any Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to Prologis and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Prologis or Administrative Agent, but only if such Non-U.S. Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(a)duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(b)duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(c)duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY,

(d)in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the applicable Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or

(e)any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit Prologis or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

Without limiting the obligations of Lenders set forth above regarding delivery of certain forms and documents to establish each Lender’s status for U.S. withholding tax purposes, each Lender agrees promptly to deliver to Administrative Agent or Prologis, as Administrative Agent or Prologis shall reasonably request, on or prior to the Closing Date (or such other date as such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement), and in a timely fashion thereafter, such other documents and forms required by any relevant taxing authority under the Laws of any other jurisdiction, duly executed and completed by such Lender, as are required under such Laws to confirm such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender outside of the U.S. by Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in such other jurisdiction.

Each Lender shall promptly (i) notify Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances that would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption from or reduction of Taxes or Other Taxes, and (ii) 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-

 

			
	
 
	
84
	
 

16257277_9

 

designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Law that any Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.  Additionally, each Borrower shall promptly deliver to the applicable Credit Party, as such Credit Party shall reasonably request, on or prior to the Closing Date, and in a timely fashion thereafter, such documents and forms required by any relevant taxing authorities under the Laws of any jurisdiction, duly executed and completed by such Borrower, as are required to be furnished by such Credit Party under such Laws in connection with any payment by such Credit Party of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, or otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents, with respect to such jurisdiction.

Section 7.1.5Exemption Representation.

(a)Each Lender represents and warrants (such Lender’s “Exemption Representation”) to the Borrowers that, as of the date of this Agreement or, in the case of a Person that becomes a Lender after the Closing Date, as of the date such Person becomes a party hereto (and, in the case of a Lender that agrees to make Loans under a Tranche, as of the date such agreement become effective), except as specified in writing to Administrative Agent and Prologis prior to the date of the applicable Exemption Representation, it is entitled to receive payments from each Borrower under each Tranche with respect to which it has a commitment to make Loans without any reduction or withholding in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without any amount being required to be paid by any applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 7.1.2; provided that the Exemption Representation shall not apply to any withholding tax imposed at any time on payments made by or on behalf of a Foreign Obligor.

(b)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be obligated to pay any amount under this Section 7.1 to, or for the benefit of, any Lender to the extent that such amount would not have been required to be paid if (i) such Lender’s Exemption Representation had been accurate or (ii) such Lender had complied with its obligations under Section 7.1.4.

Section 7.1.6Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any Credit Party determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Credit Party, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of such Credit Party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Credit Party in the event such Credit Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This Section shall not be construed to require any Credit Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

Section 7.1.7FATCA.  If a payment made to a Credit Party under any Loan Document would be subject to United States Federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Credit

Party 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 Credit Party shall deliver to each applicable Borrower and Administrative Agent,

(a) at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by any Borrower or Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including an IRS Form W-8BEN-E or as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by any such Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower or Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Credit Party has or has not complied with FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold any payment pursuant to FATCA.

(b)If any documentation provided pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 7.1.7 expires or becomes materially inaccurate, the relevant Credit Party shall promptly provide updated documentation to the relevant Borrower or Administrative Agent.

(c)Administrative Agent and each Borrower may rely on any documentation it receives from any other Credit Party pursuant to paragraph (a) above without further verification and is not liable for any action it takes under or in connection with paragraph (a) above for purposes of complying with FATCA.

Solely for purposes of this Section 7.1.7, “FATCA” shall include (i) any treaty, law or regulation of any other jurisdiction, or relating to an intergovernmental agreement between the US and any other jurisdiction which (in either case) facilitates the implementation of Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and regulations or official interpretations thereof and (ii) any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Section 7.2  Illegality.  If 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 Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any currency, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell or to take deposits of any applicable currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Prologis through Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make, continue or convert Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency shall be suspended until such Lender notifies Administrative Agent and Prologis that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars under the U.S. Tranche, Yen under the Yen Tranche, Sterling under the Sterling Tranche or Euro under the Euro Tranche, convert all applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, ABR Rate Loans or Substitute Rate Loans, as applicable, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor or on such earlier date on which such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

Section 7.3  Inability to Determine Rates.  If the Tranche Required Lenders determine for their Tranche (other than with respect to the Euro Tranche)  that (a) deposits are not being offered to banks in the applicable interbank market for the currency, amount and Interest Period for such Loans, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for the requested Interest Period for such Loans or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period for such Loans does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loans for the requested Interest Period, Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Prologis, each Borrower in the affected Tranche and each Lender in the affected Tranche.  Thereafter, the obligation of Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies for the applicable Interest Period in the affected Tranche shall be suspended until Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the applicable Tranche Required Lenders) revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower may (i) revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or (ii) if such Borrower elects not to revoke such request, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to (x) in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, Base Rate Loans and (y) in the case of Loans denominated in any other currency, Substitute Rate Loans.

Section 7.4  Increased Costs Generally.

Section 7.4.1Increased Costs.  If any Change in Law shall:

(a)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 Credit Party (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 7.4.4);

(b)subject any Credit Party to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Credit Party in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 7.1 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax); or

(c)impose on any Credit Party or any applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or any Loans made by such Credit Party;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Credit Party of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Credit Party hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon request of such Credit Party, Prologis will pay (or cause the applicable Borrower to pay) to such Credit Party, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Credit Party for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

Section 7.4.2Capital Requirements.  If any Credit Party determines that any Change in Law affecting such Credit Party or any Lending Office of such Credit Party or such Credit Party’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements or liquidity has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Credit Party’s capital or on the capital of such

16257277_9

 

Credit Party’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Credit Party or the Loans made by such Credit Party to a level below that which such Credit Party or such Credit Party’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Credit Party’s policies and the policies of such Credit Party’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time Prologis will pay (or cause the applicable Borrower to pay) to such Credit Party, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Credit Party or such Credit Party’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

Section 7.4.3Certificates for Reimbursement.  Any Credit Party requesting compensation pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall deliver to Prologis (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such request and a calculation of the amount necessary to compensate such Credit Party or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 7.4.1 or 7.4.2 above, and any such certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.  Prologis shall pay (or cause the applicable Borrower to pay) such Credit Party the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof.

Section 7.4.4Additional Reserve Requirements.  Each applicable Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (a) 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 Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error), and (b) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided each applicable Borrower shall have received at least 15 days’ prior notice (with a copy to Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender.  If a Lender fails to give notice 15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable 15 days from receipt of such notice.

Section 7.4.5Limitations on Lender Claims.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.4, no Lender shall be entitled to compensation for any cost, increased costs or liability resulting from a failure by such Lender to comply with any request from or requirement of any central banking or financial regulatory authority (whether or not having the force of law, but if not having the force of law being a request of a nature with which banks generally are expected or accustomed to comply).

Section 7.5Compensation for Losses.  Each Borrower agrees that it will, from time to time, compensate each Lender for and hold each Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of:

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

(c)any failure by such Borrower to make payment of any Loan (or interest due thereon) in the currency in which such Loan is denominated; or

(d)any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan of such Lender to such Borrower on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by Prologis pursuant to Section 14.12;

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loans or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or, solely in the case of subsection (c) above, any foreign exchange losses (but in each case excluding any loss of anticipated profits).

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by a Borrower to a Lender under this Section 7.5, (A) each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so funded; and (B) the losses and expenses of any Lender resulting from any event described in clause (a) above, any failure by a Borrower to borrow or continue a Loan as contemplated by clause (b) above or any assignment pursuant to clause (d) above shall not exceed the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of the applicable Loan had such event not occurred, at the Eurocurrency Rate applicable (or that would have been applicable) to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the applicable eurocurrency market.

Any Lender requesting compensation pursuant to this Section 7.5 shall deliver to the applicable Borrower (with copies to Prologis and Administrative Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail a calculation of the amount demanded and any such certificate shall be 

 

			
	
 
	
89
	
 

16257277_9

 

conclusive absent demonstrable error.  The applicable Borrower shall pay the applicable Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof.

Section 7.6  Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

Section 7.6.1Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Credit Party requests compensation under Section 7.4, or any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Credit Party or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Credit Party pursuant to Section 7.1, or if any Credit Party gives a notice pursuant to Section 7.2, then such Credit Party shall 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 reasonable judgment of such Credit Party, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.4, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 7.2, and (b) in each case, would not subject such Credit Party to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Credit Party.  Prologis hereby agrees to pay (or to cause the applicable Borrower to pay) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Credit Party in connection with any such designation or assignment.

Section 7.6.2Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Credit Party to demand compensation pursuant to Section 7.1, 7.4 or 7.5 shall not constitute a waiver of such Credit Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Credit Party pursuant to any such Section for any Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes, increased cost, reduction in return, funding loss or other amount (any of the foregoing, a “Compensation Amount”) incurred or suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Credit Party notified Prologis of the Change in Law or other event giving rise to such Compensation Amount and of such Credit Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law or other event giving rise to such Compensation Amount is retroactive, then the six month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 7.6.3Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 7.4, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 7.1, Prologis may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 14.12.

Section 7.7  Qualified Lender Status.  If a Lender notifies Administrative Agent (orally or in writing) that it is a Qualified Lender with respect to the imposition of a withholding tax, and (a) such Qualified Lender is subject to withholding taxes immediately prior to and after the funding of the applicable Loan, and (b) there were Fronting Lenders available to make such Loan on behalf of such Lender as set forth in Section 2.2.2(a), 3.2.2(a), 4.2.2(a) or 5.2.2(a), as applicable, then the applicable Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts under Section 7.1 with respect to withholding taxes imposed on the payments to such Lender on account of such Loan. Furthermore, Administrative Agent shall be permitted to rely solely on any notices, certificates or Assignment and Assumptions provided by any Lender regarding its status as a Qualified Lender, and Administrative Agent shall not be required to independently verify such Lender’s status or request any updates from such Lender as to whether it remains a

Qualified Lender at the time of any request for a Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.7 shall not limit any right or remedy of any Lender under this Article VII with respect to any Loan to the extent such Lender ceases to be a Qualified Lender due to a Change in Law after the funding of such Loan.

Section 7.8  Survival.  All obligations under this Article VII shall survive termination of the Aggregate Tranche Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE XIII
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 13.1  Appointment and Authority.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to 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 Administrative Agent and Lenders, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

Section 13.2  Rights as a Lender.  Any Person serving as Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender (if applicable) as any other Lender 

 

			
	
 
	
108
	
 

16257277_9

 

and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Bank of America (or any successor Administrative Agent hereunder) 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 any Company and its Affiliates as if Bank of America (or such successor) were not Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders.

Section 13.3  Exculpatory Provisions.  Administrative Agent shall have no duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 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 Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by Required Lenders (or such other number, percentage or group of Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

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

Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of Required Lenders (or such other number, percentage or group of Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 14.1 and 12.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.  Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to Administrative Agent by a Loan Party or a Lender.

Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (1) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than its own statements, warranties and representations), (2) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (3) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, 

 

			
	
 
	
109
	
 

16257277_9

 

agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (4) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (5) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article VIII or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Administrative Agent.

Section 13.4  Reliance by Administrative Agent.  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.  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 that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan.  Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Companies), 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.

Section 13.5  Delegation of Duties.  Administrative Agent may perform any 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 Administrative Agent.  Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through its Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of 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. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Credit Party for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.

Section 13.6  Resignation of Administrative Agent.  Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and Prologis.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Prologis, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of a bank with an office in the United States.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if Administrative Agent shall notify Prologis and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) 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 Administrative Agent on behalf of the 

 

			
	
 
	
110
	
 

16257277_9

 

Lenders under 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 (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender 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 and under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  The fees payable by Prologis to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as (but without duplication with) those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Prologis and such successor.  After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 14.4 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.

Section 13.7  Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon 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.

Section 13.8  No Other Duties, Etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Person named on the cover page hereof or elsewhere herein as Syndication Agent, a Joint Lead Arranger or a Joint Bookrunner shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except, if applicable, in its capacity as a Lender hereunder.

Section 13.9  Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any 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, and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders and Administrative Agent and their respective

agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders and Administrative Agent under Section 6.6 and 14.4) 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 to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due to Administrative Agent under Sections 6.6 or 14.4.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize, consent to, accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

ARTICLE XIV

112

In addition, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Prologis and Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any other Credit Party, enter into such amendments to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document as Administrative Agent may, in its reasonable opinion, determine to be necessary or appropriate to correct any ambiguity, omission or error herein, and, upon execution thereof by Prologis and Administrative Agent, any such amendment shall be binding on all of the parties hereto.

Section 14.1.2Amendments to Conforming Provisions.  The provisions in Article IX (other than Section 9.15), Article X, Article XI and Article XII contain essentially the same provisions as those contained in the corresponding representations, warranties, covenants and events of default in the Global Credit Agreement (including any defined term used in any such provision, the “Conforming Provisions”).

113
	
 

16257277_9

 

received notice of any such proposed Modification, (b) with respect to any waiver of any provision of the Global Credit Agreement that corresponds to any provision of Article XII, the appropriate lenders under the Global Credit Agreement have granted such waiver within 60 days after the occurrence of the applicable Default, (c) no Modification of the Global Credit Agreement shall result in any corresponding amendment, modification, restatement, replacement, or waiver of Section 12.1.1 and (d) if requested by a Guarantor or Administrative Agent, Borrowers, Guarantors, Administrative Agent and each Lender shall execute and deliver a written amendment to, restatement of, or waiver under, as applicable, this Agreement memorializing such amendment, modification, restatement, replacement or waiver.  In addition, the Guarantors will be obligated to pay to Administrative Agent and Lenders fees calculated in the same manner as any fees that Guarantors pay to the agents and the lenders under the Global Credit Agreements in connection with any such approved Modification.

Section 14.1.3Amendments to Extend Maturity.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (and without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.1 or the extension provisions set forth in Section 6.11), Prologis may, by written notice to Administrative Agent (which shall forward such notice to all Lenders) make an offer (a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all Lenders to make one or more amendments or modifications to allow the maturity of the Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders (as defined below) to be extended and, in connection with such extension, to (a)  increase the Applicable Margin and/or fees payable with respect to the applicable Loans and/or the Commitments of the Accepting Lenders and/or the payment of additional fees or other consideration to the Accepting Lenders and/or (b) change such additional terms and conditions (to the extent not otherwise approved by the requisite Lenders under Section 14.1) of this Agreement solely as applicable to the Accepting Lenders (such additional changed terms and conditions to be effective only during the period following the original maturity date prior to its extension by such Accepting Lenders) (collectively, “Permitted Amendments”) pursuant to procedures reasonably acceptable to each of Prologis and Administrative Agent.  Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendments and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 15 days nor more than 90 days after the date of such notice).  Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments of the Lenders that accept the Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made.  Prologis, each Accepting Lender and Administrative Agent shall enter into a loan modification agreement (the “Loan Modification Agreement”) and such other documentation as Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence (x) the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof and (y) the authorization of Prologis to enter into and perform its obligations under the Loan Modification Agreement.  Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement.  Each party hereto agrees that, upon the effectiveness of a Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as to which such Lenders’ acceptance has been made.  Prologis may effectuate no more than two Loan Modification Agreements during the term of this Agreement.

Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Qualified Institutions all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 14.6.2, participations in Fronting Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that

(a)except in the case of an assignment from a Lender in a Tranche to any affiliate of such Lender or to another Lender in the same Tranche (other than, in each case, a Defaulting Lender), Administrative Agent and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Prologis each shall have provided its prior written consent thereto (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(c)each partial assignment under a particular Tranche shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under such Tranche with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (c) shall not apply to rights in respect of Fronting Loans;

(d)any assignment of a Commitment under any Tranche must be approved by each applicable Fronting Lender (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(e)to the extent that a Lender is assigning any portion of its Commitment or Loans under more than one Tranche, then such Lender must submit a separate Assignment and Assumption for each Tranche and each such assignment shall be deemed a separate assignment under this Section 14.6; and

(f)the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 payable to Administrative Agent (which fee is not an obligation of any Loan Party) and the Qualified Institution, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 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 14.6.4.

Section 14.6.3Register.  Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrowers, shall maintain at such 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 Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by any party hereto at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Section 14.6.4Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Loan Party or Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or Prologis or any of Prologis’ Affiliates or any Eligible Affiliates) (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 Fronting Loans) owing to it); provided that (a) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (c) Loan Parties, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (d) such Lender agrees to be responsible for withholding any Taxes from payments to such Participant to the extent such withholding is required by Law. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrowers, 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 Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, 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, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall not have any responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

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 clause (y) of the first proviso to Section 14.1.1 that affects such Participant.  Subject to Section 14.6.5, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of, and be subject to the obligations in, Sections 7.1, 7.4 and 7.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 14.6.2.  To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 14.8 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 6.10 as though it were a Lender.

Section 14.6.5Limitation upon Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 7.1 or 7.4 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 Prologis’ prior written consent.  A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.1 unless Prologis is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrowers, to comply with Section 7.1.4 as though it were a Lender.

Section 14.6.6Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in any of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank or the central bank of any other country in which such Lender is organized; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 14.7  Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.  Each Credit Party 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, advisors 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 or its Affiliates (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws 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 as those of this Section, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or Participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to a Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of Prologis or (h) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Company relating to any Loan Party or any Company or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the applicable Credit Party on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Loan Party or any Company.

Each Credit Party acknowledges that (1) the Information may include material non-public information concerning any Loan Party or any Company, as the case may be, (2) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (3) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws.

Section 14.8  Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent 

 

			
	
 
	
122
	
 

16257277_9

 

permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply 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 or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any of the obligations of such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness.  The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have.  Each Lender agrees to notify Prologis and 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.

Section 14.9  Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest (including any fees or charges which are deemed as interest under applicable Laws) 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 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 applicable Borrower.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by 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.

Section 14.10 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 all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  Except as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall become effective when Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each party hereto.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 14.11 Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document 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 provision with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(b)subject to Section 14.12.2(b) in the case of a Sanctioned Lender, such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 7.5) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and accrued fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 7.4 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 7.1, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(e)such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws (including any applicable Sanction).

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 Prologis to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 14.12.2Sanctioned Lenders.  

(a)The Borrowers shall have no obligation to pay any Lender an unused fee pursuant to Section 6.6.3 for any day on which such Lender is a Sanctioned Lender.

(d)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if it would be unlawful for any Borrower, Administrative Agent or any assignee pursuant to Section 14.12.1(a) to make a payment to any Sanctioned Lender, then any amount that such Borrower, Administrative Agent or such assignee would otherwise pay to such Sanctioned Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be held for such Sanctioned Lender pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to such Borrower, Administrative Agent and such assignee, in each case as applicable, and shall be paid to such Lender only when making such payment is no longer unlawful.

Section 14.13 Additional Fronting Lenders; Change in Fronting Commitments.

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 applicable Credit Party from such Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the applicable Credit Party against such loss.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the applicable Credit Party in such currency, such Credit Party agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable Law).

Section 14.21 ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.

Section 14.22 Amendment and Restatement of Existing Credit Agreement.  This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Existing Credit Agreement. On the Closing Date, the Lenders shall severally purchase from each other and from any Lenders (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) that are not Lenders hereunder (the “Non-Continuing Lenders”), the Commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement of such Non-Continuing Lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement so that, after giving effect to such purchase and to any Loans made on the Closing Date, the Commitments and the principal indebtedness owing under this Agreement are held by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages, and the Non-Continuing Lenders shall cease to be a party to the Existing Credit Agreement and shall not be parties to this Agreement.  Such purchases shall have been deemed to have been automatically made hereunder without the necessity of the execution and delivery of any assignment documentation, on an as-is, where-is basis by the Non-Continuing Lenders and any Non-Continuing Lender shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of this Section 14.22.  In addition, on the Closing Date, any Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be converted to the Dollar Equivalent thereof and shall be U.S. Loans under this Agreement.

Section 14.23 No Fiduciary Duty.  In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its respective Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) the credit facilities provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between such Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, and such Borrower is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, Administrative Agent and each Arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary for such Borrower or any of its Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees; (iii) none of Administrative Agent, or either Arranger has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of such Borrower with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the

process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether Administrative Agent or any Arranger has advised or is currently advising such Borrower or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and none of Administrative Agent or any Arranger has any obligation to such Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (iv) Administrative Agent and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of such Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of Administrative Agent or either Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) Administrative Agent and the Arrangers have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and such Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate.  Each Borrower hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any claim that it may have against Administrative Agent and the Arrangers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.

Section 14.24 Sanctions Representation by Credit Parties.  Each Credit Party (a) certifies to each Loan Party that it is not a Sanctioned Person and (b) agrees that if at any time it becomes a Sanctioned Person, it will promptly notify Prologis and Administrative Agent.

Section 14.25 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents.  The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including Assignment and Assumptions, amendments or other modifications, the Loan Notices and waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by Administrative Agent, 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 law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Administrative Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it.

ARTICLE XV
GUARANTIES

Section 15.1  The Guaranties.  In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by each of General Partner and Prologis from the proceeds of the Loans, each Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, jointly and severally, as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of all of the Guaranteed Obligations of the applicable Designated

16257277_9

 

Borrowers and the due performance and compliance with all terms, conditions and agreements contained in the Loan Documents by each such Designated Borrower.  If any of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Designated Borrowers to Administrative Agent and/or any Lender becomes due and payable hereunder, each Guarantor unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to Administrative Agent and/or such Lender, as applicable, on demand, together with all reasonable and documented expenses which may be incurred by Administrative Agent or such Lender in collecting any of the Guaranteed Obligations.  If claim is ever made upon Administrative Agent and/or any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including any Designated Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon such entity, notwithstanding any revocation of the applicable guaranty under this Article XV or other instrument evidencing any liability of any Designated Borrower, and each Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.

Section 15.2  Insolvency.  Additionally, each Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of all of the Guaranteed Obligations of the applicable Designated Borrowers to the Credit Parties, whether or not due or payable by any such Designated Borrower, upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 12.1.6, and unconditionally promises to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to the Credit Parties on demand.

Section 15.3  Absolute and Unconditional Guaranty.  The guaranty provided by Guarantors under this Article XV is intended to be an irrevocable, absolute and continuing guaranty of payment and is not a guaranty of collection.  This guaranty may not be revoked by either Guarantor.  The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations of any Designated Borrower whether executed by a Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person, and the liability of each Guarantor hereunder is not affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by any Designated Borrower or by any other Person; or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other Person as to the Guaranteed Obligations of any Designated Borrower; or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking; or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by any Designated Borrower; or (e) any payment made to any Credit Party on the Guaranteed Obligations that such Credit Party repays to any Designated Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each Guarantor waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.  The guaranty and liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall in all respects be a continuing, irrevocable, absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not only collectability, and shall remain in full force and effect (notwithstanding, without limitation, the dissolution of any Designated Borrower, that at any time or from time to time no Guaranteed Obligations are outstanding or any other circumstance) until all Commitments have terminated and, subject to the last sentence of Section 15.1, all Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full.

 

			
	
 
	
131
	
 

16257277_9

 

Section 15.4Independent Obligation.  The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other guarantor, any other party or any Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against one or both Guarantors whether or not action is brought against any other guarantor, any other party or any Borrower and whether or not any other guarantor, any other party or any Borrower is joined in any such action or actions.  Each Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof.  Any payment by a Borrower or other circumstance that operates to toll any statute of limitations as to such Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each Guarantor’s obligations under this Article XV.

Section 15.5Authorization.  Each Guarantor authorizes the Credit Parties without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

(a)change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and the guaranty of each Guarantor herein made shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;

(b)take and hold security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset thereagainst;

(c)exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any Borrower or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(d)release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, Borrowers or other obligors;

(e)settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Borrower to its creditors other than the Credit Parties;

(f)apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of any Borrower to the Credit Parties regardless of what liability or liabilities of either Guarantor or any Borrower remain unpaid;

(g)consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or

 

			
	
 
	
132
	
 

16257277_9

 

(h)take any other action that would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor from its liabilities under this Article XV;

it being understood that the foregoing shall not permit any action by Administrative Agent or any Lender that is not otherwise permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

The Guaranteed Obligations shall not be affected by any acts of any Governmental Authority affecting any Borrower including any restrictions on the conversion of currency or repatriation or control of funds or any total or partial expropriation of any Borrower’s property, or by economic, political, regulatory or other events in the countries where any Borrower is located.

Section 15.6Reliance.  It is not necessary for any Credit Party to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Borrower or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

Section 15.7Subordination.  Any indebtedness of any Borrower relating to the Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter owing to either Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations of such Borrower owing to the Credit Parties, and if Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness relating to the Guaranteed Obligations of such Borrower to each Guarantor shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor for the benefit of the Credit Parties and be paid over to Administrative Agent on behalf of the Credit Parties on account of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Borrower to the Credit Parties, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of either Guarantor under the other provisions of this Article XV.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Credit Parties that it will not exercise any right of subrogation that it may at any time otherwise have as a result of the guaranty under this Article XV (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until, subject to the last sentence of Section 15.1, all Guaranteed Obligations (other than Surviving Obligations) have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.

Section 15.8Waivers.

(a)Each Guarantor waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Credit Party to (i) proceed against any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Credit Party’s power whatsoever.  Each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, based on or arising out of the disability of any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, or the validity, legality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.  The Credit Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security, if any, held by Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such 

 

			
	
 
	
133
	
 

16257277_9

 

sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable Law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Credit Parties may have against any Borrower or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of either Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid.  Each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Credit Parties, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against any Borrower or any other party or any security.

(b)Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including notices of any Event of Default, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of the guaranty hereunder, notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations, and notices of any Credit Party’s transfer or disposition of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof.  Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which it assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise it of information known to it regarding such circumstances or risks.

Section 15.9Nature of Liability.  It is the desire and intent of each Guarantor and the Credit Parties that this Article XV shall be enforced against each Guarantor to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.  If, however, and to the extent that, the obligations of a Guarantor under this Article XV shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers), then the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to be reduced and the applicable Guarantor shall pay the maximum amount of the Guaranteed Obligations which would be permissible under applicable Law.
