INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

 

THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of January 10, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Government Properties Income Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”), and Mark L. Kleifges (“Indemnitee”).

 

WHEREAS, Indemnitee currently serves as the Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and may, in connection therewith, be subjected to claims, suits or proceedings arising from such service; and

 

WHEREAS, as an inducement to Indemnitee to continue to serve as such Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company has agreed to indemnify and to advance expenses and costs incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any such claims, suits or proceedings, to the maximum extent permitted by law as hereinafter provided; and

 

WHEREAS, the parties by this Agreement desire to set forth their agreement regarding indemnification and advance of expenses;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

 

Section 1.           Definitions.  For purposes of this Agreement:

 

(a)       “Change in Control” means a change in control of the Company occurring after the Effective Date of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or in response to any similar item on any similar schedule or form) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement; provided, however, that, without limitation, such a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred if after the Effective Date (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Act) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 10% or more of the combined voting power of all the Company’s then-outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of trustees without the prior approval of at least two-thirds of the members of the Board of Trustees of the Company (the “Board of Trustees”) in office immediately prior to such person attaining such percentage interest; (ii) there occurs a proxy contest, or the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, sale of assets, plan of liquidation or other reorganization not approved by at least two-thirds of the members of the Board of Trustees then in office, as a consequence of which members of the Board of Trustees in office immediately prior to such transaction or event 

 

 

constitute less than a majority of the Board of Trustees thereafter; or (iii) during any period of two consecutive years, other than as a result of an event described in clause (a)(ii) of this Section 1, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board of Trustees (including for this purpose any new trustee whose election or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the trustees then still in office who were trustees at the beginning of such period) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Trustees.

 

(b)       “Corporate Status” means the status of a person who is or was a director, trustee, officer or agent of the Company and the status of a person who, while a director, trustee, officer or agent of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, trustee, officer or agent of another foreign or domestic real estate investment trust, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or employee benefit plan.

 

(c)       “Disinterested Trustee” means a trustee of the Company who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification and/or advance of Expenses is sought by Indemnitee.

 

(d)       “Expenses” means all expenses, including, but not limited to, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, and all other disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, or being or preparing to be a witness in a Proceeding.

 

(e)       “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, selected by the Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable to the Company, that is experienced in matters of business law and that neither is, nor in the past two years has been, retained to represent (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other than with respect to matters concerning Indemnitee under this Agreement or of other indemnities of the Company under similar indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party to or participant or witness in the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification or advance of Expenses hereunder.

 

(f)        “Proceeding” means any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, administrative hearing or any other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including on appeal), except one initiated by an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 9.

 

Section 2.           Indemnification - General.  The Company shall indemnify, and advance Expenses to, Indemnitee (a) as provided in this Agreement and (b) otherwise to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect on the Effective Date and as amended from time to 

 

2

 

time; provided, however, that no change in Maryland law shall have the effect of reducing the benefits available to Indemnitee hereunder based on Maryland law as in effect on the Effective Date.  The rights of Indemnitee provided in this Section 2 shall include, without limitation, the rights set forth in the other sections of this Agreement, including any additional indemnification permitted by Section 2-418(g) of the Maryland General Corporation Law (“MGCL”), as applicable to a Maryland real estate investment trust by virtue of Section 8-301(15) of the Maryland REIT Law.

 

Section 3.           Proceedings Other Than Derivative Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company.  Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 3 if, by reason of his Corporate Status, he is, or is threatened to be, made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed Proceeding, other than a derivative Proceeding by or in the right of the Company (or, if applicable, such other enterprise at which Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company).  Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement and all Expenses incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with a Proceeding by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status unless it is established that (i) the act or omission of Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the Proceeding and (a) was committed in bad faith or (b) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (ii) Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services, or (iii) in the case of any criminal Proceeding, Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

Section 4.           Derivative Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company.  Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 4 if, by reason of his Corporate Status, he is, or is threatened to be, made a party to any threatened, pending or completed derivative Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company (or, if applicable, such other enterprise at which Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company) to procure a judgment in its favor.  Pursuant to this Section 4, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all amounts paid in settlement and all Expenses incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding unless it is established that (i) the act or omission of Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to such a Proceeding and (a) was committed in bad faith or (b) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty or (ii) Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services.

 

Section 5.           Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Partly Successful.  Without limitation on Section 3 and Section 4, if Indemnitee is not wholly successful in any Proceeding covered by this Agreement, but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee under this Section 5 for all Expenses incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter, allocated on a reasonable and proportionate basis.  For purposes of this Section and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

 

Section 6.           Advance of Expenses.  The Company shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be, made a party or a witness, within ten days after the receipt by the Company of a 

 

3

 

statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding.  Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by a written affirmation by Indemnitee of Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company as authorized by law and by this Agreement has been met and a written undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or in such form as may be required under applicable law as in effect at the time of the execution thereof, to reimburse the portion of any Expenses advanced to Indemnitee relating to claims, issues or matters in the Proceeding as to which it shall ultimately be established that the standard of conduct has not been met and which have not been successfully resolved as described in Section 5.  To the extent that Expenses advanced to Indemnitee do not relate to a specific claim, issue or matter in the Proceeding, such Expenses shall be allocated on a reasonable and proportionate basis.  The undertaking required by this Section 6 shall be an unlimited general obligation by or on behalf of Indemnitee and shall be accepted without reference to Indemnitee’s financial ability to repay such advanced Expenses and without any requirement to post security therefor.

 

Section 7.           Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.

 

(a)       To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification.  The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board of Trustees in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.

 

(b)       Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 7(a) hereof, a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall promptly be made in the specific case: (i) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Trustees, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; or (ii) if a Change of Control shall not have occurred or if after a Change of Control Indemnitee shall so request, (A) by the Board of Trustees (or a duly authorized committee thereof) by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Trustees (as herein defined), or (B) if a quorum of the Board of Trustees consisting of Disinterested Trustees is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, such quorum of Disinterested Trustees so directs, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Trustees, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, or (C) if so directed by a majority of the members of the Board of Trustees, by the shareholders of the Company; and, if it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten days after such determination.  Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination.  Any Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity

 

4

 

making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company shall indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

 

(c)       The Company shall pay the fees and expenses of Independent Counsel, if one is appointed pursuant to this Section 7.

 

Section 8.           Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.

 

(a)       In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 7(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making of any determination contrary to that presumption.

 

(b)       The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, does not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct described herein for indemnification.

 

Section 9.           Remedies of Indemnitee.

 

(a)       If (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 7 that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advance of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 6, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 7(b) within 30 days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 5 within ten days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, or (v) payment of indemnification is not made within ten days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, Indemnitee shall (A) unless the Company demands arbitration as provided by Section 16, be entitled to an adjudication in an appropriate court of the State of Maryland or in any other court of competent jurisdiction or (B) be entitled to seek an award in arbitration as provided by Section 16, in each case of his entitlement to such indemnification or advance of Expenses.

 

(b)       In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 9, the Company shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advance of Expenses, as the case may be.

 

(c)       If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 7(b) that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in 

 

5

 

any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 9, absent a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification.

 

(d)       In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 9, seeks a judicial adjudication of or an award in arbitration as provided by Section 16 to enforce his rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement by the Company, Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover in full from the Company, and shall be indemnified in full by the Company for, any and all Expenses incurred by him in such judicial adjudication or arbitration if it is determined that the Indemnitee is entitled to enforce any of his rights under, or to recover any damages for breach of, this Agreement by the Company.

 

Section 10.         Defense of the Underlying Proceeding.

 

(a)       Indemnitee shall notify the Company promptly upon being served with or receiving any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information, notice, request or other document relating to any Proceeding which may result in the right to indemnification or the advance of Expenses hereunder; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not disqualify Indemnitee from the right, or otherwise affect in any manner any right of Indemnitee, to indemnification or the advance of Expenses under this Agreement unless the Company’s ability to defend in such Proceeding or to obtain proceeds under any insurance policy is materially and adversely prejudiced thereby, and then only to the extent the Company is thereby actually so prejudiced.

 

(b)       Subject to the provisions of the last sentence of this Section 10(b) and of Section 10(c) below, the Company shall have the right to defend Indemnitee in any Proceeding which may give rise to indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that the Company shall notify Indemnitee of any such decision to defend within 15 calendar days following receipt of notice of any such Proceeding under Section 10(a) above, and the counsel selected by the Company shall be reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee.  The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, consent to the entry of any judgment against Indemnitee or enter into any settlement or compromise which (i) includes an admission of fault of Indemnitee or (ii) does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the full release of Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Proceeding, which release shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. This Section 10(b) shall not apply to a Proceeding brought by Indemnitee under Section 9 above or Section 15.

 

(c)       Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10(b), if in a Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, (i) Indemnitee reasonably concludes, based upon an opinion of counsel approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, that he may have separate defenses or counterclaims to assert with respect to any issue which may not be consistent with other defendants in such Proceeding, (ii) Indemnitee reasonably concludes, based upon an opinion of 

 

6

 

counsel approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, that an actual or apparent conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest exists between Indemnitee and the Company, or (iii) the Company fails to assume the defense of such Proceeding in a timely manner, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be represented by separate legal counsel of Indemnitee’s choice, subject to the prior approval of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, at the expense of the Company.  In addition, if the Company fails to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or in the event that the Company or any other person takes any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any Proceeding to deny or to recover from Indemnitee the benefits intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall have the right to retain counsel of Indemnitee’s choice, subject to the prior approval of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, at the expense of the Company (subject to Section 9(d)), to represent Indemnitee in connection with any such matter.

 

Section 11.             Liability Insurance.  To the extent the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for any of its directors, trustees or officers, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies, in accordance with its or their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any Company director, trustee or officer during the Indemnitee’s tenure as a director, trustee or officer and, following a termination of Indemnitee’s service in connection with a Change in Control, for a period of six years thereafter.

 

Section 12.         Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Subrogation.

 

(a)       The rights of indemnification and advance of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Declaration of Trust”) or Bylaws of the Company (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Bylaws”), any agreement or a resolution of the shareholders entitled to vote generally in the election of trustees or of the Board of Trustees, or otherwise.  No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal.

 

(b)       In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

 

(c)       The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable or payable or reimbursable as Expenses hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

Section 13.         Binding Effect.

 

(a)       The indemnification and advance of Expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Agreement shall be binding upon and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Company or of any other real estate investment trust, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which such person is or was serving at the written request of the Company, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and his or her spouse, assigns, heirs, devisees, executors and administrators and other legal representatives.

 

(b)       Any successor of the Company (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company shall be automatically deemed to have assumed and agreed to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place, provided that no such assumption shall relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder.  To the extent required by applicable law to give effect to the foregoing sentence and to the extent requested by Indemnitee, the Company shall require and cause any such successor to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee.

 

Section 14.         Severability.  If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.

 

Section 15.         Limitation and Exception to Right of Indemnification or Advance of Expenses.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (a) any indemnification or advance of Expenses to which Indemnitee is otherwise entitled under the terms of this Agreement shall be made only to the extent such indemnification or advance of Expenses does not conflict with applicable Maryland law and (b) Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification or advance of Expenses under this Agreement with respect to any Proceeding brought by Indemnitee, unless (i) the Proceeding is brought to enforce indemnification under this Agreement, the Declaration of Trust, the Bylaws, liability insurance policy or policies, if any, or otherwise or (ii) the Declaration of Trust, the Bylaws, a resolution of the shareholders entitled to vote generally in the election of trustees or of the Board of Trustees or an agreement approved by the Board of Trustees to which the Company is a party expressly provides otherwise.

 

8

 

Section 16.        Arbitration.

 

(a)       Any disputes, claims or controversies between the parties (i) regarding the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification or advance of Expenses hereunder or otherwise arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or (ii) brought by or on behalf of any shareholder of the Company (which, for purposes of this Section 16, shall mean any shareholder of record or any beneficial owner of shares of the Company, or any former shareholder of record or beneficial owner of shares of the Company), either on his own behalf, on behalf of the Company or on behalf of any series or class of shares of the Company or shareholders of the Company against the Company or any trustee, officer, manager (including Reit Management & Research LLC or its successor), agent or employee of the Company, including disputes, claims or controversies relating to the meaning, interpretation, effect, validity, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, the Declaration of Trust or the Bylaws (all of which are referred to as “Disputes”) or relating in any way to such a Dispute or Disputes, shall on the demand of any party to such Dispute be resolved through binding and final arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect, except as modified herein.  For the avoidance of doubt, and not as a limitation, Disputes are intended to include derivative actions against trustees, officers or managers of the Company and class actions by a shareholder against those individuals or entities and the Company.

 

(b)       There shall be three arbitrators.  If there are (i) only two parties to the Dispute, each party shall select one arbitrator within 15 days after receipt by respondent of a copy of the demand for arbitration and (ii) more than two parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, shall each select, by the vote of a majority of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be, one arbitrator.  The two party-nominated arbitrators shall jointly nominate the third and presiding arbitrator within 15 days of the nomination of the second arbitrator.  If any arbitrator has not been nominated within the time limit specified herein, then the AAA shall provide a list of proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules and the arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with a listing, striking and ranking procedure, with each party having a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause.  For the avoidance of doubt, the arbitrators appointed by the parties to such Dispute may be affiliates or interested persons of such parties but the third arbitrator elected by the party arbitrators or by the AAA shall be unaffiliated with either party.

 

(c)       The place of arbitration shall be Boston, Massachusetts unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

 

(d)       There shall be only limited documentary discovery of documents directly related to the issues in dispute, as may be ordered by the arbitrators.

 

(e)       In rendering an award or decision (the “Award”), the arbitrators shall be required to follow the laws of the State of Maryland.  Any arbitration proceedings or Award rendered hereunder and the validity, effect and interpretation of this arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq. The Award shall be in writing

 

9

 

and may, but shall not be required to, briefly state the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which it is based.

 

(f)        Except to the extent expressly provided by this Agreement (including Section 5 and Section 9(d)) or as otherwise agreed between the parties, each party involved in a Dispute shall bear its own costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), and the arbitrators shall not render an award that would include shifting of any such costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or, in a derivative case or class action by a shareholder of the Company, award any portion of the Company’s award to the claimant or the claimant’s attorneys.  Each party (or, if there are more than two parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, respectively) shall bear the costs and expenses of its (or their) selected arbitrator and the parties (or, if there are more than two parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand) shall equally bear the costs and expenses of the third appointed arbitrator.

 

(g)       The Award shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between such parties relating to the Dispute, including any claims, counterclaims, issues or accounting presented to the arbitrators.  Judgment upon the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, no application or appeal to any court of competent jurisdiction may be made in connection with any question of law arising in the course of arbitration or with respect to any award made except for actions relating to enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate or any arbitral award issued hereunder and except for actions seeking interim or other provisional relief in aid of arbitration proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(h)       Any monetary award shall be made and payable in U.S. dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset.  The party against which the Award assesses a monetary obligation shall pay that obligation on or before the 30th day following the date of the Award or such other date as the Award may provide.

 

Section 17.            Period of Limitations.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, no legal action shall be brought, and no cause of action shall be asserted, by or on behalf of the Company or any controlled affiliate of the Company against Indemnitee, Indemnitee’s spouse, heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives after the expiration of two years from the date of accrual of such cause of action, and any claim or cause of action of the Company or its controlled affiliate shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal action within such two-year period; provided, however, if any shorter period of limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action, such shorter period shall govern.

 

Section 18.            Reports to Shareholders.  To the extent required by the MGCL, the Company shall report in writing to its shareholders the payment of any amounts for indemnification of, or advance of Expenses to, Indemnitee under this Agreement arising out of a derivative Proceeding by or in the right of the Company with the notice of the meeting of

 

10

 

shareholders of the Company next following the date of the payment of any such indemnification or advance of Expenses or prior to such meeting.

 

Section 19.        Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.  One such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought shall be sufficient to evidence the existence of this Agreement.

 

Section 20.        Headings.  The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.

 

Section 21.        Modification and Waiver.  No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto.  No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

 

Section 22.        Notices.  Any notice, report or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing unless some other method of giving such notice, report or other communication is accepted by the party to whom it is given, and shall be given by being delivered at the following addresses to the parties hereto:

 

(a)       If to Indemnitee, to:  The address set forth on the signature page hereto.

 

(b)       If to the Company to:

Section 23.        Governing Law.  The parties agree that this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to its conflicts of laws rules.

Section 2.                                            Commitments, Loans and Prepayments.

 

2.01.                        Syndicated Loans. Each Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make loans to the Company in Dollars during the period from and including the Effective Date to but not including the Commitment Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to but not exceeding the amount of the Commitment of such Bank as in effect from time to time. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during such period the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow the amount of the Commitments, and may Convert Syndicated Loans of one Type into Syndicated Loans of another Type (as provided in Section 2.09) or Continue Syndicated Loans of one Type as Syndicated Loans of the same Type (as provided in Section 2.09); provided that no more than six separate Interest Periods in respect of Eurodollar Loans from each Bank may be outstanding at any one time.

 

2.02.                        Borrowings of Syndicated Loans. The Company shall give the Administrative Agent notice of each borrowing hereunder as provided in Section 4.05 hereof. Not later than 1:00 p.m. New York time on the date specified for each borrowing of Syndicated Loans hereunder, each Bank shall make available the amount of the Syndicated Loan or Loans to be made by it on such date to the Administrative Agent, at an account in New York designated by the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, for account of the Company. The amount so received by the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to the Company by depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in an account of the Company designated by the Company.

 

2.03.                        Money Market Loans.

 

(a)                                  Types of Money Market Loans. In addition to borrowings of Syndicated Loans, at any time prior to the Commitment Termination Date the Company may, as set forth in this Section 2.03, request the Banks to make offers to make Money Market Loans to the

 

19

 

Company in Dollars. The Banks may, but shall have no obligation to, make such offers and the Company may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set forth in this Section 2.03. Money Market Loans may be LIBOR Market Loans or Set Rate Loans (each a “Type” of Money Market Loan), provided that:

 

(i)                                     there may be no more than fifteen different Interest Periods for both Syndicated Loans and Money Market Loans outstanding at the same time (for which purpose Interest Periods described in different lettered clauses of the definition of the term “Interest Period” shall be deemed to be different Interest Periods even if they are coterminous); and

 

(ii)                                  the aggregate principal amount of all Money Market Loans, together with the aggregate principal amount of all Syndicated Loans, at any one time outstanding shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments at such time.

 

(b)                                 Requests by Company. When the Company wishes to request offers to make Money Market Loans, the Company shall give the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Banks) notice (a “Money Market Quote Request”) so as to be received no later than 11:00 a.m. New York time on (x) the fourth Business Day prior to the date of borrowing proposed therein, in the case of a LIBOR Auction or (y) the Business Day next preceding the date of borrowing proposed therein, in the case of a Set Rate Auction (or, in any such case, such other time and date as the Company and the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Majority Banks, may agree). Offers to make Money Market Loans may be requested for up to six different Interest Periods in a single notice (for which purpose Interest Periods in different lettered clauses of the definition of the term “Interest Period” shall be deemed to be different Interest Periods even if they are coterminous); provided that the request for each separate Interest Period shall be deemed to be a separate Money Market Quote Request for a separate borrowing (a “Money Market Borrowing”). Each such notice shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto and shall specify as to each Money Market Borrowing:

 

(i)                                     the proposed date of such borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

 

(ii)                                  the aggregate amount of such Money Market Borrowing, which shall be at least $20,000,000 (or a larger multiple of $1,000,000) but shall not cause the limits specified in Section 2.03(a) hereof to be violated;

 

(iii)                               the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto;

 

(iv)                              whether the Money Market Quotes requested for a particular Interest Period are seeking quotes for LIBOR Market Loans or Set Rate Loans; and

 

(v)                                 if the Money Market Quotes requested are seeking quotes for Set Rate Loans, the date on which the Money Market Quotes are to be submitted if it is before the proposed date of borrowing (the date on which such Money Market Quotes are to be submitted is called the “Quotation Date”).

 

20

 

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.03(b), no Money Market Quote Request shall be given within five Business Days (or such lesser number of days as the Administrative Agent may agree) of any other Money Market Quote Request.

 

(c)                                  Quotes by Banks. Each Bank may submit one or more Money Market Quotes, each constituting an offer to make a Money Market Loan in response to any Money Market Quote Request; provided that, if the Company’s request under Section 2.03(b) hereof specified more than one Interest Period, such Bank may make a single submission containing one or more Money Market Quotes for each such Interest Period. Each Money Market Quote must be submitted to the Administrative Agent not later than (x) 2:00 p.m. New York time on the fourth Business Day prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction or (y) 10:00 a.m. New York time on the Quotation Date, in the case of a Set Rate Auction (or, in any such case, such other time and date as the Company and the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Majority Banks, may agree); provided that any Money Market Quote may be submitted by JPMorgan (or its Applicable Lending Office) only if JPMorgan (or such Applicable Lending Office) notifies the Company of the terms of the offer contained therein not later than (x) 1:00 p.m. New York time on the fourth Business Day prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction or (y) 9:45 a.m. New York time on the Quotation Date, in the case of a Set Rate Auction. Subject to Sections 5.02(b), 5.03, 6.02 and 9 hereof, any Money Market Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the consent of the Administrative Agent given on the instructions of the Company. Each Money Market Quote shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto and shall specify:

 

(i)                                     the proposed date of borrowing and the Interest Period therefor;

 

(ii)                                  the principal amount of the Money Market Loan for which each such offer is being made, which principal amount shall be at least $5,000,000 (or a larger multiple of $1,000,000); provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Money Market Loans for which a Bank submits Money Market Quotes (x) may be greater or less than the Commitment of such Bank but (y) may not exceed the principal amount of the Money Market Borrowing for a particular Interest Period for which offers were requested;

 

(iii)                               in the case of a LIBOR Auction, the margin above or below the applicable LIBO Rate (the “LIBO Margin”) offered for each such Money Market Loan, expressed as a percentage (rounded to the nearest 1/10,000th of 1%) to be added to or subtracted from the applicable LIBO Rate;

 

(iv)                              in the case of a Set Rate Auction, the rate of interest per annum (rounded to the nearest 1/10,000th of 1%) offered for each such Money Market Loan (the “Set Rate”); and

 

(v)                                 the identity of the quoting Bank.

 

Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Company, no Money Market Quote shall contain qualifying, conditional or similar language or propose terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Money Market Quote Request and, in particular, no Money Market Quote may be conditioned upon acceptance by the Company of all (or some

 

21

 

specified minimum) of the principal amount of the Money Market Loan for which such Money Market Quote is being made, provided that the submission by any Bank containing more than one Money Market Quote may be conditioned on the Company not accepting offers contained in such submission that would result in such Bank making Money Market Loans pursuant thereto in excess of a specified amount (the “Money Market Loan Limit”).

 

(d)                                 Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall (x) in the case of a Set Rate Auction, as promptly as practicable after the Money Market Quote is submitted (but in any event not later than 10:15 a.m. New York time on the Quotation Date) or (y) in the case of a LIBOR Auction, by 4:00 p.m. New York time on the day a Money Market Quote is submitted, notify the Company of the terms (i) of any Money Market Quote submitted by a Bank that is in accordance with Section 2.03(c) hereof and (ii) of any Money Market Quote that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Money Market Quote submitted by such Bank with respect to the same Money Market Quote Request. Any such subsequent Money Market Quote shall be disregarded by the Administrative Agent unless such subsequent Money Market Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Money Market Quote. The Administrative Agent’s notice to the Company shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Money Market Borrowing for which offers have been received and (B) the respective principal amounts and LIBO Margins or Set Rates, as the case may be, so offered by each Bank (identifying the Bank that made each Money Market Quote).

 

(e)                                  Acceptance by Company. Not later than 11:00 a.m. New York time on (x) the third Business Day prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction or (y) the Quotation Date, in the case of a Set Rate Auction (or, in any such case, such other time and date as the Company and the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Majority Banks, may agree), the Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance or nonacceptance of the offers so notified to it pursuant to Section 2.03(d) hereof (which notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers from each Bank for each Interest Period that are accepted, it being understood that the failure of the Company to give such notice by such time shall constitute nonacceptance) and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Bank. The notice from the Administrative Agent shall also specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that were accepted and the lowest and highest LIBO Margins and Set Rates that were accepted for each Interest Period. The Company may accept any Money Market Quote in whole or in part (provided that any Money Market Quote accepted in part shall be at least $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000); provided that:

 

(i)                                     the aggregate principal amount of each Money Market Borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Money Market Quote Request;

 

(ii)                                  the aggregate principal amount of each Money Market Borrowing shall be at least $20,000,000 (or a larger multiple of $1,000,000) but shall not cause the limits specified in Section 2.03(a) hereof to be violated;

 

(iii)                               acceptance of offers may, subject to clause (v) below, be made only in ascending order of LIBO Margins or Set Rates, as the case may be, in each case beginning with the lowest rate so offered;

 

22

 

(iv)                              the Company may not accept any offer where the Administrative Agent has advised the Company that such offer fails to comply with Section 2.03(c)(ii) hereof or otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.03(a) hereof); and

 

(v)                                 the aggregate principal amount of each Money Market Borrowing from any Bank may not exceed any applicable Money Market Loan Limit of such Bank.

 

If offers are made by two or more Banks with the same LIBO Margins or Set Rates, as the case may be, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which offers are accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Money Market Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Company among such Banks as nearly as possible (in amounts of at least $5,000,000 or larger multiples of $1,000,000) in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of such offers. Determinations by the Company of the amounts of Money Market Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

 

(f)                                    Funding of Money Market Loans. Any Bank whose offer to make any Money Market Loan has been accepted in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 2.03 shall, not later than 1:00 p.m. New York time on the date specified for the making of such Loan, make the amount of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent at an account in New York designated by the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, for account of the Company. The amount so received by the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to the Company on such date by depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in an account of the Company designated by the Company.

 

(g)                                 Utilization of Commitments. Except for the purpose and to the extent expressly stated in Sections 2.04(b) hereof, the amount of any Money Market Loan made by any Bank shall not constitute a utilization of such Bank’s Commitment.

 

(h)                                 Request Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent a fee of $3,000 each time the Company gives a Money Market Quote Request to the Administrative Agent.

 

2.04.                        Changes of Commitments.

 

(a)                                  Reduction on Commitment Termination Date. The aggregate amount of the Commitments shall be automatically reduced to zero on the Commitment Termination Date.

 

(b)                                 Optional Reductions of Commitments. The Company shall have the right at any time or from time to time (i) so long as no Syndicated Loans or Money Market Loans are outstanding, to terminate the Commitments and (ii) to reduce the aggregate unused amount of the Commitments (for which purpose use of the Commitments shall be deemed to include the aggregate principal amount of all Money Market Loans); provided that (x) the Company shall give notice of each such termination or reduction as provided in Section 4.05 hereof and (y) each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount at least equal to $25,000,000 (or a larger multiple of $1,000,000).

 

23

 

(c)                                  No Reinstatement of Commitments. The Commitments once terminated or reduced may not be reinstated.

 

2.05.                        Facility Fee.  The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank a facility fee on the daily average amount of such Bank’s Commitment (whether used or unused), for the period from and including the Effective Date to but not including the earlier of the date such Commitment is terminated and the Commitment Termination Date, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Facility Fee Rate. Accrued facility fees shall be payable on each Quarterly Date and on the earlier of the date the Commitments are terminated and the Commitment Termination Date

 

2.06.                        Lending Offices. The Loans of each Type made by each Bank shall be made and maintained at such Bank’s Applicable Lending Office for Loans of such Type.

 

2.07.                        Several Obligations; Remedies Independent. The failure of any Bank to make any Loan to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation to make its Loan on such date, but neither any Bank nor the Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make a Loan to be made by such other Bank, and (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.06 hereof) no Bank shall have any obligation to the Administrative Agent or any other Bank for the failure by such Bank to make any Loan required to be made by such Bank. The amounts payable by the Company at any time hereunder and under the Notes to each Bank shall be a separate and independent debt and each Bank shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and the Notes, and it shall not be necessary for any other Bank or the Administrative Agent to consent to, or be joined as an additional party in, any proceedings for such purposes.

 

2.08.                        Evidence of Debt.

 

(a)                                  Records by Banks. Each Bank shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Company to such Bank resulting from each Loan made by such Bank, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Bank from time to time hereunder.

 

(b)                                 Records by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and an Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Company to each Bank hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Company hereunder for the account of the Banks and each Bank’s share thereof.

 

(c)                                  Effect of Entries. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.08 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Bank or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Company to repay its Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(d)                                 Notes. Any Bank may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Bank a 

 

24

 

promissory note payable to the order of such Bank in the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto (to evidence Syndicated Loans) or Exhibit A-2 hereto (to evidence Money Market Loans).

 

2.09.                        Prepayments and Conversions or Continuations of Loans.

 

(a)                                  Optional Prepayments and Conversions or Continuations of Loans. Subject to Sections 4.04 and 5.05 hereof, Syndicated Loans may from time to time be prepaid, may be Converted from one Type of Syndicated Loans into another Type and may be Continued as Syndicated Loans of the same Type, provided that, the Company shall give the Administrative Agent notice of each such prepayment, Conversion or Continuation as provided in Section 4.05 hereof (and, upon the date specified in any such notice of prepayment, the amount to be prepaid shall become due and payable hereunder). Money Market Loans may not be prepaid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting the rights and remedies of the Banks under Section 9, if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent (whether at its own election or at the direction of the Majority Banks) so notifies the Company, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) the right of the Company to Convert any Loan into a Eurodollar Loan, or to Continue any Loan as a Eurodollar Loan, shall be suspended and (ii) all Loans shall be Converted (on the last day(s) of the respective Interest Periods therefor) into, or Continued as, as the case may be, Base Rate Loans.

 

(b)                                 Mandatory Prepayments. Promptly, but in any event no later than three Business Days after any Change of Control, the Company shall provide the Banks with written notice thereof (a “Change of Control Notice”). Upon the occurrence of any Change of Control (or at any time within 120 days thereafter), the Majority Banks may, by notice to the Company through the Administrative Agent, effective upon a date specified in such notice, (i) terminate the Commitments hereunder and (ii) demand that the outstanding principal amount of all Loans and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, together with all other amounts payable by the Company under this Agreement, be paid in full, and on such date the Company agrees to so pay such outstanding principal, interest and other amounts. Amounts prepaid hereunder may not be reborrowed.

 

2.10.                        Increase in Commitments. The Company shall have the right at any time to increase the aggregate Commitments hereunder to the extent that the sum of the aggregate Commitments hereunder do not exceed $2,000,000,000 by adding to this Agreement one or more other banks (which may include any Bank, with the consent of such Bank, each such bank an “Additional Bank”) with the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), each of which Additional Banks shall have entered into an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent pursuant to which such Additional Bank shall undertake a Commitment (if any such Additional Bank is a Bank, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Bank’s Commitment hereunder) which such Commitment shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000, and upon the effectiveness of such agreement (the date of the effectiveness of any such agreement being hereinafter referred to as the “Increased Commitment Date”) such Additional Bank shall thereupon become a “Bank” for all purposes of this Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the increase in the aggregate Commitments hereunder pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall not be effective unless:

(i)                                     the Company shall have given the Administrative Agent notice of any such increase at least 3 Business Days prior to any such Increased Commitment Date;

 

(ii)                                  no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date of the notice referred to in the foregoing clause (i) or on the Increased Commitment Date; and

 

(iii)                               if any Syndicated Loan shall be outstanding hereunder, the Company shall have borrowed from each of the Additional Banks, and the Additional Banks shall have made, Syndicated Loans to the Company (in the case of Syndicated Eurodollar Loans, with Interest Period(s) ending on the date(s) of any then outstanding Interest Period(s)), and (notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.02 hereof requiring that borrowings and prepayments be made ratably in accordance with the principal amounts of the Syndicated Loans held by the Banks) the Company shall have prepaid Syndicated Loans held by the other Banks in such amounts as may be necessary, so that after giving effect to such Loans and prepayments, the Syndicated Loans (and Interest Period(s) of Syndicated Eurodollar Loan(s)) shall be held by the Banks pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts of their Commitments (as so increased).

 

Promptly following any increase of Commitments pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall provide notice thereof to each of the Banks.

 

2.11.                        Defaulting Banks. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank:

 

(a)                                  Fees shall cease to accrue on the unused Commitment of such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 2.05 and notwithstanding Section 2.05, the facility fee for any such Bank shall be calculated based on the daily amount of such Bank’s Loans outstanding rather than upon its Commitment.

 

(b)                                 The Commitments and Loans of such Defaulting Bank shall not be included in determining whether all Banks or the Majority Banks have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 11.04); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification (x) increasing or extending the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Bank or (y) requiring the consent of all Banks or each affected Bank which affects such Defaulting Bank differently than other affected Banks shall, in each case, require the consent of such Defaulting Bank;

 

(c)                                  Any amount payable to such Defaulting Bank hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 4.07(b) but excluding Section 5.07) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Bank, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its

 

26

 

portion thereof as required by this Agreement, (iii) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Bank in respect of any Loans under this Agreement, (iv) fourth, to the payment of any amounts then owing to the Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (v) fifth, to the payment of any amounts then owing to the Company as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Company against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and (vi) sixth, to such Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, with respect to this clause (vi), that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Banks pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or reimbursement obligations owed to, any Defaulting Bank.

 

In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Company each agrees that a Defaulting Bank has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Bank to be a Defaulting Bank, then on such date such previously Defaulting Bank shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Banks (other than Money Market Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such previously Defaulting Bank to hold such Loans in accordance with the percentage of Commitments represented by such previously Defaulting Bank’s Commitment.

 

Section 3.                                            Payments of Principal and Interest.

(b)                                 Money Market Loans. The Company hereby promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Bank that makes any Money Market Loan the principal amount of such Money Market Loan, and such Money Market Loan shall mature, on the last day of the Interest Period for such Money Market Loan.

 

3.02.                        Interest. The Company hereby promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Bank interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Bank to the Company for the period from and including the date of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

 

(a)                                  if such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time) plus the Applicable Margin;

 

(b)                                 if such Loan is a Eurodollar Loan, the Eurodollar Rate for each Loan for the Interest Period therefor plus the Applicable Margin;

 

27

 

(c)                                  if such Loan is a LIBOR Market Loan, the LIBO Rate for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor plus (or minus) the LIBO Margin quoted by the Bank making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof; and

 

(d)                                 if such Loan is a Set Rate Loan, the Set Rate for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor quoted by the Bank making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company hereby promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Bank interest at the applicable Post-Default Rate on any principal of any Loan made by such Bank to the Company and on any other amount payable by the Company hereunder or under the Notes of the Company held by such Bank to or for account of such Bank, that shall not be paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise), for the period from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date the same is paid in full.

 

Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable (i) in the case of a Base Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Date, (ii) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan or a Money Market Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period therefor and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months (in the case of a Eurodollar Loan or a LIBOR Market Loan), at three-month intervals following the first day of such Interest Period and (iii) in the case of any Loan, upon the payment or prepayment thereof or the Conversion of such Loan to a Loan of another Type (but only on the principal amount so paid, prepaid or Converted), except that interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Banks to which such interest is payable and to the Company.

4.01.                        Payments.

 

(a)                                  Payments Generally.

(b)                                 Debiting by Banks.

(c)                                  Specification by Company of Amounts Paid. The Company shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any Note for account of any Bank, specify to the Administrative Agent (which shall so notify the intended recipient(s) thereof) the 

 

28

 

Loans or other amounts payable by the Company hereunder to which such payment is to be applied (and in the event that the Company fails to so specify, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may distribute such payment to the Banks for application in such manner as it or the Majority Banks, subject to Section 4.02 hereof, may determine to be appropriate).

 

(d)                                 Remittance by Administrative Agent. Each payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any Note for account of any Bank shall be paid by the Administrative Agent promptly to such Bank, in immediately available funds, for account of such Bank’s Applicable Lending Office for the Loan or other obligation in respect of which such payment is made.

 

(e)                                  Extension of Due Date.

4.02.                        Pro Rata Treatment.

4.03.                        Computations.

 

Interest on Money Market Loans and Eurodollar Loans, and facility fees, shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which payable and interest on Base Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which payable.

this Section 4.05, such Loan will be made as, Continue or Converted into a Eurodollar Loan with an Interest Period of one month.

 

4.06.                        Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent.

 

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Bank or the Company (the “Payor”) prior to the date on which the Payor is to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (in the case of a Bank) the proceeds of a Loan to be made by such Bank hereunder or (in the case of the Company) a payment to the Administrative Agent for account of one or more of the Banks hereunder (such payment being herein called the “Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient(s) on such date; and, if the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient(s) of such payment shall, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date (the “Advance Date”) such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for such day and, if such recipient(s) shall fail promptly to make such payment, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount, on demand, from the Payor, together with interest as aforesaid, provided that if neither the recipient(s) nor the Payor shall return the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent within three Business Days of the Advance Date, then, retroactively to the Advance Date, the Payor and the recipient(s) shall each be obligated to pay interest on the Required Payment as follows:

 

(i)                                     if the Required Payment shall represent a payment to be made by the Company to the Banks, the Company and the recipient(s) shall each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in respect of the Required Payment at the Post-Default Rate (without duplication of the obligation of the Company under Section 3.02 hereof to pay interest on the Required Payment at the Post-Default Rate), it being understood that the return by the recipient(s) of the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent shall not limit such obligation of the Company under said Section 3.02 to pay interest at the Post-Default Rate in respect of the Required Payment, and

 

(ii)                                  if the Required Payment shall represent proceeds of a Loan to be made by the Banks to the Company, the Payor and the Company shall each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in respect of the Required Payment pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof, it being understood that the return by the Company of the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent shall not limit any claim the Company may have against the Payor in respect of such Required Payment.

 

4.07.                        Sharing of Payments, Etc.

 

(a)                                  Right of Offset. The Company agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim a Bank may otherwise have, each Bank shall be entitled, at its option (to the fullest extent permitted by law), to set off and apply 

 

31

 

any deposit (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), or other indebtedness, held by it for the credit or account of the Company at any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, against any principal of or interest on any of such Bank’s Loans or any other amount payable to such Bank hereunder, that is not paid when due (regardless of whether such deposit or other indebtedness is then due to the Company), in which case it shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent thereof, provided that such Bank’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof.

 

(b)                                 Sharing of Payments. If any Bank shall obtain from the Company payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan of any Class owing to it or payment of any other amount under this Agreement through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from the Administrative Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Bank shall have received a greater percentage of the principal of or interest on the Loans of such Class or such other amounts then due hereunder by the Company to such Bank than the percentage received by any other Bank, it shall promptly purchase from such other Banks participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Bank, direct interests in) the Loans of such Class or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Banks (or in interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Banks shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Bank in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal of and/or interest on the Loans of such Class or such other amounts, respectively, owing to each of the Banks. To such end all the Banks shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.

 

(c)                                  Participants’ Rights against Company. The Company agrees that any Bank so purchasing such a participation (or direct interest) may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to such Bank in the amount of such participation.

 

(d)                                 No Requirement to Exercise Offset Rights. Nothing contained herein shall require any Bank to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Bank to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Company. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Bank receives a secured claim in lieu of a set-off to which this Section 4.07 applies, such Bank shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Banks entitled under this Section 4.07 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

 

Section 5.                                            Yield Protection, Etc.

 

5.01.                        Additional Costs.

 

(a)                                  Regulatory Change.  The Company shall pay (but without duplication) directly to each Bank from time to time such amounts as such Bank may determine to be 

 

32

 

necessary to compensate such Bank for any costs that such Bank determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any Fixed Rate Loans to the Company or its obligation to make any Fixed Rate Loans to the Company hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Bank hereunder in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that:

 

(i)                                     shall subject any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office for any of such Loans) to any tax, duty or other charge in respect of such Loans or its Notes or changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Bank under this Agreement or its Notes in respect of any of such Loans (excluding, in each case, Excluded Taxes); or

 

(ii)                                  imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (other than the Reserve Requirement utilized in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate or LIBO Rate, as the case may be, for such Loan) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Bank (including, without limitation, any of such Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of “Fixed Base Rate” in Section 1.01 hereof), or any commitment of such Bank (including, without limitation, the Commitment of such Bank hereunder); or

 

(iii)                               imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or its Notes (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities) or its Commitment.

 

If any Bank requests compensation from the Company under this Section 5.01(a), the Company may, by notice to such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Bank thereafter to make or Continue Eurodollar Loans, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans, until the Regulatory Change giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5.04 hereof shall be applicable), provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Bank to receive the compensation so requested.

 

(b)                                 Capital Requirements. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.01 (but without duplication), the Company shall pay directly to each Bank from time to time on request such amounts as such Bank may determine to be necessary to compensate such Bank (or, without duplication, the bank holding company of which such Bank is a subsidiary) for any costs that it determines are attributable to the maintenance by such Bank (or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company), pursuant to any law or regulation or any interpretation, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) of any court or governmental or monetary authority (i) following any Regulatory Change or (ii) implementing any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not the failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) hereafter issued by any government or governmental or supervisory authority implementing at the national level the Basle Accord, of capital in respect of its Commitment or Loans (such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to any reduction of the rate of return on assets or equity of such Bank (or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company) to a level below that which such 

 

33

 

Bank (or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company) could have achieved but for such law, regulation, interpretation, directive or request).

 

(c)                                  Notification by Banks. Each Bank shall notify the Company of any event occurring after the date hereof entitling such Bank to compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5.01 as promptly as practicable, but in any event within 45 days, after such Bank obtains actual knowledge thereof; provided that (i) if any Bank fails to give such notice within 45 days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Bank shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section 5.01 in respect of any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment under this Section 5.01 for costs incurred from and after the date 45 days prior to the date that such Bank does give such notice and (ii) each Bank will designate a different Applicable Lending Office (and/or take other reasonable steps to mitigate any increased costs under this Section 5.01) for the Loans of such Bank affected by such event if such designation or mitigation steps, as applicable, will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole opinion of such Bank, be disadvantageous to such Bank, except that such Bank shall have no obligation to designate an Applicable Lending Office located in the United States of America. Each Bank will furnish to the Company a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Bank for compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5.01. Determinations and allocations by any Bank for purposes of this Section 5.01 of the effect of any Regulatory Change pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5.01, or of the effect of capital maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 5.01, on its costs or rate of return of maintaining Loans or its obligation to make Loans, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the amounts required to compensate such Bank under this Section 5.01, shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations and allocations are made on a reasonable basis.

 

5.02.                        Limitation on Types of Loans. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of any Fixed Base Rate for any Interest Period pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of “Fixed Base Rate” in Section 1.01 hereof:

 

(a)                                  the Administrative Agent determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in clause (b) of the definition of “Fixed Base Rate” in Section 1.01 hereof are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for either Type of Fixed Rate Loans as provided herein; or

 

(b)                                 the Majority Banks determine (or any Bank that has outstanding a Money Market Quote with respect to a LIBOR Market Loan determines), which determination shall be conclusive, and notify (or notifies, as the case may be) the Administrative Agent that the relevant rates of interest referred to in clause (b) of the definition of “Fixed Base Rate” in Section 1.01 hereof upon the basis of which the rate of interest for Eurodollar Loans (or LIBOR Market Loans, as the case may be) for such Interest Period is to be determined are not likely adequately to cover the cost to such Banks (or to such quoting Bank, as the case may be) of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans (or such LIBOR Market Loan, as the case may be) for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give the Company and each Bank prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the obligation of the Banks to make additional Eurodollar Loan, to Convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans, or to Continue Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended, in which case the provisions of Section 5.04 shall be applicable (or, in the case of a LIBOR Market Loan, such quoting Bank shall be under no obligation to make such LIBOR Market Loan).

 

5.03.                        Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Bank or its Applicable Lending Office to honor its obligation to make, or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, Eurodollar Loans or LIBOR Market Loans hereunder (and, in the sole opinion of such Bank, the designation of a different Applicable Lending Office would either not avoid such unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such Bank), then such Bank shall promptly notify the Company thereof (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and such Bank’s obligation to make Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Bank may again make and maintain Eurodollar Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.04 hereof shall be applicable), and such Bank shall no longer be obligated to make any LIBOR Market Loan that it has offered to make.

 

5.04.                        Treatment of Affected Loans.  If the obligation of any Bank to make or Continue Eurodollar Loans, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans, shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.01, 5.02 or 5.03, unless and until such Bank gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.01, 5.02 or 5.03 that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

 

(a)                                  any Loan that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Bank as a Eurodollar Loan shall be made instead as, or Converted on the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a Conversion resulting from a circumstance described in Section 5.03, on such earlier date as such Bank may specify to the Company with a copy to the Administrative Agent) into, a Base Rate Loan, and any Loan of such Bank that would otherwise be Converted into a Eurodollar Loan shall remain as a Base Rate Loan; and

 

(b)                                 to the extent that such Bank’s Base Rate Loans have been made or Continued as, or Converted from Eurodollar Loans to, Base Rate Loans as a result of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.04, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Bank’s Eurodollar Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans.

 

If such Bank gives notice to the Company with a copy to the Administrative Agent that the circumstances specified in Section 5.01, 5.02 or 5.03 that gave rise to the Conversion of such Bank’s Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 5.04 no longer exist (which such Bank agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Loans made by other Banks are outstanding, such Bank’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans are allocated among the Banks ratably (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) as nearly as possible in accordance with their respective Commitments.

5.05.                        Compensation. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Bank, upon the request of such Bank through the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Bank) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense that such Bank reasonably determines is attributable to:

 

(a)                                  any payment, mandatory or optional prepayment or Conversion of a Fixed Rate Loan or a Set Rate Loan made by such Bank to the Company for any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 9 hereof) on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan; or

 

(b)                                 any failure by the Company for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the conditions precedent specified in Section 6 hereof to be satisfied) to borrow a Fixed Rate Loan or a Set Rate Loan (with respect to which, in the case of a Money Market Loan, the Company has accepted a Money Market Quote) from such Bank on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant notice of borrowing given pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03(b)) hereof.

 

Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, such compensation shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so paid, prepaid, Converted or not borrowed for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, Conversion or failure to borrow to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Loan that would have commenced on the date specified for such borrowing) at the applicable rate of interest for such Loan provided for herein over (ii) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on such principal amount at a rate per annum equal to the interest component of the amount such Bank would have bid in the London interbank market (if such Loan is a Eurodollar Loan or a LIBOR Market Loan) or the United States secondary certificate of deposit market (if such Loan is a Set Rate Loan) for Dollar deposits of leading banks in amounts comparable to such principal amount and with maturities comparable to such period (as reasonably determined by such Bank), or if such Bank shall cease to make such bids, the equivalent rate, as reasonably determined by such Bank, derived from the Reuters Screen LIBO Page or other publicly available source as described in the definition of “Fixed Base Rate” in Section 1.01 hereof).

 

5.06.                        Taxes.

 

(a)                                  All payments made by or on behalf of the Company under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Non-Excluded Taxes; provided that if any Non-Excluded Taxes are required by applicable law to be withheld from any amounts payable hereunder, (i) such amounts shall be paid to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (ii) the amounts so payable by the Company to such Bank shall be increased to the extent necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions for all Non-Excluded Taxes) such Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received under this Agreement if such withholding or deduction for such Non-Excluded Taxes had not been required; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Bank with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes that are attributable to

 

36

 

such Bank’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (e) or (f) of this Section or that are United States withholding taxes resulting from any Requirement of Law in effect (including FATCA) on the date such Bank becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Bank’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Company with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph.

 

(b)           The Company shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

(c)           The Company shall pay (or reimburse) the Administrative Agent and each Bank for any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed directly on the Administrative Agent or such Bank, in each case, within 30 days after written demand therefor (together with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts).  If (i) any withholding taxes which are Non-Excluded Taxes are not paid when due (either by the Company or the Administrative Agent, acting in good faith); or (ii) any Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed directly on the Administrative Agent or any Bank and the Company fails to pay (or reimburse) such Person within 30 days after demand therefor, the Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Bank for such amounts, any interest or penalties (limited with respect to (ii) to incremental interest or penalties) that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or such Bank by reason of such failure.

 

(d)           Each Bank shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for the full amount of any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings or similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority that are attributable to such Bank and that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, together with all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(e)           Each Bank that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) or such other document or information prescribed by applicable laws or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Each Non-U.S. Bank shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Bank from which the related participation shall have been purchased) (i) two copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY (together with any applicable underlying IRS forms), (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Bank claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit G and the applicable IRS Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Bank claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or (iii) any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding

 

37

 

tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable requirements of law to permit the Company and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.  Such forms shall be delivered by each Bank on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Company or the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Bank shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Bank.  Each Bank shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Company (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a Bank shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section that such Bank is not legally able to deliver.

 

(f)            A Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Bank is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the 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; provided, that such Bank is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Bank’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Bank.

 

(g)           If a payment made to a Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank 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 Bank shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company (or the Administrative Agent), such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company (or the Administrative Agent) as may be necessary for the Company (or the Administrative Agent) to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Bank has or has not complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

 

(h)           If the Administrative Agent or any Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Company or with respect to which the Company has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.06, it shall pay over such refund to the Company (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Company under this Section 5.06 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Bank and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Company, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Bank, agrees

 

38

 

to repay the amount paid over to the Company (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Bank in the event the Administrative Agent or such Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Company or any other Person.

 

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

 

5.07.        Replacement of Banks. If (i) any Bank requests compensation pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.06, (ii) any Bank’s obligation to make or Continue Loans of any Type, or to Convert Syndicated Loans of any Type into the other Type of Syndicated Loan, shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.03 hereof or (iii) any Bank is a Defaulting Bank hereunder (any such Bank requesting such compensation, whose obligations are so suspended or who is a Defaulting Bank, being herein called a “Departing Bank”), the Company, upon three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent given when no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, may require that such Departing Bank transfer all of its right, title and interest under this Agreement and such Departing Bank’s Notes to any bank or other financial institution identified by the Company that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (a) if such bank or other financial institution (a “Proposed Bank”) agrees to assume all of the obligations of such Departing Bank hereunder, and to purchase all of such Departing Bank’s Loans hereunder for consideration equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Departing Bank’s Loans, together with interest thereon to the date of such purchase, and satisfactory arrangements are made for payment to such Departing Bank of all other amounts payable hereunder to such Departing Bank on or prior to the date of such transfer (including any fees accrued hereunder and any amounts that would be payable under Section 5.05 hereof as if all of such Departing Bank’s Loans were being prepaid in full on such date) and (b) if such Departing Bank has requested compensation pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.06 hereof, such Proposed Bank’s aggregate requested compensation, if any, pursuant to said Section 5.01 or 5.06 with respect to such Departing Bank’s Loans is lower than that of the Departing Bank.  Subject to the provisions of Section 11.05(b) hereof, such Proposed Bank shall be a “Bank” for all purposes hereunder. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Company hereunder the agreements of the Company contained in said Sections 5.01, 5.06 and 11.03 (without duplication of any payments made to such Departing Bank by the Company or the Proposed Bank) shall survive for the benefit of such Departing Bank under this Section 5.07 with respect to the time prior to such replacement.

41

 

Section 7.               Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Banks that:

 

7.01.        Corporate Existence. Each of the Company and its Material Domestic Subsidiaries: (a) is a corporation, partnership or other entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization; (b) has all requisite corporate or other power, and has all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted with, in the case of the Company’s Material Domestic Subsidiaries only, such exceptions as are not reasonably likely (either individually or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (c) is qualified to do business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary and where failure so to qualify could reasonably be likely to (either individually or in the aggregate) have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

7.02.        Financial Condition.  The Company has heretofore furnished to each of the Banks:

 

(i)            the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2009 and the related statements of consolidated earnings, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended on said date, with the opinion thereon of KPMG Peat Marwick; and

 

(ii)           the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at October 2, 2010 and the related statements of consolidated earnings, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the nine-month period ended on such date.

 

All such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at said dates and the results of their operations for the fiscal year and nine-month period ended on said dates (subject, in the case of such financial statements as at October 2, 2010 to normal year-end audit adjustments), all in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Except as disclosed in the Company’s Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 or in the Company’s Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC for the third fiscal quarter of the Company’s 2010 fiscal year, each of which has been delivered to the Banks prior to the Effective Date, since December 31, 2009, there has been no material adverse change in the consolidated business, operations or financial condition taken as a whole of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries from that set forth in said financial statements as at said date.

 

7.03.        Litigation. Except as disclosed in the Company’s Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 or in the Company’s Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC for the third fiscal quarter of the Company’s 2010 fiscal year, each of which has been delivered to the Banks prior to the Effective Date, there are no legal or arbitral proceedings, or any proceedings by or before any governmental or regulatory authority or agency, now pending or (to the knowledge of the Company) threatened against the Company

 

42

 

or any of its Subsidiaries that, if adversely determined (either individually or in the aggregate) would reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

7.04.        No Breach. None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated or compliance with the terms and provisions hereof will conflict with or result in a breach of, or require any consent under, the charter or by-laws of the Company, or any applicable law or regulation, or any agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Material Domestic Subsidiaries is a party, or by which any of them or any of their Property is bound or to which any of them is subject, or constitute a default under any such agreement or instrument.

 

7.05.        Action. The Company has all necessary corporate power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Notes; the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on its part; and this Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes, and each of the Notes when executed and delivered for value will constitute, its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general applicability affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights.

 

7.06.        Approvals. No authorizations, approvals or consents of, and no filings or registrations with, any governmental or regulatory authority or agency, or any securities exchange, are necessary for the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of this Agreement or the Notes or for the legality, validity or enforceability hereof or thereof.

7.08.        ERISA. Except as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate to have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) each of the Company and its ERISA Affiliates is in compliance with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan and the terms of each Plan, and (b) no ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur.

 

7.09.        Taxes. The Company and its Domestic Subsidiaries have filed all Federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns that are required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Company or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries, except for any such tax being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being maintained. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company and its Domestic Subsidiaries in respect of taxes and other governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Company, adequate.

 

43

7.11.        Environmental Matters. Each of the Company and its Material Domestic Subsidiaries has obtained all environmental, health and safety permits, licenses and other authorizations required under all Environmental Laws to carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted, except to the extent failure to have any such permit, license or authorization would not (either individually or in the aggregate) have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

Section 8.               Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees with the Banks and the Administrative Agent that, so long as any Commitment or Loan is outstanding and until payment in full of all amounts payable by the Company hereunder:

48

 

(f)            any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements), as a whole or in part, of any Lien referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) to (e), inclusive; provided that such extension, renewal or replacement Lien shall be limited to all or a part of the same Property secured by the Lien extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on such Property).

49

(a)           the Company or such Domestic Subsidiary could create Debt secured by a Lien pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof on the Principal Property to be leased in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction without equally and ratably securing the payment of the principal of, and interest on the Loans and the Notes, and all other amounts payable by the Company to the Banks hereunder, or

 

(b)           the Company within 120 days after the sale or transfer shall have been made by the Company or by a Domestic Subsidiary, applies an amount not less than the greater of (i) the net proceeds of the sale of the Principal Property leased pursuant to such arrangement or (ii) the fair market value of the Principal Property so leased at the time of entering into such arrangement (as determined by any two of the following: the Chairman of the Board of the Company, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its President, any elected Vice President of the Company and its Treasurer) to the retirement of Funded Debt of the Company; provided that the amount to be applied to the retirement of Funded Debt of the Company shall be reduced by the principal amount of Funded Debt voluntarily retired by the Company within 120 days after such sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no retirement referred to in this clause (b) may be effected by payment at maturity or pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund payment or any mandatory prepayment provision.

Section 10.             The Administrative Agent.

 

10.01.      Appointment, Powers and Immunities.  Each Bank hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as its agent hereunder with such powers as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent (which term as used in this sentence and in Section 10.05 hereof and the first sentence of Section 10.06 hereof shall include reference to its affiliates and its own and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents):

 

(a)           shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and shall not by reason of this Agreement be a trustee for any Bank;

 

(b)           shall not be responsible to the Banks for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any Note or any other document referred to or provided for herein or for any failure by the Company to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder;

 

(c)           shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder; and

 

(d)           shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or in connection herewith, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

53

 

The Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith.

 

10.02.      Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including, without limitation, any thereof by telephone, telecopy, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Majority Banks, and such instructions of the Majority Banks and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Banks.

 

10.03.      Defaults. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Bank or the Company specifying such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Banks. The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Sections 10.01 and 10.07 hereof) take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the Majority Banks, provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Banks except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not be taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of the Majority Banks or all of the Banks.

 

10.04.      Rights as a Bank. With respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, JPMorgan (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) in its capacity as a Bank hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as the Administrative Agent, and the term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

10.07.      Failure to Act.

11.05.      Assignments and Participations.

 

(a)           Assignments Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Bank (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Company without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Bank may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 11.05. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Administrative Agent and the Banks) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

(b)           Assignments by Banks.

 

(i)            Assignments Generally. Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (ii) below, any Bank may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

 

(A)          the Company, provided that no consent of the Company shall be required for an assignment to a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or, if an Event of Default under clause (a), (f) or (g) of Section 9 hereof has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and

 

(B)           the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Commitment to an assignee that is a Bank or an Affiliate of Bank with a Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment.

 

(ii)           Certain Conditions to Assignments. Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

 

(A)          except in the case of an assignment to a Bank or an Affiliate of a Bank or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank’s Commitment or Loans of any Class or Type, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Bank subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default under clause (a), (f) or (g) of Section 9 hereof has occurred and is continuing;

 

59

 

(B)           each partial assignment of any Class or Type of Commitments or Loans shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Class or Type of Commitments and Loans;

 

(C)           the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and

 

(D)          the assignee, if it shall not already be a Bank, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

 

(iii)          Effectiveness of Assignments. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 11.05(c) hereof, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 5 hereof and Section 11.03 hereof). Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.05 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.05(e).

 

(c)           Maintenance of Register by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(d)           Acceptance of Assignments by Administrative  Agent.

No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

 

60

 

(e)           Participations. Any Bank may, without the consent of the Company or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Company, the Administrative Agent and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso to Section 11.04(a) that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 11.05(f) hereof, the Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to the limitations of, Section 5 hereof to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.05(b) hereof; provided, however, that no Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.06 unless such Participant complies with Sections 5.06(e), (f) and (g) as if it were a Bank, and such benefits, in any event shall not be greater than the benefits that the participating Bank was entitled to under Section 5. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.07(a) hereof as though it were a Bank, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.07(b) as though it were a Bank hereunder.  Each Bank that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall 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 this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive and such Bank, the Company and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

 

(f)            Limitations on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5 hereof than the applicable Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent.

 

(g)           Certain Pledges. Any Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Bank, including any such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 11.05 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Bank as a party hereto.

 

(h)           No Assignments to the Company, Affiliates or Individuals. Anything in this Section 11.05 to the contrary notwithstanding, no Bank may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to (i) the Company or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries

 

61

 

without the prior consent of each Bank or (ii) a natural person or any holding company, trust or investment vehicle for the primary benefit of a natural person (including relatives of such person) without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, other than any such entity that (w) has not been formed for the primary purpose of acquiring Loans or Commitments under this Agreement, (x) is managed by a professional adviser (other than such natural person or any such relatives) having significant experience in the business of making or purchasing commercial loans, (y) has assets of greater than $100,000,000 and (z) has significant business activities that consist of making or purchasing (by assignment as principal) commercial loans and similar extensions of credit.

 

11.06.      Survival. The obligations of the Company under Sections 5.01, 5.05, 5.06 and 11.03 hereof, and the obligations of the Banks under Section 10.05 hereof, shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the Commitments. In addition, each representation and warranty made, or deemed to be made by a notice of any Loan, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and no Bank shall be deemed to have waived, by reason of making any Loan, any Default that may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading, notwithstanding that such Bank or the Administrative Agent may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time such Loan was made.

 

11.07.      Captions. The table of contents and captions and section headings appearing herein are included solely for convenience of reference and are not intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

 

11.08.      Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart.

 

11.09.      Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York. The Company hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York state court sitting in New York City for the purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 

11.10.      Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE BANKS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

62

The Company acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Bank or by one or more subsidiaries or affiliates of such Bank and the Company hereby authorizes each Bank to share any information delivered to such Bank by the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Bank to enter into this Agreement, to any such subsidiary or affiliate, it being understood that any such subsidiary or affiliate receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of paragraph (b) below as if it were a Bank hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the Commitments.

 

(b)           Confidentiality. Each of the Banks and the Administrative Agent agrees (on behalf of itself and each of its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and representatives) to restrict dissemination of any Confidential Information (as defined below) only to those of its directors, officers, employees and representatives who are involved in the evaluation of such information, and to use reasonable precautions to keep such information confidential, in accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information of the same nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean any non-public information supplied to it by the Company pursuant to this Agreement that is identified (in writing in the case of written information) by the Company as being confidential at the time the same is delivered to the Banks or the Administrative Agent, provided that nothing herein shall limit the disclosure of any such information by any Bank or the Administrative Agent

 

(i)            after such information shall have become public (other than through a violation of this Section 11.11 by such Bank or the Administrative Agent) or after the Company shall have given its consent in writing to such disclosure,

 

(ii)           to the extent required by statute, rule, regulation or judicial process,

 

(iii)          to counsel or other experts for any of the Banks or the Administrative Agent provided that such counsel or experts shall be bound by the requirements of this Section 11.11(b) with respect to any such information,

 

(iv)          to bank examiners (or any other regulatory authority having jurisdiction over any Bank or the Administrative Agent or any of their respective affiliates or self-regulatory body having or claiming jurisdiction or oversight over any of the foregoing), or to auditors or accountants,

 

(v)           to the Administrative Agent (or to J.P. Morgan Securities LLC) or any other Bank (or to any of their respective affiliates), provided that any such disclosure to any such affiliate shall be made on a “need to know” basis only for use by such affiliate (and each of its officers, directors and employees) solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each such affiliate (and each of its officers, directors and employees) shall agree (for the benefit of the Company) to be bound to keep such information confidential on the same terms as set forth in this Section 11.11),

 

63

 

(vi)          in connection with any litigation to which any one or more of the Banks or the Administrative Agent is a party, or in connection with the enforcement of rights or remedies hereunder or under the Notes, provided that the party intending to make such disclosure shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to reasonably minimize the extent of any such disclosure or to obtain confidential treatment of information to be disclosed,

 

(vii)         to a subsidiary or affiliate of such Bank as provided in paragraph (a) above,

 

(viii)        to any direct, indirect, actual or prospective counterparty (and its advisors) to any swap, derivative or securitization transaction related to the obligations under this Agreement, provided that each such counterparty (and each of its advisors, officers, directors and employees) shall agree (for the benefit of the Company) to be bound to keep such information confidential on the same terms as set forth in this Section 11.11) or

 

(ix)           to any assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) so long as such assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) first executes and delivers to the respective Bank a Confidentiality Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto (or executes and delivers to such Bank and the Company an acknowledgement to the effect that it is bound by the provisions of this Section 11.11(b));

 

provided, further, that in no event shall any Bank or the Administrative Agent be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by the Company hereunder except to the extent it has agreed to do so in writing in conjunction with the receipt of such information. The obligations of any assignee that has executed a Confidentiality Agreement in the form of Exhibit E hereto shall be superseded by this Section 11.11 with respect to the matters covered hereby on the date upon which such assignee becomes a Bank hereunder pursuant to Section 11.05 hereof.

 

11.12.      USA Patriot Act. Each Bank hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company, which information includes the names and addresses of the Company and other information that will allow such Bank to identify the Company in accordance with said Act.

EXHIBIT B-1

 

[Form of Opinion of Counsel to the Company]

 

January [  ], 2011

 

To the Banks party to the
 Credit Agreement referred to
 below and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

I have acted as counsel to Motorola, Inc. (to be renamed Motorola Solutions, Inc.) (the “Company”) in connection with (i) the Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) dated as of January [  ], 2011 between the Company, the lenders named therein and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, providing for loans to be made by said lenders to the Company in an aggregate principal amount initially not to exceed $1,500,000,000 and (ii) the various other agreements and instruments referred to in the next following paragraph. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as defined therein. This opinion is being delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(e)(i) of the Credit Agreement.

 

In rendering the opinions expressed below, I have examined the following agreements, instruments and other documents:

 

	
(a)
  	
the Credit Agreement;
  
	
 
  	
 
  
	
(b)
  	
the Notes, if any, executed and delivered by the Company on the date hereof; and
  
	
 
  	
 
  
	
(c)
  	
such corporate records of the Company and such other documents as I have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below.
  

 

The agreements, instruments and other documents referred to in the foregoing lettered clauses (other than clause (c) above) are collectively referred to as the “Credit Documents”.

 

In my examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals and the conformity with authentic original documents of all documents submitted to me as copies. When relevant facts were not independently established, I have relied upon statements of governmental officials and upon representations made in or pursuant to the Credit Documents and certificates of appropriate representatives of the Company.

 

In rendering the opinions expressed below, I have assumed, with respect to all of the documents referred to in this opinion letter, that (except, to the extent set forth in the opinions expressed below, as to the Company):

 

 

	
(i)
  	
such documents have been duly authorized by, have been duly executed and delivered by, and constitute legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of, all of the parties to such documents;
  
	
 
  	
 
  
	
(ii)
  	
all signatories to such documents have been duly authorized; and
  
	
 
  	
 
  
	
(iii)
  	
all of the parties to such documents are duly organized and validly existing and have the power and authority (corporate or other) to execute, deliver and perform such documents.
  

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject also to the comments and qualifications set forth below, and having considered such questions of law as I have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below, I am of the opinion that:

 

1.     The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each Material Domestic Subsidiary of the Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the respective state indicated opposite its name in Schedule 1.

 

2.     The Company has all requisite corporate power to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Credit Documents. The Company has all requisite corporate power to borrow under the Credit Agreement.

 

3.     The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of each Credit Document, and the borrowings by the Company under the Credit Agreement, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company.

 

4.     Each Credit Document has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

 

5.

[Form of Opinion of Special Counsel to the Company]

 

January [  ], 2011

 

To the Banks party to the
 Credit Agreement referred to
 below and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.,
  as Administrative Agent

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to Motorola, Inc. (to be renamed Motorola Solutions, Inc.) (the “Company”) in connection with (i) the Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) dated as of January [  ], 2011 between the Company, the lenders named therein and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent, providing for loans to be made by said lenders to the Company in an aggregate principal amount initially not to exceed $1,500,000,000 and (ii) the various other agreements and instruments referred to in the next following paragraph. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as defined therein. This opinion letter is being delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(e)(ii) of the Credit Agreement.

 

In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have examined the following agreements, instruments and other documents:

 

	
(a)
  	
the Credit Agreement;
  
	
 
  	
 
  
	
(b)
  	
the Notes, if any, executed and delivered by the Company on the date hereof; and
  
	
 
  	
 
  
	
(c)
  	
such corporate records of the Company and such other documents as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below.
  

 

The agreements, instruments and other documents referred to in the foregoing lettered clauses (other than clause (c) above) are collectively referred to as the “Credit Documents”.

 

In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. When relevant facts were not independently established, we have relied upon statements of governmental officials and upon representations made in or pursuant to the Credit Documents and certificates of appropriate representatives of the Company.

 

 

In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed, with respect to all of the documents referred to in this opinion letter, that (except with respect to clause (i) below, to the extent set forth in the opinions expressed below, as to the Company):

 

	
(i)
  	
such documents have been duly authorized by, have been duly executed and delivered by, and constitute legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of, all of the parties to such documents;
  
	
 
  	
 
  
	
(ii)
  	
all signatories to such documents have been duly authorized; and
  
	
 
  	
 
  
	
(iii)
  	
all of the parties to such documents are duly organized and validly existing and have the power and authority (corporate or other) to execute, deliver and perform such documents.
  

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject also to the comments and qualifications set forth below, and having considered such questions of law as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below, we are of the opinion that each Credit Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

 

The foregoing opinions are subject to the following comments and qualifications:

 

(A) The enforceability of the Credit Documents and the obligations of the Company thereunder and the availability of certain rights and remedial provisions provided for in the Credit Documents are subject to (i) the effect of bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, conservatorship, and moratorium laws and are subject to limitations imposed by other laws and judicial decisions relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in proceedings at law or in equity) upon the availability of injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, including, without limitation, where (x) the breach of such covenants or provisions imposes restrictions or burdens upon a debtor and it cannot be demonstrated that the enforcement of such remedies, restrictions or burdens is reasonably necessary for the protection of a creditor; (y) a creditor’s enforcement of such remedies, covenants or provisions under the circumstances, or the manner of such enforcement, would violate such creditor’s implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, or would be commercially unreasonable; or (z) a court having jurisdiction finds that such remedies, covenants or provisions were, at the time made, or are in application, unconscionable as a matter of law or contrary to public policy, and (iii) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.

 

(B) The enforceability of Section 11.03 of the Credit Agreement may be limited by (i) laws rendering unenforceable indemnification contrary to Federal or state securities laws and the public policy underlying such laws and (ii) laws limiting the enforceability of provisions exculpating or exempting a party, or requiring indemnification of a party for, liability for its own action or inaction, to the extent the action or inaction involves gross negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct or unlawful conduct.

 

2

 

(C)          The enforceability of provisions in the Credit Documents to the effect that terms may not be waived or modified except in writing may be limited under certain circumstances.

 

(D)          We express no opinion as to: (i) the effect of the laws of any jurisdiction in which any Bank is located (other than the State of New York) that limit the interest, fees or other charges such Bank may impose; (ii) Section 4.07(c) of the Credit Agreement; (iii) the second sentence of Section 11.09 of the Credit Agreement, insofar as such sentence relates to the subject matter jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to adjudicate any controversy related to the Credit Documents; (iv) the waiver of inconvenient forum set forth in Section 11.09 of the Credit Agreement with respect to proceedings in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York; (v) the enforceability of any provisions contained in the Credit Documents that purport to establish (or may be construed to establish) evidentiary standards; (vi) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any provision of any of the Credit Documents insofar as they provide for the payment or reimbursement of costs and expenses or indemnification for claims, losses, or liabilities in excess of a reasonable amount determined by any court or other tribunal; (vii) the effect of the compliance or noncompliance of the Administrative Agent or any Bank with any state or federal laws or regulations (including, without limitation, any unpublished order, decree, or directive issued by any governmental authority) applicable to such Administrative Agent or Bank because of its legal or regulatory status, the nature of its business, or its authority to conduct business in any jurisdiction; and (viii) the enforceability of any provisions of the Credit Documents that provide that the assertion or employment of any right or remedy shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy, or that each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other remedy or that any delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall not impair any other right or remedy or constitute a waiver thereof.

 

The foregoing opinions are limited to matters involving the Federal laws of the United States of America and the law of the State of New York, and we do not express any opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.

 

This opinion letter is given as of its date and we assume no obligation to supplement or update this opinion as of any date occurring hereafter. This opinion is limited to the matters on which you have requested our opinion, and we express no opinion on any other matter. At the request of our client, this opinion letter is provided to you by us in our capacity as special counsel to the Company and may not be relied upon by any Person for any purpose other than in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement without, in each instance, our prior written consent.  No attorney-client relationship exists or has existed by reason of our preparation, execution and delivery of this opinion letter to any addressee hereof or other person other than the Company.  In permitting reliance hereon by any person or entity other than the Company, we are not acting as counsel for such other person or entity and have not assumed and are not assuming any responsibility to advise such other person or entity with respect to the adequacy of this opinion letter for its purposes.

Such information will not be made available to you until your execution and return to us of this Confidentiality Agreement.

 

Accordingly, in consideration of the foregoing, you agree (on behalf of yourself and each of your affiliates, directors, officers, employees and representatives and for the benefit of us and the Company) to restrict dissemination of any Confidential Information (as defined below) only to those of your directors, officers, employees and representatives who are involved in the evaluation of such information, and to use reasonable precautions to keep such information confidential, in accordance with your customary procedures for handling confidential information of the same nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices. For purposes hereof, “Confidential Information” shall mean any non-public information supplied to the Banks by the Company pursuant to the Credit Agreement that is identified (in writing in the case of written information) by the Company as being confidential at the time the same is delivered to the Banks or the Administrative Agent, provided that nothing herein shall limit your disclosure of any such information (i) after such information shall have become public (other
