5.1                               Repayment of Loan.  The Borrower shall repay the Loan in full together with any other sums owing by the Borrower to the Lender under, or in respect of, this Agreement on the date falling 3 years after the Drawdown Date.

 

5.2                               Voluntary prepayment.  The Borrower may prepay the whole or part only of the Loan on giving at least 10 days’ prior written notice to the Lender.

 

5.3                               Effect of notice of prepayment.  A prepayment notice may not be withdrawn or amended without the consent of the Lender and the amount specified in the prepayment notice shall become due and payable by the Borrower on the date for prepayment specified in the prepayment notice.

 

5.4                               Mandatory prepayment.  The Borrower shall be obliged to prepay the whole of the Loan if, after it has directly or indirectly become the legal and/or beneficial owner of m.v. “Nusantara Regas Satu” (ex- “Khannur”), it enters into another acquisition with the Lender or with any other party on or before the date such acquisition is completed, unless the Lender agrees at such time to refinance the Loan on such terms and subject to such conditions as the Lender may agree with the Borrower acting in good faith.

 

5.5                               Amounts payable on prepayment.  A prepayment shall be made together with any amount payable under this Agreement in respect of the amount prepaid.

6                                         CONDITION PRECEDENT

 

6.1                               Condition.  The Lender’s obligation to make the Loan is subject to the condition that, on the Drawdown Date, but prior to the making of the Loan, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the borrowing of the Loan.

14.3                        Mitigation.

For purposes of this Agreement, the occurrence of an Accelerated Borrowing Base Delivery Event shall be deemed continuing at the Lender’s option (i) so long as such Default or Event of Default has not been waived, and/or (ii) if the Accelerated Borrowing Base Delivery Event arises as a result of the Borrowers’ failure to achieve Availability as required hereunder, until Availability has exceeded the greater of (x) thirty percent (30%) of the Loan Cap, or (y) $10,000,000 for sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, in which case an Accelerated Borrowing Base Delivery Event shall no longer be deemed to be continuing for purposes of this Agreement; provided, that in the discretion of the Lender an Accelerated Borrowing Base Delivery Event shall be deemed continuing (even if a Default or an Event of Default is no longer continuing and/or Availability exceeds the required amount for such sixty (60) consecutive calendar days) at all times after an Accelerated Borrowing Base Delivery Event has occurred and has been discontinued on two (2) occasions in any one 12-month period after the Closing Date.

The Adjusted LIBO Rate will be adjusted automatically as of the effective date of any change in the Statutory Reserve Rate.

 

“Adjusted Payment Conditions” means, at the time of determination with respect to any specified transaction or payment, that (a) no Default or Event of Default then exists or would arise as a result of entering into such transaction or the making of such payment, (b) the specified transaction or payment shall be funded solely with cash on hand (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, with the proceeds of any Loans), (c) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or payment, Pro Forma Excess Availability will be greater than $10,000,000, (d) no Loans shall

1.05                        Times of Day.  Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

 

1.06                        Letter of Credit Amounts.  Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms of any Issuer Documents related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the Stated Amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum Stated Amount is in effect at such time.

 

1.07                        Currency Equivalents Generally.  Any amount specified in this Agreement (other than in Article II, and Article IX,) or any of the other Loan Documents to be in Dollars shall also include the equivalent of such amount in any currency other than Dollars, such equivalent amount thereof in the applicable currency to be determined by the Lender at such time on the basis of the Spot Rate (as defined below) for the purchase of such currency with Dollars.  For purposes of this Section 1.07, the “Spot Rate” for a currency means the rate determined by the Lender to be the rate quoted by the Person acting in such capacity as the spot rate for the purchase by such Person of such currency with another currency through its principal foreign exchange trading office at approximately 11:00 a.m. on the date two Business Days prior to the date of such determination; provided, that the Lender may obtain such spot rate from another financial institution designated by the Lender if the Person acting in such capacity does not have as of the date of determination a spot buying rate for any such currency.

 

ARTICLE II
 THE COMMITMENT AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

 

2.01                        Loans; Reserves.

 

(a)                                 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lender agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Loan”) to the Borrowers from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the Loan Cap; subject in each case to the following limitations:

 

(i)                                     after giving effect to any Borrowing, the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Loan Cap,

 

(ii)                                  after giving effect to any Borrowing, the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Commitment, and

 

48

 

(iii)                               The Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations shall not at any time exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit.

 

Within the limits of the Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.04, and reborrow under this Section 2.01.  Loans may be Base Rate Loans or LIBO Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

 

(b)                                 The Inventory Reserves, Availability Reserves, and Realty Reserves as of the Closing Date are set forth in the Borrowing Base Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(c) hereof.

 

(c)                                  The Lender shall have the right, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date in its Permitted Discretion to establish, modify or eliminate Reserves.

 

2.02                        Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

 

(a)                                 Loans shall be either Base Rate Loans or LIBO Rate Loans as the Lead Borrower may request subject to and in accordance with this Section 2.02.  Subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.02, Borrowings of more than one Type may be incurred at the same time.

 

(b)                                 Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of LIBO Rate Loans shall be made upon the Lead Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Lender, which may be given by telephone.  Each such notice must be received by the Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) two (2) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBO Rate Loans or of any conversion of LIBO Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans.  Each telephonic notice by the Lead Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(b) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Lender of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower.  Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBO Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof.  Except as provided in Section 2.03(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.  Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Lead Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of LIBO Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto.  If the Lead Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Lead Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans.  Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable LIBO Rate Loans.  If the Lead Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of LIBO Rate Loans in any such

 

49

 

Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.

 

(c)                                  Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Lender shall use reasonable efforts to make funds available to the Borrowers by no later than 4:00 p.m. on the day of such requested Borrowing either by (i) crediting the account of the Lead Borrower on the books of Wells Fargo with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Lender by the Lead Borrower.

 

(d)                                 The Lender, without the request of the Lead Borrower, may advance any interest, fee, service charge (including direct wire fees), Credit Party Expenses, or other payment to which any Credit Party is entitled from the Loan Parties pursuant hereto or any other Loan Document and may charge the same to the Loan Account notwithstanding that an Overadvance may result thereby.  The Lender shall advise the Lead Borrower of any such advance or charge promptly after the making thereof.  Such action on the part of the Lender shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s rights and the Borrowers’ obligations under Section 2.04(b).  Any amount which is added to the principal balance of the Loan Account as provided in this Section 2.02(d) shall bear interest at the interest rate then and thereafter applicable to Base Rate Loans.

 

(e)                                  Except as otherwise provided herein, a LIBO Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBO Rate Loan.  During the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as LIBO Rate Loans unless the Lender otherwise consents.

 

(f)                                   The Lender shall promptly notify the Lead Borrower of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for LIBO Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate.  At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Lender shall notify the Lead Borrower of any change in the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

 

(g)                                  After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than three (3) Interest Periods in effect with respect to LIBO Rate Loans.

 

(h)                                 The Lender and the L/C Issuer shall have no obligation to make any Loan or to provide any Letter of Credit if an Overadvance would result.  The Lender may, in its discretion, make Overadvances without the consent of the Borrowers, and the L/C Issuer and the Borrowers and L/C Issuer shall be bound thereby.  Any Overadvance shall constitute a Loan.  An Overadvance is for the account of the Borrowers and shall constitute a Base Rate Loan and an Obligation and shall be repaid by the Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04(b).  The making of any such Overadvance on any one occasion shall not obligate the Lender to make or permit any Overadvance on any other occasion or to permit such Overadvances to remain outstanding. The making by the Lender of an Overadvance shall not modify or abrogate any of the provisions of Section 2.03 regarding the Lender’s obligations to purchase participations with respect to Letter of Credits.

2.03                        Letters of Credit.

 

(a)                                 The Letter of Credit Commitment.

 

(i)                                     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the L/C Issuer agrees, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; provided, that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (x) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed Loan Cap, and (y) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit.  Each request by the Lead Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrowers that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers’ ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrowers may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.  All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

 

(ii)                                  No Letter of Credit shall be issued if:

 

(A)                               subject to Section (b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Standby Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve (12) months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Lender has approved such expiry date; or

 

(B)                               subject to Section (b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Commercial Letter of Credit would occur more than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Lender has approved such expiry date; or

 

(C)                               the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless either such Letter of Credit is Cash Collateralized on or prior to the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or such later date as to which the Lender may agree) or the Lender has approved such expiry date.

 

(iii)                               No Letter of Credit shall be issued without the prior consent of the Lender if:

 

(A)                               any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from,

 

51

 

the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

 

(B)                               the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

 

(C)                               such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars; provided, that if the L/C Issuer, in its discretion, issues a Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars, all reimbursements by the Borrowers of the honoring of any drawing under such Letter of Credit shall be paid in Dollars based on the Spot Rate;

 

(D)                               such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the Stated Amount after any drawing thereunder.

 

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

 

(b)                                 Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

 

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

 

52

 

Lead Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Lender such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, and any Issuer Documents (including, if requested by the L/C Issuer, a Standby Letter of Credit Agreement or Commercial Letter of Credit Agreement, as applicable), as the L/C Issuer or the Lender may require.

 

(ii)                                  Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Lender (by telephone or in writing) that the Lender has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Lead Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Lender with a copy thereof.  Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from Lender or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied or unless the L/C Issuer would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.

 

(iii)                               If the Lead Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Standby Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided, that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Standby Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless otherwise directed by the Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Lead Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Lender or the L/C Issuer for any such extension.  Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lender shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Standby Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the Lender shall instruct the L/C Issuer not to permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Standby Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) the L/C Issuer has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Lender that it has elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Lender or the Lead Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

 

(iv)                              Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the

 

53

 

beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Lender a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

 

(c)                                  Drawings and Reimbursements.

 

(i)                                     Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Lead Borrower and the Lender thereof not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Honor Date (as defined below); provided, however, that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse the L/C Issuer and the Lender with respect to any such payment.  On the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), unless (i) the Lead Borrower, in accordance with Section 2.02(b), has requested a Borrowing of LIBO Rate Loans to be disbursed on such date to reimburse such payment by the L/C Issuer, or (ii) on or before such date the Borrowers have deposited with the L/C Issuer cash in an amount sufficient to reimburse such payment by the L/C Issuer and directed the L/C Issuer that such cash is to be used to satisfy such payment, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the amount of such payment, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02(b) for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, and without regard to whether the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 have been met. Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Lender pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided, that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

 

(ii)                                  Each Lender’s obligation to make Loans to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, and without regard to whether the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 have been met.

 

(d)                                 Obligations Absolute.  The obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following (provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Borrower from pursuing any claim it may have against the L/C Issuer as provided in Section 2.03(e)):

 

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

 

(ii)                                  the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrowers or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary

 

54

 

or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

 

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

 

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

 

(v)                                 any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries; or

 

(vi)                              the fact that any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

 

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

 

(e)                                  Role of L/C Issuer.  The Lender and the Borrowers agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.  None of the L/C Issuer, the Lender, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to the Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lender, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; (iii) any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit or any error in interpretation of technical terms; or (iv) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document.  The Borrowers hereby assume all risks of the acts or

 

55

 

omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrowers’ pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.  None of the L/C Issuer, the Lender, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(d) or for any action, neglect or omission under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or Issuer Documents, including, without limitation, the issuance or any amendment of any Letter of Credit, the failure to issue or amend any Letter of Credit, or the honoring or dishonoring of any demand under any Letter of Credit, and such action or neglect or omission will bind the Borrowers; provided, however, that anything in Section 2.03(d) to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to any applicable rules of the ISP and the UCP 600, the Borrowers may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential, exemplary or punitive damages suffered by the Borrowers which the Borrowers prove were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in (A) making payment under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that on its face does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (B) failing to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit; provided, further, that any claim against the L/C Issuer by the Borrowers for any loss suffered or incurred by the Borrowers shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (i) the amount (if any) saved by the Borrowers as a result of the breach or other wrongful conduct that allegedly caused such loss, and (ii) the amount (if any) of the loss that would have been avoided had the Borrowers taken all reasonable steps to mitigate such loss, including, without limitation, by enforcing their rights against any beneficiary and, in case of a claim of wrongful dishonor, by specifically and timely authorizing the L/C Issuer to cure such dishonor.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary (or the L/C Issuer may refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit), and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.  The L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the wording of any Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, any drawing conditions or any terms or conditions that are ineffective, ambiguous, inconsistent, unduly complicated or reasonably impossible to satisfy), notwithstanding any assistance the L/C Issuer may provide to the Borrowers with drafting or recommending text for any Letter of Credit Application or with the structuring of any transaction related to any Letter of Credit, and the Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that any such assistance will not constitute legal or other advice by the L/C Issuer or any representation or warranty by the L/C Issuer that any such wording or such Letter of Credit will be effective.  Without limiting the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may, as it deems appropriate, modify or alter and use in any Letter of Credit the terminology contained on the Letter of Credit Application for such Letter of Credit.

 

(f)                                   Cash Collateral.  Upon the request of the Lender, (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has

 

56

 

resulted in an L/C Obligation not paid in cash by the Borrowers or by a Loan in accordance with Section 2.03(c)(i), or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrowers shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations.  Sections 2.04(b) and 8.02(c) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder.  For purposes of this Section 2.03, Section 2.04(b) and Section 8.02(c), “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Lender, for its benefit and the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lender, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances in an amount equal to 105% of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (other than L/C Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars, which L/C Obligations shall be Cash Collateralized in an amount equal to 115% of the Outstanding Amount of such L/C Obligations), pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender and the L/C Issuer.  The Borrowers hereby grant to the Lender a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing.  Cash Collateral shall be maintained in a Cash Collateral Account at Wells Fargo.  If at any time the Lender determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Lender or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, the Borrowers will, forthwith upon demand by the Lender, pay to the Lender, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Lender determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim.  Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Laws, to reimburse the L/C Issuer and, to the extent not so applied, shall thereafter be applied to satisfy other Obligations.

 

(g)                                  Applicability of ISP and UCP 600.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Lead Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the UCP 600 shall apply to each Letter of Credit, provided that solely to the extent the rules of the UCP 600 do not address an issue relating to a Standby Letter of Credit, the rules of the ISP shall apply.

 

(h)                                 Letter of Credit Fees.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Lender a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Margin times the daily Stated Amount under each such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit).  For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of the Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06.  Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each month commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit and thereafter on demand, and (ii) computed on a monthly basis in arrears.  If there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate as provided in Section 2.07(b) hereof.

 

57

 

(i)                                     Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer.  The Borrowers shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer, for its own account, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect.  Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

 

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

 

2.04                        Prepayments.

 

(a)                                 The Borrowers may, upon irrevocable notice from the Lead Borrower to the Lender, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided, that (i) such notice must be received by the Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) two (2) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of LIBO Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of LIBO Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.  Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if LIBO Rate Loans, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans.  If such notice is given by the Lead Borrower, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.  Any prepayment of a LIBO Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.

 

(b)                                 If for any reason the Total Outstandings at any time exceed the Loan Cap as then in effect, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) unless, after the prepayment in full of the Loans, the Total Outstandings exceed the Loan Cap as then in effect.

 

(c)                                  After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans and Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations with proceeds and collections received by the Loan Parties to the extent so required under the provisions of Section 6.13 hereof.

 

(d)                                 The Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds received by a Loan Party on account of a Prepayment Event, irrespective of whether a Cash Dominion Event then exists and is continuing, and, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, apply any remaining Net Cash Proceeds to the Cash Collateralization of the L/C Obligations.

 

(e)                                  Prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.04(b), (c) and (d) above, first, shall be applied ratably to the outstanding Loans, second, shall be used to Cash Collateralize the remaining L/C Obligations if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and, third, the

 

58

 

amount remaining, if any, after the prepayment in full of Loans outstanding at such time and the Cash Collateralization of the remaining L/C Obligations in full may be retained by the Borrowers for use in the ordinary course of its business.  Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit that has been Cash Collateralized, the funds held as Cash Collateral shall be applied (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrowers or any other Loan Party) to reimburse the L/C Issuer or the Lender, as applicable.

 

2.05                        Termination or Reduction of the Commitment.

 

(a)                                 The Borrowers may, upon irrevocable notice from the Lead Borrower to the Lender, terminate the Commitment or the Letter of Credit Sublimit or from time to time permanently reduce the Commitment or the Letter of Credit Sublimit; provided, that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. five (5) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce (A) the Commitment if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Commitment and (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto, the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations not fully Cash Collateralized hereunder would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit.

 

(b)                                 If, after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitment or the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Letter of Credit Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Commitment, such Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.

 

(c)                                  All fees (including, without limitation, commitment fees and Letter of Credit Fees) and interest in respect of the Commitment accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Commitment shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

 

2.06                        Repayment of Loans.  The Borrower shall repay to the Lender on the Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding on such date.

 

2.07                        Interest.

 

(a)                                 Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07(b) below, (i) each LIBO Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

 

(b)                                 (i)                                     If any amount payable under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

 

59

 

(ii)                                  If any other Event of Default exists, at the option of the Lender all outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

 

(iii)                               Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

 

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

 

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

 

(a)                                 Commitment Fee.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Lender a commitment fee calculated on a per annum basis equal to (i) 0.375% times the actual daily amount by which the Commitment exceeds the Total Outstandings during the immediately preceding Fiscal Quarter if the average daily amount of Total Outstandings during the Fiscal Quarter for which such commitment fee is being calculated is less than fifty percent (50%) of the Commitment as of the last day of such Fiscal Quarter, or (ii) 0.250% times the actual daily amount by which the Commitment exceeds the Total Outstandings during the immediately preceding Fiscal Quarter if the average daily amount of Total Outstandings for such Fiscal Quarter for which such commitment fee is being calculated is greater than or equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Commitment as of the last day of such Fiscal Quarter.  The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be calculated and due and payable quarterly in arrears on the first day after the end of each Fiscal Quarter, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period.

 

(b)                                 Closing Fee.  The Borrower shall pay to the Lender a closing fee in the amount and at the time specified in the Fee Letter.  Such closing fee shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason or under any circumstances whatsoever.

 

2.09                        Computation of Interest and Fees.  All computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed.  Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.11(a), bear interest for one day.  Each determination by the Lender of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

2.10                        Evidence of Debt.

 

(a)                                 The Credit Extensions made by the Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by the Lender (the “Loan Account”) in the ordinary course of business.  The accounts or records maintained by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lender to the Borrowers and

 

60

 

the interest and payments thereon.  Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations.  Upon the request of the Lender, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Lender a Note, which shall evidence the Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records.  The Lender may attach schedules to the Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of the Loans and payments with respect thereto.  Upon receipt of an affidavit of the Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Lender’s Note and upon cancellation of such Note, the Borrowers will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note in favor of the Lender, in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

 

(b)                                 Lender shall render monthly statements regarding the Loan Account to the Lead Borrower including principal, interest, fees, and including an itemization of all charges and expenses constituting Credit Party Expenses owing, and such statements, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between Borrowers and the Credit Parties unless, within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof by the Lead Borrower, the Lead Borrower shall deliver to Lender written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in any such statements.

 

2.11                        Payments Generally.

 

(a)                                 General.  All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Lender, at the Lender’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein.  All payments received by the Lender after 2:00 p.m., at the option of the Lender, shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.  If any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

 

(b)                                 Presumptions by Lender.  Unless the Lender shall have received notice from the Lead Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Lender may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the L/C Issuer the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then the L/C Issuer agrees to repay to the Lender forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Lender, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

 

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

 

61

 

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

 

ARTICLE III
 TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY; 
 APPOINTMENT OF LEAD BORROWER

 

3.01                        Taxes.

 

(a)                                 Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if the Borrowers shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

(b)                                 Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers.  Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

(c)                                  Indemnification by the Loan Parties.  The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Lender and the L/C Issuer, within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Lead Borrower by the Lender or the L/C Issuer, or by the Lender on behalf of the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)                                 Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrowers to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Lead Borrower shall deliver to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

 

(e)                                  Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If the Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its Permitted Discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrowers an amount equal to

 

62

 

such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Lender or the L/C Issuer, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This subsection shall not be construed to require the Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

 

3.02                        Illegality.  If the Lender determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Lender to make, maintain or fund LIBO Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of the Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Lead Borrower, any obligation of the Lender to make or continue LIBO Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBO Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Lender notifies the Lead Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall, upon demand from the Lender, prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBO Rate Loans of the Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if the Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBO Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBO Rate Loans.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

 

3.03                        Inability to Determine Rates.  If the Lender determines that for any reason in connection with any request for a LIBO Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBO Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBO Rate Loan, or (c) the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBO Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of funding such Loan, the Lender will promptly so notify the Lead Borrower.  Thereafter, the obligation of the Lender to make or maintain LIBO Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Lender revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Lead Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBO Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

 

3.04                        Increased Costs; Reserves on LIBO Rate Loans.

 

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

 

(i)                                     impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with

 

63

 

or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, the Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBO Rate) or the L/C Issuer;

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(d)                                 Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of the Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not 

 

64

 

constitute a waiver of the Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate the Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that the Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Lead Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 

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

 

3.05                        Compensation for Losses.  Upon demand of the Lender from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly compensate the Lender for and hold the Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

 

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

 

(b)                                 any failure by the Borrowers to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Lead Borrower;

 

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.  The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by the Lender in connection with the foregoing.

 

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

 

3.06                        Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lender.  If the Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to the Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of the Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if the Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then the Lender shall use 

 

65

 

reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of the Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to the Lender.  The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

 

3.07                        Survival.  All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Commitment and repayment of all Obligations hereunder.

 

3.08                        Designation of Lead Borrower as Borrowers’ Agent.

 

(a)                                 Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead  Borrower as such Borrower’s agent to obtain Credit Extensions, the proceeds of which shall be available to each Borrower for such uses as are permitted under this Agreement.  As the disclosed principal for its agent, each Borrower shall be obligated to each Credit Party on account of Credit Extensions so made as if made directly by the applicable Credit Party to such Borrower, notwithstanding the manner by which such Credit Extensions are recorded on the books and records of the Lead Borrower and of any other Borrower.  In addition, each Loan Party other than the Borrowers hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead  Borrower as such Loan Party’s agent to represent such Loan Party in all respects under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(b)                                 Each Borrower recognizes that credit available to it hereunder is in excess of and on better terms than it otherwise could obtain on and for its own account and that one of the reasons therefor is its joining in the credit facility contemplated herein with all other Borrowers.  Consequently, each Borrower hereby assumes and agrees to discharge all Obligations of each of the other Borrowers.

 

(c)                                  The Lead Borrower shall act as a conduit for each Borrower (including itself, as a “Borrower”) on whose behalf the Lead Borrower has requested a Credit Extension.  Neither the Lender nor any other Credit Party shall have any obligation to see to the application of such proceeds therefrom.

If, however, the insurance policies do not provide waiver of subrogation rights against such parties, as required above, then the Loan Parties hereby agree, to the extent permitted by law, to waive their right of recovery, if any, against the Credit Parties and their agents and employees.  The designation of any form, type or amount of insurance coverage by any Credit Party under this Section 6.07 shall in no event be deemed a representation, warranty or advice by such Credit Party that such insurance is adequate for the purposes of the business of the Loan Parties or the protection of their properties.

(b)                                 Upon the request of the Lender after reasonable prior notice, permit the Lender or professionals (including investment bankers, consultants, accountants, and lawyers) retained by the Lender to conduct commercial finance examinations and other evaluations, including, without limitation, of (i) the Lead Borrower’s practices in the computation of the Borrowing Base and (ii) the assets included in the Borrowing Base and related financial information such as, but not limited to, sales, gross margins, payables, accruals and reserves.

During any Fiscal Year in which no Loans are outstanding, the Loan Parties shall pay the fees and expenses of the Lender and such professionals with respect to one (1) such inventory appraisal undertaken by the Lender during such Fiscal Year; provided, that the Lender may in its discretion undertake two (2) inventory appraisals at the Loan Parties’ expense in any Fiscal Year in which the outstanding principal amount of the Loans is greater than zero; provided, further, that the Lender may in its discretion undertake three (3) inventory appraisals at the Loan Parties’ expense in any Fiscal Year in which Availability is less than thirty percent (30%) of the Loan Cap.  In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay the fees and expenses of the Lender and such professionals with respect to one (1) real estate appraisal undertaken by the Lender during each Fiscal Year.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lender may cause additional inventory and real estate appraisals to be undertaken (i) as it in its discretion deems necessary or appropriate, at its own expense or, (ii) if required by Law or if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at the expense of the Loan Parties.

(a)                                 Furnish to the Lender at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any change in: (i) any Loan Party’s name or in any trade name used to identify it in the conduct of its business or in the ownership of its properties; (ii) the location of any Loan Party’s chief executive office, its principal place of business, any office in which it maintains books or records relating to Collateral owned by it or any office or facility at which Collateral owned by it is located (including the establishment of any such new office or facility), excluding Store locations; (iii) any Loan Party’s organizational structure or jurisdiction of incorporation or formation; or (iv) any Loan Party’s Federal Taxpayer Identification Number or organizational identification number assigned to it by its state of organization. The Loan Parties agree not to effect or permit any change referred to in the preceding sentence unless all filings have been made under the UCC or otherwise that are required in order for the Lender to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected first priority security interest in all the Collateral for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Credit Parties.

 

(b)                                 Should any of the information on any of the Schedules hereto (other than Schedule 5.08(b)(2)) become inaccurate or misleading in any material respect as a result of changes after the Closing Date, the Lead Borrower shall advise the Lender in writing of such revisions or updates as may be necessary or appropriate to update or correct the same.  From time to time as may be reasonably requested by the Lender (which request shall not be made (i) more than one (1) time in each Fiscal Quarter with respect to Schedule 5.08(b)(2) and (ii) more than two (2) times in any Fiscal Year with respect to all other Schedules, in each case so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), the Lead Borrower shall supplement each Schedule hereto, or any representation herein or in any other Loan Document, with respect to any matter arising after the Closing Date that, if existing or occurring on the Closing Date, would have been required to be set forth or described in such Schedule or as an exception to such representation or that is necessary to correct any information in such Schedule or representation which has been rendered inaccurate thereby (and, in the case of any supplements to any Schedule, such Schedule shall be appropriately marked to show the changes made therein).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no supplement or revision to any Schedule or representation shall be deemed the Credit Parties’ consent to the matters reflected in such updated Schedules or revised representations nor permit the Loan Parties to undertake any actions otherwise prohibited hereunder or fail to undertake any action required hereunder from the restrictions and requirements in existence prior to the delivery of such updated Schedules or such revision of a representation; nor shall any such supplement or revision to any Schedule or representation be deemed the Credit Parties’ waiver of any Default or Event of Default resulting from the matters disclosed therein.

 

6.15                        Physical Inventories.

 

(a)                                 Cause not less than one (1) physical inventory to be undertaken, at the expense of the Loan Parties, in each Fiscal Year, and cycle counts, in each case consistent with past practices, conducted by such inventory takers as are satisfactory to the Lender and following such methodology as is consistent with past practices. The Lender, at the expense of the Loan Parties, may participate in and/or observe each scheduled physical count of Inventory which is undertaken on behalf of any Loan Party.  The Lead Borrower, within thirty (30) days following the completion of such inventory, shall provide the Lender with a reconciliation of the results of such inventory (as well as of any other physical inventory or cycle counts undertaken by a Loan 

 

90

 

Party) and shall post such results to the Loan Parties’ stock ledgers and general ledgers, as applicable.

 

(b)                                 Permit the Lender, in its discretion, if any Default or Event of Default exists, to cause additional such inventories to be taken as the Lender determines (each, at the expense of the Loan Parties).

 

6.16                        Environmental Laws.  (a) Conduct its operations and keep and maintain its Real Estate in material compliance with all Environmental Laws; (b) obtain and renew all environmental permits necessary for its operations and properties; and (c) implement any and all investigation, remediation, removal and response actions that are appropriate or necessary to maintain the value and marketability of any Eligible Real Estate or that are required to comply with Environmental Laws pertaining to the presence, generation, treatment, storage, use, disposal, transportation or release of any Hazardous Materials on, at, in, under, above, to, from or about any of its Real Estate, provided, however, that neither a Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to undertake any such cleanup, removal, remedial or other action to the extent that its obligation to do so is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings and adequate reserves have been set aside and are being maintained by the Loan Parties with respect to such circumstances in accordance with GAAP.

 

6.17                        Further Assurances.

 

(a)                                 Execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements and other documents), that may be required under any applicable Law, or which the Lender may request, to grant, preserve, protect, perfect or enforce the Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Documents or the validity or priority of any such Lien, all at the expense of the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties also agree to provide to the Lender, from time to time upon request, evidence satisfactory to the Lender as to the perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Documents.

 

(b)                                 If any material assets are acquired by any Loan Party after the Closing Date (other than (i) assets constituting Collateral under the Security Documents that become subject to the perfected first-priority Lien (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) under the Security Documents upon acquisition thereof and (ii) owned Real Estate that will not be included in the Borrowing Base), notify the Lender thereof, and the Loan Parties will cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the Obligations and will take such actions as shall be necessary or shall be requested by the Lender to grant and perfect such Liens, including actions described in paragraph (a) of this Section 6.17, all at the expense of the Loan Parties. In no event shall compliance with this Section 6.17(b) waive or be deemed a waiver or consent to any transaction giving rise to the need to comply with this Section 6.17 if such transaction was not otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement or constitute or be deemed to constitute consent to the inclusion of any acquired assets in the computation of the Borrowing Base.

 

(c)                                  Upon the request of the Lender, cause each of its customs brokers, freight forwarders, consolidators and/or carriers in possession of a material portion of its Eligible Inventory to deliver an agreement (including, without limitation, a Customs Broker/Carrier 

 

91

 

Agreement) to the Lender covering such matters and in such form as the Lender may reasonably require.

 

(d)                                 Upon the request of the Lender, cause any of its landlords to deliver a Collateral Access Agreement to the Lender in such form as the Lender may reasonably require; provided, that the foregoing will not apply to Store locations.

 

(e)                                  Upon the request of the Lender, execute any and all further documents, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing of the Security Agreement or a short form thereof in the United States Copyright Office), that may be required under any applicable Law or which the Lender may request in order for the Lender to have a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the applicable Loan Parties in any registered copyright and copyright application that is material to the Business.

(a) Perform and observe all material terms and provisions of each Material Contract to be performed or observed by it, (b) maintain each such Material Contract in full force and effect (except to the extent such Person elects to terminate the same in accordance with its terms and so notifies the Lender and, unless the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, makes reasonable arrangements for a suitable replacement of the same), (c) enforce each such Material Contract in accordance with such Person’s reasonable business judgment, (d) take all such action to such end as may be from time to time reasonably requested by the Lender in its Permitted Discretion, and (e) upon the reasonable request of the Lender, make to each other party to each such Material Contract such demands and requests for information and reports or for action as any Loan Party is entitled to make under such Material Contract.

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Loan Parties is made to any Credit Party, or any Credit Party exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Credit Party in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then to the

 

103

 

extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.

 

9.06                        Successors and Assigns.

 

(a)                                 Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Lender.  The Lender may at any time, without consent of, or notice to, the Loan Parties, assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder (i) to an Eligible Assignee, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection Section 9.06(b), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 9.06(d); provided  however, that the Lender may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights and obligations hereunder if the result of such assignment or transfer would be to require payment by any Loan Party of additional amounts under Sections 3.01 or 3.04, or if the assignee or transferee of such rights or obligations would be entitled to invoke rights under Sections 3.02 or 3.03 and the Lender has not already invoked such rights; and provided further, to the extent that the Lender assigns any portion of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement, the Borrowers agree to enter into any such amendments to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents as may be reasonably required by Lender in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, accommodating for multiple lenders and agents, as necessary.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (b) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Credit Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Participations.  Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Loan Parties, sell participations to any Person (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of the Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including the Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations) owing to it); provided, that (i) the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Loan Parties and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (iv) so long as no Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender shall not sell participations to any Person that is a Competitor of the Loan Parties.  Any Participant shall agree in writing to comply with all confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 9.07 as if such Participant was the Lender hereunder.

 

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which the Lender sells such a participation shall provide that the Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, that such agreement or instrument may provide that the Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification that would reduce the 

 

104

 

principal of or the interest rate on the Loans, extend the term or increase the amount of the Commitment, as it relates to such Participant, or reduce the amount of any commitment fee payable pursuant to Section 2.08(a) to which such Participant is entitled.  Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Loan Parties agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.06(a)

 

(c)                                  Limitations upon Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Lead Borrower’s prior written consent.

 

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

 

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

 

(f)                                   Resignation as L/C Issuer after Assignment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time the Lender assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (a) above, Wells Fargo may resign as L/C Issuer upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Lead Borrower.  In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer, the Lead Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer; provided, however, that no failure by the Lead Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Wells Fargo as L/C Issuer unless none of the other Lenders has the capabilities to issue letters of credit sufficient to meet the reasonable business needs of the Borrowers and is willing to accept such appointment.  If Wells Fargo resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lender to make Base Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.03(c)).  Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Wells Fargo to effectively assume the obligations of Wells Fargo with respect to such Letters of Credit.

9.07                        Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.  Each of the Credit Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, funding sources, attorneys, advisors and representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Loan Party and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Lead Borrower, or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to any Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Loan Parties.

 

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof relating to the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, other than any such information that is available to any Credit Party on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

 

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

 

9.08                        Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or if the Lender shall have been served with a trustee process or similar attachment relating to property of a Loan Party, the Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the Lender or the L/C Issuer, regardless of the adequacy of the Collateral, and irrespective of whether or not the Lender or the 

 

106

 

L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrowers or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of the Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness.  The rights of the Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have.  The Lender and the L/C Issuer agree to notify the Lead Borrower promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

 

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

 

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

 

9.11                        Survival.  All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.  Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Credit Parties, regardless of any investigation made by any Credit Party or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.  Further, the provisions of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 9.04 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the repayment of the Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitment or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.  In connection with the termination of this Agreement and the release and termination of the security interests in the Collateral, the Lender may require such indemnities 

 

107

 

and collateral security as they shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect the Credit Parties against (x) loss on account of credits previously applied to the Obligations that may subsequently be reversed or revoked, (y) any obligations that may thereafter arise with respect to the Other Liabilities and (z) any Obligations that may thereafter arise under Section 9.04.

 

9.12                        Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(c)                                  WAIVER OF VENUE.  EACH LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Loan Parties each acknowledge and agree that: (i) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other hand, and each of the Loan Parties is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the 

 

109

 

process leading to such transaction, each Credit Party is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (iii) none of the Credit Parties has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Loan Parties with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether any of the Credit Parties has advised or is currently advising any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and none of the Credit Parties has any obligation to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (iv) the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and none of the Credit Parties has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Credit Parties have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and each of the Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate.  Each of the Loan Parties hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against each of the Credit Parties with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.

 

9.16                        USA PATRIOT Act Notice.  The Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow the Lender, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Act. Each Loan Party is in compliance, in all material respects, with the Act.  No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used by the Loan Parties, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

 

9.17                        Foreign Asset Control Regulations.  Neither of the advance of the Loans nor the use of the proceeds of any thereof will violate the Trading With the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., as amended) (the “Trading With the Enemy Act”) or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) (the “Foreign Assets Control Regulations”) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto (which for the avoidance of doubt shall include, but shall not be limited to, (a) Executive Order 13224 of September 21, 2001 Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism (66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (2001)) (the “Executive Order”) and (b) the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56)).  Furthermore, none of the Borrowers or their Affiliates (a) is or will become a “blocked person” as described in the Executive Order, the Trading With the Enemy Act or the Foreign Assets Control Regulations or (b) engages or will engage in any dealings or transactions, 

 

110

 

or be otherwise associated, with any such “blocked person” or in any manner violative of any such order.

 

9.18                        Time of the Essence.  Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents.

 

9.19                        Publicity.  Each Loan Party consents to the publication by the Lender of advertising material, including any “tombstone” or comparable advertising, on its website or in other marketing materials of Lender, relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using any Loan Party’s name, product photographs, logo, trademark or other insignia.  The Lender shall provide a draft reasonably in advance of any advertising material to the Lead Borrower for review and comment prior to the publication thereof.  The Lender reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations and loan syndication and pricing reporting services information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Lender consents to the disclosure by the Loan Parties of all information required to be disclosed in accordance with applicable Securities Laws, as determined by the Lead Borrower in good faith.

 

9.20                        Additional Waivers.

 

(a)                                 The Obligations are the joint and several obligation of each Loan Party. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the obligations of each Loan Party shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against any other Loan Party under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the Collateral or other security held by or on behalf of the Lender or any other Credit Party.

 

(b)                                 The obligations of each Loan Party shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations after the termination of the Commitment), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Lender or any other Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Loan Party or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Party as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations after the termination of the Commitment).

 

(c)                                  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Loan Party waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any 

 

111

 

cause of the liability of any other Loan Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations and the termination of the Commitment. The Lender and the other Credit Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or non-judicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any other Loan Party, or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Loan Party hereunder except to the extent that all the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Commitment has been terminated.  Each Loan Party waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable Law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Loan Party against any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security.

 

(d)                                 Each Borrower is obligated to repay the Obligations as joint and several obligors under this Agreement.  Upon payment by any Loan Party of any Obligations, all rights of such Loan Party against any other Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations and the termination of the Commitment. In addition, any indebtedness of any Loan Party now or hereafter held by any other Loan Party is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations and no Loan Party will demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness; provided, that payment of such indebtedness on ordinary business terms is permitted except after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.  If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Loan Party on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of any Loan Party, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Credit Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Lender to be credited against the payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Subject to the foregoing, to the extent that any Borrower shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any of the Obligations constituting Loans made to another Borrower hereunder or other Obligations incurred directly and primarily by any other Borrower (an “Accommodation Payment”), then the Borrower making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other Borrowers in an amount, for each of such other Borrowers, equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other Borrower’s Allocable Amount and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Borrowers.  As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be asserted against such Borrower hereunder without (a) rendering such Borrower “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101 (31) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”) or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (“UFCA”), (b) leaving such Borrower with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (c) leaving such Borrower unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA.

 

112

 

9.21                        No Strict Construction.  The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.  In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

 

9.22                        Attachments.  The exhibits, schedules and annexes attached to this Agreement are incorporated herein and shall be considered a part of this Agreement for the purposes stated herein, except that in the event of any conflict between any of the provisions of such exhibits and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

 

9.23                        Amendment and Restatement.  Effective immediately upon the Closing Date, the terms and conditions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated as set forth herein and the Existing Credit Agreement shall be superseded by this Agreement.  On the Closing Date, the rights and obligations of the parties evidenced by the Existing Credit Agreement shall be evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the grant of security interests and Liens in the Collateral by the Borrowers and the Guarantors under the Existing Credit Agreement and the other “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall continue under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall not in any event be terminated, extinguished or annulled but shall hereafter continue to be in full force and effect and be governed by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  All Obligations (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement and the other “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall continue to be outstanding except as expressly modified by this Agreement and shall be governed in all respects by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, it being agreed and understood that this Agreement does not constitute a novation, satisfaction, payment or reborrowing of any Obligation (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement or any other “Loan Document” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), nor does it operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Lender under any “Loan Document” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement).  All references to the Existing Credit Agreement in any Loan Document or other document or instrument delivered in connection therewith shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement and the provisions hereof.

Statement of Purpose

 

The purpose of this Investment Policy (the “Policy”) is to establish guidelines for the investment of the general funds of Christopher & Banks Corporation and its subsidiaries (“the Company”).

 

Specifically, the Policy:

 

1.               Identifies investment objectives;

2.               Specifies investment authority and responsibility; and

3.               Establishes investment portfolio guidelines.

 

The Company believes a sound Investment Policy is essential to developing strategies that ensure the investment objectives of the Company are achieved.

 

Policy Review & Approval

 

The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors will review this Policy from time to time at their discretion. Changes in this Policy must be approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, and following any such revisions or approvals, the updated Policy will be provided to other Board members.

 

Investment Objectives

 

The Company’s primary investment objectives are, in order of importance, as follows:

 

1.               Safety of principal;

2.               Maintenance of adequate liquidity; and

3.               Maximization of after-tax, after-fees return on investment.

 

Investment Authorization

 

Any two “Authorized Officers” have the authority to retain investment advisers, open securities accounts, and transfer cash or securities between sub-portfolios, securities custodial accounts or the Company’s cash concentration account.  Any one Authorized Officer may transfer cash between the Company’s cash concentration account and its money market account or other operating account utilized for meeting the Company’s immediate liquidity needs.  Authorized Officers means the SVP & Chief Financial Officer and the Vice President Tax & Treasury. Investment authorization under this Policy may not be delegated to others by the Authorized Officers.

Investment Advisers

 

The Company may choose to hire the services of one or more investment management firms and give such parties discretionary authority over individual security selection and transaction execution, provided that each such firm and its affiliates may not have more than $100 million of the Company’s assets under its management at any one time and that they agree in writing to:

 

1.                                       Manage the Company’s assets in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations and this Policy;

2.                                       Promptly inform the Company of material events related to the credit markets as a whole as well as those matters effecting the safety or liquidity of any of the Company’s specific investments;

3.                                       Conduct the purchase and sale of securities designed to receive the best price and execution, provided that, in any individually managed portfolio, no securities shall be sold that result in a loss of $10,000 or more without the prior written approval of the CEO, CFO, or Vice President Tax;

4.                                       Provide monthly written reports within 10 days following the last trading day of the month describing portfolio holdings, transactions, and performance. Such reports must be made available to the Company via the manager’s or custodian’s website or in paper copy;

5.                                       In the event of a change in the Company’s tax status, the Company will inform the managers of the portfolios effected who will then be responsible for factoring such change into the portfolio’s reported after-tax yield;

6.                                       Promptly inform the Company of matters pertinent to the placement of its assets with the investment management firm such as significant changes in ownership and relevant personnel changes;

7.                                       Meet in person with Company management at least quarterly or more often if deemed necessary by the Company;

8.                                       Attend the Company’s Audit Committee meetings if requested by management or the Committee;

9.                                       At least annually, review and recommend changes to this Investment Policy as appropriate; and

10.                                Limit fund transfers to and from the Company’s securities custodial accounts to its designated cash concentration account.

1)              Initial Quality: At the time of purchase, no more than 10% of the securities in a sub-portfolio may be rated A-/A3/A- or less. Also at the time of purchase, no more than 5% of the securities in a sub-portfolio may be unrated.

2)              Downgrades: In the event a security in an individually managed sub-portfolio is downgraded subsequent to purchase and causes a violation of minimum weighted average portfolio quality, the downgraded security may be held by the manager only after obtaining the Company’s written approval. If such approval is not obtained, the security must be sold as soon as practical but in all instances within 30 days of the downgrade.

3)              Per Issue Limit: The “per issue limit” of 5% or less is determined at time of purchase, for example, if $50 million is allocated to a given sub-portfolio, then the maximum investment in any one municipal or corporate issue would be $2.5 million.

4)              Yield Benchmarks: Acceptable yield benchmarks for the Enhanced Cash sub-portfolio include the Lipper Money Market Fund Index, the Lipper Short US Treasury Index, the Barclays 1-3 Month Treasury Index, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch (“BAML”) 1-3 Month Treasury Index, and the BAML 6 Month Treasury Index.
