(e)           Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender.  If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

 

SECTION 2.06.Taxes.  (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under any Note shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.06, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto (i) that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction of the Administrative Agent or such Lender’s office or any political subdivision thereof, (ii) that are imposed as a result of its own tax liabilities, or (iii) that are imposed as a consequence of its own tax attributes or foreign taxpayer  status (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under any Note being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).  If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have made all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.06) such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make all such deductions, and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

(b)           In addition, the Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, property, or similar taxes, charges, or levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under  any Notes or from the execution, delivery, or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Notes (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

For purposes of subsection (d) of this Section 2.06, the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

SECTION 2.07.Sharing of Payments, Etc.  If any Lender shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise, other than as a result of an assignment pursuant to Section 8.07 or the result of the prepayment of the Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.03) (a) on account of Obligations due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the any Note at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under any Note at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under any Note at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time, or (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under any Note at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under any Note at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under any promissory note given in connection with the Loans at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time, such Lender shall forthwith pay such portion of such received payment to the other Lender so that each Lender shall have received its ratable share of such received payment.

ARTICLE VII

 

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

 

SECTION 7.01.Authorization and Action; Nature of Duties.  Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.  As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Notes), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall be required to take any action that exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law.  The Administrative Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each written notice given to it by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the use of the word “Agent” in reference to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders expressly agree that the Administrative Agent is not acting as a fiduciary of any Lender in respect of this Agreement, the Notes, the Guaranties and the Collateral Documents, the Borrower or otherwise, and nothing herein or in any of such documents shall result in any duties or obligations on the Administrative Agent for any of the Lenders except as expressly set forth herein.

 

SECTION 7.02.Administration of the Loans by the Administrative Agent.

 

(a)           The Administrative Agent shall administer and service the Loans in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Notes, the Collateral Documents, and the other Loan Documents and with the same degree of care as the Administrative Agent would use in servicing a loan of similar size and type held for its own account.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Event of Default or matter which with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, exist hereunder unless it is advised to the contrary by any of the Lenders or the Borrower or any of its officers acting in the administration of the Loans have actual knowledge to the contrary.

 

(b)           If the Administrative Agent requests the consent of a Lender to any action, decision, communication, consent or approval, to be given, taken or provided by the Administrative Agent under or pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or requests instructions from any Lender with respect thereto, then each request shall be given in the form of a written notice to each Lender and shall be accompanied by such information as is reasonable and necessary in the Administrative Agent’s judgment to enable the Lenders to make the determination, approval, consent or disapproval that is requested.  Any Lender may, at any time, request such additional information that it believes is necessary to make any decision and the Administrative Agent shall provide the same to the extent it has reasonable access to it.  Each Lender shall reply within ten (10) Business Days from the later of the date of each Lender's acknowledged receipt of the original request, or each Lender's acknowledged  receipt of such information unless the Administrative Agent, in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, determines that a shorter period of time is required under the circumstances or under this Agreement, the Notes, the Collateral Documents, and the other Loan Documents require a shorter period of time, and indicates a shorter period in writing as part of the initial written notice to each Lender.  If any Lender does not respond within the timeframe required herein, after such request is made, such Lender shall be deemed to have given its consent thereto.

  

41

  

 

SECTION 7.03.Administrative Agent’s Reliance.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:  (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until, in the case of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by the Lender that is the payee of such Note, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with the Loan Documents; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Loan Document on the part of any Loan Party or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Loan Party; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, any Loan Document, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; and (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telegram, telecopy or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

 

SECTION 7.04.Lender’s Credit Decision.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01(g) and such other 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 the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.

 

SECTION 7.05.Indemnification.  Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender’s ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under the Loan Documents in its capacity as Agent and not as a Lender (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 8.04, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower.  In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 7.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person.  For purposes of this Section 7.05, the Lenders’ respective ratable shares of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding at such time and owing to the respective Lender.  The failure of any Lender to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lender to the Administrative Agent as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse the Administrative Agent for such Lender’s ratable share of such amount.  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender contained in this Section 7.05 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

  

42

  

SECTION 7.06.Proceeds of Collateral; Enforcement of Proceeds.

 

(a)           Upon the receipt of any proceeds from the sale or other disposition of any Collateral, the Administrative Agent will, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c), if applicable, deliver such proceeds to the Lenders in accordance with the pro rata portions of the Loans outstanding at such time.  Title to any collateral acquired in connection with the exercise of the Lender's remedies under the Collateral Documents shall be held as determined by the Required Lenders or by such nominee as the Administrative Agent shall appoint, in either case, for the pro rata benefit of all of the Lenders.

 

(b)           If Administrative Agent or any Lender’s nominee acquires title to any property (collectively, the “Recovered Property”) as to which a collateral or security interest had been taken to secure the Loans, the Administrative Agent will consult with the Lenders for the purpose of developing a plan (a “Disposition Plan”) for dealing with the Recovered Property that is acceptable to the Required Lenders and each of the Lenders agrees to attempt to reach agreement on a reasonable Disposition Plan. If, within a reasonable time (in no event to exceed sixty 60 days after Administrative Agent first notifies Lenders that it desires to consult with them for this purpose), the Required Lenders are unable to agree on a Disposition Plan, then Administrative Agent will deliver to the Lenders a Disposition Plan acceptable to the Administrative Agent which will serve as the Disposition Plan until such time as the Required Lenders approve a replacement plan.  If title to any Recovered Property is obtained by Administrative Agent or any Lender's nominee, and the Required Lenders do not approve a Disposition Plan relating thereto within the time specified above, such Recovered Property will not be held as a permanent investment but will be liquidated at arms length to a third party as soon as, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent (without the consent or approval of any other Lender), it is reasonably practical or appropriate to do so, taking into account the then current economic and market conditions and the objectives of minimizing the losses to the Lenders.  If a Disposition Plan has been approved by the Required Lenders, such Disposition Plan may be amended or replaced by the same procedure, i.e., by agreement of the Required Lenders or, if the Required Lenders cannot agree thereon, then by the Administrative Agent unilaterally delivering to the Lenders an amendment or replacement satisfactory to the Administrative Agent after sixty (60) days have passed from the time the Administrative Agent requested Lenders' approval of such proposed amendment or replacement, which amendment, modification or replacement shall govern until such time as to the Required Lenders shall have approved an alternative thereto.

 

(c)           Upon demand by Administrative Agent therefore, from time to time, each Lender will contribute its pro rata share (in accordance with the respective ownership of the Loans) of all reasonable costs and expenses paid, incurred, or required by the Administrative Agent to pursue any remedies as directed by the Required Lenders available under this Agreement, the Notes, the Collateral Documents, and the other Loan Documents and pursuant to any Disposition Plan in connection with the ownership, disposition and/or sale of the Recovered Property.

  

43

  

SECTION 7.07.Successors and Assigns.  The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders.  Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent and, upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents.  If within forty-five (45) days after written notice is given of the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal under this Section 7.07 no successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (a) the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal shall become effective, (b) the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, and (c) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent shall have become effective, the provisions of this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, certain of the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents in respect thereof are subject to the terms and conditions of the Lien Subordination Agreement.

 

SECTION 8.14.Effect of Conversion of the Convertible Note. If the Convertible Note issued in connection with this Agreement is converted into equity in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Note, then the principal amount of the Convertible Note converted into equity shall be considered paid in full and the Borrower shall have no further obligations to repay the principal amount of the Convertible Note so converted.  At such time, the Convertible Note Holder shall surrender the Convertible Note to the Borrower in exchange for a new convertible note that sets forth the new principal amount due from the Borrower to the Convertible Note Holder.  If the entire principal amount of the Convertible Note is converted into equity, then the Convertible Note shall be considered paid in full and the Borrower shall have no further obligations to repay the Convertible Note hereunder.

 

SECTION 8.15.No Third Party Beneficiaries. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each party hereto, and it is not the intention of the parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other Person.
