 EXHIBIT 10.1 

RATE APPLICABLE TO 

PARTICIPATING DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS UNDER THE 

DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVES DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN 

Effective for the 2017 plan year, the Board of Directors and its Compensation Committee have approved an applicable interest rate for the Directors and
Executives Deferred Compensation Plan of 9.28%. That rate is a decrease from the 10.16% rate in effect for 2016, and applies prospectively to certain participants, including all participants who presently are directors or officers of the registrant.
Rates are subject to annual approval by the Board, but generally remain in effect until changed. The new interest rate, within the context of the entire Plan, has been established at a level intended to provide both retention and long-term
non-compete incentives. When a participant retires after 2010 due to mandatory retirement, the participant’s interest rate during retirement will be the highest rate in place over the past three years—that is, the highest of the rates
applicable during the year of retirement and the previous two years.ex10-1.htm

The Lender will take such actions reasonably requested by the Borrower, at the expense of the Borrower, if such actions will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of the Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to it or inconsistent with its internal policies and procedures.

Funds in the Blocked Account identified by the Lender as funds not to be swept to the Lender Concentration Account, shall be transferred by the Account Bank to such account as the Borrower shall designate, provided that funds deposited by Borrower pursuant to Section 4.02(c) shall be available for withdrawal by the Account Bank.

(iv)     Borrower and the Lender shall have received evidence that the Licensee has been instructed to remit all future payments to the new account held at the successor Account Bank.

 

(f)     Borrower shall make prepayments made in accordance with Section 3.02 by wire transfer or by an Automated Clearing House transfer to the Lender Concentration Account.

 

(g)     In the event at any time following the execution of the Blocked Account Control Agreement by all parties thereto, the Licensee remits any payments directly to Borrower or otherwise except to the Blocked Account, Borrower shall immediately (i) remit any such payments to the Blocked Account (or, if for some reason such account is no longer in effect or payment cannot be made into such account, Borrower shall remit such payments by wire transfer or by an Automated Clearing House transfer of immediately available funds directly to the Lender Concentration Account), (ii) immediately instruct the Licensee in writing to remit any future payments to the Blocked Account and (iii) promptly provide to Lender a copy of such notice.

For the avoidance of doubt, Fixed Interest that is not paid in cash on the date due but that is added to the principal amount of the Loan as Accreted Principal in accordance with Section 4.01(c) shall accrue Fixed Interest from the date at which it is incorporated as Accreted Principal and shall thereafter accrue interest at the Default Rate in the event that the principal amount of the Loan generally bears interest at the Default Rate.

If Borrower or any other applicable withholding agent shall be required by applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable to a Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (i) the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions have been made by the applicable withholding agent (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.01(a)), the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

 

 

-28-

In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

 

(c)     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Lender is a Foreign Lender, then such Lender shall provide to Borrower (i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” (x) two accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN (or a successor form) properly completed and duly executed by such Foreign Lender and (y) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, (ii) if the payments receivable by the Foreign Lender are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, two accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS applicable Form W-8 (or a successor form), (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender that is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party that reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest, two accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN (or a successor form) indicating that such Foreign Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Notes with reduced or no deduction of any United States federal income withholding tax or (iv) in the case of a Foreign Lender acting as an intermediary, two accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or a successor form), accompanied by original signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN and/or other statement or certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable. Such forms shall be delivered by such Foreign Lender on or prior to the date that it becomes a Lender under this Agreement, at any time thereafter when a change in the Foreign Lender’s circumstances renders an existing form obsolete or invalid or requires a new form to be provided, and within fifteen Business Days after a reasonable written request of Borrower from time to time thereafter.

(b)     The Initial Tranche Disbursement Amount and Subsequent Tranche Disbursement Amount, if any, shall be treated as original issue discount with respect to the Initial Tranche Loan and Subsequent Tranche Loan, respectively, for U.S. federal income and applicable state and local income tax purposes.

 

(c)     This Agreement is not intended to create a deemed partnership, association or joint venture between or among Lender and/or Borrower or any Subsidiary. Each Party agrees not to refer to the other as a “partner” or the relationship as a “partnership” or “joint venture”.

Section 5.07     AHYDO Catchup Payment Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, commencing with the first “accrual period” (defined for purposes of the Code) following the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date and continuing with each subsequent accrual period thereafter, the Borrower shall pay in cash, on or before the end of such accrual period, an amount equal to the sum of any accrued and unpaid interest and the accrued and unpaid original issue discount, with respect to the Loan, if, but only to the extent that, the sum of the amount of the interest and the original issue discount, in each case that has accrued and not been paid in cash from the Closing Date, exceeds the product of (i) the “issue price” (as defined in Section 1273(b) and 1274(a) of the Code) of the Loan and (ii) the “yield to maturity” (interpreted in accordance with Section 163(i) of the Code) of the Loan (such payment, the “AHYDO Catch-Up Payment”). The amount of such payment shall be treated as an amount of interest to be paid (within the meaning of Section 163(i)(2)(B)(i) of the Code) under this Agreement. This provision is intended to prevent the obligations created pursuant to this Agreement from being classified as “applicable high yield discount obligations,” as defined in Section 163(i) of the Code, and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

Section 11.03     Assumption of Defense; Settlements. If the Lender is entitled to indemnification under this Article XI with respect to any action or proceeding brought by a third party that is also brought against Borrower, Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such action or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Lender. Upon assumption by Borrower of the defense of any such action or proceeding, Lender shall have the right to participate in such action or proceeding and to retain its own counsel but Borrower shall not be liable for any legal expenses of other counsel subsequently incurred by the Lender in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) Borrower has otherwise agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) Borrower shall have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Lender in a timely manner or (iii) the Lender shall have been advised by counsel that there are actual or potential conflicting interests between Borrower and the Lender, including situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to the Lender that are different from or additional to those available to Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for the Lender, except to the extent that local counsel, in addition to its regular counsel, is required in order to effectively defend against such action or proceeding. Borrower shall not consent to the terms of any compromise or settlement of any action defended by Borrower in accordance with the foregoing without the prior written consent of the Lender unless such compromise or settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of the Lender from all liability arising out of such action and (y) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the Lender. Borrower shall not be required to indemnify the Lender for any amount paid or payable by the Lender in the settlement of any action, proceeding or investigation without the written consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Subject to the foregoing, the Receiving Party, such Affiliates or such Representatives, as the case may be, may disclose that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party that is legally required to be disclosed; provided, however, that the Receiving Party, such Affiliates or such Representatives, as the case may be, shall exercise reasonable efforts (at their expense) to preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, including by obtaining reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded any such Confidential Information disclosed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, in the event that the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates receives a request from an authorized representative of a U.S. or foreign tax authority for a copy of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Receiving Party or such Affiliate, as the case may be, may provide a copy hereof or thereof to such tax authority representative without advance notice to, or the consent of, the Disclosing Party; provided, however, that the Receiving Party shall, to the extent legally permitted, provide the Disclosing Party with written notice of such disclosure as soon as practicable.

(d)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Receiving Party may disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, including this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the terms and conditions hereof and thereof, to the extent necessary in connection with the enforcement of its rights and remedies hereunder or thereunder or as required to perfect the Receiving Party’s rights hereunder or thereunder.

 

(e)     Neither Party shall, and each Party shall cause its Affiliates not to, without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), issue any press release or make any other public disclosure with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, except if and to the extent that any such release or disclosure is required by applicable Law, by the rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange or by any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction, in which case, the Party proposing (or whose Affiliate proposes) to issue such press release or make such public disclosure shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult in good faith with the other Party regarding the form and content thereof before issuing such press release or making such public announcement.

 

Except with respect to the Lender’s internal communications or private communications with its Representatives, the Lender shall not, and shall cause its Representatives, its Affiliates and its Affiliates’ Representatives not to make use of the name, nickname, trademark, logo, service mark, trade dress or other name, term, mark or symbol identifying or associated with Borrower without Borrower’s prior written consent to the specific use in question, provided that the consent of Borrower shall not be required with respect to publication of Borrower’s name and logos in the Lender’s promotional materials, including without limitation the websites for the Lender and its Affiliates consistent with its use of other similarly situated Third Parties’ names and logos.

 

(f)     Each of Borrower and Lender hereby (i) agree that, notwithstanding the terms thereof, the Confidentiality Agreement is hereby terminated and (ii) acknowledge that this Agreement shall supersede such Confidentiality Agreement with respect to the treatment of Confidential Information by the Parties (including, without limitation, with regard to Confidential Information previously provided pursuant to such Confidentiality Agreement).

After giving effect to such sale and assignment, the amount of the Loans owing to the Assignee will be as set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto. 

 

2. The Assignor (i) represents and warrants that it is the sole legal and beneficial owner of the entire Loan that is the subject of the assignment hereunder; (ii) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with the Loan Documents, 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 the Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrower or the performance or observance by Borrower of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; and (iv) requests that the Borrower record in the Register the assignment of such Note or Notes in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Loan assigned to the Assignee pursuant hereto, as specified on Schedule 1 attached hereto, and if requested by the Assignor, the Borrower shall issue to the Assignee a new Note or Notes representing the principal amount of the Loan assigned to the Assignee and return a new Note or Notes representing the principal amount of the Loan retained by the Assignor, if any, upon which issuances the Note or Notes attached hereto shall be cancelled.
