THE FACILITIES

 

Section 2.1            The Commitments

 

(a)           Revolving Credit Commitments.

 

47

 

(i)            During the period from the Closing Date until the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, each Revolving Credit Lender severally agreed to make revolving loans to the Company (the “Original Revolving Credit Facility”).  On the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, the Revolving Credit Commitments under the Original Revolving Credit Facility shall be voluntarily terminated pursuant to Amendment No. 3.

 

(ii)           On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make loans in Dollars (each a “Revolving Loan”) to the Company from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date until the Revolving Credit Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding for all such loans by such Revolving Credit Lender not to exceed such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that at no time shall any Revolving Credit Lender be obligated to make a Revolving Loan in excess of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Available Credit.  Within the limits of the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender and the Available Credit, amounts of Revolving Loans repaid may be reborrowed by the Borrower under this Section 2.1.

 

(b)           Term Loan Commitments.

 

(i)            On the Closing Date, the Term Lenders made Term Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement as of the Closing Date) (the “Original Term Loans”) to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of $650,000,000. On the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, the Original Term Loans of the Non-Extending Term Lenders (as defined in Amendment No. 3) and the Original Term Loans of the Extended Term Lenders not classified as Term B-2 Loans pursuant to Amendment No. 3 shall be “Term B-1 Loans” hereunder.  Amounts of Term B-1 Loans repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

 

(ii)           On the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, the Original Term Loans of the Extending Term Lenders (as defined in Amendment No. 3) classified as Term B-2 Loans pursuant to Amendment No. 3 shall be “Term B-2 Loans” hereunder. Amounts of Term B-2 Loans repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

 

(c)           Facility Increases.

 

(i)            The Company may from time to time after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, request (i) one or more increases in the Revolving Credit Commitments (each a “Revolving Commitment Increase”) or (ii) one or more increases in the Term B-2 Loan Facility or additional tranches of term loans (each a “Term Loan Increase”); provided, however, that (A) the aggregate principal amount of all Facility Increases shall not exceed $300,000,000 and (B) each Facility Increase shall be in an amount not less than $25,000,000 (or, in the case of additional term loans on terms different from the existing Term B-2 Loans, $50,000,000).  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to obligate the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Lender to negotiate, solicit, provide or commit to any Facility Increase.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of each proposed Facility Increase and of the proposed terms and conditions therefor agreed between the Company and the Administrative Agent.  Each such Lender (and each of their Affiliates and Approved Funds) may, in its sole discretion, commit to

 

48

 

participate in such Facility Increase by forwarding its commitment therefor to the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent, upon receipt of written commitments from Eligible Assignees in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, shall allocate, in its sole discretion, to each such Eligible Assignee commitments with respect to such Facility Increase not to exceed the amount of written commitments received from such Eligible Assignee.  Each Facility Increase shall become effective on a date agreed by the Company and the Administrative Agent (each a “Facility Increase Date”); provided, however, that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.4 (Conditions Precedent to Each Facility Increase) shall have been satisfied on or prior to each such Facility Increase Date.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders and the Company, on or before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the first Business Day following a Facility Increase Date of the effectiveness of a Facility Increase and shall record in the Register all applicable additional information in respect of such Facility Increase.

 

(ii)           (A) The loans and commitments extended pursuant to any Facility Increase shall rank pari passu in right of payment with all other Loans and Commitments, (B) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the additional Term Loans under any Term Loan Increase shall not be shorter than the remaining average life to maturity of the Term B-2 Loan Facility prior to giving effect to such Term Loan Increase and (C) the final maturity date of the additional Term Loans shall not be earlier than the Term B-2 Loan Maturity Date.

 

(iii)          From and after the Facility Increase Date for any Revolving Commitment Increase, (A) the commitments under such Revolving Commitment Increase shall be deemed for all purposes part of the Revolving Credit Commitments, (B) each Eligible Assignee participating in such Revolving Commitment Increase shall become a Revolving Credit Lender and (C) the commitments under each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall have the same terms and conditions as the Revolving Credit Commitments.  On the Facility Increase Date for any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, each Lender or Eligible Assignee participating in such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall purchase and assume from each existing Revolving Credit Lender having Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans outstanding on such Facility Increase Date, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the new Revolving Credit Commitments (after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase), in the aggregate outstanding Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans, so as to ensure that, on the Facility Increase Date after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, each Revolving Credit Lender is owed only its Ratable Portion of the Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans outstanding on such Facility Increase Date.

 

(d)           Extension of Term Loan Maturity Date.

49

 

Date being the “Existing Term B-2 Loan Maturity Date”) to a date specified in such notice; provided, however, that, in the case of the Term B-1 Term Loans, such date shall be no earlier than the Term B-2 Loan Maturity Date.  Within 10 Business Days of delivery of such notice (or such other period as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall mutually agree upon), each Term B-1 Lender or Term B-2 Lender, as applicable, shall notify the Administrative Agent whether it consents to such extension (which consent may be given or withheld in such Term B-1 Lender’s or Term B-2 Lender’s, as applicable, sole and absolute discretion).  Any Term B-1 Lender or Term B-2 Lender, as applicable, not responding within the above time period shall be deemed not to have consented to such extension.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Term B-1 Lenders or the Term B-2 Lenders of the Term B-1 Lenders’ or the Term B-2 Lenders’ responses, as applicable.

 

(ii)           (A) The Term B-1 Loan Maturity Date shall be extended only with respect to the Term B-1 Loans held by the Term B-1 Lenders that have consented thereto (calculated after giving effect to any replacements of Term B-1 Lenders pursuant to Section 2.17 (Substitution of Lenders)) (the Term B-1 Lenders that so consent being the “Consenting Term B-1 Lenders” and the Term B-1 Lenders that declined being the “Declining Term B-1 Lenders”) and (B) the Term B-2 Loan Maturity Date shall be extended only with respect to the Term B-2 Loans held by the Term B-2 Lenders that have consented thereto (calculated excluding any Defaulting Lender and after giving effect to any replacements of Term B-2 Lenders pursuant to Section 2.17 (Substitution of Lenders)) (the Term B-2 Lenders that so consent being the “Consenting Term B-2 Lenders” and the Term B-2 Lenders that declined being the “Declining Term B-2 Lenders”) (it being understood and agreed that, except for the consents of the Consenting Term Lenders, no other consents shall be required hereunder for the extensions referred in clauses (A) and (B) above).  If so extended, (I) the scheduled Term B-1 Loan Maturity Date with respect to the Term B-1 Loans held by the Consenting Term B-1 Lenders, shall be extended to the date specified in the notice referred to in Section 2.1(d)(i) above, which shall become the new Term B-1 Loan Maturity Date (such date, the “Extended Term B-1 Loan Maturity Date”) and (II) the scheduled Term B-2 Loan Maturity Date with respect to the Term B-2 Loans held by the Consenting Term Lenders, shall be extended to the date specified in the notice referred to in Section 2.1(d)(i) above, which shall become the new Term B-2 Loan Maturity Date (such date, the “Extended Term B-2 Loan Maturity Date”).  The Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall promptly confirm to (y) the Term B-1 Lenders such extension, specifying the effective date of such extension (the “Term B-1 Extension Effective Date”), the then scheduled Term B-1 Loan Maturity Date and the Extended Term B-1 Loan Maturity Date (after giving effect to such extension) and (z) the Term B-2 Lenders such extension, specifying the effective date of such extension (the “Term B-2 Extension Effective Date”), the then scheduled Term B-2 Loan Maturity Date and the Extended Term B-2 Loan Maturity Date (after giving effect to such extension).

As a condition precedent to such extension, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the Term B-1 Extension Effective Date or the Term B-2 Extension Effective Date, as applicable, signed by a

 

50

 

Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such extension and certifying that, before and after giving effect to such extension, the representations and warranties contained in Article IV  (Representations and Warranties) made by it are true and correct on and as of as of the Term B-1 Extension Effective Date or the Term B-2 Extension Effective Date, as applicable, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, and no Default or Event of Default exists or will exist as of as of the Term B-1 Extension Effective Date or the Term B-2 Extension Effective Date, as applicable, and (ii) if requested by the Administrative Agent, a legal opinion reasonably satisfactory to it; provided that the scope of any such opinion shall not be greater than that of the opinions delivered on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of (1) each Declining Term B-1 Lender the then unpaid principal amount of such Declining Term B-1 Lender’s Term Loans outstanding on then Existing Term B-1 Loan Maturity Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.14(e)) and (2) each Declining Term B-2 Lender the then unpaid principal amount of such Declining Term Lender’s Term B-2 Loans outstanding on then Existing Term B-2 Loan Maturity Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.14(e)).

Within 10 Business Days of delivery of such notice (or such other period as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall mutually agree upon), each Revolving Credit Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent whether it consents to such extension (which consent may be given or withheld in such Revolving Credit Lender’s sole and absolute discretion). Any Revolving Credit Lender not responding within the above time period shall be deemed not to have consented to such extension.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders of the Revolving Credit Lenders’ responses.

 

(ii)           The Scheduled Revolving Termination Date shall be extended only with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders that have consented thereto (calculated after excluding any Defaulting Lender and after giving effect to any replacements of Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to Section 2.17 (Substitution of Lenders)) (the Revolving Credit Lenders that so consent being the “Consenting Revolving Credit Lenders” and the Revolving Credit Lenders that declined being the “Declining Revolving Credit Lenders”) (it being understood and agreed that, except for the consents of the Consenting Revolving Credit Lenders no other consents shall be required hereunder for such extension).  If so extended, the Scheduled Revolving Termination Date with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Consenting Revolving Credit Lenders shall be extended to the date specified in the notice referred to in Section 2.1(e)(i) above, which shall become the new Scheduled Revolving Termination Date (such date, the “Extended Scheduled Revolving Termination Date”).  The Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall promptly confirm to the Revolving

 

51

 

Credit Lenders such extension, specifying the effective date of such extension (the “Revolving  Extension Effective Date”), the then Scheduled Revolving Termination Date and the Extended Scheduled Revolving Termination Date (after giving effect to such extension).  The interest margins with respect to any Revolving Credit Commitments extended pursuant to this Section 2.1(e) (Extension of Scheduled Revolving Termination Date) may be different than the interest margins for the existing Revolving Credit Commitments, and upfront fees may be paid to the Consenting Revolving Credit Lenders, in each case to the extent provided in the Borrower’s notice. As a condition precedent to such extension, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the Revolving Extension Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such extension and certifying that, before and after giving effect to such extension, the representations and warranties contained in Article IV (Representations and Warranties) made by it are true and correct on and as of the Revolving Extension Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, and no Default or Event of Default exists or will exist as of the Revolving Extension Effective Date and (ii) if requested by the Administrative Agent, a legal opinion reasonably satisfactory to it; provided that the scope of any such opinion shall not be greater than that of the opinions delivered on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Declining Revolving Credit Lender the then unpaid principal amount of such Declining Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Loans outstanding on then Existing Scheduled Revolving Termination Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.14(e)) and the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Declining Revolving Credit Lender shall terminate on then Existing Scheduled Revolving Termination Date.

 

Section 2.2            Borrowing Procedures

 

(a)           Borrowings.

 

(i)            Each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be made on notice given by the Company to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) (i) one Business Day, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (ii) three Business Days, in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing.  Each such notice shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit C (Form of Notice of Borrowing) (a “Notice of Borrowing”), specifying (A) the date of such proposed Borrowing, (B) the aggregate amount of such proposed Borrowing, (C) whether any portion of the proposed Borrowing will be of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans and (D) for each Eurodollar Rate Loan, the initial Interest Period or Periods thereof.  Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans unless, subject to Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans), the Notice of Borrowing specifies that all or a portion thereof shall be Eurodollar Rate Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.3(a) (Swing Loans), if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent may make a Swing Loan available to the Company in an aggregate amount not to exceed such proposed Borrowing, and the aggregate amount of the corresponding proposed Borrowing shall be reduced accordingly by the principal amount

 

52

 

of such Swing Loan.  Each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

 

(ii)           The Administrative Agent shall give to each Revolving Credit Lender prompt notice of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Notice of Borrowing with respect to Revolving Credit Borrowings and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are properly requested in such Notice of Borrowing, the applicable interest rate determined pursuant to Section 2.14(a) (Determination of Interest Rate).  Each Lender shall, before 11:00 am. (New York time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.), in immediately available funds, such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such proposed Borrowing.  Upon fulfillment (or due waiver in accordance with Section 11.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.)) (i) on the Closing Date, of the applicable conditions set forth Section 3.1 (Conditions Precedent to Initial Loans and Letters of Credit) and (ii) at any time (including the Closing Date), of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit), and after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds, the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the Company.

 

(b)           [Reserved].

 

(c)           Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any proposed Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Borrowing (or any portion thereof), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.2 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 to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.  If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such corresponding amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.  If the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have hereunder to the Borrower.

 

(d)           The occurrence of any Revolving Credit Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its obligations to make such Revolving Loan or payment on such date but no such other Revolving Credit Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Defaulting Lender to make a Loan or a payment required under this Agreement.

 

53

 

Section 2.3            Swing Loans

 

(a)           Swing Loans.  On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, the Swing Lender shall make loans in Dollars (each a “Swing Loan”) otherwise available to the Company under the Revolving Credit Facility from time to time on any Business Day during the period from Amendment No. 3 Effective Date until the Revolving Credit Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding (together with the aggregate outstanding principal amount of any other Loan made by the Swing Lender hereunder in its capacity as a Lender or the Swing Lender) not to exceed the Swing Loan Sublimit; provided, however, that at no time shall the Swing Lender make any Swing Loan to the extent that, after giving effect to such Swing Loan, the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments in effect at such time.  Each Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and must be repaid in full within seven days after its making or, if sooner, upon any Revolving Credit Borrowing hereunder and shall in any event mature no later than the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Within the limits set forth in the first sentence of this clause (a), amounts of Swing Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this clause (a).

 

(b)           [Reserved].

 

(c)           In order to request a Swing Loan, the Borrower shall telecopy (or forward by electronic mail or similar means) to the Administrative Agent a duly completed request in substantially the form of Exhibit D (Form of Swing Loan Request) (a “Swing Loan Request”), setting forth the requested amount and date of such Swing Loan, to be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day of the proposed borrowing.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Swing Lender of the details of the requested Swing Loan.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Swing Lender may make a Swing Loan available to the Administrative Agent and, in turn, the Administrative Agent shall make such amounts available to the Borrower on the date of the relevant Swing Loan Request.  The Swing Lender shall not make any Swing Loan in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) shall not on such date be satisfied, and ending when such conditions are satisfied. The Swing Lender shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) have been satisfied in connection with the making of any Swing Loan.

 

(d)           The Swing Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which writing may be a telecopy or electronic mail) weekly, by no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the first Business Day of each week, of the aggregate principal amount of its Swing Loans then outstanding.

 

(e)           The Swing Lender may demand at any time that each Revolving Credit Lender pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swing Lender, in the manner provided in clause (f) below, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of all or a portion of the applicable Swing Loans then outstanding, which demand shall be made through the Administrative Agent, shall be in writing and shall specify the outstanding principal amount of such Swing Loans demanded to be paid. Upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default), each Revolving Credit Lender shall immediately acquire, without recourse or warranty, an undivided participation in each Swing Loan, by

 

54

 

payment to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Swing Loan pursuant to clause (f) below.

 

(f)            The Administrative Agent shall forward each notice referred to in clause (d) above and each demand referred to in clause (e) above to each applicable Lender on the day such notice or such demand is received by the Administrative Agent (except that any such notice or demand received by the Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day or any such demand received on a day that is not a Business Day shall not be required to be forwarded to the applicable Lenders by the Administrative Agent until the next succeeding Business Day), together with a statement prepared by the Administrative Agent specifying the amount of each Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Loans stated to be outstanding in such notice or demanded to be paid pursuant to such demand, and, notwithstanding whether or not the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) and 2.1(a) (Revolving Credit Commitments) shall have been satisfied (which conditions precedent the Revolving Credit Lenders hereby irrevocably waive), each applicable Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day next succeeding the date of such Lender’s receipt of such notice or demand, make available to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, for the account of the Swing Lender, the amount specified in such statement.  Upon such payment by a Lender, such Lender shall, except as provided in clause (g) below, be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the Borrower.  The Administrative Agent shall use such funds to repay the Swing Loans to the Swing Lender. To the extent that any Lender fails to make such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Lender, the Borrower shall repay such Swing Loan on demand.

 

(g)           Upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default), each Revolving Credit Lender shall acquire, without recourse or warranty, an undivided participation in each Swing Loan otherwise required to be repaid by such Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to clause (f) above, which participation shall be in a principal amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Swing Loan, by paying to the Swing Lender on the date on which such Lender would otherwise have been required to make a payment in respect of such Swing Loan pursuant to clause (f) above, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Swing Loan.  If all or part of such amount is not in fact made available by any applicable Lender to the Swing Lender on such date, the Swing Lender shall be entitled to recover any such unpaid amount on demand from such Lender together with interest accrued from such date at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day after such payment was due and thereafter at the rate of interest then applicable to Base Rate Loans.

 

(h)           From and after the date on which any Revolving Credit Lender (i) is deemed to have made a Revolving Loan pursuant to clause (f) above with respect to any Swing Loan or (ii) purchases an undivided participation interest in a Swing Loan pursuant to clause (g) above, the Swing Lender shall promptly distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of all payments of principal of and interest received by the Swing Lender on account of such Swing Loan other than those received from a Lender pursuant to clause (f) or (g) above.

 

55

 

Section 2.4            Letters of Credit

 

(a)           On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Issuer agrees to Issue at the request of the Company and for the account of the Company (or for the joint and several account of the Company and a Subsidiary of the Company) one or more Letters of Credit from time to time on any Business Day during the period commencing on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date and ending on the earlier of the Revolving Credit Termination Date and (x) 30 days prior to the Scheduled Revolving Termination Date, in the case of a Documentary Letter of Credit and (y) 5 days prior to the Scheduled Revolving Termination Date, in the case of a Standby Letter of Credit; provided, however, that no Issuer shall be under any obligation to Issue (and, upon the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), and (vi)(A) below, shall not Issue) any Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any of the following:

 

(i)            any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuer from Issuing such Letter of Credit or any Requirement of Law applicable to such Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such Issuer refrain from, the Issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuer is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the Closing Date or result in any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable, in effect or known to such Issuer as of the Closing Date and that such Issuer in good faith deems material to such Issuer;

 

(ii)           such Issuer shall have received any written notice of the type described in clause (d) below;

 

(iii)          after giving effect to the Issuance of such Letter of Credit, the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments in effect at such time;

 

(iv)          after giving effect to the Issuance of such Letter of Credit, the sum of (i) the Dollar Equivalents of the Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts at such time and (ii) the Dollar Equivalents of the Reimbursement Obligations at such time exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit; provided, however, that no Issuer shall be required to Issue in its own name, Letters of Credit, denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency, for the account of the Company, in excess of its Issuer Sublimit;

 

(v)           (A)          such Letter of Credit is requested to be denominated in any Alternative Currency and the Issuer receives written notice from the Administrative Agent at or before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date of the proposed Issuance of such Letter of Credit that, immediately after giving effect to the Issuance of such Letter of Credit, all Letter of Credit Obligations at such time in respect of each Letter of Credit denominated in currencies other than Dollars would exceed $5,000,000 or (B) such Letter of Credit is requested to be denominated in any currency other than Dollars or an Alternative Currency; or

 

56

 

(vi)          (A)          any fees due in connection with a requested Issuance have not been paid, (B) such Letter of Credit is requested to be Issued in a form that is not acceptable to such Issuer or (C) the Issuer for such Letter of Credit shall not have received, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to it and, if applicable, duly executed by the Company, applications, agreements and other documentation (collectively, a “Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement”) such Issuer generally employs in the ordinary course of its business for the Issuance of letters of credit of the type of such Letter of Credit.

 

None of the Revolving Credit Lenders (other than the Issuers in their capacity as such) shall have any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit.

 

(b)           In no event shall the expiration date of any Letter of Credit (i) be more than one year after the date of issuance thereof or (ii) be less than five days prior to the Scheduled Revolving Termination Date; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit with a term less than or equal to one year may provide for the renewal thereof for additional periods less than or equal to one year, as long as, (x) on or before the expiration of each such term and each such period, the Company and the Issuer of such Letter of Credit shall have the option to prevent such renewal and (y) neither the Issuer of such Letter of Credit nor the Company shall permit any such renewal to extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the date set forth in clause (ii) above.

 

(c)           In connection with the Issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Company shall give the relevant Issuer and the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior written notice, in substantially the form of Exhibit E (Form of Letter of Credit Request) (or in such other written or electronic form as is acceptable to the Issuer), of the requested Issuance of such Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Request”).  Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the Issuer of such Letter of Credit, the currency of issuance and face amount of the Letter of Credit requested (whose Dollar Equivalent shall not be less than $500,000 (or such lesser amount as mutually agreed between the Company and the relevant Issuer)), the date of Issuance of such requested Letter of Credit, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which date shall be a Business Day) and, in the case of an issuance, the Person for whose benefit the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued.  Such notice, to be effective, must be received by the relevant Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the second Business Day prior to the requested Issuance of such Letter of Credit.

 

(d)           Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.4, the relevant Issuer shall, on the requested date, Issue a Letter of Credit on behalf of the Company in accordance with such Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.  No Issuer shall Issue any Letter of Credit in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from any Revolving Credit Lender that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) or clause (a) above (other than those conditions set forth in clauses (a)(i), (a)(vi)(B) and (C) above and, to the extent such clause relates to fees owing to the Issuer of such Letter of Credit and its Affiliates, clause (a)(vi)(A) above) are not on such date satisfied or duly waived and ending when such conditions are satisfied or duly waived.  No Issuer shall otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) have been satisfied in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit.

 

57

 

(e)           The Company agrees that, if requested by the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, it shall execute a Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement in respect to any Letter of Credit Issued hereunder.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

 

(f)            Each Issuer shall comply with the following:

 

(i)            give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing), which writing may be a telecopy or electronic mail, of the Issuance of any Letter of Credit Issued by it, of all drawings under any Letter of Credit Issued by it and of the payment (or the failure to pay when due) by the Company of any Reimbursement Obligation when due (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit by telecopy, electronic mail or similar transmission to each Revolving Credit Lender);

 

(ii)           upon the request of any Revolving Credit Lender, furnish to such Revolving Credit Lender copies of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement to which such Issuer is a party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Revolving Credit Lender; and

 

(iii)          no later than 10 Business Days following the last day of each calendar month, provide to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy to each Revolving Credit Lender requesting the same) and the Company separate schedules for Documentary Letters of Credit and Standby Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting forth the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations, in each case outstanding at the end of each month and any information requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent relating thereto.

 

(g)           Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuer of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments, in such Letter of Credit and the obligations of the Company with respect thereto (including all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto) and any security therefor and guaranty pertaining thereto.

 

(h)           The Company agrees to pay to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Issuer under any Letter of Credit issued for its account no later than the date that is the next succeeding Business Day after the Company receives written notice from such Issuer that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit (the “Reimbursement Date”), irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Company may have at any time against such Issuer or any other Person.  In the event that any Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Company shall not have repaid such amount to such Issuer pursuant to this clause (h) or any such payment by the Company is rescinded or set aside for any reason, such Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on demand with interest thereon computed (i) from the date on which such Reimbursement Obligation arose to the Reimbursement Date, at the rate of interest applicable during such period to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (ii) from the Reimbursement Date until the date

 

58

 

of repayment in full, at the rate of interest applicable during such period to past due Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and such Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of such failure, and each Revolving Credit Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of such payment (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof if such payment was made in any currency other than Dollars) in immediately available Dollars.  If the Administrative Agent so notifies such Revolving Credit Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, such Revolving Credit Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in immediately available funds.  Upon such payment by a Revolving Credit Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender shall, except during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default under Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default) and notwithstanding whether or not the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) shall have been satisfied (which conditions precedent the Revolving Credit Lenders hereby irrevocably waive), be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan, to the Company in the principal amount of such payment.  Whenever any Issuer receives from the Company a payment of a Reimbursement Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Issuer any payment from a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this clause (h), such Issuer shall pay over to the Administrative Agent any amount received in excess of such Reimbursement Obligation and, upon receipt of such amount, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay over to each Revolving Credit Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the respective amounts the Revolving Credit Lenders have paid in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation.

 

(i)                                     If and to the extent such Revolving Credit Lender shall not have so made its Ratable Portion of the amount of the payment required by clause (h) above available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer forthwith on demand any such unpaid amount together with interest thereon, for the first Business Day after payment was first due at the Federal Funds Rate and, thereafter, until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans.

 

(j)                                     The Company’s obligation to pay each Reimbursement Obligation and the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuers with respect to Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, and irrespective of any of the following:

 

(i)                                     any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;

 

(ii)                                  any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;

 

(iii)                               the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the

 

59

 

beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, any Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

 

(iv)                              any draft or other document presented under a 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;

 

(v)                                 payment by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

 

(vi)                              any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuer, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Company’s obligations hereunder.

 

Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not result in any liability of such Issuer to the Company or any Lender.  In determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof, the Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuer may rely exclusively on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever, and any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuer.

 

(k)                                  Schedule 2.4 (Existing Letters of Credit) contains a schedule of certain letters of credit issued under the Original Revolving Credit Facility prior to Amendment No. 3 Effective Date for the account of the Company.  On the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date (i) such letters of credit, to the extent outstanding, shall be automatically and without further action by the parties thereto be deemed not to be Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.4 for the account of the Company, (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of such letters of credit shall not be included in the calculation of Letter of Credit Obligations and (iii) all liabilities of the Company with respect to such letters of credit shall not constitute Obligations.

 

Section 2.5                                   Reduction and Termination of the Commitments

 

Upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, the Company may terminate in whole or reduce in part ratably the unused portions of the respective Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders; provided, however, that each

 

60

 

partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. In addition, all outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

 

Section 2.6                                   Repayment of Loans

 

(a)                                  The Borrower promises to repay the entire unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans and Swing Loans on the Scheduled Revolving Termination Date or earlier, if otherwise required by the terms hereof.

 

(b)                                 (i)                                     The Company promises to repay the Term B-1 Loans at the dates and in the amounts set forth below:

Section 2.7                                   Evidence of Debt

 

(a)                                  Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 (i)                                     The Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrower solely for this purpose and for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which the Administrative Agent agrees to register by book entry the Administrative Agent’s, each Lender’s and each Issuer’s interest in each Loan, each Letter of Credit and each Reimbursement Obligation, and in the right to receive any payments hereunder and any assignment of any such interest or rights.  In addition, the Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrower solely for this purpose and for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (i) the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Issuers, (ii) the Commitments of each Lender from time to time, (iii) the amount of each Loan made and, if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iv) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable, and paid, by the Borrower to, or for the account of, each Lender hereunder, (v) the amount that is due and payable, and paid, by the Company to, or for the account of, each Issuer, including the amount of Letter Credit Obligations (specifying the amount of any Reimbursement Obligations) due and payable to an Issuer, and (vi) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower,

 

62

 

whether such sum constitutes principal or interest (and the type of Loan to which it applies), fees, expenses or other amounts due under the Loan Documents and each Lender’s and Issuer’s, as the case may be, share thereof, if applicable.

 

(ii)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans (including the Notes evidencing such Loans) and the Reimbursement Obligations are registered obligations and the right, title, and interest of the Lenders and the Issuers and their assignees in and to such Loans or Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be, shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register. A Note shall only evidence the Lender’s or a registered assignee’s right, title and interest in and to the related Loan, and in no event is any such Note to be considered a bearer instrument or obligation.  This Section 2.7(b) and Section 11.2 shall be construed so that the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (or any successor provisions of the Code or such regulations).

 

(c)                                  The entries made in the Register and in the accounts therein maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans owing by it in accordance with their terms.  In addition, the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender or as an Issuer, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement. Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender or Issuer shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, in the event that any Lender requests that the Borrower execute and deliver a promissory note or notes payable to such Lender in order to evidence the Indebtedness owing to such Lender by the Borrower hereunder, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver a Note or Notes to such Lender evidencing any Term Loans and Revolving Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit B-1 (Form of Revolving Note) or Exhibit B-2 (Form of Term Loan Note), respectively.

 

Section 2.8                                   Optional Prepayments

 

(a)                                  Revolving Loans.  The Borrower may, upon (i) one Business Day’s prior notice in the case of Base Rate Loans and (ii) at least three Business Days’ prior notice in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans and Swing Loans in whole or in part at any time; provided, however, that, if any prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan is made by the Borrower other than on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan, the Borrower shall also pay any amount owing pursuant to Section 2.14(e) (Breakage Costs).  Each partial prepayment of (i) Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $500,000 or integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof and (b) Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 or integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof.

 

63

 

(b)                                 Term Loans.  The Company may, upon (i) at least one Business Day’s prior notice in the case of Base Rate Loans and (ii) at least three Business Days’ prior notice in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans, in whole or in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (A) except as otherwise provided in clause (B) below, prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.8(b) shall be applied, first to the prepayment of the Term B-1 Loans and second, upon repayment in full of the Term B-1 Loans, to the prepayment of the Term B-2 Loans and (B) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such prepayment, then such prepayment of Term Loans shall be applied to each Class of Term Loans on a pro rata basis; provided, further, that if any prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan is made by the Company other than on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan, the Company shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.14(e) (Breakage Costs).  Each partial prepayment of (i) Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $500,000 or integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof and (ii) Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 or integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof, and any such partial prepayment shall be applied to the remaining installments of the Term Loans as directed by the Company.  Upon the giving of such notice of prepayment, the principal amount of the Term Loans specified to be prepaid shall become due and payable on the date specified for such prepayment.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.8(a) or (b) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the Facilities, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

 

(d)                                 If on or prior to the first anniversary of the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, (i) the Borrower makes any prepayment of Term B-2 Loans in connection with any Repricing Transaction, or (ii) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of each Lender in respect of the Term B-2 Loans, (A) in the case of clause (i), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the amount of such Term B-2 Loans being prepaid and (B) in the case of clause (ii), a payment equal to 1.00% of the aggregate amount of Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment.

 

(e)                                  The Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the principal amount of any Revolving Loan or any Term Loan other than as provided in this Section 2.8.

 

Section 2.9                                   Mandatory Prepayments

 

(a)                                  The Company shall prepay the Term Loans in accordance with clause (c) below:

 

(i)                                     within ten Business Days of receipt by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds arising from (A) any Asset Sale permitted under Section 8.4(g) (Sale of Assets) in excess of $250,000,000, in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $250,000,000 and (B) any other Asset Sale (other than an Asset Sale constituting a divestiture required by a Governmental Authority as a result of any Permitted Acquisition) or any Property Loss Event, in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds; and

 

64

 

(ii)                                  within ten Business Days of receipt by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds arising from any Debt Issuance (other than any Debt Issuance permitted by this Agreement (other than pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(iii) (Indebtedness), Section 8.1(a)(iv) (Indebtedness) and Section 8.1(g)(Indebtedness)), in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds.

 

(b)                                 If the Net Senior Secured Leverage Ratio as of the last day of any Fiscal Year (commencing with the Fiscal Year ended on or around March 31, 2007) is greater than 2.5 to 1.0, the Company shall prepay the Term Loans in accordance with clause (c) below, within ten Business Days after the delivery of Financial Statements pursuant to Section 6.1(b) (Financial Statements) for such Fiscal Year, in an amount equal to (i) 50% of Excess Cash Flow of the Company and its Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year minus (ii) any optional prepayment of Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.8(b) (Optional Prepayments) in such Fiscal Year; provided, however, that (A) any optional prepayments of the Term B-1 Loans on or after the date that is 180 days prior to the Term B-1 Loan Maturity Date and (B) any repayment of the Term B-1 Loans in connection with a Permitted Refinancing thereof incurred pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(ii) (Indebtedness), shall not be included for purposes of clause (ii) above.

 

(c)                                  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.13(g) (Payments and Computations), any prepayments made by the Company required to be applied in accordance with this clause (c), except in connection with a Deferred Prepayment Event and as otherwise provided in clause (B) below, shall be applied, (A) first to the prepayment of the Term B-1 Loans and second, upon repayment in full of the Term B-1 Loans, to the prepayment of the Term B-2 Loans, to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans, until such Term Loans shall have been prepaid in full and (B) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such prepayment, then such prepayment of Term Loans shall be applied to each Class of Term Loans on a pro rata basis.  All repayments of the Term Loans made pursuant to this clause (c) shall be applied to reduce the remaining installments of such outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans (i) in the stated order of their maturities for eight quarterly installments and then (ii) to reduce the remaining installments on a pro rata basis; provided, however, that (A) upon a Deferred Prepayment Event, the prepayments required above shall be reduced by the Deferred Prepayment Amount in respect of such Deferred Prepayment Event and (B) on the earlier of (1) the occurrence of an Event of Default and (2) the Deferred Prepayment Date, the remaining balance of such Deferred Prepayment Amount shall be applied as set forth above. For the avoidance of doubt, any Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(iii) (Indebtedness) and Section 8.1(a)(iv) (Indebtedness) shall be applied, first, to prepay outstanding principal balance of the Term B-1 Loans until such Term Loans shall have been prepaid in full and, second, to the prepayment of the Term B-2 Loans.

 

(d)                                 If at any time, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Outstandings exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments at such time, the Company shall forthwith prepay the Swing Loans first and then the other Revolving Loans then outstanding in an amount equal to such excess.  If any such excess remains after repayment in full of the aggregate outstanding Swing Loans and Revolving Loans, the Company shall provide cash collateral for the Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit) in an amount equal to 105% of such excess.

 

65

 

Section 2.10                            Interest

 

(a)                                  Rate of Interest.

 

(i)                                     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the option of the Company, all Revolving Loans and Term Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans; provided, however, that all such Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans unless, subject to Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans), the Notice of Borrowing specifies that all or a portion thereof shall be Eurodollar Rate Loans, as the case may be.  All Swing Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans, subject to conversion pursuant to Section 2.3 (Swing Loans).

 

(ii)                                  All Loans and the outstanding amount of all other Obligations (other than pursuant to Hedging Contracts that are Loan Documents, to the extent such Hedging Contracts provide for the accrual of interest on unpaid obligations) shall bear interest, in the case of Loans, on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made and, in the case of such other Obligations, from the date such other Obligations are due and payable until, in all cases, paid in full, except as otherwise provided in clause (c) below, as follows:

 

(A)                              if a Base Rate Loan or such other Obligation, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate as in effect from time to time and  (B) the Applicable Margin; and

 

(B)                                if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Eurodollar Rate determined for the applicable Interest Period and (B) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time during such Interest Period.

 

(b)                                 Interest Payments.  (i) Interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan (other than Swing Loans) shall be payable in arrears (A) on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such day following the making of such Base Rate Loan, (B) in the case of Base Rate Loans that are Term Loans, upon the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part on the principal amount paid or prepaid and (C) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Loan, (ii) interest accrued on Swing Loans shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of the immediately succeeding calendar quarter, (iii) interest accrued on each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Loan and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each date during such Interest Period occurring every three months from the first day of such Interest Period, (B) upon the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part on the principal amount paid or prepaid and (C) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Loan and (iv) interest accrued on the amount of all other Obligations shall be payable on demand from and after the time such Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

 

(c)                                  Default Interest.  Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in clause (a) above or elsewhere herein, effective immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) or (b) (Events of Default) and for as long thereafter as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the principal balance of all Loans and the amount of all other Obligations then due and payable shall bear interest at a rate that is two percent per annum in excess of the rate of interest applicable to such Loans or other Obligations from time to time.  Such interest shall be payable on the date that would otherwise be applicable to such interest pursuant to clause (b) above  or otherwise on demand.

 

66

 

Section 2.11                            Conversion/Continuation Option

 

(a)                                  The Borrower may elect (i) at any time on any Business Day to convert Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Loans) or any portion thereof to Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) at the end of any applicable Interest Period, (A) to convert Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof into Base Rate Loans or (B) to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans, or any portion thereof, for an additional Interest Period; provided, however, that (i) the aggregate amount of the Base Rate Loans for each Interest Period must be in the amount of at least $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans for each Interest Period must be in the amount of at least $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof.  Each conversion or continuation shall be allocated among the Loans of each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion.  Each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit F (Form of Notice of Conversion or Continuation) (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) and shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior written notice specifying (A) the amount and type of Loan being converted or continued, (B) in the case of a conversion to or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the applicable Interest Period and (C) in the case of a conversion, the date of such conversion.

 

(b)                                 The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation and of the options selected therein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans and no continuation in whole or in part of Eurodollar Rate Loans upon the expiration of any applicable Interest Period shall be permitted at any time at which (i) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii) the continuation of, or conversion into, a Eurodollar Rate Loan would violate any provision of Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans).  If, within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.11, the  Administrative Agent does not receive a Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Company containing a permitted election to continue any Eurodollar Rate Loans for an additional Interest Period or to convert any such Loans, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans.  Each Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable.

 

Section 2.12                            Fees

 

(a)                                  Unused Commitment Fee.  The Company agrees to pay in immediately available Dollars to each Revolving Credit Lender a commitment fee on the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving Credit Lender exceeds the sum of (A) such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans and (B) such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of the outstanding amount of the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) from the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date through the Revolving Credit Termination Date at the Applicable Unused Commitment Fee Rate, payable in arrears (x) on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such Business Day following the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date and (y) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

 

(b)                                 Letter of Credit Fees.  The Company agrees to pay the following amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued by any Issuer:

(i)                                     to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Issuer of a Letter of Credit, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer, an issuance fee equal to 0.25% per annum of the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit, payable in arrears (A) on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such Business Day following the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date;

 

(ii)                                  to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, with respect to each Letter of Credit, a fee accruing in Dollars at a rate per annum equal to (A) the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans minus (B) 0.25% on the Revolving Credit Lenders’ Ratable Portion of the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit, payable in arrears (1) on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such Business Day following the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (2) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) or (b) (Events of Default), such fee shall be increased by two percent per annum (instead of, and not in addition to, any increase pursuant to Section 2.10(c) (Interest)) and shall be payable on demand; and

 

(iii)                               to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, with respect to the issuance, amendment or transfer of each Letter of Credit and each drawing made thereunder, customary documentary and processing charges in accordance with such Issuer’s standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of issuance, amendment, transfer or drawing, as the case may be.

 

(c)                                  Defaulting Lender Fees.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any fees accruing during such period pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above (without prejudice to the rights of the Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees); provided, that (i) to the extent that a Ratable Portion of the Letter of Credit Obligations or Swing Loans of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.18(a) (Defaulting Lender), such fees that would have accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders, pro  rata in accordance with their respective Commitments, and (ii) to the extent any portion of such Letter or Credit Obligations or Swing Loans cannot be so reallocated and the Borrower has not provided cash collateral, such fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the Issuer and the Swing Lender as their interests appear (and the pro  rata payment provisions of Section 2.13 (Payments and Computations) will automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this Section 2.12(c) (Fees)).

 

(d)                                 Additional Fees.  The Company has agreed to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers additional fees, the amount and dates of payment of which are embodied in the Fee Letter.

 

Section 2.13                            Payments and Computations

 

(a)                                  The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (including fees and expenses) not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day when due, in the currency specified herein (or, if no such currency is specified, in Dollars) to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) in immediately available funds without set-off

 

68

 

or counterclaim.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the applicable Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in clause (f) or (g) below, as applicable, for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices; provided, however, that amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy), Section 2.16 (Taxes) or Section 2.14(c) or (d) (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans) shall be paid only to the affected Lender or Lenders and amounts payable with respect to Swing Loans shall be paid only to the applicable Swing Lender.  Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day.

 

(b)                                 All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days (or 365/366 days in the case of Obligations bearing interest at the Base Rate and the Applicable Unused Commitment Fee Rate), 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 and fees are payable.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of a rate of interest hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

(c)                                  Each payment by the Borrower of any Loan, Reimbursement Obligation (including interest or fees in respect thereof) and each reimbursement of various costs, expenses or other Obligation shall be made in the currency in which such Loan was made, such Letter of Credit issued or such cost, expense or other Obligation was incurred; provided, however, that (i) the Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement for a Letter of Credit may specify another currency for the Reimbursement Obligation in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) other than for payments in respect of a Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, Loan Documents duly executed by the Administrative Agent or any Hedging Contract may specify other currencies of payment for Obligations created by or directly related to such Loan Document or Hedging Contract.

 

(d)                                 Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of any Eurodollar Rate Loan to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.  All repayments of any Loans denominated in Dollars shall be applied to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans as notified by the Company to the Administrative Agent in writing (which writing may be by telecopy or electronic mail) not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) one Business Day prior to the scheduled date of such payment, with those Eurodollar Rate Loans having earlier expiring Eurodollar Interest Periods being repaid prior to those having later expiring Eurodollar Interest Periods; provided, however, that if the Company fails to so notify the Administrative Agent, such payment shall be applied first, to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then, to repay such Loans outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans.

 

(e)                                  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower to the Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due 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 applicable Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender.  If and

 

69

 

to the extent that the Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each applicable Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon (in the case of the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter, at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans) for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent.

 

(f)                                    Except for payments and other amounts received by the Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with the provisions of clause (g) below (or required to be applied in accordance with Section 2.9(c) (Mandatory Prepayments)), all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to pay principal of, and interest on, any portion of the Loans the Administrative Agent may have advanced pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement on behalf of any Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower, second, to pay all other Obligations then due and payable and third, as the Company so designates.  Payments in respect of Swing Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to the applicable Swing Lender; payments in respect of Revolving Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit Facility; payments in respect of Term B-1 Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Term B-1 Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Term B-1 Loan Facility; payments in respect of Term B-2 Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Term B-2 Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Term B-2 Loan Facility; and all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation shall be allocated among such of the Lenders and Issuers as are entitled thereto and, for such payments allocated to the Lenders, in proportion to their respective Ratable Portions.

 

(g)                                 The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Obligations and any proceeds of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.9(c) (Mandatory Prepayments) and clause (f) above, the Administrative Agent may, and, upon either (A) the written direction of the Requisite Lenders or (B) the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.2 (Remedies) shall, apply all payments in respect of any Obligations and all funds on deposit in any Cash Collateral Account and all other proceeds of Collateral in the following order:

 

(i)                                     first, to pay Secured Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent;

 

(ii)                                  second, to pay Secured Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders and the Issuers;

 

(iii)                               third, to pay Secured Obligations in respect of any fees then due to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers;

 

(iv)                              fourth, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations;

 

(v)                                 fifth, to pay or prepay principal amounts on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, to provide cash collateral for outstanding Letter of Credit

 

70

 

Undrawn Amounts in the manner described in Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit) and to pay Cash Management Obligations and amounts owing with respect to Hedging Contracts, ratably to the aggregate principal amount of such Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts, Cash Management Obligations and Obligations owing with respect to Hedging Contracts; and

 

(vi)                              sixth, to the ratable payment of all other Secured Obligations;

 

provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any Secured Obligation described in any of clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) above, the available funds being applied with respect to any such Secured Obligation (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Secured Obligation ratably, based on the proportion of the Admininstrative Agent’s and each Lender’s or Issuer’s interest in the aggregate outstanding Secured Obligations described in such clauses; provided, further, that payments that would otherwise be allocated to the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be allocated first to pay interest on and principal of any portion of the Revolving Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower, second to repay Swing Loans until such Loans are repaid in full and then to repay the Revolving Loans.  The order of priority set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) above  may at any time and from time to time be changed by the agreement of the Requisite Lenders without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by the Borrower, any Secured Party that is not a Lender or Issuer or by any other Person that is not a Lender or Issuer.  The order of priority set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above  may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in addition to that of the Requisite Lenders.

 

(h)                                 If any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments in respect of the Obligations and any proceeds of Collateral due to it from or for the benefit of the Borrower to the Non-Defaulting Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their Ratable Portion of all Obligations until such Non-Defaulting Lenders have been repaid in full.  Such Defaulting Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to distribute such payments to the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with Section 2.9(c)(Mandatory Prepayments) and this Section 2.13 (Payments and Computations).  This Section 2.13(h) (Payments and Computations) shall apply and be effective regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and notwithstanding (i) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or (ii) any instruction of the Borrower as to its desired application of payments.

 

Section 2.14                            Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans

 

(a)                                  Determination of Interest Rate

 

The Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate.”  The Administrative Agent’s determination shall be presumed to be correct absent manifest error and shall be binding on the Borrower.

 

71

 

(b)                                 Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair

 

In the event that (A) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurodollar Rate then being determined is to be fixed or (B) the Requisite Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans in the applicable currency for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Company and the Lenders, whereupon each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Loan, convert into a Base Rate Loan and the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company that the Requisite Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

 

(c)                                  Increased Costs

 

If at any time any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in determining the Eurodollar Rate) or the compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall have the effect of increasing the cost to such Lender (except with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 2.16) of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loans, then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost.  A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.14(c) to the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder, are deemed to have been introduced or adopted after the date hereof, regardless of the date enacted or adopted.

 

(d)                                 Illegality

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and each such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans are then outstanding, the Borrower shall immediately convert each such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.  If, at any time after a Lender gives notice under this clause (d), such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender.  The Borrower’s right to request, and such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon be restored.

 

72

 

(e)                                  Breakage Costs

 

In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10 (Interest), the Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans to the Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans) that such Lender may sustain (i) if for any reason (other than solely by reason of such Lender being a Defaulting Lender) a proposed Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the Borrower or in a telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion or continuation or a successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 2.11 (Conversion/Continuation Option), (ii) if for any reason any Eurodollar Rate Loan is prepaid (including mandatorily pursuant to Section 2.9 (Mandatory Prepayments)) on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as a result of any of the events indicated in clause (d) above or (iv) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to repay Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the terms hereof.  The Lender making demand for such compensation shall deliver to the Borrower concurrently with such demand a written statement as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes as to the amount of compensation due to such Lender, absent manifest error.

 

Section 2.15                            Capital Adequacy

 

If at any time any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the Closing Date regarding capital adequacy, (b) compliance with any such law, treaty, rule, regulation or order or (c) compliance with any guideline or request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s (or any corporation controlling such Lender’s) capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change, compliance or interpretation, then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction.  A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.15 to the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder, are deemed to have been introduced or adopted after the date hereof, regardless of the date enacted or adopted.

 

Section 2.16                            Taxes

 

(a)                                  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.16, any and all payments by any Loan Party under each Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) in the case of each Lender, each

 

73

 

Issuer and the Administrative Agent (A) taxes measured by its net income, branch profits and franchise taxes imposed on it, and similar taxes imposed by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Lender, such Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized, (B) any U.S. withholding taxes payable with respect to payments under the Loan Documents under laws (including any statute, treaty or regulation) in effect at the time a Lender becomes a party hereto or designates a new Applicable Lending Office, but not excluding any U.S. withholding taxes payable to the extent such Lender or its assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment or designation of a new Applicable Lending Office, to receive additional amounts from the Loan Parties with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to this Section 2.16 and (C) any withholding taxes attributable to a Lender’s failure to comply with Section 2.16(f), and (ii) in the case of each Lender or each Issuer, except to the extent arising solely as a result of entering into this Agreement, taxes measured by its net income, branch profits and franchise taxes imposed on it as a result of a present or former connection between such Lender or such Issuer (as the case may be) and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any taxing authority thereof or therein (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).  If any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Lender, any Issuer or the Administrative Agent (w) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16), such Lender, such Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (x) the relevant Loan Party shall make such deductions, (y) the relevant Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (z) the relevant Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such payment.

 

(b)                                 In addition, each Loan Party agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign jurisdiction, and all liabilities with respect thereto, in each case arising from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

 

(c)                                  Each Loan Party shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each Lender, each Issuer and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.16) paid by such Lender, such Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including for penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.  This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender, such Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor, which demand shall include reasonable supporting documentation of the imposition of such Taxes or Other Taxes.

 

(d)                                 Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.), the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

 

74

 

(e)                                  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Loan Party hereunder or under the Guaranty, the agreements and obligations of such Loan Party contained in this Section 2.16 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations.

 

(f)                                    (i)                                     Each Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax, or that is subject to such tax at a reduced rate under an applicable tax treaty, shall (v) on or prior to the Closing Date in the case of each Non-U.S. lender that is a signatory hereto, (w) on or prior to the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender, on or prior to the date a successor Issuer becomes an Issuer or the date a successor Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (z) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with two completed originals of each of the following, as applicable:

 

(A)                              Form W-8ECI (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business) or any successor form;

 

(B)                                Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S.  withholding tax under an income tax treaty) or any successor form;

 

(C)                                in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, a Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form; or

 

(D)                               any other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to such Non-U.S. Lender’s entitlement to such exemption from U.S. withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender under the Loan Documents.

 

(ii)                                  [Reserved].

 

(iii)                               Unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Lender are not subject to U.S. withholding tax or are subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Requirements of Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate and pay over such amounts to the applicable taxing authority.  If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Non-U.S. Lender are subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent shall withhold amounts at such reduced rate and pay over such amounts to the applicable taxing authority.

 

75

 

(iv)                              Each U.S. Lender shall (v) on or prior to the Closing Date in the case of each U.S. Lender that is a signatory hereto, (w) on or prior to the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such U.S. Lender becomes a Lender, on or prior to the date a successor Issuer becomes an Issuer or on or prior to the date a successor Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (z) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax) or any successor form.  Solely for purposes of this Section 2.16(f), a U.S. Lender shall not include a Lender, an Issuer or an Administrative Agent that may be treated as an exempt recipient based on the indicators described in Treasury Regulation section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii).

 

(g)                                 Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that would be payable or may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

 

Section 2.17                            Substitution of Lenders

 

(a)                                  In the event that (i)(A) any Lender makes a claim under Section 2.14(c) (Increased Costs) or Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy), (B) it becomes illegal for any Lender to continue to fund or make any Eurodollar Rate Loan and such Lender notifies the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14(d) (Illegality), (C) any Loan Party is required to make any payment pursuant to Section 2.16 (Taxes) that is attributable to a particular Lender or (D) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (ii) in the case of clause (i)(A) above, as a consequence of increased costs in respect of which such claim is made, the effective rate of interest payable to such Lender under this Agreement with respect to its Loans materially exceeds the effective average annual rate of interest payable to the Requisite Lenders under this Agreement and (iii) in the case of clause (i)(A),(B) and (C) above, Lenders holding at least 75% of the Commitments are not subject to such increased costs or illegality, payment or proceedings (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may substitute any Lender and, if reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, any other Eligible Assignee (a “Substitute Institution”) for such Affected Lender hereunder, after delivery of a written notice (a “Substitution Notice”) by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender within a reasonable time (in any case not to exceed 90 days) following the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (i) above that the Borrower intends to make such substitution; provided, however, that, if more than one Lender claims increased costs, illegality or right to payment arising from the same act or condition and such claims are received by the Borrower within 30 days of each other, then the Borrower may substitute all, but not (except to the extent the Borrower have already substituted one of such Affected Lenders before Borrower’s receipt of the other Affected Lenders’ claim) less than all, Lenders making such claims.

 

(b)                                 If the Substitution Notice was properly issued under this Section 2.17, the Affected Lender shall sell, and the Substitute Institution shall purchase, all rights and claims

 

76

 

of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents and the Substitute Institution shall assume, and the Affected Lender shall be relieved of, the Affected Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments and all other prior unperformed obligations of the Affected Lender under the Loan Documents (other than in respect of any damages (which pursuant to Section 11.5, do not include exemplary or punitive damages, to the extent permitted by applicable law) in respect of any such unperformed obligations).  Such purchase and sale (and the corresponding assignment of all rights and claims hereunder) shall be recorded in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent and shall be effective on (and not earlier than) the later of (i) the receipt by the Affected Lender of its Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit Outstandings, the Term Loans, together with any other Obligations owing to it, (ii) the receipt by the Administrative Agent of an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to it and the Borrower whereby the Substitute Institution shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof and (iii) the payment in full to the Affected Lender in cash of all fees, unreimbursed costs and expenses and indemnities accrued and unpaid through such effective date.  Upon the effectiveness of such sale, purchase and assumption, the Substitute Institution shall become a “Lender” hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement having a Commitment in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Commitment assumed by it and such Commitment of the Affected Lender shall be terminated; provided, however, that all indemnities under the Loan Documents shall continue in favor of such Affected Lender.

 

(c)                                  Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes an Affected Lender and its rights and claims are assigned hereunder to a Substitute Institution pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such assignment, together with any Note (if such Loans are evidenced by a Note) evidencing the Loans subject to such Assignment and Acceptance; provided, however, that the failure of any Affected Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such assignment invalid.

 

Section 2.18                            Defaulting Lender

 

(a)                                  Reallocation of Defaulting Lender Commitment.  If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply with respect to any outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations and any outstanding Swing Loans:

 

(i)                                     the Ratable Portion of such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit Obligations and any outstanding Swing Loans will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the date such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders pro  rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, that (A) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit Outstandings may not in any event exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (B) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuer, any Swing Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender; provided that to the extent that amounts are reallocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with this clause (i) and any cash collateral was provided pursuant to clause (ii)(A) below with respect to any such Letter of Credit Obligations or Swing Loans, the cash collateral requirement pursuant to such clause (ii)(A) will terminate and the each applicable Issuer and Swing Lender will cause any cash collateral posted with respect to their respective Letter of Credit Obligations or Swing Loans, as the

 

77

 

case may be, to be returned to the Borrower subject to any terms relating to such cash collateral;

 

(ii)                                  to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Ratable Portion of such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit Obligations and any outstanding Swing Loans cannot be so reallocated, the Borrower will promptly, and in no event later than 10 Business Days after any demand by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Issuer and/or the Swing Lender, as the case may be), (A)(x) cash collateralize the obligations of the Borrower to the Issuers in respect of such Letter of Credit Obligations, in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of such Letter of Credit Obligations on terms acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Issuer and (y) in the case of such outstanding Swing Loans, prepay (subject to clause (iii) below) and/or cash collateralize (on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Swing Lender) in full the unreallocated portion thereof, or (B) make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and to the Issuers and the Swing Lender, as the case may be, in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender, in each case without duplications with respect to any prior actions taken with respect to such Letter of Credit Obligations and Swing Loans pursuant to clause (b) below; and

 

(iii)                               any amount paid by the Borrower for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated, non-interest bearing account until the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations of the Borrower hereunder in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuer or the Swing Lender (pro  rata as to the respective amounts owing to each of them) under this Agreement, third to the payment of post-default interest and then current interest due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder other than Defaulting Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them, fourth to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them, fifth to pay principal and Reimbursement Obligations then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them, sixth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders, and seventh after the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations of the Borrower hereunder, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

 

(b)                                 Termination of Defaulting Lender Commitments.  The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Revovling Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than 10 Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly

 

78

 

notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.13  (Payments and Computations) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided, that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuer, the Swing Lender or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

 

(c)                                  Cure.  If the Borrower, Administrative Agent, the Issuer and the Swing Lender agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the closing date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.18(a) (Defaulting Lender)), (i) such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause such Lender’s Ratable Portion to be on a pro  rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-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 such Lender was a Defaulting Lender and (ii) the cash collateral requirements set forth in this Section 2.18 will terminate and the each applicable Issuer and Swing Lender will cause any cash collateral posted with respect to their respective Letter of Credit Obligations or Swing Loans, as the case may be, to be returned to the Borrower subject to any terms relating to such cash collateral; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

 

(d)                                 Notices.  The Administrative Agent will promptly send to each Lender and Issuer a copy of any notice to the Borrower provided for in this Section 2.18.

Each submission by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing or a Swing Loan Request and the acceptance by the Borrower of the proceeds of each Loan requested therein, and each submission by the Company to an Issuer of a Letter of Credit Request, and the Issuance of each Letter of Credit requested therein, shall be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower as to the matters specified in clause (b) above  on the date of the making of such Loan or the Issuance of such Letter of Credit.

The designation of any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall constitute an Investment by the Company therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the net book value of the Company’s Investment therein.  The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence at the time of designation of any Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time.

During the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent (a) may, and, at the request of the Requisite Lenders, shall, by notice to the Company declare that all or any portion of the Commitments be terminated, whereupon the obligation of each Lender to make any Loan and each Issuer to Issue any Letter of Credit shall immediately terminate and (b) may and, at the request of the Requisite Lenders, shall, by notice to the Company, declare the Loans, all interest thereon and all other amounts and Obligations payable under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Loans, all such interest and all such amounts and Obligations 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; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of the Events of Default specified in Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default), (x) the Commitments of each Lender to make Loans and the commitments of each Lender and Issuer to Issue or participate in Letters of Credit shall each automatically be terminated and (y) the Loans, all such interest and all such amounts and Obligations 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.  In addition to the remedies set forth above, the Administrative Agent may exercise any remedies provided for by the Collateral Documents in accordance with the terms thereof or any other remedies provided by applicable law.

 

Section 9.3            Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit

 

At any time (i) upon the Revolving Credit Termination Date, (ii) after the Revolving Credit Termination Date when the aggregate funds on deposit in Cash Collateral Accounts shall be less than 105% of the Letter of Credit Obligations and (iii) as may be required by Section 2.9(d) (Mandatory Prepayments), the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s office referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.), for deposit in a Cash Collateral Account, (x) in the case of clauses  (i) and (ii) above, the amount required to that, after such payment, the aggregate funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Accounts equals or exceeds 105% of the sum of all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations and (y) in the case of clause  (iii) above, the amount required by Section 2.9(d) (Mandatory Prepayments).  The Administrative Agent may, from time to time after funds are deposited in any Cash Collateral Account, apply funds then held in such Cash Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, in accordance with Section 2.9(d) (Mandatory Prepayments) and Section 2.13(g) (Payments and Computations), as shall have become or shall become due and payable by the Company to the Issuers or Lenders in respect of the Letter of Credit Obligations.

 

121

 

The Administrative Agent shall promptly give written notice of any such application; provided, however, that the failure to give such written notice shall not invalidate any such application.

 

Section 9.4            Rescission

 

If at any time after termination of the Commitments or acceleration of the maturity of the Loans, the Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified herein) and all Events of Default and Defaults (other than non-payment of principal of and accrued interest on the Loans due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to Section 11.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.), then upon the written consent of the Requisite Lenders and written notice to the Company, the termination of the Commitments or the acceleration and their consequences may be rescinded and annulled; provided, however, that such action shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon.  The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders and the Issuers to a decision that may be made at the election of the Requisite Lenders, and such provisions are not intended to benefit the Borrower and do not give the Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met.

 

Section 9.5            Right to Cure

 

(a)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.1(d)(i) (Events of Default), in the event that the Company fails to comply with the requirements of the covenant set forth in Article V  (Financial Covenant) for any period, at any time on or before the tenth day after the date of delivery of a Notice of Intent to Cure by the Company to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.1(c) (Financial Statements), the Company and Holdings shall have the right to issue Permitted Cure Securities to any Permitted Sponsor for cash (the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by the Company (including through capital contributions by Holdings to the Company) of such cash (the “Cure Amount”), the covenant set forth in Article V  (Financial Covenant) shall be recalculated, giving effect to a pro forma increase to Consolidated EBITDA in accordance with the definition thereof for the fiscal quarter for which such Cure Right was exercised in an amount equal to such Cure Amount (and such increase shall be included in each period that includes such fiscal quarter); provided, however, that such pro forma adjustment to Consolidated EBITDA shall be given solely for the purpose of determining the existence of a Default or an Event of Default under the covenant set forth in Article V  (Financial Covenant) with respect to any period that includes the fiscal quarter for which such Cure Right was exercised and not for any other purpose under any Loan Document.

 

(b)           If, after the exercise of the Cure Right and the recalculations pursuant to clause (a) above, the Company shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the covenant set forth in Article V  (Financial Covenant) for such fiscal quarter, the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the covenant set forth in Article V  (Financial Covenant) as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable Default or Event of Default under Section 9.1(d)(i) (Events of Default) that had occurred shall be deemed cured; provided, however, that (i) the Company may not exercise the Cure Right more than two times in any four Fiscal Quarter period, (ii) with respect to any exercise of the Cure Right, the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the Company to be in compliance with Article V  (Financial

 

122

 

Covenant) and (iii) to the extent that the Cure Amount proceeds are used to repay Indebtedness, such Indebtedness shall not be deemed to have been repaid for purposes of calculating the covenant in Article V  (Financial Covenant) for the period with respect to which such Cure Amount applies.

Section 10.3         Posting of Approved Electronic Communications

(b)           Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, the Issuers and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and the Borrower shall cause each Guarantor to acknowledge and agree, that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution.  In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Lenders, the Issuers and the Borrower hereby approves, and the Borrower shall cause each Guarantor to approve, distribution of the Approved Electronic Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and

Section 10.4         The Administrative Agent Individually

 

With respect to its Ratable Portion, Citicorp shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender.  The terms “Lenders”, “Revolving Credit Lenders”, “Term Lenders”, “Requisite Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include, without limitation, the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender, a Revolving Credit Lender, Term Lender or as one of the Requisite Lenders.  Citicorp and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, any Loan Party as if Citicorp were not acting as the Administrative Agent.

 

Section 10.5         Lender Credit Decision

 

Each Lender and each Issuer acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, conduct its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and each other Loan Party in connection with the making and continuance of the Loans and with the issuance of the Letters of Credit.  Each Lender and each Issuer also acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and other Loan Documents.  Except for the documents expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders or the Issuers, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any Issuer with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of

 

125

 

any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate thereof or any employee or agent of any of the foregoing.

 

Section 10.6         Indemnification

 

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting their obligation to do so), from and against such Lender’s aggregate Ratable Portion of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or its Affiliate’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower or another Loan Party.

 

Section 10.7         Successor Administrative Agent

 

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation (such 30-day period, the “Lender Appointment Period”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, selected from among the Lenders.  In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Company (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default). In addition and without any obligation on the part of the retiring Administrative Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuers, a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent may at any time upon or after the end of the Lender Appointment Period notify the Company and the Lenders and the Issuers that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as successor Administrative Agent and the effective date of such retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation (which effective date shall be no earlier than three Business Days after the date of such notice).  Upon the resignation effective date established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment and the Company has approved such successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as

 

126

 

Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) 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 Issuer directly, until such time as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.  After such resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to have the benefit of this Article X as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

Any resignation pursuant to this Section 10.7 (Successor Administrative Agent) by a Person acting as Administrative Agent shall, unless such Person shall notify the Company and the Lenders and the Issuers otherwise, also act to relieve such Person and its Affiliates of any obligation to advance or issue new, or extend existing, Swing Loans or Letters of Credit where such advance, issuance or extension is to occur on or after the effective date of such resignation.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuer and Swing Lender, (ii) the retiring Issuer and Swing Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, (iii) the successor Swing Lender shall enter into an Assignment and Assumption and acquire from the retiring Swing Lender each outstanding Swing Loan of such retiring Swing Lender for a purchase price equal to par plus accrued interest and (iv) the successor Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

 

In addition to the foregoing, if a Revolving Credit Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, any Issuer and/or any Swing Lender may, upon prior written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, resign as Issuer or Swing Lender, respectively, effective at the close of business New York time on a date specified in such notice (which date may not be less than 30 days after the date of such notice); provided that such resignation by any such Issuer will have no effect on the validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit then outstanding or on the obligations of the Borrower or any Lender under this Agreement with respect to any such outstanding Letter of Credit or otherwise to such Issuer; and provided  further, that such resignation by any such Swing Lender will have no effect on its rights in respect of any outstanding Swing Loans or on the obligations of the Borrower or any Lender under this Agreement with respect to any such outstanding Swing Loan.

 

Section 10.8         Concerning the Collateral and the Collateral Documents

 

(a)           Each Lender and each Issuer agrees that any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the

 

127

 

Requisite Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders, Issuers and other Secured Parties.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to (i) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders and the Issuers with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection herewith and with the Collateral Documents, (ii) execute and deliver each Collateral Document and accept delivery of each such agreement delivered by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) act as collateral agent for the Lenders, the Issuers and the other Secured Parties for purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens created by such agreements and all other purposes stated therein, provided, however, that the Administrative Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and directs each Lender and Issuer to act as collateral sub-agent for the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers for purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens with respect to the Collateral, including any Deposit Accounts maintained by a Loan Party with, and cash and Cash Equivalents held by, such Lender or such Issuer, (iv) manage, supervise and otherwise deal with the Collateral, (v) take such action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interests and Liens created or purported to be created by the Collateral Documents and (vi) except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof or of any other Loan Document, exercise all remedies given to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuers and the other Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral under the Loan Documents relating thereto, applicable law or otherwise.

 

(b)           Each of the Lenders and the Issuers hereby consents to the release and hereby directs, in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent to release (or, in the case of clause (ii) below, release or subordinate) any Lien held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuers against any of the following:

 

(i)            all of the Collateral and all Loan Parties, upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full of all Loans, all Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations that the Administrative Agent has been notified in writing are then due and payable (and, in respect of contingent Letter of Credit Obligations, with respect to which cash collateral has been deposited or a back-up letter of credit has been issued, in either case in the appropriate currency and on terms satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuers);

 

(ii)           any assets that are subject to a Lien permitted by Section 8.2(i) (Liens, Etc.);

 

(iii)          any part of the Collateral sold or disposed of by a Loan Party if such sale or disposition is permitted by this Agreement (or permitted pursuant to a waiver of or consent to a transaction otherwise prohibited by this Agreement); and

 

(iv)          the security interests in any Digital Cinema Equipment granted prior to the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date.

 

Each of the Lenders and the Issuers hereby directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver or file such termination and partial release statements and do such other things as are necessary to release Liens to be released pursuant to this Section 10.8 promptly upon the effectiveness of any such release.

 

128

 

Section 10.9         Collateral Matters Relating to Related Obligations

 

The benefit of the Loan Documents and of the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Collateral shall extend to and be available in respect of any Secured Obligation arising under any Hedging Contract or Cash Management Obligation or that is otherwise owed to Persons other than the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers (collectively, “Related Obligations”) solely on the condition and understanding, as among the Administrative Agent and all Secured Parties, that (a) the Related Obligations shall be entitled to the benefit of the Loan Documents and the Collateral to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to such extent the Administrative Agent shall hold, and have the right and power to act with respect to, the Guaranty and the Collateral on behalf of and as agent for the holders of the Related Obligations, but the Administrative Agent is otherwise acting solely as agent for the Lenders and the Issuers and shall have no fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Related Obligations, (b) all matters, acts and omissions relating in any manner to the Guaranty, the Collateral, or the omission, creation, perfection, priority, abandonment or release of any Lien, shall be governed solely by the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and no separate Lien, right, power or remedy shall arise or exist in favor of any Secured Party under any separate instrument or agreement or in respect of any Related Obligation, (c) each Secured Party shall be bound by all actions taken or omitted, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, by the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders, each of whom shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion and exclusively in its own interest given its own Commitments and its own interest in the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and other Obligations to it arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without any duty or liability to any other Secured Party or as to any Related Obligation and without regard to whether any Related Obligation remains outstanding or is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral or becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, (d) no holder of Related Obligations and no other Secured Party (except the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers, to the extent set forth in this Agreement) shall have any right to be notified of, or to direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under this Agreement or the Loan Documents and (e) no holder of any Related Obligation shall exercise any right of setoff, banker’s lien or similar right except to the extent provided in Section 11.6 (Right of Set-off) and then only to the extent such right is exercised in compliance with Section 11.7 (Sharing of Payments, Etc.).

and provided, further, that (A) any modification of the application of payments to the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.9 (Mandatory Prepayments) shall require the consent of the Requisite Term Lenders, (B) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by any Special Purpose Vehicle that has been granted an option pursuant to Section 11.2(e) (Assignments and Participations), affect the grant or nature of such option or the right or duties of such Special Purpose Vehicle hereunder, (C) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and (D) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the applicable Swing Lender in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Swing Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, further, that, (x) the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Company, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or any Issuer, (y) the Administrative Agent and the Company may amend, modify or supplement this Agreement to the extent necessary to implement the terms of a Facility Increase, extension of the Term B-1 Loan Maturity Date or the Term B-2 Loan Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2.1(d) (Extension of Term Loan Maturity Date) and extension of the Scheduled Revolving Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.1(e) (Extension of Scheduled Revolving Termination Date), each in accordance with the terms hereof and (z) the Requisite Revolving Credit Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the prior written consent thereof), on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, may amend, supplement or otherwise modify or waive any of the terms and provisions (and related definitions) of Article V (Financial Covenant).  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Loans or other extensions of credit of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Requisite Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the definition of “Requisite Lenders” will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period); provided, that any such amendment or waiver that would increase or extend the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

 

(b)           The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the written concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender.  Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.  No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

 

(c)           If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination requiring the consent of all Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Lenders, the consent

 

131

 

of Requisite Lenders is obtained but the consent of any Revolving Credit Lender or Term Lender whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 11.1 being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, at the Company’s request, an Eligible Assignee reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall have the right to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent or such Eligible Assignee, all of the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Outstandings of such Non-Consenting Lender if such Non-Consenting Lender is a Revolving Credit Lender and all of the Term Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender if such Non-Consenting Lender is a Term Lender, in each case, for an amount equal to the principal balance of all such Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, held by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale; provided, however, that such purchase and sale shall be recorded in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent and not be effective until (x) the Administrative Agent shall have received from such Eligible Assignee an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Company whereby such Eligible Assignee shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof and (y) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payments of all Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, held by it and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of the sale.  Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by Notes) subject to such Assignment and Acceptance; provided, however, that the failure of any Non-Consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.

 

Section 11.2         Assignments and Participations

 

(a)           Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans, the Revolving Loans, the Swing Loans and the Letters of Credit); provided, however, that (i) if any such assignment shall be of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Credit Outstandings and Revolving Credit Commitments, such assignment shall cover the same percentage of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Outstandings and Revolving Credit Commitments, (ii) the aggregate amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event (if less than the Assignor’s entire interest) be less than (x) in the case of Revolving Credit Outstandings and Revolving Credit Commitments, $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (y) in the case of Term Loans, $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, except, in either case, (A) with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent or (B) if such assignment is being made to a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender, (iii) if such Eligible Assignee is not, prior to the date of such assignment, a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender, such assignment shall be subject to the prior consent of the Administrative Agent and the Company (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (iv) if such Eligible Assignee is not, prior to the date of such assignment, a Revolving Credit Lender or an Affiliate of a Revolving Credit Lender, any such assignment with respect to Revolving Credit Outstandings and Revolving Credit Commitments, shall be subject to the prior consent of each Issuer and Swing Lender; provided, however that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided, further, that, notwithstanding any other

 

132

 

provision of this Section 11.2, the consent of the Company shall not be required for any assignment occurring when any Event of Default under Section 9.1(a), (b) or (f) shall have occurred and be continuing.  Any such assignment need not be ratable as among (I) the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility or (II) the Term B-1 Loan Facility and the Term B-2 Loan Facility.

 

(b)           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 (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by a Note) subject to such assignment.  Upon the execution, delivery, acceptance and recording in the Register of any Assignment and Acceptance and, other than in respect of assignments made pursuant to Section 2.17 (Substitution of Lenders) and Section 11.1(c) (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.), the receipt by the Administrative Agent from the assignee of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender, and if such Lender were an Issuer, of such Issuer hereunder and thereunder, and (ii) the Notes (if any) corresponding to the Loans assigned thereby shall be transferred to such assignee by notation in the Register and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

 

(c)           The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and shall record in the Register the names and addresses of the Lenders and Issuers and the principal amount of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owing to each Lender from time to time and the Commitments of each Lender.  Any assignment pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall not be effective until such assignment is recorded in the Register.

 

(d)           Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record or cause to be recorded the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Company.  Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall, if requested by such assignee, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent new Notes to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the Commitments and Loans assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has surrendered any Note for exchange in connection with the assignment and has retained Commitments or Loans hereunder, new Notes to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments and Loans retained by it hereunder.  Such new Notes shall be dated the same date as the surrendered Notes and be in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 (Form of Revolving Note) or Exhibit B-3 (Form of Term Loan Note), as applicable.

 

(e)           In addition to the other assignment rights provided in this Section 11.2, each Lender may do each of the following:

 

133

 

(i)            grant to a Special Purpose Vehicle the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder and the exercise of such option by any such Special Purpose Vehicle and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy (once and to the extent that such Loans are made) the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans thereunder; provided, however, that (x) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment or an offer to commit by such a Special Purpose Vehicle to make Loans hereunder and no such Special Purpose Vehicle shall be liable for any indemnity or other Obligation (other than the making of Loans for which such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have exercised an option, and then only in accordance with the relevant option agreement) and (y) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain responsible to the other parties for the performance of its obligations under the terms of this Agreement and shall remain the holder of the Obligations for all purposes hereunder; and

 

(ii)           assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) without notice to or consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to any Federal Reserve Bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board) and (B) without notice to or consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, (1) any holder of, or trustee or other representative for the benefit of, the holders of such Lender’s Securities and (2) any Special Purpose Vehicle to which such Lender has granted an option pursuant to clause (i) above;

 

provided, however, that no such assignment or grant shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in clause (i) above and except, in the case of a subsequent foreclosure pursuant to an assignment as collateral, if such foreclosure is made in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 11.2 other than this clause (e) or clause (f) below.  Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees 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 such Special Purpose Vehicle, such party shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Special Purpose Vehicle that has been granted an option pursuant to this clause (e) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceeding (such agreement shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations).  The terms of the designation of, or assignment to, such Special Purpose Vehicle shall not restrict such Lender’s ability to, or grant such Special Purpose Vehicle the right to, consent to any amendment or waiver to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or to the departure by the Borrower from any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the consent of such Special Purpose Vehicle except, as long as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, Issuers and other Secured Parties shall continue to, and shall be entitled to continue to, deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement, to the extent any such consent would reduce the principal amount of, or the rate of interest on, any Obligations, amend this clause (e) or postpone any scheduled date of payment of such principal or interest.  Each Special Purpose Vehicle shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) and 2.16 (Taxes) and of Section 2.14(d) (Illegality) as if it were such Lender; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall not, at any time, be obligated to make any payment under Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy), 2.16 (Taxes) or 2.14(d) (Illegality) to any such Special Purpose Vehicle and any such Lender in excess of the amount the Borrower would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in respect of such interest if such Special

 

134

 

Purpose Vehicle had not been assigned the rights of such Lender hereunder; and provided, further, that such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have no direct right to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement against the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders.

 

(f)            Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit).  The terms of such participation shall not, in any event, require the participant’s consent to any amendments, waivers or other modifications of any provision of any Loan Documents, the consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or to the exercising or refraining from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce the obligations of the Loan Parties), except if any such amendment, waiver or other modification or consent would (i) reduce the amount, or postpone any date fixed for, any amount (whether of principal, interest or fees) payable to such participant under the Loan Documents, to which such participant would otherwise be entitled under such participation or (ii) result in the release of all or substantially all of the Collateral other than in accordance with Section 10.8(b) (Concerning the Collateral and the Collateral Documents).  In the event of the sale of any participation by any Lender, (w) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (x) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties for the performance of such obligations, (y) such Lender shall remain the holder of such Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement and (z) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) and 2.16 (Taxes) and of 2.14(d) (Illegality) as if it were a Lender; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall not, at any time, be obligated to make any payment under Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy), 2.16 (Taxes) or 2.14(d) (Illegality) to the participants in the rights and obligations of any Lender (together with such Lender) in excess of the amount the Borrower would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in respect of such interest had such participation not been sold; and provided, further, that such participant in the rights and obligations of such Lender shall have no direct right to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement against the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders.

 

(g)           Any Issuer may at any time assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any other Lender by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, the Administrative Agent, such Issuer and such Lender, subject to the provisions of Section 2.7(b) (Evidence of Debt) relating to notations of transfer in the Register. If any Issuer ceases to be a Lender hereunder by virtue of any assignment made pursuant to this Section 11.2, then, as of the effective date of such cessation, such Issuer’s obligations to Issue Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4 (Letters of Credit) shall terminate and such Issuer shall be an Issuer hereunder only with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit issued prior to such date.

 

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

 

135

 

Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

 

Section 11.3         Costs and Expenses

 

(a)           The Company agrees upon demand to pay, or reimburse the Administrative Agent for, all of Administrative Agent’s reasonable out-of-pocket audit, legal, appraisal, valuation, filing, document duplication and reproduction and investigation expenses and for all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every type and nature (including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Administrative Agent’s counsel, Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, local legal counsel, auditors, accountants, appraisers, printers, insurance and environmental advisors, and other consultants and agents) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any of the following: (i) the Administrative Agent’s audit and investigation of the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the preparation, negotiation or execution of any Loan Document or the Administrative Agent’s periodic audits of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, (ii) the preparation, negotiation, execution or interpretation of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III (Conditions to Loans and Letters of Credit)), any Loan Document or any proposal letter or commitment letter issued in connection therewith, or the making of the Loans hereunder, (iii) the creation, perfection or protection of the Liens under any Loan Document (including any reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses for local counsel in various jurisdictions), (iv) the ongoing administration of this Agreement and the Loans, including consultation with attorneys in connection therewith and with respect to the Administrative Agent’s rights and responsibilities hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (v) the protection, collection or enforcement of any Obligation or the enforcement of any Loan Document, (vi) the commencement, defense or intervention in any court proceeding relating in any way to the Obligations, any Loan Party, any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, the Merger, the Related Documents, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (vii) the response to, and preparation for, any subpoena or request for document production with which the Administrative Agent is served or deposition or other proceeding in which the Administrative Agent is called to testify, in each case, relating in any way to the Obligations, any Loan Party, any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, the Merger, the Related Documents, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (viii) any amendment, consent, waiver, assignment, restatement, or supplement to any Loan Document or the preparation, negotiation and execution of the same.

 

(b)           The Company further agrees to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and Issuers upon demand for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel and costs of settlement), incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Lenders or such Issuers in connection with any of the following: (i) in enforcing any Loan Document or Obligation or any security therefor or exercising or enforcing any other right or remedy available by reason of an Event of Default, (ii) in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out” or in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, (iii) in commencing, defending or intervening in any litigation or in filing a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings in any legal proceeding relating to the Obligations, any Loan Party, any of the Company’s Subsidiaries and related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document or Related Document or (iv) in taking any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above; provided, however, that the Company’s obligations under this

 

136

 

paragraph (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers for the expenses of counsel shall be limited to one outside counsel to the Administrative Agent and one outside counsel to the Lenders and the Issuers and, in each case, any reasonably appropriate local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, and if the interests of any Lender or group of Lenders (other than all of the Lenders) are distinctly or disproportionately affected, one additional outside counsel for such Lender or group of Lenders.

 

Section 11.4         Indemnities

 

(a)           The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Arranger, Lender, Issuer (including each Person obligated on a Hedging Contract that is a Loan Document if such Person was a Lender or Issuer at the time of it entered into such Hedging Contract) and each of their respective Affiliates, and each of the directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, representatives, attorneys, consultants and advisors of or to any of the foregoing (including those retained in connection with the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III (Conditions to Loans and Letters of Credit) (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements and expenses, joint or several, of any kind or nature (including fees, disbursements and expenses of financial and legal advisors to any such Indemnitee) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in connection with or arising out of any investigation, litigation or proceeding, whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any such Indemnitee or any of their respective directors, security holders or creditors or the Company or any such Subsidiary, Indemnitee, director, security holder or creditor is a party thereto, whether direct, indirect, or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or local law or other statutory regulation, securities or commercial law or regulation, or under common law or in equity, or on contract, tort or otherwise, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Obligation, any Letter of Credit, any Disclosure Document, any Related Document, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant to any thereof, or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit or in connection with any investigation of any potential matter covered hereby (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any liability under this Section 11.4 to an Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter that has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.  Without limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” include (i) all Environmental Liabilities and Costs arising from or connected with the past, present or future operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries involving any property subject to a Collateral Document, or damage to real or personal property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Contaminants on, upon or into such property or migrating from such property, (ii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Remedial Action concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Environmental Lien on Real Property or any asset owned or leased by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and (iv) any costs or liabilities concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including their operations and owned or leased Real Property, incurred in connection with any other matter under any Environmental Law, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (49 U.S.C. § 9601 et seq.) and applicable state property transfer laws, whether, with respect to any such matter, such Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in

 

137

 

possession, the successor in interest to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by virtue of foreclosure, except, with respect to those matters referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, to the extent (x) incurred following foreclosure by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer, or the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer having become the successor in interest to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and (y) to the extent attributable solely to acts or omissions of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer or any agent on behalf of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer or any other Indemnitee.

 

(b)           The Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Arranger, Lender and Issuer for, and hold such Administrative Agent, Arranger, Lender and Issuer and harmless from and against, any and all claims for brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation made against the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders and the Issuers for any broker, finder or consultant with respect to any agreement, arrangement or understanding made by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(c)           The Company, at the request of any Indemnitee, shall have the obligation to defend against any investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, in each case contemplated in clause (a) above, and the Company, in any event, may participate in the defense thereof with legal counsel of the Company’s choice. In the event that such Indemnitee requests the Company to defend against such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, the Company shall promptly do so and such Indemnitee shall have the right to have legal counsel of its choice participate in such defense.  No action taken by legal counsel chosen by such Indemnitee in defending against any such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, shall vitiate or in any way impair the Company’s obligation and duty hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnitee.

 

(d)           The Borrower agrees that any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 11.4) or any other Loan Document shall (i) survive payment in full of the Obligations and (ii) inure to the benefit of any Person that was at any time an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

Section 11.5         Limitation of Liability

 

(a)           The Borrower agrees that no Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) to any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective equity holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in the other Loan Documents and Related Documents, except to the extent such liability is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  In no event, however, shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings).  The Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees (each for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries) not to sue upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

 

138

 

(b)           IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY AGENT AFFILIATE HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, LENDER, ISSUER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT OR CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY OR ANY AGENT AFFILIATE’S TRANSMISSION OF APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR ANY USE OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH LIABILITY OF ANY AGENT AFFILIATE IS FOUND IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM AGENT AFFILIATE’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

 

Section 11.6         Right of Set-off

 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default each Lender and each Affiliate of a Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and 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 Lender or its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and even though such Obligations may be unmatured.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.  Each Lender agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of the Requisite Lenders (and that, it shall, to the extent lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of the Requisite Lenders) exercise its set-off rights under this Section 11.6 against any deposit accounts of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries maintained with such Lender or any Affiliate thereof. The rights of each Lender under this Section 11.6 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

 

Section 11.7         Sharing of Payments, Etc.

 

(a)           If any Lender (directly or through an Affiliate thereof) obtains any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off (including pursuant to Section 11.6  (Right of Set-off)) or otherwise) of the Loans owing to it, any interest thereon, fees in respect thereof or amounts due pursuant to Section 11.3 (Costs and Expenses) or 11.4 (Indemnities) (other than payments pursuant to Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans), 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) or 2.16 (Taxes)) or otherwise receives any Collateral or any “Proceeds” (as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement) of Collateral (other than payments pursuant to Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans), 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) or 2.16 (Taxes)) (in each case, whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off (including pursuant to Section 11.6  (Right of Set-off)) or otherwise) in excess of its Ratable Portion of all payments of such Obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender (a “Purchasing Lender”) shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders (each, a “Selling Lender”) such participations in their Loans or other Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such Purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them.

Section 11.11       Governing Law

 

This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

None of the Administrative Agent, Lenders or Issuers shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

Any reference to the number of a clause, sub-clause or subsection hereof immediately followed by a reference in parenthesis to the title of the Section containing such clause, sub-clause or subsection is a reference to such clause, sub-clause or subsection and not to the entire Section; provided, however, that, in case of direct conflict between the reference to the title and the reference to the number of such Section, the reference to the title shall govern absent manifest error.  If any reference to the number of a Section (but not to any clause, sub-clause or subsection thereof) is followed immediately by a reference in parenthesis to the title of a Section, the title reference shall govern in case of direct conflict absent manifest error.

 

143

 

Section 11.16       Execution in Counterparts

 

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties 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.

Section 11.18       Confidentiality; Fiduciary Duty

 

Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agree to keep information obtained by it pursuant hereto and the other Loan Documents confidential in accordance with such Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s, as the case may be, customary practices and agrees that it shall only use such information in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and not disclose any such information other than (a) to such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s, as the case may be, employees, representatives and agents that are or are expected to be involved in the evaluation of such information in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and are advised of the confidential nature of such information, (b) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes available to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any other Loan Party, (c) to the extent disclosure is required by law, regulation or judicial order or requested or required by bank regulators or auditors, (d) (i) to current or prospective assignees, participants and Special Purpose Vehicle grantees of any option described in Section 11.2(f) (Assignments and Participations), contractual counterparties in any Hedging Contract permitted hereunder and to their respective legal or financial advisors, (ii) to any actual or prospective party (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives) surety, reinsurer, guarantor or credit liquidity enhancer (or their advisors) to or in connection with any swap, derivative or other similar transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Obligations or to the Borrower and its obligations or to this Agreement or payments hereunder, (iii) to any rating agency when required by it and (iv) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization, in each case and to the extent such assignees, participants, grantees or counterparties agree to be bound by, and to cause their advisors to comply with, the provisions of this Section 11.18.   Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent hereby agrees that the Borrower (and each of its officers, directors, employees, accountants, attorneys and other advisors) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of the Facility and the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including

 

144

 

opinions and other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure.

 

Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and/or their Affiliates.  Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other.  The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person.  Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.  Each Loan Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Loan Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

 

Section 11.19       Patriot Act Notice.

 

Each Lender subject to the Patriot Act hereby notifies the Borrower that, pursuant to Section 326 of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, including the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

 

Section 11.20       Designated Senior Debt

 

All Obligations shall be “Senior Indebtedness”, “Senior Secured Financing” and “Designated Senior Debt” (or any comparable term) for purposes of the Subordinated Note Indentures and any other subordinated Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(b)           Such Grantor shall notify the Administrative Agent immediately if it knows, or has reason to know, (i) that any application or registration relating to any Material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor may become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public, or (ii) of any adverse determination or ruling, or the institution of any judicial or administrative proceeding (including the filing of any action in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any court or tribunal in any country) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of, or the validity of, any Material Intellectual Property or such Grantor’s right to register the same or to own and maintain the same.

 

(c)           Whenever such Grantor, either by itself or through any agent, licensee or designee, shall file an application for the registration of any Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, such Grantor shall report such filing to the Administrative Agent within thirty (30) days after the last day of the fiscal quarter in which such filing occurs.

Such Grantor agrees that, if it shall acquire any interest in any Commercial Tort Claim in excess of $1,000,000 (whether from another Person or because such Commercial Tort Claim shall have come into existence), (i) such Grantor shall, within thirty (30) after such acquisition, deliver to the Administrative Agent, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, a notice of the existence and nature of such Commercial Tort Claim and deliver a supplement to Schedule 7  (Commercial Tort Claims) containing a specific description of such Commercial Tort Claim, (ii) Section 2.1 (Collateral) shall apply to such Commercial Tort Claim and (iii) such Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, any document, and take all other action, deemed by the Administrative Agent to be reasonably necessary or appropriate for the Administrative Agent to obtain, on behalf of the Lenders, a first-priority, perfected security interest in all such Commercial Tort Claims.  Any supplement to Schedule 7 (Commercial Tort Claims) delivered pursuant to this Section 4.8 (Notice of Commercial Tort Claims) shall, after the receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, become part of Schedule 7 (Commercial Tort Claims) for all purposes hereunder other than in respect of representations and warranties made prior to the date of such receipt.

 

Section 4.9                                   Digital Cinema Equipment

 

Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees that, in the event that any Digital Cinema Equipment owned by such Grantor (excluding any leasehold interests) (i) is no longer intended in good faith to be, or reasonably expected to be, sold or contributed to a DCIP Entity under a DCIP Investment Transaction or (ii) has not been sold or contributed to a DCIP Entity under a DCIP Investment Transaction within 270 days after the acquisition of such Digital Cinema Equipment by such Grantor (or with respect to any Digital Cinema Equipment owned by such Grantor prior to the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, 270 days after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date) (such Digital Cinema Equipment in either clause (i) or (ii) being the “Subject Property”), it shall promptly enter into a supplement to this Agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, granting the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a lien on the Subject Property (and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.2 (Grant of Security Interest in Collateral) hereof, the Subject Property shall then constitute Collateral) and shall, at Borrower’s expense, cause to be filed such UCC-1 financing statements as necessary to perfect such lien and shall execute and deliver such other certificates and documents and take such other actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing.  Each Grantor hereby authorizes the filing of any financing statements or continuation statements, and amendments to financing statements, or any similar document in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as Administrative Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted to Administrative Agent in respect of the Subject Property.  Such

 

13

 

financing statements may describe the Subject Property and any other Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as Administrative Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Subject Property and the other Collateral granted to Administrative Agent herein or in any such supplement to this Agreement, including describing such property as “all assets” or “all personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired”.  Such Grantor will furnish to Administrative Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Subject Property and other Collateral and such other reports in connection with the assets and property of such Grantor as Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.9 (Digital Cinema Equipment), unless otherwise approved by the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), no such financing statement or financing statement amendment filed by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent shall cover or purport to cover Digital Cinema Equipment (other than Subject Property).

 

ARTICLE V                                                      REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

 

Section 5.1                                   Code and Other Remedies

 

During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon any Collateral, and may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver any Collateral (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption of any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released.  Each Grantor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places that the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere.  The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.1, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent and any other Secured Party hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as the Credit Agreement shall prescribe, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights

 

14

 

hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

 

Section 5.2                                   Accounts and Payments in Respect of General Intangibles

 

(a)           In addition to, and not in substitution for, any similar requirement in the Credit Agreement, if required by the Administrative Agent at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payment of Accounts or payment in respect of General Intangibles, when collected by any Grantor, shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, in a Cash Collateral Account, subject to withdrawal by the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 5.4 (Proceeds to be Turned Over To Administrative Agent).  Until so turned over or turned over, such payment shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Accounts and payments in respect of General Intangibles shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

 

(b)           At the Administrative Agent’s request, during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions that gave rise to the Accounts or payments in respect of General Intangibles, including all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

 

(c)           The Administrative Agent may, without notice, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, limit or terminate the authority of a Grantor to collect its Accounts or amounts due under General Intangibles or any thereof.

 

(d)           The Administrative Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default communicate with Account Debtors to verify with them to the Administrative Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Account or amounts due under any General Intangible.

 

(e)           Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify Account Debtors that the Accounts or General Intangibles have been collaterally assigned to the Administrative Agent and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent.  In addition, the Administrative Agent may at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default enforce such Grantor’s rights against such Account Debtors and obligors of General Intangibles.

 

(f)            Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Accounts and payments in respect of General Intangibles to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any agreement giving rise to an Account or a payment in respect of a General Intangible by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any obligation of any Grantor under or pursuant to any agreement giving rise to an Account or a payment in respect of a General Intangible, to make

 

15

 

any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

 

Section 5.3                                   Pledged Collateral

 

(a)           During the continuance of an Event of Default, upon notice by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any Proceeds of the Pledged Collateral and make application thereof to the Obligations in the order set forth in the Credit Agreement and (ii) the Administrative Agent or its nominee may exercise (A) any voting, consent, corporate and other right pertaining to the Pledged Collateral at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, of the relevant issuer or issuers of Pledged Collateral or otherwise and (B) any right of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other right, privilege or option pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, amalgamation, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or equivalent structure of any issuer of Pledged Stock, the right to deposit and deliver any Pledged Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

 

(b)           In order to permit the Administrative Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions that it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (i) each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Administrative Agent all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request and (ii) without limiting the effect of clause (i) above, such Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable proxy to vote all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Collateral would be entitled (including giving or withholding written consents of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, calling special meetings of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Collateral on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other person (including the issuer of such Pledged Collateral or any officer or agent thereof) during the continuance of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate upon the payment in full of the Secured Obligations.

 

(c)           Each Grantor hereby expressly authorizes and instructs each issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by such Grantor to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that such issuer shall be fully protected in so complying and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividend or other payment with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to the Administrative Agent.

 

16

 

(d)           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights of the Grantor granting the security interest in any Pledged Stock, and a transferee or assignee of such Pledged Stock shall become a holder of such Pledged Stock to the same extent as such Grantor and be entitled to participate in the management of the issuer of such Pledged Stock and, upon the transfer of the entire interest of such Grantor, such Grantor shall, by operation of law, cease to be a holder of such Pledged Stock.

 

Section 5.4                                   Proceeds to be Turned Over To Administrative Agent

 

Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Credit Agreement, all Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent hereunder in cash or Cash Equivalents shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a Cash Collateral Account.  All Proceeds while held by the Administrative Agent in a Cash Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent) shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in the Credit Agreement.

 

Section 5.5                                   Securities Act, Etc.

 

(a)           Each Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise or may determine that a public sale is impracticable or not commercially reasonable and, accordingly, may resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers that shall be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.  The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.

 

(b)           Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Section 5.5 valid and binding and in compliance with all other applicable Requirements of Law.  Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any covenant contained in this Section 5.5 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and other Secured Parties, that the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 5.5 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement.

 

Section 5.6                                   Deficiency

 

Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorney employed by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

 

17

 

ARTICLE VI                                                  THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

 

Section 6.1                                   Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact

 

(a)           Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any appropriate action and to execute any document or instrument that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any of the following:

 

(i)            in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any check, draft, note, acceptance or other instrument for the payment of moneys due under any Account or General Intangible or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any such moneys due under any Account or General Intangible or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

 

(ii)           in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any agreement, instrument, document or paper as the Administrative Agent may request to evidence the Administrative Agent’s security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and General Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

 

(iii)          pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repair or pay any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement (including all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof);

 

(iv)          execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.1 (Code and Other Remedies) or 5.5 (Registration Rights), any endorsement, assignment or other instrument of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; or

 

(v)           (A) direct any party liable for any payment under any Collateral to make payment of any moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct, (B) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral, (C) sign and indorse any invoice, freight or express bill, bill of lading, storage or warehouse receipt, draft against debtors, assignment, verification, notice and other document in connection with any Collateral, (D) commence and prosecute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect any Collateral and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral, (E) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral, (F) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate, (G) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Trademark pertains) throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and

 

18

 

in such manner as the Administrative Agent shall in its sole discretion determine, including the execution and filing of any document necessary to effectuate or record such assignment and (H) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things that the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

 

Anything in this clause (a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent agrees that it shall not exercise any right under the power of attorney provided for in this clause (a) unless an Event of Default shall be continuing.

 

(b)           If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

 

(c)           The expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Administrative Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent on demand.

 

(d)           Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.  All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

 

Section 6.2                                   Duty of Administrative Agent

 

The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account.  Neither the Administrative Agent, any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any Collateral. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers.  The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

19

 

Section 6.3                                   Authorization of Financing Statements

 

Each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, counsel and other representatives, at any time and from time to time, to file or record financing statements, amendments to financing statements, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, and such financing statements and amendments may described the Collateral covered thereby as “all assets of the debtor”, “all personal property of the debtor” or words of similar effect.  Each Grantor hereby also authorizes the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, counsel and other representatives, at any time and from time to time, to file continuation statements with respect to previously filed financing statements.  A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.

 

Section 6.4                                   Authority of Administrative Agent

 

Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and the Grantors, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

Section 7.1                                   Amendments in Writing

 

None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 11.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.) of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that annexes to this Agreement may be supplemented (but no existing provisions may be modified and no Collateral may be released) through Pledge Amendments and Joinder Agreements, in substantially the form of Annex 1 (Form of Pledge Amendment) and Annex 2 (Form of Joinder Agreement) respectively, in each case duly executed by the Administrative Agent and each Grantor directly affected thereby.

 

Section 7.2                                   Notices

 

All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Grantor shall be addressed to the Company’s notice address set forth in such Section 11.8.

 

20

 

Section 7.3                                   No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies

 

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 7.1 (Amendments in Writing)), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default.  No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion.

Section 7.11                            Release of Collateral

 

(a)           At the time provided in Section 10.8(b)(i) (Concerning the Collateral and the Collateral Documents) of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral shall be released from the Lien created hereby and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors.  At the request and sole expense of any Grantor following any such termination, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Grantor any Collateral of such Grantor held by the Administrative Agent hereunder and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

 

(b)           If the Administrative Agent shall be directed or permitted pursuant to Section 10.8(b)(ii) or (iii) (Concerning the Collateral and the Collateral Documents) of the Credit Agreement to release any Lien created hereby upon any Collateral (including any Collateral sold or disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement), such Collateral shall be released from the Lien created hereby to the extent provided under, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, Section 10.8(b)(ii) or (iii) (Concerning the Collateral and the Collateral Documents) of the Credit Agreement.

At the request and sole expense of the Company, a Grantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the capital stock of such Grantor shall be so sold or disposed; provided, however, that the Company shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, at least ten Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release identifying the relevant Grantor and the terms of the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification by the Company in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

22

 

Section 7.12                            Reinstatement

 

Each Grantor further agrees that, if any payment made by any Loan Party or other Person and applied to the Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of Collateral are required to be returned by any Secured Party to such Loan Party, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including any Grantor, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made or, if prior thereto the Lien granted hereby or other Collateral securing such liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of such cancellation or surrender), such Lien or other Collateral shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect any Lien or other Collateral securing the obligations of any Grantor in respect of the amount of such payment.
