Exhibit 10.2

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of March 7, 2019, by and between vTv Therapeutics LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and Rudy C. Howard (the “Executive”), and for certain purposes specified herein, only, vTv Therapeutics Inc., a Delaware corporation (“vTv”).

WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ the Executive, and the Executive is willing to serve the Company for the period and upon such other terms and conditions of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as follows:

1.Employment, Duties and Acceptance.

1.1Employment, Duties.  The Company hereby employs the Executive for the Term (as defined in Section 2.1), to render exclusive and full-time services to the Company as the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and to perform such other duties consistent with such position as may be assigned to the Executive by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “CEO”) and the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).  During the Term, the Executive shall report solely to the CEO and the Board.

1.2Acceptance.  The Executive hereby accepts such employment and agrees to render the services described above.  During the Term, the Executive agrees to serve the Company faithfully and to the best of the Executive’s ability, to devote the Executive’s entire business time, energy and skill to such employment, and to use the Executive’s best efforts, skill and ability to promote the Company’s interests.  The Executive further agrees to accept election, and to serve during all or any part of the Term, as an officer or director of the Company and of any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, without any compensation therefor other than that specified in this Agreement, if elected to any such position by the shareholders or by the Board of any Subsidiary or Affiliate, as the case may be.  The Executive shall not engage in any other business activity or serve in any industry, trade, professional, governmental or academic position during the Term, except as may be expressly approved in advance by the Chief Executive Officer or unless set forth on Annex A hereto. The Executive shall be permitted to serve on the board of an entity that does not compete with the Company, subject to the advance written approval by the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive shall also be permitted to engage in charitable, community or personal investment activities; provided, that, such activities and investments do not conflict with or interfere with the Executive’s obligations under this Agreement and that such investments are in compliance with the Company’s policies and procedures.

 

 

1.3Location.  The duties to be performed by the Executive hereunder shall be performed primarily at the offices of the Company in North Carolina, subject to reasonable travel requirements on behalf of the Company.  

2.Term of Employment; Certain Post-Term Benefits.

2.1The Term.  This Agreement and the term of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement (the “Term”) shall become effective as of March 7, 2019 (the “Effective Date”) and will continue until December 31, 2020 (the “Termination Date”), subject to earlier termination pursuant to Section 4.

2.2End-of-Term Provisions.  Prior to the end of the Term, the Company and the Executive shall meet to discuss whether the Term should be extended.  The Company shall have the right at any time, however, to give written notice of non-renewal of the Term.  In the event of non-renewal of the Term by the Company and the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company after the end of the Term, other than (i) for Cause (as defined below) or (ii) due to death or Disability (as defined below), then such termination shall be treated as a termination without Cause and the NC Restricted Period (as such term is defined in Section 8 of this Agreement) shall be reduced to a period of one year post termination of employment (the “Reduced NC Restricted Period”).  During such Reduced NC Restricted Period, the Executive shall receive as severance pay, an amount equal to the greater of (A) 50% of the payments set forth in Sections 4.4(i) and 4.4(ii) or (B) severance and benefits in accordance with Company policy as in effect at that time, in each case payable in installments in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices, subject to Executive’s signing and not revoking the release of claims as set forth in Section 4.6.  If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company after the end of the Term (x) for Cause, the Executive will not be entitled to receive any severance or other benefits or (y) due to death or Disability, the Executive will receive severance and benefits in accordance with Company policy as in effect at that time.  If the Company is willing to extend the Term and the Executive does not agree to extend the Term, then upon termination of employment at or after the end of the Term, the NC Restricted Period shall not be reduced and the Executive shall not be entitled to receive any severance benefits with respect to such termination of employment.  For the avoidance of doubt, except for the potential reduction in the duration of the NC Restricted Period, this Section 2.2 does not otherwise modify the terms of Sections 6 through 12 of this Agreement (collectively, the “Restrictive Covenants”) and the Executive shall, notwithstanding the termination of his employment with the Company, continue to be bound by the obligations contained therein.

3.Compensation; Benefits; Equity.

3.1Salary.  As compensation for all services to be rendered pursuant to this Agreement the Company agrees to pay the Executive a base salary, payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices, at the annual rate of not less than $325,000 less such deductions or amounts to be withheld as required by applicable law and regulations (the “Base Salary”).  In the event that the Board, from 

2

 

time to time, increases the Base Salary, such increased amount shall, from and after the effective date of the increase, constitute “Base Salary” for purposes of this Agreement.

3.2Incentive Compensation.

3.2.1Annual Cash Bonus.  Commencing with the 2019 fiscal year, the Executive shall be eligible to receive, to the extent earned based on individual and corporate performance as determined in the discretion of the compensation committee of vTv (the “Compensation Committee”), an annual cash performance bonus (a “Cash Bonus”) in respect of each fiscal year that ends during the Term.  Executive’s Cash Bonus for each such fiscal year shall equal up to 40% of his Base Salary in effect at the time such performance is evaluated. Subject to the Executive’s continued employment at the end of each applicable fiscal year, the amount earned in respect of any Cash Bonus shall be determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee after the end of the fiscal year for which such Cash Bonus is granted and shall be paid to the Executive on or prior to March 15th of the following calendar year.

3.2.2Annual Equity Bonus.  Commencing with fiscal year 2019, the Executive shall be eligible to receive, to the extent earned based on individual and corporate performance as determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee, an annual equity performance bonus (an “Equity Bonus”) in respect of each fiscal year that ends during the Term.  The type of award shall be determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.  If awarded, the Equity Bonus shall be granted to the Executive on or prior to March 15 of such following year.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for payment of the Equity Bonus in cash as opposed to equity or equity-based compensation, subject to similar vesting conditions.  With respect to the 2018 Fiscal Year Grant (defined below) and each Equity Bonus, (i) with respect to the portion of such 2018 Fiscal Year Grant and Equity Bonus that consists of options to purchase Common Stock, the exercise price per share of Common Stock subject thereto will equal the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the date of grant, as determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law and the terms of the vTv 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as the same shall be in effect from time to time (the “vTv Plan”); (ii) subject to the Executive’s continued services hereunder, each such grant will vest and, if applicable, become exercisable with respect to 33.33% of the shares of Common Stock subject thereto on each of the first three anniversaries of the applicable grant date, and (iii) the award will have other customary terms and conditions as are consistent with the vTv Plan and with applicable law.

3.2.32018 Fiscal Year Grant.  vTv shall grant to the Executive on or within 30 days following the Effective Date a grant of options (the “2018 Fiscal Year Grant”) to acquire 125,000 shares of Common Stock.  The terms of the 2018 Fiscal Year Grant will be determined as described in Section 3.2.2.

3

 

3.3Business Expenses.  The Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all reasonable expenses actually incurred or paid by the Executive during the Term in the performance of the Executive’s services under this Agreement, upon presentation of expense statements or vouchers or such other supporting information as the Company customarily may require of its officers; provided, however, that the maximum amount available for such expenses during any period may be fixed in advance by the Board.

3.4Vacation.  During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to a vacation period or periods of four (4) weeks during any calendar year taken in accordance with the vacation policy of the Company during each year of the Term.  

3.5Fringe Benefits.  During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to all benefits for which the Executive shall be eligible under any qualified pension plan, 401(k) plan, group insurance or other so-called “fringe” benefit plan which the Company provides to its executive employees generally, which benefits may be amended, modified or terminated in the Company’s sole discretion.

4.Termination.

4.1Death.  If the Executive dies during the Term, the Term shall terminate forthwith upon the Executive’s death.  The Company shall pay to the Executive’s estate: (i) any Base Salary earned but not paid; (ii) a Pro Rata Cash Bonus (defined below), payable at the time and in the manner that Cash Bonuses are paid to other executives receiving such bonus payment; and (iii) Cash Bonus for the year prior to the year in which the Executive dies if at the time of death the Executive has earned a Cash Bonus payment for such prior year and has not yet been paid such Cash Bonus, which prior year Cash Bonus will be paid at the time and in the manner such prior year Cash Bonus is paid to other executives receiving such prior year Cash Bonus.  The Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement, except to the extent already earned and vested as of the day immediately prior to his death, or as is earned, vested, or accrued by virtue of his death.  “Pro Rata Cash Bonus” shall mean a pro-rata portion of the Cash Bonus granted to the Executive for the year in which the date of termination occurs equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days during such year through (and including) the date of termination and the denominator of which is 365, with such pro-rata portion earned in an amount based on the degree to which the applicable performance goals are achieved for the entire year in which the date of termination occurs.

4.2Disability.  If, during the Term the Executive is unable to perform his duties hereunder due to a physical or mental incapacity for a period of 6 months within any 12 month period (hereinafter a “Disability”), the Company shall have the right at any time thereafter to terminate the Term upon sending written notice of termination to the Executive.  If the Company elects to terminate the Term by reason of Disability, the Company shall pay to the Executive promptly after the notice of termination: (i) any Base Salary earned but not paid; (ii) a Pro Rata Cash Bonus paid at the time and in the manner such Cash Bonus is paid to other executives receiving such 

4

 

bonus payment; and (iii) a Cash Bonus for the year prior to the year in which the Executive is terminated if at the time of termination the Executive has earned a Cash Bonus payment for such prior year and has not yet been paid such Cash Bonus, which prior year Cash Bonus will be paid at the time and in the manner such prior year Cash Bonus is paid to other executives receiving such prior year Annual Cash Bonus, in each case less any other benefits payable to the Executive under any disability plan provided for hereunder or otherwise furnished to the Executive by the Company. The Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement except to the extent already earned and vested as of the day immediately prior to his termination by reason of Disability, or as earned, vested, or accrued by virtue of his Disability.

4.3Cause.  The Company may at any time by written notice to the Executive terminate the Term for “Cause” (as defined below) and, upon such termination, this Agreement shall terminate and the Executive shall be entitled to receive no further amounts or benefits hereunder, except for any Base Salary earned but not paid prior to such termination.  For the purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means: (i) continued neglect by the Executive of the Executive’s duties hereunder, (ii) continued incompetence or unsatisfactory attendance, (iii) conviction of any felony, (iv) violation of the rules, regulations, procedures or instructions relating to the conduct of employees, directors, officers and/or consultants of the Company, (v) willful misconduct by the Executive in connection with the performance of any material portion of the Executive’s duties hereunder, (vi) breach of fiduciary obligation owed to the Company or commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement, disloyalty or defalcation, or usurpation of a Company opportunity, (vii) breach of any provision of this Agreement, including any non-competition, non-solicitation and/or confidentiality provisions hereof, (viii) any act that has a material adverse effect upon the reputation of and/or the public confidence in the Company, (ix) failure to comply with a reasonable order, policy or rule that constitutes material insubordination, (x) engaging in any discriminatory or sexually harassing behavior, or (xi) using, possessing or being impaired by or under the influence of illegal drugs or the abuse of controlled substances or alcohol on the premises of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or while working or representing the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.  A termination for Cause by the Company of any of the events described in clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (ix), (x) and (xi) shall only be effective on 15 days advance written notification, providing the Executive the opportunity to cure, if reasonably capable of cure within said 15-day period; provided, however, that no such notification is required if the Cause event is not reasonably capable of cure or the Board determines that its fiduciary obligation requires it to effect a termination of the Executive for Cause immediately.

4.4Termination by Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason.  If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (other than by reason of death or Disability) or by the Executive for Good Reason (as defined below), the Term shall terminate and the Executive shall receive: (i) as severance pay, an amount equal to one times the Base Salary payable in installments in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices, (ii) continuation for a 12-month period following the date of termination of group health plan benefits to 

5

 

the extent authorized by and consistent with 29 U.S.C. § 1161 et seq. (commonly known as “COBRA”), with the cost of the regular premium for such benefits shared in the same relative proportion by the Company and the Executive as in effect on the date of termination (provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any portion of the premium if such payment would result in penalty taxes imposed on the Company), (iii) a Pro Rata Cash Bonus (provided, that, if the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to this Section 4.4 on or within twelve (12) months following a Change-in-Control (as such term is defined in the vTv Plan), the Executive shall receive, instead of a Pro Rata Cash Bonus, payment of his Cash Bonus) paid at the time and in the manner such Cash Bonus is paid to other executives receiving such bonus payment, and (iv) a Cash Bonus for the year prior to the year in which the Executive is so terminated if at the time of termination the Executive has earned a Cash Bonus payment for such prior year and such Cash Bonus has not yet been paid, which prior year Cash Bonus will be paid at the time and in the manner such prior year Cash Bonus is paid to other executives receiving such prior year Cash Bonus.  The Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means, without the advance written consent of the Executive: (i) a reduction in Base Salary, (ii) a material and continuing reduction in the Executive’s responsibilities or (iii) if on or during the 12 month period following a Change-in-Control, the Executive is required to relocate to a principal place of employment which increases his one way commute by more than 50 miles; provided, that, a termination by the Executive for Good Reason under clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) shall be effective only if the Executive provides the Company with written notice specifying the event which constitutes Good Reason within thirty (30) days following the occurrence of such event or date the Executive became aware or should have become aware of such event and the Company fails to cure the circumstances giving rise to Good Reason within 30 days after such notice.

4.5Termination by the Executive other than for Good Reason.  The Executive is required to provide the Company with 30 days’ prior written notice of termination to the Company.  Subject to Section 4.4, upon termination of employment by the Executive, the Term shall terminate and the Executive shall receive any Base Salary earned but not paid prior to such termination and shall have no further rights to any compensation (including any Base Salary or Cash Bonus) or any other benefits under this Agreement, except to the extent already earned and vested as of the day immediately prior to such termination.

4.6Release.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that any and all payments, other than payment of any accrued and unpaid Base Salary to which the Executive is entitled under this Section 4 are conditioned upon and subject to the Executive’s execution of a general waiver and release (for the avoidance of doubt, the Restrictive Covenants shall survive the termination of this Agreement), in such form as may be prepared by the Company of all claims, except for such matters covered by provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the severance payments and benefits are conditioned on the Executive’s execution, delivery and nonrevocation of the general 

6

 

waiver and release of claims within fifty-five (55) days following the Executive’s termination of employment (the “Release Condition”).  Payments and benefits of amounts which do not constitute nonqualified deferred compensation and are not subject to Section 409A (as defined below) shall commence five (5) days after the Release Condition is satisfied and payments and benefits which are subject to Section 409A shall commence on the 60th day after termination of employment (subject to further delay, if required pursuant to Section 4.7.2 below) provided that the Release Condition is satisfied.

4.7Section 409A.

4.7.1This Agreement is intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code,” and such section, “Section 409A”) with respect to amounts, if any, subject thereto and shall be interpreted and construed and shall be performed by the parties consistent with such intent.  If either party notifies the other in writing that one or more provisions of this Agreement contravenes any Treasury Regulations or guidance promulgated under Section 409A or causes any amounts to be subject to interest, additional tax or penalties under Section 409A, the parties shall agree to negotiate in good faith to make amendments to this Agreement as the parties mutually agree, reasonably and in good faith are necessary or desirable, to (i) maintain to the maximum extent reasonably practicable the original intent of the applicable provisions without violating the provisions of Section 409A or increasing the costs to the Company of providing the applicable benefit or payment and (ii) to the extent possible, to avoid the imposition of any interest, additional tax or other penalties under Section 409A upon the parties.

4.7.2To the extent the Executive would otherwise be entitled to any payment or benefit under this Agreement, or any plan or arrangement of the Company or its Affiliates, that constitutes a “deferral of compensation” subject to Section 409A and that, if paid during the six (6) months beginning on the date of termination of the Executive’s employment, would be subject to the Section 409A additional tax because the Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A and as determined by the Company), the payment or benefit will be paid or provided to the Executive on the earlier of the first day following the six (6) month anniversary of the Executive’s termination of employment or death.

4.7.3Any payment or benefit due upon a termination of the Executive’s employment that represents a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A shall be paid or provided to the Executive only upon a “separation from service” as defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h).  Each payment made under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A.  Amounts payable under this Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “deferral of compensation” subject to Section 409A to the extent provided in the exceptions in Treasury Regulation §§ 1.409A-1(b)(4) (“short-term deferrals”) and (b)(9) (“separation pay plans,” including the exception under 

7

 

subparagraph (iii)) and other applicable provisions of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1 through A-6.

4.7.4Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any payment or benefit under this Agreement or otherwise that is exempt from Section 409A pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(A) or (C) (relating to certain reimbursements and in-kind benefits) shall be paid or provided to the Executive only to the extent that the expenses are not incurred, or the benefits are not provided, beyond the last day of the second calendar year following the calendar year in which the Executive’s “separation from service” occurs; and provided further that such expenses are reimbursed no later than the last day of the third calendar year following the calendar year in which the Executive’s “separation from service” occurs.  To the extent any expense reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit is determined to be subject to Section 409A (and not exempt pursuant to the prior sentence or otherwise), the amount of any such expenses eligible for reimbursement, or the provision of any in-kind benefit, in one calendar year shall not affect provision of in-kind benefits or expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year (except for any life-time or other aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses), and in no event shall any expenses be reimbursed after the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Executive incurred such expenses, and in no event shall any right to reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

5.Restrictive Covenant Acknowledgments; Reasonableness.

The Executive acknowledges that (i) his employment and job duties for the Company, including under this Agreement, have resulted and will continue to result in the Executive’s access and exposure to, and familiarity with, Confidential Information (as such term is defined in Section 9 of this Agreement) and that the disclosure or unauthorized use of such Confidential Information by the Executive will injure the Company’s business; (ii) the Company’s business would suffer great competitive harm if its Confidential Information should be disclosed to its competitors or to the general public, and the Company would also suffer great harm if the Executive were to exploit the relationships which have been established with the Company’s customers for the benefit of a competitor; (iii) the Company is entering into this Agreement in order to prevent the disclosure of trade secrets and other competitively sensitive information relating to the Company’s business, and in order to facilitate and induce the disclosure of Confidential Information among employees of the Company with the assurance that such information will not be used in unfair competition against the Company; (iv) he has had the opportunity to be represented by counsel in the negotiation and execution of this Agreement; and (v) that the covenants set forth in Sections 6 through 12 of this Agreement are reasonable in terms of duration, scope and area restrictions and are necessary for the protection of the legitimate business interests of the Company and its Affiliates.  If, at the time of enforcement of such covenants, a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated therein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the Executive and the Company agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, 

8

 

scope or area and that the court shall be allowed and directed to revise the covenants to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by applicable law.  For purposes of Sections 5 through 10, 12, and 13 of this Agreement, the term “Company” shall include the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Affiliates.

	
 
	
6.
	
Covenants Relating to Ownership of Notes, Records and Documents.

All memoranda, notes, records and other documents (and copies thereof), whether in hard copy or electronic format, made or compiled by the Executive or made available to the Executive during his employment concerning the business of the Company, including, without limitation, all technical or scientific data, ideas, intellectual property, records, notes, experiment books, bidding data and other technical material of the Company shall be the Company’s property; provided, that, the Executive shall be entitled to keep a copy of this Agreement and compensation and benefit plans to which the Executive is entitled to receive benefits thereunder.

7.Non-Solicitation Covenants.

7.1During (i) the Executive’s employment with the Company and (ii) for a period of three (3) years following termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason (the “NS Restricted Period”), the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit, divert or take away (or attempt to solicit, divert or take away) the business of any client, customer or supplier of the Company (each such party, a “Restricted Party”) or encourage any Restricted Party to cease doing business with the Company or to reduce the amount of business such Restricted Party does with the Company.

7.2Executive shall not, for the duration of the NS Restricted Period, directly or indirectly, solicit or encourage (or cause to be solicited or encouraged) any person who (i) is an employee of, or consultant then under contract with, the Company or (ii) who was an employee of, or consultant with, the Company within the six-month period preceding such solicitation, to cease employment with, or the provision of services to, the Company.

8.Noncompetition Covenant.

In support of the Executive’s commitment to maintain the confidentiality of the Company’s Confidential Information, (i) during the Executive’s employment with the Company and (ii) for a period of two (2) years following termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason (the “NC Restricted Period”), the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) enter the employ of, or render services to (including as a salesperson, consultant or in strategic planning role), any “Competing Business” within the “Territory” (as such terms are defined below), (b) engage in any Competing Business

For purposes of this Agreement, “Competing Business” shall be defined as any business that engages in clinical research in drug development; provided, however, that this definition shall only apply to clinical research and development activities which involve products and services similar to those provided by the Company during the Term or which, during the Term, the Company anticipates providing; provided, that, as applied to conduct by the Executive following the Term, a Competing Business shall only include such activities that the Company was engaged in, or that the Company anticipated engaging in, as of the last day of the Term.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Territory” shall be defined as each and all of the geographic areas and locations where (x) the Company carries on or transacts its business, (y) the Company sells or markets its products or services, or (z) the Company’s customers are located.

9.Covenant Not to Disclose Confidential Information.

10.Non-disparagement Covenant.

Executive agrees that, during the Executive’s employment with the Company and at all times thereafter, the Executive shall not issue, circulate, publish or utter any false or disparaging statements, remarks or rumors about the Company or the customers, employees, directors, managers, officers, products, partners, shareholders or services of the Company; provided, that, nothing herein shall prohibit the Executive from providing truthful testimony if such testimony is required by law.

11.Inventions Covenant.

11.1During the course of employment, the Executive agrees to promptly disclose in confidence to the Company all inventions, improvements, designs, original works of authorship, formulae, processes, algorithms, compositions of matter, computer software programs, databases, mask works, and trade secrets (“Inventions”) that the Executive makes or conceives or first reduces to practice or creates, either alone or jointly with others, whether or not in the course of his employment, and whether or not such Inventions are patentable, copyrightable, or protectable as trade secrets.  

10

 

11.2The Executive understands that, under copyright laws, any copyrightable works prepared by the Executive within the course and scope of his employment is “works for hire.”  Consequently, the Company will be considered the author and owner of such works.

11.3The Executive agrees that all Inventions that (a) are developed using equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secrets of the Company, (b) result from work performed by the Executive for the Company, or (c) relate to the Company’s business or current or anticipated research and development, will be the sole and exclusive property of the Company.  The Executive hereby assigns and agrees to transfer to the Company any and all intellectual property, including all intellectual property rights, registrations, trade secrets rights as well as worldwide rights in any intellectual property or other forms of protection.

11.4The Executive also waives and agrees never to assert any “Moral Rights” the Executive might have in or with respect to any Invention even after the Executive leaves the Company.  “Moral Rights” means any right (or similar right existing under the judicial or statutory law of any country or treaty) to claim authorship of any Invention, to object or prevent modification of any Invention, or to withdraw from circulation or to control the publication distribution of any Invention.

11.5The Executive agrees to execute, acknowledge, make and deliver to Company or its attorneys, without additional compensation, but without expense to the Executive, any and all instruments, including, without limitation, United States and foreign patent applications, trademark and copyright applications, applications for securing, protecting or registering any property rights embraced within this Agreement, powers of attorney, assignments, oaths or affirmations, supplemental oaths and sworn statements, and to do any and all lawful acts that, in the judgment of the Company or its attorneys, may be necessary or desirable to vest in or secure for, or maintain for the benefit of, the Company, adequate patent and other property rights in the United States and all foreign countries with respect to any and all such Inventions.

11.6The Executive has attached hereto a list describing all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, improvements, and trade secrets which were made by the Executive prior to employment with the Company (collectively referred to as “Prior Inventions”), which belong to the Executive, which relate to the Company’s proposed business, products or research and development, and which are not assigned to the Company hereunder; or, if no such list is attached, the Executive represents that there are no such Prior Inventions.  The Executive agrees that he will not incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, any Prior Invention owned by the Executive or in which he has an interest into a Company product or process without the Company’s prior written consent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if, in the course of the Executive’s employment, the Executive incorporates into a Company product or process a Prior Invention owned by the Executive or in which he has an interest, the Company is hereby granted and shall have a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license to make, have made, modify, use and sell such Prior Invention as part of or in connection with such product or process.

11

 

12.Property of the Company.

The Executive acknowledges that from time to time in the course of providing services pursuant to this Agreement he shall have the opportunity to inspect and use certain property, both tangible and intangible, of the Company, and the Executive hereby agrees that said property shall remain the exclusive property of the Company, and the Executive shall have no right or proprietary interest in such property, whether tangible or intangible, including, without limitation, the Company’s customer and supplier lists, contract forms, books of account, computer programs and similar property.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that he has no expectation of privacy with respect to the Company’s telecommunications, networking or information processing systems (including, without limitation, files, e-mail messages and voice messages) and that the Executive’s activity and any files or messages on or using any of those systems may be monitored at any time without notice.  The Executive further agrees that any property situated on the Company’s premises and owned by the Company, including disks and other storage media, filing cabinets or other work areas, is subject to inspection by Company personnel without notice.

 

13.Remedies.

13.1The Executive and the Company agree and acknowledge that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by the Executive would result in continuing material and irreparable harm and injury to the Company and/or its Affiliates, and because either (i) money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company or (ii) it would be difficult or impossible to establish the full monetary value of such damages, the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief (including, without limitation, specific performance, account for profits, or injunctive relief) in the event of the Executive’s breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.  Any equitable relief is in addition to any other available remedy, including, damages.  In connection with the bringing of any legal or equitable action for the enforcement of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to recover, regardless of whether the Company seeks equitable relief, and regardless of the nature of the relief afforded, such reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses as the Company may incur in such legal action.    

13.2In addition to any other remedy which may be available (i) at law or in equity or (ii) pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement, the continued payments by the Company of Base Salary and the regular premium for group health benefits pursuant to Section 4.4 (as modified by Section 2.2, if applicable) will cease as of the date on which such violation first occurs.  In addition, if the Executive breaches any of the Restrictive Covenants and the Company obtains injunctive relief with respect thereto (that is not later reversed or otherwise terminated or vacated by judicial order), the period during which the Executive is required to comply with that particular covenant shall be extended by the same period that the Executive was in breach of such covenant prior to the effective date of such injunctive relief.

13.3Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Executive from reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to or otherwise cooperating with or providing information 

12

 

requested by any governmental agency or entity, including, but not limited to, the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the United States Congress, any state legislative and executive agency, and any agency Inspector General, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. Executive does not need the prior authorization of the Company to make any such reports or disclosures and Executive is not required to notify the Company that Executive has made such reports or disclosures.

14.Executive Representation.  The Executive hereby represents and warrants that (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Executive does not and will not conflict with, breach, violate, or cause a default under any agreement, contract, or instrument to which the Executive is a party or any judgment, order, or decree to which the Executive is subject and (ii) the Executive is not a party or bound by any other employment agreement, noncompetition agreement, or confidentiality agreement with any other person or entity, other than the Company.  The Executive further represents that he shall provide a copy of this Agreement to any new employer during the Term and for three (3) years thereafter and that the Company shall have a right to provide a copy of this Agreement to any new employer of the Executive during such period.

16.Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.

16.1It is the intent of the parties hereto that all questions with respect to the construction of this Agreement and the rights and liabilities of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws thereof that would call for the application of the substantive law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

16.2Each party irrevocably agrees for the exclusive benefit of the other that any and all suits, actions or proceedings relating to this Agreement (a “Proceeding”) shall be maintained in either the courts of the State of Delaware or the federal District Courts sitting in Wilmington, Delaware (collectively, the “Chosen Courts”) and that the Chosen Courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine or settle any such Proceeding and that any such Proceedings shall only be brought in the Chosen Courts.  Each party irrevocably waives any objection that it may have now or hereafter to the laying of the venue of any Proceedings in the Chosen Courts and any claim that any Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further irrevocably agrees that a judgment in any Proceeding brought in the Chosen Courts shall be conclusive and binding upon it and may be enforced in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

16.3Each of the parties hereto agrees that this Agreement involves at least $100,000 and that this Agreement has been entered into in express reliance on Section 2708 of Title 6 of the Delaware Code.  Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that (i) to the extent such party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Delaware, it will appoint (and maintain an agreement with respect to) an agent in the State of Delaware as such party’s agent for acceptance of legal process and notify the other parties hereto of the name and address of said agent, (ii) service of process may also be made on such party by pre-paid certified mail with a validated proof of mailing receipt constituting evidence of valid service sent to such party at the address set forth in Section 15 of this Agreement, as such address may be changed from time to time pursuant hereto, and (iii) service made pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, have the same legal force and effect as if served upon such party personally within the State of Delaware.

17.General.

17.1JURY TRIAL WAIVER.  THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN THE EVENT ANY ACTION ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EXECUTIVE’S EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY IS LITIGATED OR HEARD IN ANY COURT.

14

 

17.2Continuation of Employment.  Unless the parties otherwise agree in writing, continuation of the Executive’s employment with the Company beyond the expiration of the Term shall be deemed an employment “at will” and shall not be deemed to extend any of the provisions of this Agreement, and the Executive’s employment may thereafter be terminated “at will” by the Executive or the Company and the Executive will be entitled to fringe benefits which the Executive is eligible to receive for so long as the Executive continues to be employed with the Company and the Executive shall be eligible for severance in accordance with the terms of the Company’s severance policy then in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall be subject to the Restrictive Covenants set forth in Sections 6 through 12 of this Agreement for the NC Restricted Period, the NS Restricted Period, the Reduced NC Restricted Period, or such other duration specified in the section of this Agreement applicable to such Restrictive Covenant, as applicable.

17.3Headings.  The section headings contained herein are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

17.4Entire Agreement.  This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the Executive’s employment by the Company, and supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings, written or oral, relating to the Executive’s employment by the Company and its Affiliates including, without limitation, effective as of the Effective Date, and any severance, retention, change in control or similar types of benefits.  No representation, promise or inducement has been made by either party that is not embodied in this Agreement, and neither party shall be bound by or liable for any alleged representation, promise or inducement not so set forth.  The parties hereto understand and agree that, with respect to conduct occurring prior to the Term, the covenants in (i) the Noncompetition, Nonsolicitation, and Nondisclosure Agreement by and between the Executive and the Company dated as of June 15, 2015 and (ii) the Employment Agreement by and between the Executive and the Company, dated as of July 16, 2015, shall apply, such agreements not being superseded or voided in respect of their applicability to any such conduct.

17.5Assignment; Successors.  This Agreement, and the Executive’s rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned by the Executive.  The Company may assign its rights, together with its obligations, hereunder (i) to any Affiliate or (ii) to third parties in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company; in any event the obligations of the Company hereunder shall be binding on its successors or assigns, whether by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of its business or assets.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may assign this Agreement to vTv in connection with any internal reorganization.

17.6Waiver.  This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded, canceled, renewed or extended and the terms or covenants hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument executed by all of the parties hereto, or in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance.  The failure of either party at any time or 

15

 

times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect the right at a later time to enforce the same.  No waiver by either party of the breach of any term or covenant contained in this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such breach, or a waiver of the breach of any other term or covenant contained in this Agreement.

17.7Withholding Taxes.  The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state, local and other taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

18.Subsidiaries and Affiliates.

18.1As used herein, the term “Subsidiary” shall mean any corporation or other business entity controlled directly or indirectly by the corporation or other business entity in question, and the term “Affiliate” shall mean and include any corporation or other business entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the corporation or other business entity in question.

If the Borrower makes a request pursuant to the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, not later than 11:00 a.m., three Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the applicable Lenders.  Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.  Except as provided in Section 2.03(d), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Advances shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.  Each Notice of Borrowing, each notice of conversion of Advances from one Type to the other, and each notice of continuation of Eurodollar Rate Advances shall specify, as applicable, (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Advances from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Advances, (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 Borrowing to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Borrowing to be borrowed or to which existing Advances are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto.  If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Advance in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Advance shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Advances.  Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Advance shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Advance.  If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Advance in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.
(a)    [Reserved].
(b)    Each Committed Loan Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower; provided that any such notice in respect of any acquisition not prohibited under this Agreement, or in connection with any Borrowing or Extension, as applicable, under an Incremental Amendment, Refinancing Amendment, or an Extension Offer, may be conditioned on the consummation of such acquisition or the effectiveness of any such Incremental Amendment, Refinancing Amendment, or Extension, as applicable).  In the case of any Borrowing that the related Committed Loan Notice specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower shall, upon demand from any Appropriate Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand, indemnify each Appropriate Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Committed Loan Notice for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

36
Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

(c)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from an Appropriate Lender prior to the time of any Borrowing under a Facility under which such Lender has a Commitment that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.01(a) and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.  If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay or pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount and to pay interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid or paid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at such time under Section 2.07(a) to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.  If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for all purposes.
(d)    The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.
SECTION 2.03.      Issuance of and Drawings and Reimbursement Under Letters of Credit.  (a)  Request for Issuance.  Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon notice, given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day (or such fewer days as the applicable Issuing Bank and the Borrower shall agree) prior to the date of the proposed issuance of such Letter of Credit, by the Borrower to the applicable Issuing Bank, which shall give to the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender prompt notice thereof by electronic communication.  Each such notice of issuance of a Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Issuance”) shall be by telephone, confirmed promptly in writing or by electronic communication, specifying therein the requested (A) date of such issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (B) Available Amount of such Letter of Credit, (C) expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (D) name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (E) form of such Letter of Credit, and shall be accompanied by a Letter of Credit Application for use in connection with such requested Letter of Credit.  If (x) the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion and (y) it has not received notice from any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article III have not been fulfilled, the applicable Issuing Bank will, upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower at its office referred to in Section 9.02 or as otherwise agreed with the Borrower in connection with such issuance.    
(a)    Letter of Credit Reports.  Each Issuing Bank shall furnish (A) to the Administrative Agent on the first Business Day of each week a written report summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the previous week and drawings during such week under all Letters of Credit by such Issuing Bank, (B) to each Revolving Credit Lender on the first Business Day of each month a written report summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit by such Issuing Bank issued during the preceding month and drawings during such month under all Letters of Credit by such Issuing Bank and (C) to the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter a written report setting forth the average daily aggregate Available Amount during the preceding calendar quarter of all Letters of Credit by such Issuing Bank.
(b)    [Reserved].
(c)    Drawing and Reimbursement.  

37
Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

(i)    Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof.  If the Borrower is notified of such drawing prior to 11:00 a.m. on such date, then not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of any payment by such Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit (or 1:00 p.m. on the next succeeding Business Day, if the Borrower is not notified of such drawing prior to 11:00 a.m. on such day) (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Bank through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing.  If the Borrower fails to so reimburse such Issuing Bank by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing of the L/C Disbursement (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Available Amount thereof.  In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Base Rate Advance to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02(a) for the principal amount of Base Rate Advances, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice).  Any notice given by an Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(d)(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 shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(d)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(d)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Advance to the Borrower in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Issuing Bank. 
(iii)    With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Base Rate Advance because the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from an Issuing Bank a Letter of Credit Advance in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which Letter of Credit Advance shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum then applicable to Revolving Credit Advances that are Base Rate Advances (provided that if the Borrower fails to reimburse such Letter of Credit Advance when due pursuant to this clause (iii), then Section 2.07(b) shall apply).  In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.03(d)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Advance and shall constitute an Letter of Credit Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.
(iv)    Until each Lender funds its Letter of Credit Advance or Base Rate Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank.
(v)    Each Lender’s obligation to make Letter of Credit Advances or Base Rate Advances to reimburse an Issuing Bank for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(d), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against an Issuing Bank, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Base Rate Advances pursuant 

38
Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

to this Section 2.03(d) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice, Notice of Issuance or a notice of renewal of a Letter of Credit).  No such making of a Letter of Credit Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse an Issuing Bank for the amount of any payment made by an Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
(vi)    If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(d) by the time specified in Section 2.03(d)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by such Issuing Bank in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Issuing Bank in connection with the foregoing.  If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance included in the relevant Base Rate Advance or Letter of Credit Advance in respect of the relevant Letter of Credit Advance, as the case may be.  A certificate of an Issuing Bank submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The failure of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such Lender on the date specified in this Section 2.03(d) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Letter of Credit Advance or Base Rate Advance, as applicable, on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance or Base Rate Advance, as applicable, to be made by such other Lender on such date.
(d)    Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse any Issuing Bank for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each Letter of Credit Advance shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;
(ii)    the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Bank 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)    waiver by an Issuing Bank of any requirement that exists for such Issuing Bank’s protection and not the protection of the Borrower or any waiver by such Issuing Bank which does not in fact materially prejudice the Borrower;
(v)    honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft;

39
Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

(vi)    any payment made by an Issuing Bank in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable;
(vii)    any payment by an Issuing Bank 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 an Issuing Bank 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 Bankruptcy Law; or
(viii)    any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary.
The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly notify the relevant Issuing Bank.  The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against such Issuing Bank and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(e)    Conflict with L/C Related Documents.  In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any L/C Related Document, the terms hereof shall control.
SECTION 2.04.      Repayment of Advances.  The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Revolving Credit Lenders on the Termination Date in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances then outstanding.
SECTION 2.05.      Termination or Reduction of the Commitments.  (a)  Optional.  The Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part the Unused Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that each partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Facility (i) shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) shall be made ratably among the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares with respect to such Facility.
(a)    Mandatory.  The Letter of Credit Facility shall be permanently reduced from time to time on the date of each reduction in the Revolving Credit Facility by the amount, if any, by which the amount of the Letter of Credit Facility exceeds the Revolving Credit Facility after giving effect to such reduction of the Revolving Credit Facility.
SECTION 2.06.      Prepayments.  (a)  Optional.  The Borrower may, upon notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Advances in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (it being acknowledged and agreed that a notice addressed to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 9.02 and containing the information required by the immediately following sentence shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Advances and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Advances; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Advances 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 

40
Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Advances to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Advances are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Advances.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility on such date of such prepayment).  If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided that the Borrower may rescind, or extend the date for prepayment specified in, any notice of prepayment under this Section 2.06(a), if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or any portion of any Facility, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.  Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts then due and payable pursuant to Section 9.04(c).  Subject to Section 2.15, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Advances of the Lender Parties in accordance with the amount ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts thereof owing to the Lender Parties on such date of such prepayment.
(a)    Mandatory.  (i)  The Borrower shall, on each Business Day, prepay, in the manner set forth in clause (iii) below, an aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances comprising part of the same Borrowings and the Letter of Credit Advances and deposit an amount in the L/C Collateral Account in an amount equal to the amount by which (A) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of (x) the Revolving Credit Advances and (y) the Letter of Credit Advances then outstanding plus the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding exceeds (B) the Revolving Credit Facility on such Business Day.
(i)    The Borrower shall, on each Business Day, pay to the Administrative Agent for deposit in the L/C Collateral Account an amount sufficient to cause the aggregate amount on deposit in the L/C Collateral Account to equal the amount by which the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding exceeds the Letter of Credit Facility on such Business Day.
(ii)    Prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility made pursuant to clause (i) above shall be first applied to prepay Letter of Credit Advances then outstanding until such Advances are paid in full, second applied to prepay Revolving Credit Advances then outstanding comprising part of the same Borrowings until such Advances are paid in full and third deposited in the L/C Collateral Account to Cash Collateralize the Letters of Credit then outstanding; and the amount remaining (if any) after the prepayment in full of the Advances then outstanding and the Cash Collateralization of the Letters of Credit then outstanding may be retained by the Borrower.  Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit in the L/C Collateral Account, such funds shall be applied to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank or Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable.
(iii)    All prepayments under this subsection (b) shall be made together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid, together with any amounts then due and payable pursuant to Section 9.04(c).
SECTION 2.07.      Interest.  (a)  Scheduled Interest.  The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:
(i)    Base Rate Advances.  During such periods as such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (A) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (B) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December during such periods and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.
(ii)    Eurodollar Rate Advances.  During such periods as such Advance is a Eurodollar Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Advance to the sum of (A) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period for such Advance plus (B) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more 

41
Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

than three months, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such Interest Period and on the date such Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.
(b)    Default Interest.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), the Administrative Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, require that the Borrower pay interest (“Default Interest”) on (i) the unpaid overdue principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender Party, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 2.07(a), as applicable, and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Advance pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of Section 2.07(a), as applicable, and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid, in the case of interest, on the Type of Advance on which such interest has accrued pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of Section 2.07(a), as applicable, and, in all other cases, on Base Rate Advances pursuant to clause (i) of Section 2.07(a); provided, however, that following the acceleration of the Advances, or the giving of notice by the Administrative Agent to accelerate the Advances, pursuant to Section 6.01, Default Interest shall accrue and be payable hereunder whether or not previously required by the Administrative Agent.
(c)    Notice of Interest Period and Interest Rate.  Promptly after receipt of a Committed Loan Notice pursuant to Section 2.02(a) or a notice of selection of an Interest Period pursuant to the terms of the definition of “Interest Period”, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and each Appropriate Lender of the applicable Interest Period and the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above.
(d)    Successor LIBOR.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that the Borrower or the Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:
(i)    adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or  
(ii)    the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or
(iii)    syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 2.07, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR;
then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes (as 

42
Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

defined below) and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment. Such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.
If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.  Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Advances or Interest Periods), and (y) the Eurodollar Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Advances (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Advances or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Advances (subject to clause (y) of the immediately preceding sentence) in the amount specified therein.
Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.
For purposes hereof, “LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate, any conforming changes to the definition of Base Rate, Interest Period, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters as may be appropriate, in the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, to reflect the adoption of such LIBOR Successor Rate and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for the administration of such LIBOR Successor Rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, determines is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement).
SECTION 2.08.      Fees.  (a)  Commitment Fee.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”), from the Effective Date in the case of each Lender and from the effective date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender until the Termination Date, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing March 31, 2019, and on the Termination Date, equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate times the actual daily Unused Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender; provided, however, that any Commitment Fee accrued with respect to any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such Commitment Fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; and provided further that no Commitment Fee shall accrue on any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.
(a)    Letter of Credit Fees, Etc.  (i)  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a commission, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing March 31, 2019, and on the earliest to occur of the full drawing, expiration, termination or cancellation of any Letter of Credit and on the Termination Date in respect of the Letter of Credit Facility, on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the actual daily aggregate Available Amount during such quarter of all Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time at the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar 

43
Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

Rate Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(f), the amount of commission payable by the Borrower under this clause (b)(i) shall be increased by 2% per annum on any overdue amounts; provided that additional commission payable pursuant to this sentence shall be without duplication of amounts payable pursuant to clause (i) of Section 2.07(b).  For purposes of computing the actual daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.05.
(i)    The Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, (A) a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum of the stated amount of each Letter of Credit issued by it, payable upon the issuance thereof, and, if applicable, payable quarterly in arrears thereafter and (B) such other commissions, issuance fees, transfer fees and other fees and charges in connection with the issuance or administration of each Letter of Credit as the Borrower and such Issuing Bank shall agree.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, (x) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (y) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended.
SECTION 2.10.      Increased Costs, Etc.  
(a)    Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall: 
(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 2.10(e)) or any Issuing Bank; 
(ii)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii)    impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Advances made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Advance (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance), or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

(b)    Capital Requirements.  If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Bank or any Applicable Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements (other than the circumstances referred to in clause (e) below) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Advances made by, or participations in Letters of Credit such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)    Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d)    Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’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 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(e)    Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.  The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to Eurocurrency Liabilities, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Advance equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Advance by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Advance, provided the Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender.  If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant interest payment date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.
SECTION 2.11.      Payments and Computations.  (a)  The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.15), not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. dollars to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account in same day funds, with payments being received by the Administrative Agent after such time being deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.  The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any other Obligation then payable hereunder and under the Notes to more than one Lender Party, to such Lender Parties for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective Obligations then payable to such Lender Parties and (ii) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of any Obligation then payable hereunder to one Lender Party, to such Lender Party for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Upon its 

45
Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(d), from and after the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender Party assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.
(a)    [Reserved].
(b)    All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of fees and Letter of Credit commissions shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or commissions are payable.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate, fee or commission hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c)    Subject to Section 2.04, whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or commitment or letter of credit fee or commission, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.
(d)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender Party hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender Party on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender Party.  If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender Party severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender Party together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender Party until the date such Lender Party repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(e)    Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Agents and the Lender Parties under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Agents and the Lender Parties in the following order of priority:
(i)    first, to the payment of all of the fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent (solely in its capacity as such) under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Administrative Agent on such date;
(ii)    second, to the payment of all of the fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Issuing Banks (solely in their respective capacities as such) under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Issuing Banks on such date;

46
Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

(iii)    third, to the payment of all of the indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Lenders under Section 9.04 hereof and any similar section of any of the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Lenders on such date;
(iv)    fourth, to the payment of all of the amounts that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Sections 2.10 and 2.12 hereof on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts thereof owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;
(v)    fifth, to the payment of all of the fees that are due and payable to the Lenders under Section 2.08(a) and (b) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate Commitments of the Lenders under the Facilities on such date;
(vi)    sixth, to the payment of all of the accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations of the Borrower under or in respect of the Loan Documents that is due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Section 2.07(b) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such interest owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;
(vii)    seventh, to the payment of all of the accrued and unpaid interest on the Advances that is due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Section 2.07(a) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such interest owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;
(viii)    eighth, to the payment of the principal amount of all of the outstanding Advances that is due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such principal owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date; and
(ix)    ninth, to the payment of all other Obligations of the Loan Parties (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary under Cash Management Agreements or Hedge Agreements, to the extent such agreements are entered into by and between the Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries and any Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as applicable) owing under or in respect of the Loan Documents that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties on such date.
If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the Advances or the Facility to which, or the manner in which, such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lender Parties in accordance with such Lender Party’s Pro Rata Share thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in no circumstances shall any payment received from, or proceeds from any assets of, any Loan Party which is not a Qualified ECP Guarantor be applied towards the payment of any Obligations under a Hedge Agreement constituting a Loan Document.
SECTION 2.12.      Taxes.  (a)  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under the Notes or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law; provided that if any Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions 

47
Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(a)    In addition, a Loan Party shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b)    Each Loan Party shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes payable or paid by the Recipient, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Loan Party hereunder or under the Notes or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to a Loan Party by a Lender Party or the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(c)    As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent.

In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.12(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,
(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 
(B)    any Foreign Lender Party shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender Party becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(4)    to the extent a Foreign Lender Party is not the beneficial owner, executed  copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender Party is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender Party are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender Party may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C)    any Foreign Lender Party shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender Party becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(iii)    Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.12(e) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(e)    If the Administrative Agent or a Lender Party determines, in its sole discretion, that it has finally and irrevocably received a refund or credit of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.12 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.12), it shall pay to the applicable Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes imposed on such refund) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, shall repay to the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party be required to pay any amount to a Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person. 
(f)    The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, on or prior to the Closing Date (or, in the case of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.06, promptly upon becoming Administrative Agent), a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8IMY (indicating “Qualified Intermediary” or U.S. branch status) or IRS Form W-9, as applicable, in each case, with the effect that Borrower may make payments to the Administrative Agent, to the extent such payments are received by the Administrative Agent as an intermediary, without deduction or withholding of any Taxes imposed by the United States.
SECTION 2.13.      Sharing of Payments, Etc.  If any Lender Party shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set‐off, or otherwise (a) on account of Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party hereunder and under the Notes and the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party hereunder and under the Notes and the other Loan Documents at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes and the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time obtained by all the Lender Parties at such time or (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender Party hereunder and under the Notes and the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender Party hereunder and under the Notes and the other Loan Documents at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes and the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time obtained by all of the Lender Parties at such time, such Lender Party shall forthwith purchase from the other Lender Parties such interests or participating interests in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender Party to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender Party, such purchase from each other Lender Party shall be rescinded and such other Lender Party shall repay to the purchasing Lender Party the purchase price to the extent 

50
Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

of such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Lender Party to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lender Parties) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender Party’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender Party in respect of the total amount so recovered; provided further that, (A) so long as the Obligations under the Loan Documents shall not have been accelerated, any excess payment received by any Appropriate Lender shall be shared on a pro rata basis only with other Appropriate Lenders and (B) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (ii) the application of Cash Collateral, or (iii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances or subparticipations in L/C Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof.  The Borrower agrees that any Lender Party so purchasing an interest or participating interest from another Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.13 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such interest or participating interest, as the case may be, as fully as if such Lender Party were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such interest or participating interest, as the case may be.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.13 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Borrower may extend the final maturity of Advances and/or Revolving Credit Commitments in connection with an Extension that is permitted under Section 2.20 without being obligated to effect such extensions on a pro rata basis among the Lenders (it being understood that no such extension shall constitute a payment or prepayment of any Advances, for purposes of this Section 2.13) without giving rise to any violation of this Section 2.13 or any other provision of this Agreement.  Furthermore, the Borrower may take all actions contemplated by Section 2.20 in connection with any Extension (including modifying pricing and repayments or prepayments), and in each case such actions shall be permitted, and the differing payments contemplated therein shall be permitted without giving rise to any violation of this Section 2.13 or any other provision of this Agreement.
SECTION 2.14.      Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Advances and issuances of Letters of Credit are made available (and the Borrower shall use such proceeds and Letters of Credit) (i) to consummate the Refinancing (including the repayment of the advances and other amounts outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement), (ii) to pay related transaction fees and expenses and (iii) to provide working capital for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for general corporate purposes (including acquisitions and repurchases of the Borrower’s Equity Interests). 
SECTION 2.15.      Defaulting Lenders.  (a)  Defaulting Lender Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
(i)    Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.
(ii)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 6.02 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.05 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.15(d); fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting 

51
Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.15(d); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Banks against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances or Unreimbursed Amounts in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Advances were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of, and Unreimbursed Amounts owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of, or Unreimbursed Amounts owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Advances and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)    Certain Fees. 
(A)    No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee  for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
(B)    Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees pursuant to Section 2.08(b)(i) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.15(d).
(C)    With respect to any Commitment Fee or fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(iv)    Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment.  Subject to Section 9.23, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim 

52
Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(v)    Cash Collateral.  If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.15(d).
(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility (without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c)    New Letters of Credit.  So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
(d)    Cash Collateral.  (i)  At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within three Business Days following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender).
(i)    The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (iii) below.  If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any prior or pari passu right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks as herein provided (other than any Permitted Lien), or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than 103% of the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(ii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.15(d) in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(iii)    Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.15(d) and shall be promptly released following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the 

53
Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the good faith determination by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to this Section 2.15(d), the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Banks may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.
SECTION 2.16.      Evidence of Debt.  (a)  The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender Party to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is required or appropriate in order for such Lender Party to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender Party, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender Party, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a Note, in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, respectively, payable to the order of such Lender Party in a principal amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender Party.
(a)    The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender Party, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender Party hereunder, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender Party’s share thereof.
(b)    Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender Party in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender Party and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender Party, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.
SECTION 2.17.      Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.  (a)  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.12, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(a)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.07), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.12) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Banks), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances 

54
Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.12, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments.  A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
SECTION 2.18.      Incremental Advances. 
(a)    The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request (i) that additional Revolving Credit Commitments (the “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments”) be made available to the Borrower and/or (ii) the establishment of one or more term loan commitments (the “Incremental Term Commitments” and, together with the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, the “Incremental Commitments”) providing for term loan facilities consisting of one or more tranches (any such tranche of term loan facilities, an “Incremental Term Facility”); provided that, immediately prior to, and after giving effect to the incurrence of such Incremental Commitments, the Borrower shall be in compliance with the covenant set forth in Section 5.04 as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter, on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to any such Incremental Commitments (and, without duplication, assuming that any Incremental Commitments have been fully utilized). Each Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment or Incremental Term Commitment, as applicable, shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $25,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Commitments shall not exceed $200,000,000. The Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments shall form part of a single Class of Commitments, and shall be subject to identical terms and conditions as those applicable to, the Revolving Credit Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement and each other Loan Document.
(b)    Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Commitments, as applicable. Incremental Commitments may be made or provided by any existing Lender (and each existing Revolving Credit Lender will have the right, but not an obligation, to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, in each case on terms permitted in this Section 2.18) or any other Eligible Assignee. Incremental Commitments shall become Commitments under this Agreement and all Incremental Commitments shall be effected pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by each Loan Party, each Lender and such other Eligible Assignee agreeing to provide such Incremental Commitments, the Administrative Agent and, to the extent constituting Incremental Revolving Commitments, the Issuing Banks. An Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.18, which may include the addition of Incremental Term Commitments and the inclusion of any Incremental Term Facility in calculations of amounts outstanding under this Agreement and in the provisions relating to prepayments set forth in Section 2.06 and to amendments and waivers set forth in Section 9.01.  The effectiveness of (and any borrowing under) any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Effective Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 (it being understood that all references to “the date of such Borrowing” or similar language in such Section 3.02 shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of such Incremental Amendment) and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree.  Upon the effectiveness of any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.18, (A) the Pro Rata Share of each Revolving Credit Lender shall be automatically adjusted to give effect to such increase, provided that the amount of each Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments (other than a 

55
Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

Revolving Credit Lender whose Revolving Credit Commitments shall have been increased in connection with such increase) shall remain unchanged and (B) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will use all commercially reasonable efforts to assign and assume outstanding Revolving Credit Advances of the affected category to conform the respective amounts thereof held by each Revolving Credit Lender to the Pro Rata Shares as so adjusted, it being understood that the parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid prepayment or assignment of any affected Revolving Credit Advance that is a Eurodollar Rate Advance on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.  
(c)    On any Incremental Facility Effective Date on which Incremental Term Commitments are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions and any conditions set forth in the Incremental Amendment, each Lender of such Incremental Term Commitment shall make a term loan advance (an “Incremental Term Advance”) to the Borrower in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Commitment.
(d)    The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Commitments for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.  
(e)    This Section 2.18 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.06, 2.13 or 9.01 to the contrary.
SECTION 2.19.      Refinancing Amendments.  At any time after the Effective Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any other Eligible Assignee, Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt in the form of Other Advances or Other Commitments in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment.  Any Other Advances may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments hereunder, as specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment.  The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 3.02, together with customary legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements generally consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date under Section 3.02.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment.  Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Debt incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Advances and Commitments subject thereto as Other Advances and/or Other Commitments).  Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.19.  This Section 2.19 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.06, 2.13 or 9.01 to the contrary.
SECTION 2.20.      Extensions of Advances and Commitments.  
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, subject to the terms of this Section 2.20, the Borrower may from time to time extend the maturity date, and otherwise modify the terms of any Class, or any portion thereof (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of any Advances and/or Commitments applicable to such Class, or any portion thereof (and related outstandings) of any such Class) (each, an “Extension”) pursuant to one or more written offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders under any Class that is proposed to be extended under this Section 2.20, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective outstanding Advances and unfunded Commitments of such Class) and on the same terms to each such Lender.  In connection with each Extension, the Borrower will provide notification to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders of the applicable Class), no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Termination Date of the applicable Class or Classes to be extended of the requested new Termination Date for such Extension and the due date for Lender responses.  In connection with any Extension, each Lender of the applicable Class 

56
Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

wishing to participate in such Extension shall, prior to such due date, provide the Administrative Agent with a written notice thereof in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  Any Lender that does not respond to an Extension Offer by the applicable due date shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension.  After giving effect to any Extension (x) with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, the Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, so extended shall cease to be a part of the Class they were a part of immediately prior to the Extension and shall be a new Class hereunder and (y) with respect to any other Class, the Commitments and Advances that are not subject to such Extension (the “Non-Extended Commitments and Advances”) and the Commitments and Advances that are subject to such Extension (the “Extended Commitments and Advances”) shall cease to be part of the Class they were a part of immediately prior to the Extension and shall be a new Class hereunder. 
(b)    Each Extension shall be subject to the following: 
(i)    no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time any offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders;
(ii)    (1) in the case of an Extension with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments, except as to utilization fees, unused fees and final maturity, the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Revolving Credit Lender extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Credit Commitment”, which term shall include, without limitation, any Extended Revolving Credit Commitment (or portion thereof) that is further extended pursuant to an Extension under this Section 2.20), and the related outstandings, shall be a Revolving Credit Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Revolving Credit Commitments and any prior Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings); provided that (A) subject to the provisions of the definition of “Issuing Bank” to the extent dealing with Letters of Credit which mature or expire after an applicable Termination Date when there exist Extended Revolving Credit Commitments with a longer applicable Termination Date, all Letters of Credit shall be participated in on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares and all borrowings under Revolving Credit Commitments and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (x) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) and (y) repayments required upon any applicable Termination Date of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments) and (B) at no time shall there more than two (2) different Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments and (2) in the case of an Extension with respect to any other Class, except as to utilization fees, unused fees, amortization and final maturity and any other terms and conditions applicable only after the final maturity of the Non-Extended Commitments and Advances of the applicable Class, the Extended Commitments and Advances of the applicable Class shall have the same terms as the Non-Extended Commitments and Advances of such Class;
(iii)    if the aggregate principal amount of Commitments or Advances of a particular Class, in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Commitments or Advances of such Class offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Commitments or Advances of such Class of such Lenders shall be extended ratably (based upon the respective Class) up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer;
(iv)    all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing; 
(v)    any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied; and 
(vi)    no Extension shall become effective unless, on the proposed effective date of such Extension, the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 shall be satisfied (with all references in such Section to the making of an Advance being deemed to be references to the Extension on the applicable date of such Extension) 

57
Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated the applicable date of such Extension and executed by an officer of the Borrower.
(c)    With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.20, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Sections 2.05, 2.06, 2.13 or 9.05, (ii) each Extension Offer may contain a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s discretion) in the case of any Extension Offer of Commitments or Advances (as applicable) of any or all applicable Classes be tendered and (iii) if the Extension relates to the Revolving Credit Facility and the amount extended is less than the Letter of Credit Facility, unless the applicable Issuing Banks agree otherwise as part of such Extension, such Letter of Credit Facility shall be reduced upon the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Termination Date of the Class being extended (to the extent needed so that such Letter of Credit Facility does not exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment which would be in effect after such applicable Termination Date), and, if after giving effect to such Extension the aggregate Available Amount of Letters of Credit exceeds the Letter of Credit Facility, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any issued Letters of Credit to the extent of such excess.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Extensions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.20 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest or fees in respect of any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended Commitments and Advances on the terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.06, 2.08 or 2.13) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.20.
(a)    The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary in order establish new Classes or sub-Classes in respect of Commitments or Advances so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary in connection with the establishment of such new Classes or sub-Classes, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.20.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to seek the advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders with respect to any matter contemplated by this Section 2.20 and, if the Administrative Agent seeks such advice or concurrence, the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to enter into such amendments with the Borrower in accordance with any instructions actually received by such Required Lenders and shall also be entitled to refrain from entering into such amendments with the Borrower unless and until it shall have received such advice or concurrence; provided, however, that whether or not there has been a request by the Administrative Agent for any such advice or concurrence, all such amendments entered into with the Borrower by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be binding and conclusive on the Lenders.
(b)    In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.20.

then, and in any such event, the Administrative Agent (i) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Commitments of each Lender Party and the obligation of each Lender Party to make Advances (other than Letter of Credit Advances by an Issuing Bank or a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(d)) and of an Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, and (ii) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, (A) by notice to the Borrower, declare the Notes, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Notes, all such interest and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, (B) by notice to each party required under the terms of any agreement in support of which a Letter of Credit is issued, request that all Obligations under such agreement be declared to be due and payable; provided, however, that in the event of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (x) the Commitments of each Lender Party and the obligation of each Lender Party to make Advances (other than Letter of Credit Advances by an Issuing Bank or a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(d)) and of an Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit shall automatically be terminated and (y) the Notes, all such interest and all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.
SECTION 6.02.      Actions in Respect of the Letters of Credit upon Default.  If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may, or shall at the request of the Required Lenders, irrespective of whether it is taking any of the actions described in Section 6.01 or otherwise, make demand upon the Borrower to, and forthwith upon such demand the Borrower will, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender Parties in same day funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office, for deposit in the L/C Collateral Account, an amount equal to the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding; provided, however, that in the event of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender Parties in same day funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office, for deposit in the L/C Collateral Account, an amount equal to the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.  If at any time the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held in the L/C Collateral Account are subject to any prior or pari passu right or claim of any Person other than the Agents and the Lender Parties or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit, the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the L/C Collateral Account, an amount equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate Available Amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in the L/C Collateral Account that the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, determines in good faith 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 in the L/C Collateral Account, such funds shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Banks or Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

ARTICLE VII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
SECTION 7.01.      Appointment and Authority.  Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and, except as expressly provided in Section 7.06, neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any 

79
Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

of such provisions.  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
SECTION 7.02.      Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
SECTION 7.03.      Exculpatory Provisions.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(a)    shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b)    shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Bankruptcy Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Bankruptcy Law; and
(c)    shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.01 and 6.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or 

80
Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

(v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 7.04.      Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or an Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or an Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Advance or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
SECTION 7.05.      Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Affiliates of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
SECTION 7.06.      Resignation of Administrative Agent.  
(a)    The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender.  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b)    If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

81
Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

(c)    With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Bank directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 2.12 and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section) .  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Indemnified Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent. 
(d)    Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Bank, so long as, effective upon such resignation, at least one Issuing Bank remains in such capacity and/or a successor Issuing Bank is appointed in accordance with this clause (d) and the aggregate Letter of Credit Facility is not less than that in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of such resignation.  If Bank of America resigns as an Issuing Bank, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an Issuing Bank and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Advances or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(d).  Upon the appointment by the Borrower of a successor an Issuing Bank hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank (b) the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.
SECTION 7.07.      Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender and Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender and Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
SECTION 7.08.      No Other Duties, Etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Lead Arrangers or Co-Syndication Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, 

82
Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder.
SECTION 7.09.      Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Advance or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Advances, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.08 and 9.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.08 and 9.04.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or any Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations under the Loan Documents or the rights of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or any Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Loan Party to any Lender Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Loan Party.
(a)    Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Administrative Agent and each other Lender Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder.  To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent, the other Lender Parties and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

SECTION 8.02.      Guaranty Absolute.  Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Lender Party with respect thereto.  The Obligations of each Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or whether the Borrower or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions.  The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:
(a)    any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(b)    any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;
(c)    any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(e)    any failure of any Lender Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to such Lender Party (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Lender Parties to disclose such information);
(f)    the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Guaranty, any Guaranty Supplement or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or
(g)    any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Lender Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety.
This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Lender Party or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
SECTION 8.03.      Waivers and Acknowledgments.  (a)  Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that any Lender Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person.

(c)    Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any Lender Party to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such Lender Party.
(d)    Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 8.02 and this Section 8.03 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
SECTION 8.04.      Subrogation.  Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s Obligations under or in respect of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, including, without 

86

limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Lender Party against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash (other than contingent Obligations in respect of indemnities for which a claim has not been made), and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been terminated or Cash Collateralized and the Commitments shall have expired or been terminated.  If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Lender Parties, shall be segregated from other property and funds of such Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising.  If (i) any Guarantor shall make payment to any Lender Party of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty (other than contingent Obligations in respect of indemnities for which a claim has not been made) shall have been paid in full in cash, (iii) the Termination Date shall have occurred and (iv) all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been terminated or Cash Collateralized, the Lender Parties will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment made by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty.

Each party hereto also agrees not to assert any claim against any other party hereto or any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Facilities, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances or the Letters of Credit, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; provided that nothing in this sentence shall limit the Borrower’s indemnity and reimbursement obligations under this Section 9.04 to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in any third-party claim in connection with any Indemnified Party that is entitled to indemnification or reimbursement hereunder.
(b)    If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurodollar Rate Advance is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender Party other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.06, acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason, or if the Borrower fails to make any payment or prepayment of an Advance for which a notice of prepayment has been given or that is otherwise required to be made, whether pursuant to Section 2.04, 2.06 or 6.01 or otherwise, the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender Party setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party any amounts required to compensate such Lender Party for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion or such failure to pay or prepay, as the case may be, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender Party to fund or maintain such Advance.
(c)    If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, in its sole discretion.

SECTION 9.05.      Right of Set-off.  Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Notes due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and otherwise apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Agent, such Lender Party or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the Obligations of the Borrower then due under the Loan Documents.  The Administrative Agent and each Lender Party agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set‐off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set‐off and application.  The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set‐off) that such Agent, such Lender Party and their respective Affiliates may have.
SECTION 9.06.      Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender Party (or otherwise received evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) that such Lender Party has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lender Parties.
SECTION 9.07.      Assignments and Participations.  (a)  Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any or all Classes, (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or an Approved Fund of any Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Commitments being assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $10,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default under Section 6.01(a) or (f) shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of effectiveness of such assignment, the Borrower) under each Facility for which a Commitment is being assigned, (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee and (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (unless waived by the Administration Agent in its sole discretion); provided that, only one such fee shall be payable in respect of simultaneous assignments by any Lender to its Affiliates.
(a)    Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, as the case may be, hereunder and (ii) the Lender or an Issuing Bank assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under Sections 2.10, 2.12 and 9.04 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering 

91
Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s or an Issuing Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall cease to be a party hereto).
(b)    By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Lender Party assignor thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties thereto and hereto as follows:  (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the latest financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 3.01 or 5.03 (as applicable) and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative, such assigning Lender Party or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender or an Issuing Bank, as the case may be.
(c)    The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose (but only for this purpose) as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lender Parties and the Commitment under each Facility of, and principal amount of and stated interest on the Advances owing under each Facility to, each Lender Party from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lender Parties shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender Party hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)    Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender Party and an assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and each other Agent.  In the case of any assignment by a Lender, promptly after its receipt of a notice in accordance with Section 2.16(a), the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes a new Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it under each Facility pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if any assigning Lender has retained a Commitment hereunder under such Facility and delivered a separate notice to the Borrower in accordance  with Section 2.16(a), a new Note to the order of such assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder.  Such new Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, as the case may be.  

92
Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

(e)    Each Issuing Bank may, with the prior written consent of both the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, assign to an Eligible Assignee all of its rights and obligations under the undrawn portion of its Letter of Credit Commitment at any time; provided, however, that each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee and the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (unless waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); provided that, only one such fee shall be payable in respect of simultaneous assignments by any Lender to its Affiliates.
(f)    Each Lender Party may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates, any natural Person, any Defaulting Lender or any Excluded Persons) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes (if any) held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender Party’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitments) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender Party shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender Party shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lender Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender Party in connection with such Lender Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or release all or substantially all of the value of the Guaranty except in connection with transactions otherwise permitted hereunder. 
(g)    Any Lender Party may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender Party by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided, however, that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information received by it from such Lender Party in a manner consistent with Section 9.10. The Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.12 and 9.04(c) (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.12(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.12(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender Party)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender Party and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.17 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.10 or 2.12, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender Party would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation.
(h)    Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender Party may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it), including without limitation, in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A.
(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such fund as security for such obligations or securities, provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 9.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender 

93
Kansas City Southern Credit Agreement

from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.
(j)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender Party (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Advance that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Advance, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Advance, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Advance pursuant to the terms hereof.  The making of an Advance by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Advance were made by such Granting Lender.  Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender Party would be liable, (ii) no SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 and 2.12 (or any other increased costs protection provision) and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including, without limitation, the approval of any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the Lender Party of record hereunder.  In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior Debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $500, assign all or any portion of its interest in any Advance to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Advances to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.  This subsection (k) may not be amended without the prior written consent of each Granting Lender, all or any part of whose Advances are being funded by the SPC at the time of such amendment.
(k)    Each Lender Party, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, that grants a participation other rights to an SPC shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant or SPC and the principal and interest amount of each participant’s interest or SPC’s interest in the Facility held by it (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, advances, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Advance, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
SECTION 9.08.      Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery by electronic communication of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.09.      No Liability of the Issuing Banks.  The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit.  Neither any of the Issuing Banks nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for:  (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by an Issuing Bank against presentation of documents that do not strictly comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the Borrower shall have a claim against an Issuing Bank, and an Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower that were caused by (i) an Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit or (ii) an Issuing Bank’s willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and certificates strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, an Issuing Bank 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.
SECTION 9.10.      Confidentiality.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender Party shall disclose any Confidential Information to any Person without the consent of the Borrower, other than (a) to such Agent’s or such Lender Party’s Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and auditors, in each case, on a need-to-know basis, and to actual or prospective Eligible Assignees and participants (excluding Excluded Persons), and in each case, then only to the extent that each such person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.10, (b) as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process (in which case the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party (as applicable) agrees to inform the Borrower thereof prior to such disclosure to the extent practicable and not prohibited by law, rule or regulation), (c) as requested or required by any state, Federal or foreign authority or examiner (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or quasi-regulatory authority) regulating such Lender Party (in which case such Lender Party agrees to inform the Borrower promptly thereof prior to such disclosure to the extent practicable and not prohibited by law, rule or regulation and except with respect to any audit or examination covered by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority), (d) to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information received by it from such Lender Party, provided, further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.10, any such disclosure pursuant to this subsection (d) shall require the consent of the Borrower, (e) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (f) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.10).
SECTION 9.11.      Release of Guarantees.  In the event that any Loan Party sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of all of the Equity Interests of any such Loan Party in a transaction not prohibited by this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (and the Lender Parties hereby authorize and instruct the Administrative Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower to terminate such Subsidiary’s Obligations under the Guaranty and each other Loan Document.  In addition, the Administrative Agent will take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Borrower to terminate the Guaranty still in effect created by the Loan Documents when all the Obligations (other than contingent Obligations in respect of indemnities for which a claim has not been made) have been paid in full and all Letters of Credit and Commitments have been terminated or Cash Collateralized.  The Borrower agrees to pay all

SECTION 9.12.      Non-Consenting Lenders.  If, at any time, any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole cost and expense, on prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 9.07 all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person; provided further that such Non-Consenting Lender shall be entitled to receive the full outstanding principal amount of Advances so assigned, together with accrued interest and fees payable in respect of such Advances as of the date of such assignment.
SECTION 9.13.      Patriot Act Notice; Beneficial Ownership Regulation.  Each Lender to whom the Patriot Act applies and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation (if applicable), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or such Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation (if applicable).  The Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, provide such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in order to assist the Agents and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation (if applicable).
SECTION 9.14.      Jurisdiction, Service of Process, Etc..  (a)  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party or the Transactions relating hereto or thereto, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York county and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  
(a)    Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party in any New York State or Federal court.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(b)    Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.02.  Nothing in this agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.
SECTION 9.15.      Governing Law.  This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
SECTION 9.16.      WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH OF THE LOAN PARTIES, THE AGENTS AND THE LENDER PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN
