conditions  of  this  Agreement,  GWH  shall  sell,  assign  and  transfer  to  ZEP,  and  put  ZEP  in

2.2

Further ZEP Obligations.

The   Parties   agree   that   subject   to   the   Project

Development Budget attached hereto as Exhibit B, ZEP will from the Effective Date forward:

(a)

fund  any  and  all  project  related  cost  incurred  subsequent  to  the  Closing

Date, especially but not limited to, development  disbursements as per the

Project Development  Budget attached hereto as Exhibit  B: ZEP agrees to

provide the financing necessary for the full development of the Project in

a  Timely Manner,  as  defined  below, according to  Exhibit  B, sufficient  to

develop  the  Project  to  have  all  permits  and  approvals  necessary  for

construction   of   the   Project   (excluding   construction   engineering   and

closing a sale of power from the Project (“Power Purchase Agreement”

or  “PPA”,  which  may  require  equity  commitments,  however  including

PPA  negotiations).    Timely  Manner  shall  mean  that  the  Parties  will

jointly  agree  on  a  schedule  for  a  date  upon  which  the  Project  shall

achieve  commercial  operation  (the  “COD”)   with  the  understanding  that

certain  expenses  will  be incurred  with  certain   flexibility as  to the timing

of  the  expenses,  (i.e.  expenses  with  no  hard  deadlines  where  delays

would  not  competitively  disadvantage  the  Project  (the  “Time  Flexible

Expenses”,   e.g.   archaeological   study),   as   opposed   to   expenses   with

deadlines  that,  if  missed,  would  competitively  disadvantage  the  Project

(the  “Time  Critical  Expenses”,  e.g.  deposit  for  interconnection  studies,

which,   if   not   paid   could   result   in   losing   an   interconnection   queue

position,  hurting  the  competitiveness  of  the  Project).  GWH  shall  notify

ZEP  of  any  Time  Critical  Expenses  with  the  respective  deadline  and

request  the  necessary  funds.  In  the  event  ZEP  fails  to  fund  Time  Critical

Expenses  prior  to the  deadline  communicated  by GWH,  the  Project  shall

immediately   be   deemed   discontinued   by   ZEP   (the   “Discontinued

Project”);

(b)

obtain  or  assume  any  related  expense  associated  with  a  letter  of  credit

which may be necessary to secure the Project’s interconnection;

(c)

pay  any  expenses  related  to  securing  a  PPA  for  the  Project,  excluding

equity commitments;

(d)

reimburse  GWH  the  recent  Midwest  ISO  deposit  made  for  the  Project  in

the  amount  of  $260,000.00     The  reimbursement  shall  be  paid  in  two

installments.   $120,000  shall  be  due  within  45  days  of  the  Closing  Date

and  $140,000  shall  be  due  within  90  days  of  the  Closing  Date,  both

subject to prior invoicing from GWH; and

(e)

enter  into  a  an  agreement  with  GWH  whereby  GWH  is  contracted  to

carry  out  the  Timely  Development  of  the  Project  (the  “Development

Service  Agreement”  or  “DSA”)  substantially similar  to  the one attached

as Exhibit D.

3.

Transfer of Assets.

Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, GWH herewith transfers all Project-related

assets as per Exhibit A into Thunder Spirit.

contemplated  by  this  Agreement  (if  any),  in  the  form  and  substance  reasonably  satisfactory  to

ZEP.

6.2

Substitution.  In  the  event  GWH  is  unable  to  obtain  the  consents  described  in  6.1

or  the  consents  are  not  obtained  within  90  days  of  the  Closing  Date,  GWH  shall  be  permitted  to

substitute  for  the  GWH  Interests  with  the  same  percentage  of  membership  interests  for  the  same

conditions as set out herein in another project company that GWH owns, subject to acceptance by

ZEP,  not  to  be  unreasonably  withheld  (the  “Substitution”).   In  the  event  of  the  Substitution,  the

the  consummation  of  any  of  the  transactions  contemplated  by  this  Agreement  or  cause  this

Agreement to be rescinded following the Closing Date.

default,  the  non-defaulting  Party  shall  notify  the  defaulting  Party  of  a  default  in  writing,  and  the

defaulting Party shall have 60 days to cure or longer if mutually agreed to by both Parties.

10.

development  of  the  Project  or  in  case  of  a  Discontinued  Project,  or  in  case  any default  by ZEP  is

not  cured  by  ZEP,  GWH  shall  have  the  right,  but  not  the  requirement,  to  repurchase  the  Project

under  the  same  payment  terms  as  this  Agreement,  with  the  amount  due  and  payable  to  ZEP  only

upon  start  of  construction  of  the  Project  (the  “Repurchase”).   In  the  event  of  a  Repurchase,  ZEP

agrees  to  execute  all  documents  necessary  to  complete  and  evidence  the  Repurchase  in  a  timely

manner.

10.2

Right  of  First  Refusal.   If,  after  the  Closing Date,  GWH  chooses  to  sell  or  assign

its  remaining  25%  of  the  GWH  Interests  to  any  entity  other  than  an  affiliate,  ZEP  shall  have  a

right  of  first  refusal  to  match  any  market  offer  that  GWH  receives  for  the  remaining  GWH

Interests  (the  “Right  of  First  Refusal”).   The  Right  of  First  Refusal  shall  be  executed  by  ZEP

within  30  days  of  receiving  notice  from  GWH  that  it  has  received  an  arm’s  length  market  offer

for  the  remaining  GWH  interests.    In  the  event  ZEP  exercises  the  Right  of  First  Refusal  and

matches  the  market  offer, GWH  shall  be required to accept  the  offer  and sell  its remaining GWH

Interests to  ZEP.   In  the  event  ZEP  fails to  exercise  its Right  of  First  Refusal,  GWH  shall  be  free

to accept any market offer for the remaining GWH Interests.

Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans.  If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Swing Line Loan may not be converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan.

 

(b)   Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage under the

 

36

 

applicable Facility of the applicable Term A Loans or Revolving Credit Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in Section 2.02(a).  In the case of a Term A Borrowing or a Revolving Credit Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than 1:00 p.m., in the case of any Loan denominated in Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent, in the case of any Loan in an Alternative Currency, in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice.  Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.03 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Sections 4.01 and 4.02), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date a Committed Loan Notice with respect to a Revolving Credit Borrowing is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to the Borrower as provided above.

 

(c)   Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan.  During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) without the consent of the Required Lenders, and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency be prepaid, or redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.

 

(d)   The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate.  At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

 

(e)   After giving effect to all Term A Borrowings, all conversions of Term A Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Term A Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than five Interest Periods in effect in respect of the Term A Facility.  After giving effect to all Revolving Credit Borrowings, all conversions of Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Revolving Credit Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than eight Interest Periods in effect in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility.

2.03         Letters of Credit.

 

(a)   The Letter of Credit Commitment.  (i)  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Revolving Credit Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (x) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Facility, (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Revolving Credit Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit.  Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

 

(ii)           The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit if:

 

(A)          subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date; or

 

(B)           the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Revolving Credit Lenders have approved such expiry date.

 

(iii)          The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

 

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

 

38

 

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

 

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

 

(C)           except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $500,000;

 

(D)          such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or an Alternative Currency or the L/C Issuer does not as of the issuance date of such requested Letter of Credit issue Letters of Credit in the requested currency;

 

(E)           such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or

 

(F)           a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.03(c) exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which the L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

 

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

 

(v)           The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

 

(vi)          The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit

 

39

 

issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

 

(b)   Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.  (i)  Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.  Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be.  In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer:  (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require.  In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require.  Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.

 

(ii)           Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.  Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Credit Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.  Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

 

40

 

(iii)          If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension.  Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.03 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

 

(iv)          Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

 

(c)   Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. (i)  Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof.  In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) the L/C Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Borrower shall have notified the L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Borrower will reimburse the L/C Issuer in Dollars.  In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof.  Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (each such date, an “Honor

 

41

 

Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency.  If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof.  In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice).  Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

 

(ii)           Each Revolving Credit Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral for this purpose) for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

 

(iii)          With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.  In such event, each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

 

(iv)          Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

 

42

 

(v)           Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice ).  No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

 

(vi)          If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing.  If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be.  A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)   Repayment of Participations.  (i)  At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

 

(ii)           If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C

 

43

 

Issuer its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.  The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

 

(e)   Obligations Absolute.  The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

 

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

 

(ii)           the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

 

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

 

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

 

(v)           any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or

 

(vi)          any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

44

 

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

 

(f)    Role of L/C Issuer.  Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.  None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document.  The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.  None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

 

(g)   Applicability of ISP and UCP.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

 

(h)   Letter of Credit Fees.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under

 

45

 

such Letter of Credit; provided, however, any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.17(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the L/C Issuer for its own account.  For purposes of computing the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06.  Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears.  If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Revolving Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

 

(i)    Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer.  The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum specified in the Borrower’s fee letter with Bank of America, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears.  Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand.  For purposes of computing the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06.  In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect.  Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(k)   Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries.

2.04         Swing Line Loans.

 

(a)   The Swing Line.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, may in its sole discretion make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Facility at such time, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Revolving Credit Lender at such time, plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations at such time, plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans at such time shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and provided  further that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04.  Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest only at a rate based on the Base Rate.  Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

 

(b)   Borrowing Procedures.  Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone.  Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day.  Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.  Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof.  Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in

 

47

 

such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower.

 

(c)   Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.  (i)  The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding.  Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Facility and the conditions set forth in Section 4.03.  The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent.  Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

 

(ii)           If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit  Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

 

(iii)          If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing.  If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or funded

 

48

 

participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be.  A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(iv)          Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.03.  No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

 

(d)   Repayment of Participations.

 

(i)            At any time after any Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

 

(ii)           If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate.  The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.  The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

 

(e)   Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender.  The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans.  Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

 

49

 

(f)    Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender.  The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

 

2.05         Prepayments.

 

(a)   Optional.  (i)  Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.05(a)(i), the Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Term A Loans and Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (1) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, (2) four Business Days (or five, in the case of prepayment of Loans denominated in Special Notice Currencies) prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies and (3) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (B) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.  Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage in respect of the relevant Facility).  If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided that not more than two times per fiscal year, such notice, if accompanied by a commitment reduction notice in accordance with Section 2.06, may state that it is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the incurrence of other Indebtedness, the consummation of a particular Disposition or the occurrence of a Change of Control, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified prepayment date) if such condition is not satisfied  Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.  Each prepayment of the outstanding Term A Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied to the principal repayment installments thereof on a pro-rata basis, and subject to Section 2.17 each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of each of the relevant Facilities.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower shall not be permitted to prepay the Term A Facility pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(i) during the period from the Effective Date through the date ten Business Days thereafter.

 

(ii)           The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000.  Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment.  If such

 

50

 

notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

 

(b)   Mandatory.

 

(i)            If the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries Disposes of any property in a transaction permitted under Section 7.05(f) and realizes Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $20,000,000 in any fiscal year, the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of such excess Net Cash Proceeds within five Business Days of receipt thereof by such Person (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clauses (v) and (vii) below); provided, however, that for the purposes of this Section, the amount of any Net Cash Proceeds received in any such Disposition shall be calculated as the sum of the portion of such Subsidiary owned, directly or indirectly, by the Borrower multiplied by the total amount of such Net Cash Proceeds received in such transaction.

 

(ii)           Upon the sale or issuance by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any of its Equity Interests (other than any sales or issuances of Equity Interests to another Loan Party, to a wholly-owned Subsidiary of a Loan Party or to any director, officer, employee, consultant or advisor of the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 50% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by the Borrower or such Subsidiary (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clauses (v) and (vii) below).

 

(iii)          Upon the incurrence or issuance by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.02), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by the Borrower or such Subsidiary (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clauses (v) and (vii) below).

 

(iv)          Upon any Extraordinary Receipt received by or paid to or for the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and not otherwise included in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 2.05(b), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by the Borrower  or such Subsidiary (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clauses (v) and (vii) below); provided, however, that with respect to any proceeds of insurance, condemnation awards (or payments in lieu thereof) or indemnity payments, at the election of the Borrower (as notified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date of receipt of such insurance proceeds, condemnation awards or indemnity payments), and so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower or such Subsidiary may apply within 180 days  after the receipt of such cash proceeds to replace or repair the equipment, fixed

 

51

 

assets or real property in respect of which such cash proceeds were received; and provided, further, however, that any cash proceeds not so applied shall be immediately applied to the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in this Section 2.05(b)(iv); and provided, further, however, that for the purposes of this Section, the amount of any Extraordinary Receipt received by or paid to or for the account of any non-wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Borrower shall be calculated as the sum of the portion of such Subsidiary owned, directly or indirectly, by the Borrower multiplied by the total amount of such Extraordinary Receipt.

 

(v)           Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied, first, to the Term A Facility and to the principal repayment installments thereof on a pro-rata basis and, second, to the Revolving Credit Facility in the manner set forth in clause (vii) of this Section 2.05(b), but without reducing the Revolving Credit Commitment.

 

(vi)          If for any reason the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings at any time exceed the Revolving Credit Facility at such time, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Borrowings and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (other than the L/C Borrowings) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess (unless such excess is a result of the circumstances described in clause (viii) below, in which case such clause shall govern).

 

(vii)         Prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility made pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) (except pursuant to clause (viii) hereof), first, shall be applied ratably to the L/C Borrowings and the Swing Line Loans, second, shall be applied ratably to the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, and, third, but only to the extent an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be used to Cash Collateralize the remaining L/C Obligations; and, in the case of prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility required pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 2.05(b), the amount remaining, if any, after the prepayment in full of all L/C Borrowings, Swing Line Loans and Revolving Credit Loans outstanding at such time and, if so required, the Cash Collateralization of the remaining L/C Obligations in full (the sum of such prepayment amounts, cash collateralization amounts and remaining amount being, collectively, the “Reduction Amount”) may be retained by the Borrower for use in the ordinary course of its business and for other purposes not prohibited hereby.  Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit that has been Cash Collateralized, the funds held as Cash Collateral shall be applied (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to reimburse the L/C Issuer or the Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable.

 

(viii)        If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time that the Outstanding Amount of all Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies at such time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall prepay Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such

 

52

 

Outstanding Amount as of such date of payment  to an amount not to exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit then in effect.

2.06         Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

 

(a)   Optional.  The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Revolving Credit Facility, the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Alternative Currency Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit, or from time to time permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Facility, the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Alternative Currency Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce (A) the Revolving Credit Facility if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the Revolving Credit Facility, (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto, the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations not fully Cash Collateralized hereunder would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, (C) the Alternative Currency Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto, the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies would exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit or (D) the Swing Line Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans would exceed the Swing Line Sublimit.  Not more than two times per fiscal year, a notice to reduce the Aggregate Commitments hereunder may state that it is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the incurrence of other Indebtedness, the consummation of a particular Disposition or the occurrence of a Change of Control, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified commitment reduction date) if such condition is not satisfied.

53

 

(c)   Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Alternative Currency Sublimit, Swing Line Sublimit or the Revolving Credit Commitment under this Section 2.06.

All fees in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Credit Facility shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

54

 

(ii)           If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

 

(iii)          Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(a)   Commitment Fee.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Fee Rate times the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Credit Facility exceeds the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.17.  The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each  March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period for the Revolving Credit Facility.  The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Fee Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Fee Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Fee Rate was in effect.

 

(b)   Other Fees.

 

(i)            The Borrower shall pay to the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the fee letters with the Arrangers.  Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

 

(ii)           The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.

 

55

 

Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

 

2.10         Computation of Interest and Fees.  (a)  All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).  Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

(b)   If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period.  This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under Section 2.03(c), 2.03(h) or 2.08(a) or under Article VIII.  The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive for 90 days following the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

 

2.11         Evidence of Debt.

 

(a)   The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business.  The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon.  Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.  Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records.  Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse

 

56

 

thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

 

(b)   In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

 

2.12         Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

 

(a)   General.  All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time on the date specified herein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States.  If, for any reason, the Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount.  The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage in respect of the relevant Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office.  All payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m., in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent, in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.  If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected on computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

 

(b)   (i)  Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance

 

57

 

upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the applicable Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.  If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.  Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

 

(ii)           Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the applicable Overnight Rate.

 

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

 

(c)   Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent.  If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

 

(d)   Obligations of Lenders Several.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Term A Loans and Revolving Credit Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any

 

58

 

payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

 

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

 

(f)    Insufficient Funds.  If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal and L/C Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and L/C Borrowings then due to such parties.

 

2.13         Sharing of Payments by Lenders.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations in respect of any the Facilities due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) Obligations in respect of any of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Parties at such time) of payment on account of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations in respect of the Facilities then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be, provided that:

 

(i)            if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

 

59

 

(ii)           the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.16 or (C) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

 

The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

 

2.14         Increase in Revolving Credit Facility.

 

(a)   Request for Increase.  Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify all of the Revolving Credit Lenders), the Borrower may from time to time request an increase in the Revolving Credit Facility by an amount (for all such requests, together with the aggregate amount of all increases to the Term A Facility requested pursuant to Section 2.15(a)) not exceeding $200,000,000(1); provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, and (ii) the Borrower may make a maximum of three such requests in the aggregate under this Section 2.14(a) and Section 2.15(a).  At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Revolving Credit Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Revolving Credit Lenders).

 

(b)   Lender Elections to Increase.  Each Revolving Credit Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of such requested increase.  Any Revolving Credit Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment.

 

(c)   Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Revolving Credit Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Revolving Credit Lender of the Revolving Credit Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder.  To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Revolving Credit Lenders

 

(1)           Amount to be reduced at execution of Credit Agreement to the extent the combined amounts of the Facilities exceed $700,000,000.

 

60

 

pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

 

(d)   Effective Date and Allocations.  If the Revolving Credit Facility is increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date.

 

(e)   Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase.  As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by each Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.14, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01, (B) no Default exists, and (C) after giving pro  forma effect to the application of proceeds of Loans to be made on the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date the Borrower would be in compliance with Section 7.11 as of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower most recently ended.  The Borrower shall prepay any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on the Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Revolving Credit Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section.  The Applicable Rate for any such increase will be determined by the Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders (including any new Revolving Credit Lenders) at the time such increase is made; provided that if such Applicable Rate would exceed the Applicable Rate for the Revolving Credit Facility or the Term A Facility, the Applicable Rate for the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term A Facility (including any prior increases to the Revolving Credit Facility or Term A Facility) shall be automatically increased to equal the Applicable Rate on the new Revolving Credit Loans or new Term A Loans.

 

(f)    Conflicting Provisions.  This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.

 

2.15         Increase in Term A Facility.

 

(a)   Request for Increase.  Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify all of the Term A Lenders), the Borrower may from time to time request an increase in the Term A Loans by an amount (for all such

 

61

 

requests, together with the aggregate amount of all increases to the Revolving Credit Facility requested pursuant to Section 2.14(a)) not exceeding $200,000,000(2); provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 with respect to the Term A Facility, and (ii) the Borrower may make a maximum of three such requests in the aggregate under Section 2.14(a) and this Section 2.15(a).  At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Term A Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Term A Lenders).

 

(b)   Lender Elections to Increase.  Each Term A Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Term A Loans and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its ratable portion (based on such Term A Lender’s Applicable Percentage in respect of the Term A Facility) of such requested increase.  Any Term A Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Term A Loans.

 

(c)   Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Term A Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Term A Lender of the Term A Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder.  To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Term A Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

 

(d)   Effective Date and Allocations.  If the Term A Loans are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Term A Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Term A Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Term A Increase Effective Date.  As of the Term A Increase Effective Date, the amortization schedule for the Term A Loans set forth in Section 2.07(b) shall be amended to increase the then-remaining unpaid installments of principal by an aggregate amount equal to the additional Term A Loans being made on such date, such aggregate amount to be applied to increase such installments ratably in accordance with the amounts in effect immediately prior to the Term A Increase Effective Date.  Such amendment may be signed by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders.

 

(e)   Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase.  As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the Term A Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by each Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Term A

 

(2)           Amount to be reduced at execution of Credit Agreement to the extent the combined amounts of the Facilities exceed $700,000,000.

 

62

 

Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.15, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01, (B) no Default exists, and (C) after giving pro  forma effect to the application of proceeds of Loans to be made on the Term A Increase Effective Date the Borrower would be in compliance with Section 7.11 as of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower most recently ended.  The additional Term A Loans shall be made by the Term A Lenders participating therein pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.02.  The Applicable Rate for any additional Term A Loans will be determined by the Borrower and the Term A Lenders (including any new Term A Lenders) at the time such additional Term A Loan is made; provided that if such Applicable Rate would exceed the Applicable Rate for the Term A Facility or the Revolving Credit Facility, the Applicable Rate for the Term A Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility (including any prior increases to the Revolving Credit Facility or Term A Facility) shall be automatically increased to equal the Applicable Rate on the new Term A Loans or new Revolving Credit Loans.

 

(f)    Conflicting Provisions.  This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.

 

2.16         Cash Collateral.

 

(a)   Certain Credit Support Events.  Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations.  At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

 

(b)   Grant of Security Interest.  All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America.  The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.16(c).  If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to

 

63

 

the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

 

(c)   Application.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.16 or Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.17 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

 

(d)   Release.  Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 10.06(b)(vi))) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.16 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.03), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

 

2.17         Defaulting Lenders. Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

 

(i)            Waivers and Amendments.  That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01.

 

(ii)           Reallocation of Payments.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion 

 

64

 

thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.17(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 

(iii)          Certain Fees.  That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.09(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.03(h).

 

(iv)          Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04, the “Applicable Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Credit Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of that Lender.

 

65

 

(b)   Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

 

ARTICLE III
 TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

 

3.01         Taxes.

 

(a)   Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.  (i)  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes.  If, however, applicable Laws require the Borrower  or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

 

(ii)           If the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

 

66

 

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

 

(c)   Tax Indemnifications.  (i)  Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, the Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by the Borrower  or the Administrative Agent or paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  The Borrower shall also, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or the L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) of this subsection.  A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(ii)           Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender and the L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Borrower or  the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Borrower or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e).  Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).  The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

 

(d)   Evidence of Payments.  Upon request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the 

 

67

 

case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

 

(e)   Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.  (i)  Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.

 

(ii)           Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States,

 

(A)          any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower  and the Administrative Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and

 

(B)           each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower  and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower  or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

 

(I)            executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

 

(II)           executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

 

68

 

(III)         executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation,

 

(IV)         in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of  Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

 

(V)           executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

 

(iii)          Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower  and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that the Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.

 

(f)    Treatment of Certain Refunds.  Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or the L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be.  If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such 

 

69

 

Governmental Authority.  This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

 

3.02         Illegality.  If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (whether denominated in Dollars or in an Alternative Currency), or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans in the affected currency or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans denominated in the affected currency shall be suspended and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate and if such Loans are denominated in Dollars, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

 

3.03         Inability to Determine Rates.  If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.  Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (y) in the event of a 

 

70

 

determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

 

3.04         Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.

 

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

 

(i)            impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e)) or the L/C Issuer;

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(b)   Capital Requirements.  If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence 

 

71

 

of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

3.05         Compensation for Losses.  Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

 

72

 

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

 

(b)   any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower;

 

(c)   any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13; or

 

(d)   any failure by the Borrower to make payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency;

 

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

 

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

 

3.06         Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

 

(a)   Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, the L/C Issuer, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.

 

(b)   Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

 

73

 

3.07         Survival.  All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Effective Date specifying its objection thereto.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless each of the conditions specified in Sections 4.01 and 4.02 shall have been satisfied (or waived in accordance with Section 10.01) prior to 5:00 p.m. on June 15, 2011, the Effective Date shall not occur, the Lenders shall have no obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder, the Commitments shall terminate and the Existing Credit Agreement shall remain in full effect.

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit Fees and interest on the Loans, L/C Borrowings and other Obligations arising under the Loan Documents, ratably among the Lenders and the L/C Issuer in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

 

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, L/C Borrowings, to Obligations then owing under Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements and to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer, to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit, ratably among the Lenders, the L/C Issuer, the Hedge Banks and the Cash Management Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them; and

 

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

 

Subject to Sections 2.03(c) and 2.17, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur.  If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.  Each Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank not a party to the Credit Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article IX hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

 

ARTICLE IX

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

 

9.01         Appointment and Authority.

 

(a)   Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and the Borrower shall not  have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

 

(b)   The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Hedge Bank

 

110

 

and a potential Cash Management Bank) and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.  In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X (including Section 10.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

 

9.02         Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

 

9.03         Exculpatory Provisions.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

 

(a)   shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

 

(b)   shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

 

(c)   shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

 

(d)   The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in

 

111

 

good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or the L/C Issuer.

 

(e)   The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

 

9.04         Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

 

9.05         Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

 

9.06         Resignation of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the

 

112

 

Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) 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 the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

 

Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender.  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 L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

 

9.07         Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem

 

113

 

appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 

9.08         No Other Duties, Etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Book Managers, Arrangers, Documentation Agents or Syndication Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder.

 

9.09         Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

 

(a)   to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations (other than Obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements without the consent of the applicable Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank) that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(h) and (i), 2.09 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 

(b)   to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04.

 

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the L/C Issuer or in any such proceeding.

 

114

 

9.10         Collateral and Guaranty Matters.  Each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Cash Management Bank and a potential Hedge Bank) and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

 

(a)   to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank of Hedge Bank shall have been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer shall have been made), (ii) that is sold or transferred or to be sold or transferred as part of or in connection with any sale or transfer permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii)  if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.01;

 

(b)   to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; and

 

(c)   to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(i).

 

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10.  In each case as specified in this Section 9.10, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.10.

 

9.11         Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements.  No Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 8.03, the Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of the Guaranty or any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.

The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

 

118

 

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM.  In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the

 

119

 

Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

 

(e)   Reliance by Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Lenders.  The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof.  The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower.  All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

 

10.03       No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement.  No failure by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the L/C Issuer; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.13), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all reasonable fees, time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including in respect of any matters addressed in Section 3.01), (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of the Borrower’s or such Loan Party’s directors, shareholders or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE

 

121

 

INDEMNITEE; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for material breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(c)   Reimbursement by Lenders.  To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity.  The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).

 

(d)   Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.  No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(e)   Payments.  All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.

 

(f)    Survival.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

 

10.05       Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the

 

122

 

Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment.  The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

 

10.06       Successors and Assigns.

 

(a)   Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.06(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

(b)   Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.06(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

 

(i)            Minimum Amounts.

 

(A)          in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment under any Facility and the Loans at the time owing to it under such Facility or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

 

123

 

(B)           in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, or $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Term A Facility, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

 

(ii)           Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not (A) apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans or (B) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis;

 

(iii)          Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

 

(A)          the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

 

(B)           the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (1) any Revolving Credit Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (2) any Term A Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

 

124

 

(C)           the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding);

 

(D)          the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility; and

 

(E)           notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights of the Lenders to make assignment of their Commitments shall be subject to the approval of any Gaming Board, to the extent required by applicable Gaming Laws.

 

(iv)          Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.  The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

 

(v)           No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment shall be made (A) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

 

(vi)          No Assignment to Natural Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

 

(vii)         No Assignment Resulting in Additional Indemnified Taxes.  No such assignment in respect of any Revolving Credit Commitment shall be made to any Person that, (A) through its Lending Offices, cannot make Loans denominated in the applicable Alternative Currencies to the Borrower or (B) through the making of Loans to the Borrower through its Lending Offices, would subject the Borrower to additional Indemnified Taxes.

 

(viii)        Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the

 

125

 

Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.  Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.06(d).

 

(c)   Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(d)   Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s

 

126

 

participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant.  Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05  to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b).  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08  as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights of the Lenders to grant participations in their Commitments shall be subject to the approval of any Gaming Board, to the extent required by applicable Gaming Laws.

 

(e)   Limitations upon Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04  than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.  A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

 

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

 

(g)   Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 10.06(b), Bank of America may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender.  In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be.  If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto

 

127

 

(including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)).  If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c).  Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

 

10.07       Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors, members and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same or at least as restrictive as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(c) or Section 2.15(c) or (ii) any actual or prospective direct or indirect counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.

 

“Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information or otherwise in accordance with such Person’s customary practices.

 

128

 

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.

 

10.08       Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower  against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have.  The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have.  Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

 

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

 

129

 

10.10       Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  Except as provided in Sections 4.01 and 4.02, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

 

10.11       Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.  Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

 

10.12       Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

 

10.13       Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

 

130

 

(a)   the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);

 

(b)   such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

 

(c)   in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

 

(d)   such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

 

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

 

10.14       Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

 

(a)   GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

(b)   SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.  NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE L/C ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

 

131

 

(c)   WAIVER OF VENUE.  THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

 

(d)   SERVICE OF PROCESS.  EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02.  NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW

 

10.15       Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

 

10.16       No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.  In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and each Lender each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger nor any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the

 

132

 

Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Arranger nor any other Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

 

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

 

10.18       USA PATRIOT Act.  Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Act.  The Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” an anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.

10.21       Nevada Gaming Collateral.  Subject to the release of any Collateral as contemplated by any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall (or through one or more of its agents, sub-agents or sub-collateral agents shall), to the extent required by Nevada Gaming Regulations, retain possession of all pledged securities delivered to it consisting of capital stock of any Nevada gaming licensee or registered intermediary company within the State of Nevada at a location designated and approved by the applicable Gaming Board.

 

10.22       Judgment Currency.  If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into

 

133

 

another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.  The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

AMENDED AND RESTATED SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY

 

This AMENDED AND RESTATED SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY, dated as of                           , 2011, is made by each of the Subsidiaries listed on the signature pages hereto, together with each other Person who may become a party hereto pursuant to Section 15 of this Guaranty, jointly and severally in favor of Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) under the Credit Agreement referred to below, and each of the lenders that are party to such Credit Agreement (each a “Lender”, collectively, the “Lenders”), with reference to the following facts:

 

RECITALS

 

A.            Guarantors are parties to that certain Subsidiary Guaranty, dated as of September 26, 2008 (the “Existing Guaranty”), pursuant to which the Guarantors guaranteed the obligations of Bally Technologies, Inc. ( “Borrower”) under that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of September 26, 2008 (as amended prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), among Borrower, the lenders party thereto and the Administrative Agent.

 

B.            Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent have agreed to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 15, 2011 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), and the Lenders have agreed to provide certain credit facilities to Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

 

C.            As a condition to the availability of such credit facilities, Guarantors are required to enter into this Guaranty and to guaranty the Guarantied Obligations as hereinafter provided.

 

D.            Guarantors expect to realize direct and indirect benefits as the result of the availability of the aforementioned credit facilities to Borrower, as the result of financial or business support which will be provided to Guarantors by Borrower.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce the Lenders to extend the aforementioned credit facilities, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which hereby are acknowledged, Guarantors hereby represent, warrant, covenant, agree and guaranty, and the Existing Guaranty is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, in each case as follows:

 

1.             Definitions.  This Guaranty is the Guaranty referred to in the Credit Agreement and is one of the Loan Documents.  Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined in this Guaranty shall have the meanings given those terms in the Credit Agreement when used herein and such definitions are incorporated herein as though set forth in full.  In addition, as used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings respectively set forth after each:

 

 

“Guaranty” means this Amended and Restated Subsidiary Guaranty, and any extensions, modifications, renewals, restatements, reaffirmations, supplements or amendments hereof, including, without limitation, any documents or agreements by which additional Guarantors become party hereto.

 

“Guarantied Obligations” means all Obligations at any time and from time to time owing to any one or more of the Secured Parties and arising under the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation Obligations at any time and from time to time owing to any one or more Cash Management Banks or Hedge Banks arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements or Secured Hedge Agreements, respectively.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guarantied Obligations and would be owed by Borrower to any Secured Party under the Credit Agreement but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving Borrower.

 

“Guarantors” means the Subsidiaries of Borrower that are parties hereto as indicated on the signature pages hereof, or that become parties hereto as provided in Section 15 hereof, and each of them, and any one or more of them, jointly and severally.

 

2.             Guaranty of Guarantied Obligations.  Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty and promise to pay and perform on demand the Guarantied Obligations and each and every one of them, including all amendments, modifications, supplements, renewals or extensions of any of them, whether such amendments, modifications, supplements, renewals or extensions are evidenced by new or additional instruments, documents or agreements or change the rate of interest on any Guarantied Obligation or the security therefor, or otherwise.  Any term or provision of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the aggregate maximum amount of the Guarantied Obligations for which each Guarantor shall be liable shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such Guarantor can be liable without rendering this Guaranty or any other Loan Document as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer.

 

3.             Nature of Guaranty.  This Guaranty is irrevocable and continuing in nature and relates to any Guarantied Obligations now existing or hereafter arising, subject to Section 16 hereof.  This Guaranty is a guaranty of prompt and punctual payment and performance and is not merely a guaranty of collection.

 

4.             Relationship to Other Agreements.  Nothing herein shall in any way modify or limit the effect of terms or conditions set forth in any other document, instrument or agreement executed by any Guarantor or in connection with the Guarantied Obligations, but each and every term and condition hereof shall be in addition thereto.  All provisions contained in the

 

2

 

Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document that apply to Loan Documents generally are fully applicable to this Guaranty and are incorporated herein by this reference.

 

5.             Subordination of Indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantors to the Guarantied Obligations.  Each Guarantor agrees that:

 

(a)           Any indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owed to any Guarantor hereby is subordinated to the Guarantied Obligations.

 

(b)           If the Secured Parties so request, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any such indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owed to any Guarantor shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Secured Parties and shall be paid over to the Secured Parties in kind on account of the Guarantied Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the obligations of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

 

6.             Statutes of Limitations and Other Laws.  Until the Guarantied Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) shall have been paid and performed in full, all the rights, privileges, powers and remedies granted to the Secured Parties hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised by the Secured Parties at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that any of the Guarantied Obligations may have become barred by any statute of limitations.  Each Guarantor expressly waives the benefit of any and all statutes of limitation, and any and all Laws providing for exemption of property from execution or for evaluation and appraisal upon foreclosure, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Laws.

 

7.             Waivers and Consents.  Each Guarantor acknowledges that this Guaranty may support obligations of Persons other than such Guarantor and, in full recognition of that fact, each Guarantor consents and agrees that the Secured Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or security hereof:

 

(a)           supplement, modify, amend, extend, renew, or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof, including any increase or decrease of the rate(s) of interest thereon;

 

(b)           supplement, modify, amend or waive, or enter into or give any agreement, approval or consent with respect to, the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof or any of the Loan Documents or any additional security or guaranties, or any condition, covenant, default, remedy, right, representation or term thereof or thereunder;

 

(c)           accept new or additional instruments, documents or agreements in exchange for or relative to any of the Loan Documents or the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof;

 

(d)           accept partial payments on the Guarantied Obligations;

 

(e)           receive and hold additional security or guaranties for the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof;

 

3

 

(f)            release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer and enforce any security or guaranties, and apply any security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Secured Parties in the exercise of their commercial discretion may determine;

 

(g)           release any Person or any guarantor from any personal liability with respect to the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof;

 

(h)           settle, release on terms satisfactory to the Secured Parties or by operation of applicable laws or otherwise liquidate or enforce any Guarantied Obligations and any security or guaranty therefor in any manner, consent to the transfer of any security and bid and purchase at any sale; and

 

(i)            consent to the merger, change or any other restructuring or termination of the corporate existence of Borrower or any other Person, and correspondingly restructure the Guarantied Obligations, and any such merger, change, restructuring or termination shall not affect the liability of any Guarantor or the continuing existence of any Liens hereunder, under any other Loan Document to which any Guarantor is a party or the enforceability hereof or thereof with respect to all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations.

 

Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Secured Parties may enforce this Guaranty independently as to each Guarantor and independently of any other remedy or security the Secured Parties at any time may have or hold in connection with the Guarantied Obligations, and it shall not be necessary for the Secured Parties to marshal assets in favor of any Guarantor, Borrower or any other Person or to proceed upon or against and/or exhaust any other security or remedy before proceeding to enforce this Guaranty.  Each Guarantor expressly waives any right to require the Secured Parties to marshal assets in favor of such Guarantor, Borrower or any other Person or to proceed against any other Person or any collateral provided by any other Person, and agrees that the Secured Parties may proceed against any Person and/or collateral in such order as they shall determine in their sole and absolute discretion.  The Secured Parties may file a separate action or actions against any Guarantor, whether action is brought or prosecuted with respect to any other security or against any other Guarantor, Borrower or any other Person, or whether any other Person is joined in any such action or actions.  Each Guarantor agrees that the Secured Parties, Borrower and any other Person may deal with each other in connection with the Guarantied Obligations or otherwise, or alter any contracts or agreements now or hereafter existing between any of them, in any manner whatsoever, all without in any way altering or affecting this Guaranty.  The Secured Parties’ rights hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and the enforceability of this Guaranty shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of the Guarantied Obligations which thereafter shall be required to be restored or returned by the Secured Parties upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person, or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid.  The enforceability of this Guaranty at all times shall remain effective to guarantee payment and performance of the full amount of all the Guarantied Obligations including, without limitation, the amount of all loans and interest thereon at the rates provided for in the Credit Agreement, even though the Guarantied Obligations, including any part thereof or any other security or guaranty therefor, may be or

hereafter may become invalid or otherwise unenforceable as against Borrower or any other Person and whether or not Borrower or any other Person shall have any personal liability with respect thereto.  Each Guarantor expressly waives any and all defenses now or hereafter arising or asserted by reason of (a) any disability or other defense of Borrower or any other Person with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, (b) the unenforceability or invalidity of any security or guaranty for the Guarantied Obligations or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Guarantied Obligations, (c) the cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower or any other Person (other than by reason of the full payment and performance of all Guarantied Obligations), (d) any failure of any Secured Party to marshal assets in favor of such Guarantor or any other Person, (e) except as otherwise required by Law or as provided in this Agreement, any failure of any Secured Party to give notice of sale or other disposition of collateral to such Guarantor or any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of collateral, (f) except as otherwise required by Law or as provided in this Agreement, any failure of any Secured Party to comply with applicable Laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral or other security for any Guarantied Obligation, including without limitation any failure of any Secured Party to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral or other security for any Guarantied Obligation, (g) any act or omission of any Secured Party or others that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or the Guarantied Obligations or any other security or guaranty therefor by operation of law or otherwise, (h) any Law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal obligation, (i) any failure of any Secured Party to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any Person, (j) the election by any Secured Party, in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (k) any extension of credit or the grant of any Liens under Section 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (l) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (m) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, (n) the avoidance of any Liens in favor of any Secured Party for any reason, (o) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against any Person, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the Guarantied Obligations (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding, (p) to the extent permitted, the benefits of any form of one-action rule, (q) any defense based on such Guarantor’s rights under NRS 104.3605, each Guarantor specifically agreeing that this clause (q) shall constitute a waiver of discharge under NRS 104.3605, and (r) any defense or benefit based on NRS 40.430 and judicial decisions relating thereto and NRS 40.451 et seq. and judicial decisions relating thereto, each Guarantor agreeing that the waiver in this clause (r) is intended to take advantage of the two (2) waivers permitted by NRS 40.495 (1) and (2) to the maximum extent permitted.

 

8.             Condition of Borrower and its Subsidiaries.  Each Guarantor represents and warrants to the Secured Parties that each Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a continuing basis, financial and other information pertaining to the businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their Properties, and each Guarantor now is and hereafter will

 

5

 

be completely familiar with the businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their Properties.  Each Guarantor hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Secured Party (should any such duty exist) to disclose to any Guarantor any matter, fact or thing related to the businesses, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower or its Subsidiaries or their Properties, whether now known or hereafter known by the Secured Parties during the life of this Guaranty.  With respect to any of the Guarantied Obligations, the Secured Parties need not inquire into the powers of Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof or the officers or employees acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and all Guarantied Obligations made or created in good faith reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be binding and enforceable.

 

9.             Liens on Real Property.  In the event that all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations at any time are secured by any one or more deeds of trust or mortgages or other instruments creating or granting Liens on any interests in real Property, each Guarantor authorizes the Secured Parties, upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, at their sole option, without notice or demand and without affecting any Guarantied Obligations of any Guarantor, the enforceability of this Guaranty, or the validity or enforceability of any Liens of any Secured Party on any Collateral, to foreclose any or all of such deeds of trust or mortgages or other instruments by judicial or nonjudicial sale.  Each Guarantor expressly waives any defenses to the enforcement of this Guaranty or any rights of any Secured Party created or granted hereby or to the recovery by the Secured Parties against Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person liable therefor of any deficiency after a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale, even though such a foreclosure or sale may impair the subrogation rights of any Guarantor or may preclude any Guarantor from obtaining reimbursement or contribution from Borrower.  Each Guarantor expressly waives any defenses or benefits that may be derived from NRS Section 40.451, et seq. and judicial decisions relating thereto, or comparable provisions of Nevada Law which are comparable to California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 580a, 580b, 580d or 726, or comparable provisions of the Laws of any other jurisdiction, and all other suretyship defenses it otherwise might or would have under Nevada Law or other applicable Law.  Each Guarantor expressly waives any right to receive notice of any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale of any real Property or interest therein subject to any such deeds of trust or mortgages or other instruments and any Guarantor’s or any other Person’s failure to receive any such notice shall not impair or affect Guarantors’ Obligations or the enforceability of this Guaranty or any rights of any Secured Party created or granted hereby.

 

10.           Waiver of Rights of Subrogation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere contained herein or in any other Loan Document to which any Guarantor is a party, Guarantors hereby so long as the Guarantied Obligations other than contingent indemnification obligations remain outstanding expressly postpone with respect to Borrower and its successors and assigns (including any surety) and any other Person which is directly or indirectly a creditor of Borrower or any surety for Borrower, any and all rights at Law or in equity to subrogation, to reimbursement, to exoneration, to contribution, to setoff or to any other rights that could accrue to a surety against a principal, to a guarantor against a maker or obligor, to an accommodation party against the party accommodated, or to a holder or transferee against a maker, and which Guarantors may have or hereafter acquire against Borrower or any other such Person in connection with or as a result of Guarantors’ execution, delivery and/or performance of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document to which any Guarantor is a party.  Guarantors agree

 

6

 

that so long as the Guarantied Obligations other than contingent indemnification obligations remain outstanding they shall not have or assert any such rights against Borrower or their successors and assigns or any other Person (including any surety) which is directly or indirectly a creditor of Borrower or any surety for Borrower, either directly or as an attempted setoff to any action commenced against Guarantors by Borrower (as a borrower or in any other capacity), the Secured Parties or any other such Person.  Guarantors hereby acknowledge and agree that this waiver is intended to benefit Borrower and the Secured Parties and shall not limit or otherwise affect Guarantors’ liability hereunder, under any other Loan Document to which any Guarantor is a party, or the enforceability hereof or thereof.

 

11.           Right of Contribution; Severability.

 

(a)           Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of all payments made hereunder, provided that all then current Guarantied Obligations are then satisfied, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder who has not paid its proportionate share of all such payments.  The provisions of this Section 11 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.  The “proportionate share” of any Guarantor shall be a fraction (which shall in no event exceed 1.00) the numerator of which is the excess, if any, of the fair value of the assets of such Guarantor over a fair estimate of the liabilities of Guarantor and the denominator of which is the excess (but not less than $1.00) of the fair value of the aggregate assets (without duplication) of all Guarantors over a fair estimate of the aggregate liabilities (without duplication) of all Guarantors.  All relevant calculations shall be made as of the date such Guarantor became a Guarantor.

 

(b)           Additionally, wherever possible, each provision of this Guaranty will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty is prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision will be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty.  Consistent with the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, in the event that any action or proceeding is brought in whatever form and in whatever forum seeking to invalidate the Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty under any fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer theory, or similar avoidance theory, whether under state or federal law, the Guarantor (the “Affected Guarantor”), automatically and without any further action being required of the Affected Guarantor or any Secured Party, shall be liable under this Guaranty only for an amount equal to the maximum amount of liability that could have been incurred under applicable law by the Affected Guarantor under any guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations (or any portion thereof) at the time of the execution and delivery of this Guaranty (or, if such date is determined not to be the appropriate date for determining the enforceability of the Affected Guarantor’s obligations hereunder for fraudulent conveyance or transfer (or similar avoidance) purposes, on the date determined to be so appropriate) without rendering such a hypothetical guaranty voidable under applicable law relating to

 

7

 

fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, or any other grounds for avoidance (such highest amount determined hereunder being the Affected Guarantor’s “Maximum Guaranty Amount”), and not for any greater amount, as if the stated amount of this Guaranty as to the Affected Guarantor had instead been the Maximum Guaranty Amount.  This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Secured Parties under this Guaranty to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and neither the Affected Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to the limitation described in this Guaranty, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of the Affected Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the determination of a Maximum Guaranty Amount for the Affected Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of the second preceding sentence of this Section shall not in any manner reduce or otherwise affect the obligations of any other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

12.           Understandings With Respect to Waivers and Consents.  Each Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth herein are made with full knowledge of their significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense or right waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which such Guarantor otherwise may have against Borrower, the Secured Parties or others, or against any Collateral.  Each Guarantor acknowledges that it has either consulted with legal counsel regarding the effect of this Guaranty and the waivers and consents set forth herein, or has made an informed decision not to do so.  If this Guaranty or any of the waivers or consents herein are determined to be unenforceable under or in violation of applicable Law, this Guaranty and such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

 

13.           Costs and Expenses.  Each Guarantor agrees to pay to the Secured Parties all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) actually incurred by the Secured Parties in the enforcement or attempted enforcement of this Guaranty, whether or not an action is filed in connection therewith, and in connection with any waiver or amendment of any term or provision hereof.  All reasonable advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (including the reasonably allocated cost of legal counsel employed by the Secured Parties), actually incurred or paid by the Secured Parties in exercising any right, privilege, power or remedy conferred by this Guaranty, or in the enforcement or attempted enforcement thereof, shall be subject hereto and shall become a part of the Guarantied Obligations and shall be paid to the Secured Parties by each Guarantor, immediately upon demand, together with interest thereon at the per annum rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Term Facility, or the Default Rate if applicable.

 

14.           Liability.  The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is independent of any other guaranties at any time in effect with respect to all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations, and each Guarantor’s liability hereunder may be enforced regardless of the existence of any such guaranties.  Any termination by or release of any guarantor in whole or in part (whether it be another Guarantor under this instrument or not) shall not affect the continuing liability of any Guarantor hereunder, and no notice of any such termination or release shall be required.

 

8

 

15.           Joinder.  Any other Person may become a Guarantor under and become bound by the terms and conditions of this Guaranty by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent an Instrument of Joinder substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, accompanied by such documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require to establish the due organization, valid existence and good standing of such Person, its qualification to engage in business in each material jurisdiction in which it is required to be so qualified, its authority to execute, deliver and perform this Guaranty, and the identity, authority and capacity of each Responsible Officer thereof authorized to act on its behalf.

 

16.           Release of Guarantors.  This Guaranty shall be terminated and all Guarantied Obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be released when all Guarantied Obligations other than contingent indemnification obligations of each party to any Loan Document have been paid in full in cash or otherwise performed in full and when no portion of both the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Term A Facility remains outstanding.  Upon such release of any or all of Guarantors’ Guarantied Obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall endorse, execute, deliver, record and file all instruments and documents, and do all other acts and things, reasonably required to evidence or document the release of the Secured Parties’ rights arising under this Guaranty, all as reasonably requested by, and at the sole expense of, Guarantors.

 

17.           WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH GUARANTOR AND EACH SECURED PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS GUARANTY, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH GUARANTOR AND EACH SECURED PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY GUARANTOR OR SECURED PARTY MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

 

18.           CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; CHOICE OF FORUM.

 

(a)           ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS GUARANTY, EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS.  EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH COURTS LACK

 

9

 

PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER SUCH GUARANTOR, AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM, IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS, THAT SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER SUCH GUARANTOR.  EACH GUARANTOR FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO SUCH GUARANTOR AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH OPPOSITE ITS SIGNATURE BELOW, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE 30 DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING.  EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS WAS IN ANY WAY INVALID OR INEFFECTIVE.  NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE HOLDER OF ANY NOTE TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY GUARANTOR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

 

(b)           EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (a) ABOVE AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

 

19.           THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

2.             Further Assurances.  At any time and from time to time at the request of Secured Party, Grantor shall execute and deliver to Secured Party all such financing statements and other instruments and documents in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party as shall be necessary or desirable to fully perfect, when filed and/or recorded, Secured Party’s security interests granted pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement to the extent that such security interests can be fully perfected by the filing of financing statements.  At any time and from time to time, following Grantor’s failure to comply with the foregoing sentence, Secured Party shall be entitled to authenticate on behalf and in the name of Grantor, file and/or record any or all such financing statements, instruments and documents held by it, and any or all such further financing statements, documents and instruments, and to take all

 

3

 

such other actions, as Secured Party may deem appropriate to perfect and to maintain perfected the security interests granted in Section 3 of this Agreement to the extent that such security interests can be fully perfected by the filing of financing statements.  Before and after the occurrence of any Event of Default, at Secured Party’s request, Grantor shall execute all such further financing statements, instruments and documents, and shall do all such further acts and things, as may be deemed necessary or desirable by Secured Party to create and perfect, and to continue and preserve, an security interest in the Collateral in favor of Secured Party, or the priority thereof, to the extent that such security interests can be fully perfected by the filing of financing statements.  With respect to any Collateral consisting of securities, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights, instruments, documents, certificates of title or the like, as to which Secured Party’s security interest need be perfected by, or the priority thereof need be assured by, possession and/or control of such Collateral, Grantor will, after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, promptly upon demand of Secured Party deliver possession of same in pledge to Secured Party and/or control of such Collateral, as requested by Secured Party, and Grantor will take all actions necessary to vest such possession or control in Secured Party (including delivery of a duly executed control agreement with respect to such Collateral in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party).  With respect to any Collateral consisting of securities, instruments, partnership or joint venture interests or the like, Grantor hereby consents and agrees that the issuers of, or obligors on, any such Collateral, or any registrar or transfer agent or trustee for any such Collateral, shall be entitled to accept the provisions of this Agreement as conclusive evidence of the right of Secured Party to effect any transfer or exercise any right hereunder or with respect to any such Collateral, notwithstanding any other notice or direction to the contrary heretofore or hereafter given by Grantor or any other Person to such issuers or such obligors or to any such registrar or transfer agent or trustee.

 

3.             Security Agreement.  For valuable consideration, Grantor hereby assigns and pledges to Secured Party, and grants to Secured Party a security interest in, all presently existing and hereafter acquired Collateral, as security for the timely payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, and each of them.  This Agreement is a continuing and irrevocable agreement and all the rights, powers, privileges and remedies hereunder shall apply to any and all Secured Obligations, including those arising under successive transactions which shall either continue the Secured Obligations, increase or decrease them, or from time to time create new Secured Obligations after all or any prior Secured Obligations have been satisfied, and notwithstanding the bankruptcy of Grantor or any other Person or any other event or proceeding affecting any Person.

 

4.             Grantor’s Representations, Warranties and Agreements.  Except as otherwise disclosed to Secured Party in writing concurrently herewith, Grantor represents, warrants and agrees that: (a) Grantor will pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes, charges, Liens and assessments against the Collateral, except such as are expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement or are timely contested in good faith, and upon its failure to pay or so contest such taxes, charges, Liens and assessments, Secured Party at its option may pay any of them, and Secured Party shall be the sole judge of the legality or validity thereof and the amount necessary to discharge the same; (b) the Collateral will not be knowingly used for any unlawful purpose or in material violation of any Law, regulation or ordinance, nor used in any way that will void or impair any insurance required to be carried in connection therewith; (c) Grantor will, to the extent consistent with good business practice, keep the Collateral in reasonably good repair, working order and condition, and from time to time make all needful

 

4

 

and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and improvements thereto and, as appropriate and applicable, will otherwise deal with the Collateral in all such ways as are considered good practice by owners of like Property; (d) Grantor will take all steps to preserve and protect the Collateral; (e) Grantor will maintain, with responsible insurance companies, insurance covering the Collateral against such insurable losses as is required by the Credit Agreement and as is consistent with sound business practice, and will cause Secured Party to be designated as an additional insured and loss payee with respect to such insurance, will obtain the written agreement of the insurers that such insurance shall not be canceled, terminated or materially modified to the detriment of Secured Party without at least 30 days prior written notice to Secured Party, and will furnish copies of such insurance policies or certificates to Secured Party promptly upon request therefor; and (f) Grantor will promptly notify Secured Party in writing in the event of any substantial or material damage to the Collateral from any source whatsoever, and, except for the disposition of collections and other proceeds of the Collateral permitted by Section 6 hereof, Grantor will not remove or permit to be removed any part of the Collateral from its place of business without the prior written consent of Secured Party, except for such items of the Collateral as are removed in the ordinary course of business or in connection with any transaction or disposition otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents.

 

5.             Secured Party’s Rights Re Collateral.  At any time (whether or not an Event of Default has occurred), at the expense of Grantor, Secured Party may, to the extent it may be necessary or desirable to protect the security hereunder, but Secured Party shall not be obligated to: (a) pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 6.10 of the Credit Agreement, enter upon any premises on which Collateral is situated upon reasonable notice and examine the same or (b) upon any Event of Default, without notice or demand, to perform any obligation of Grantor under this Agreement or any obligation of any other Person under the Loan Documents.  Grantor shall maintain books and records pertaining to the Collateral in such detail, form and scope as is consistent with Grantor’s past practices.  Grantor shall at any time at Secured Party’s request mark the Collateral and/or Grantor’s ledger cards, books of account and other records relating to the Collateral with appropriate notations satisfactory to Secured Party disclosing that they are subject to Secured Party’s security interests.  Secured Party shall at all times on reasonable notice have full access to and the right to audit any and all of Grantor’s books and records pertaining to the Collateral, and to confirm and verify the value of the Collateral and to do whatever else Secured Party reasonably may deem necessary or desirable to protect its interests; provided, however, that any such action which involves communicating with customers of Grantor shall be carried out by Secured Party through Grantor’s independent auditors unless Secured Party shall then have the right directly to notify obligors on the Collateral as provided in Section 9.  Secured Party shall be under no duty or obligation whatsoever to take any action to preserve any rights of or against any prior or other parties in connection with the Collateral, to exercise any voting rights or managerial rights with respect to any Collateral, whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred, or to make or give any presentments, demands for performance, notices of non-performance, protests, notices of protests, notices of dishonor or notices of any other nature whatsoever in connection with the Collateral or the Secured Obligations.  Secured Party shall be under no duty or obligation whatsoever to take any action to protect or preserve the Collateral or any rights of Grantor therein, or to make collections or enforce payment thereon, or to participate in any foreclosure or other proceeding in connection therewith.

 

5

 

6.             Collections on the Collateral.  Except as otherwise provided in any Loan Document, Grantor shall have the right to use, dispose of and to continue to make collections on and receive dividends and other proceeds of all of the Collateral in the ordinary course of business so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the option of Secured Party, except as prohibited by applicable Law, Grantor’s right to make collections on and receive dividends and other proceeds of the Collateral and to use or dispose of such collections and proceeds shall terminate, and any and all dividends, proceeds and collections, including all partial or total prepayments, then held or thereafter received on or on account of the Collateral will be held or received by Grantor in trust for Secured Party and immediately delivered in kind to Secured Party.  Any remittance received by Grantor from any Person shall be presumed to relate to the Collateral and to be subject to Secured Party’s security interests.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party shall have the right at all times to receive, receipt for, endorse, assign, deposit and deliver, in the name of Secured Party or in the name of Grantor, any and all checks, notes, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money constituting proceeds of or otherwise relating to the Collateral; and Grantor hereby authorizes Secured Party to affix, by facsimile signature or otherwise, the general or special endorsement of it, in such manner as Secured Party shall deem advisable, to any such instrument in the event the same has been delivered to or obtained by Secured Party without appropriate endorsement, and Secured Party and any collecting bank are hereby authorized to consider such endorsement to be a sufficient, valid and effective endorsement by Grantor, to the same extent as though it were manually executed by the duly authorized officer of Grantor, regardless of by whom or under what circumstances or by what authority such facsimile signature or other endorsement actually is affixed, without duty of inquiry or responsibility as to such matters, and Grantor hereby expressly waives demand, presentment, protest and notice of protest or dishonor and all other notices of every kind and nature with respect to any such instrument.

 

7.             Possession of Collateral by Secured Party.  All the Collateral now, heretofore or hereafter delivered to Secured Party shall be held by Secured Party in its possession, custody and control.  Any or all of the cash Collateral delivered to Secured Party will be held in an interest bearing account until it is applied in accordance with the terms hereof.  Nothing herein shall obligate Secured Party to invest any Collateral or obtain any particular return thereon.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, whenever any of the Collateral is in Secured Party’s possession, custody or control, Secured Party may use, operate and consume the Collateral, whether for the purpose of preserving and/or protecting the Collateral, or for the purpose of performing any of Grantor’s obligations with respect thereto, or otherwise.  Secured Party may at any time deliver or redeliver the Collateral or any part thereof to Grantor, and the receipt of any of the same by Grantor shall be complete and full acquittance for the Collateral so delivered, and Secured Party thereafter shall be discharged from any liability or responsibility therefor.  So long as Secured Party exercises reasonable care with respect to any Collateral in its possession, custody or control, Secured Party shall have no liability for any loss of or damage to such Collateral, and in no event shall Secured Party have liability for any diminution in value of Collateral occasioned by economic or market conditions or events.  Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care within the meaning of the preceding sentence if the Collateral in the possession, custody or control of Secured Party is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party accords its own property, it being understood

 

6

 

that Secured Party shall not have any responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral.

 

8.             Events of Default.  There shall be an Event of Default hereunder upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.

 

9.             Rights Upon Event of Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party shall have, in any jurisdiction where enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies that Secured Party may have under applicable Law or in equity or under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all rights set forth in Section 6 hereof) or under any other Loan Document, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in any jurisdiction, and, in addition, the following rights and remedies, all of which may be exercised with or without notice to Grantor and without affecting the Obligations of Grantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or the enforceability of the Liens and security interests created hereby:  (a) to foreclose the Liens and security interests created hereunder or under any other agreement relating to any Collateral by any available judicial procedure or without judicial process; (b) to enter any premises where any Collateral may be located for the purpose of securing, protecting, inventorying, appraising, inspecting, repairing, preserving, storing, preparing, processing, taking possession of or removing the same; (c) to sell, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or any part thereof, either at public or private sale or at any broker’s board, in lot or in bulk, for cash, on credit or otherwise, with or without representations or warranties and upon such terms as shall be acceptable to Secured Party; (d) to notify obligors on the Collateral that the Collateral has been assigned to Secured Party and that all payments thereon are to be made directly and exclusively to Secured Party; (e) to collect by legal proceedings or otherwise all dividends, distributions, interest, principal or other sums now or hereafter payable upon or on account of the Collateral; (f) to enter into any extension, reorganization, deposit, merger or consolidation agreement, or any other agreement relating to or affecting the Collateral, and in connection therewith Secured Party may deposit or surrender control of the Collateral and/or accept other Property in exchange for the Collateral; (g) to settle, compromise or release, on terms acceptable to Secured Party, in whole or in part, any amounts owing on the Collateral and/or any disputes with respect thereto; (h) to extend the time of payment, make allowances and adjustments and issue credits in connection with the Collateral in the name of Secured Party or in the name of Grantor; (i) to enforce payment and prosecute any action or proceeding with respect to any or all of the Collateral and take or bring, in the name of Secured Party or in the name of Grantor, any and all steps, actions, suits or proceedings deemed by Secured Party necessary or desirable to effect collection of or to realize upon the Collateral, including any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure thereof or thereon, and Grantor specifically consents to any nonjudicial foreclosure of any or all of the Collateral or any other action taken by Secured Party which may release any obligor from personal liability on any of the Collateral, and Grantor waives any right not expressly provided for in this Agreement to receive notice of any public or private judicial or nonjudicial sale or foreclosure of any security or any of the Collateral; and any money or other property received by Secured Party in exchange for or on account of the Collateral, whether representing collections or proceeds of Collateral, and whether resulting

 

7

 

from voluntary payments or foreclosure proceedings or other legal action taken by Secured Party or Grantor may be applied by Secured Party without notice to Grantor to the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as Secured Party in its sole discretion shall determine; (j) to insure, process and preserve the Collateral; (k) to exercise all rights, remedies, powers or privileges provided under any of the Loan Documents; (l) to remove, from any premises where the same may be located, the Collateral and any and all documents, instruments, files and records, and any receptacles and cabinets containing the same, relating to the Collateral, and Secured Party may, at the cost and expense of Grantor, use such of its supplies, equipment, facilities and space at its places of business as may be necessary or appropriate to properly administer, process, store, control, prepare for sale or disposition and/or sell or dispose of the Collateral or to properly administer and control the handling of collections and realizations thereon, and Secured Party shall be deemed to have a rent-free tenancy of any premises of Grantor for such purposes and for such periods of time as reasonably required by Secured Party; (m) to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Grantor and notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery thereof to such address as Secured Party may designate; provided that Secured Party agrees that it will promptly deliver over to Grantor such mail as does not relate to the Collateral; and (n) to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies of an owner of the Collateral; all at Secured Party’s sole option and as Secured Party in its sole discretion may deem advisable.  Grantor will, at Secured Party’s request, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at places which Secured Party may designate, whether at the premises of Grantor or elsewhere, and will make available to Secured Party, free of cost, all premises, equipment and facilities of Grantor for the purpose of Secured Party’s taking possession of the Collateral or storing same or removing or putting the Collateral in salable form or selling or disposing of same.

 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party also shall have the right, without notice or demand, either in person, by agent or by a receiver to be appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Secured Obligations, to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof and to collect and receive the rents, issues, profits, income and proceeds thereof.  Taking possession of the Collateral shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or notice thereof or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.  The rights, remedies and powers of any receiver appointed by a court shall be as ordered by said court.

 

Any public or private sale or other disposition of the Collateral may be held at any office of Secured Party, or at Grantor’s place of business, or at any other place permitted by applicable Law, and without the necessity of the Collateral being within the view of prospective purchasers.  Secured Party may direct the order and manner of sale of the Collateral, or portions thereof, as it in its sole and absolute discretion may determine, and Grantor expressly waives any right to direct the order and manner of sale of any Collateral.  Secured Party or any Person on Secured Party’s behalf may bid and purchase at any such sale or other disposition.  The net cash proceeds resulting from the collection, liquidation, sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied, first, to the expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale or lease, selling, leasing, collecting, liquidating and the like, and then to the satisfaction of the Secured Obligations in such order as shall be determined by Secured Party in its sole and absolute discretion.  Grantor and any other Person then obligated therefor shall pay to Secured Party on demand any deficiency with regard thereto which may remain after such sale, disposition, collection or liquidation of the Collateral.

 

8

 

With respect to any Collateral consisting of securities, partnership interests, joint venture interests, Investments or the like, and whether or not any of such Collateral has been effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or other applicable Laws, Secured Party may, in its sole and absolute discretion, sell all or any part of such Collateral at private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable in order that the sale may be lawfully conducted.  Without limiting the foregoing, Secured Party may (i) approach and negotiate with a limited number of potential purchasers, and (ii) restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing such Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  In the event that any such Collateral is sold at private sale, Grantor agrees that if such Collateral is sold for a price which Secured Party in good faith believes to be reasonable under the circumstances then existing, then (a) the sale shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable in all respects, (b) Grantor shall not be entitled to a credit against the Secured Obligations in an amount in excess of the purchase price, and (c) Secured Party shall not incur any liability or responsibility to Grantor in connection therewith, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized at a public sale.  Grantor recognizes that a ready market may not exist for such Collateral if it is not regularly traded on a recognized securities exchange, and that a sale by Secured Party of any such Collateral for an amount substantially less than a pro rata share of the fair market value of the issuer’s assets minus liabilities may be commercially reasonable in view of the difficulties that may be encountered in attempting to sell a large amount of such Collateral or Collateral that is privately traded.

 

Upon consummation of any sale of Collateral hereunder, Secured Party shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold.  Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely free from any claim or right upon the part of Grantor or any other Person, and Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable Laws) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of Law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.  If the sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, Secured Party shall not be required to apply any portion of the sale price to the Secured Obligations until such amount actually is received by Secured Party, and any Collateral so sold may be retained by Secured Party until the sale price is paid in full by the purchaser or purchasers thereof.  Secured Party shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to pay for the Collateral so sold, and, in case of any such failure, the Collateral may be sold again.

 

10.           Attorney-in-Fact.  Grantor hereby irrevocably nominates and appoints Secured Party as its attorney-in-fact for the following purposes:  (a) following Secured Party’s request thereof and Grantor’s failure to perform, to do all acts and things which Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to perfect and continue perfected the security interests created by this Agreement and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to preserve, process, develop, maintain and protect the Collateral; (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to do any and every act which Grantor is obligated to do under this Agreement, at the expense of the Grantor so obligated and without any obligation to do so; (c) following Secured Party’s request thereof and Grantor’s failure to perform, to prepare, sign, file and/or record, for Grantor, in the name of the Grantor, any financing statement, application for registration, or like paper, and to take any other action deemed by Secured Party necessary or desirable in order to perfect or

 

9

 

maintain perfected the security interests granted hereby; and (d) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to execute any and all papers and instruments and do all other things necessary or desirable to preserve and protect the Collateral and to protect Secured Party’s security interests therein; provided, however, that Secured Party shall be under no obligation whatsoever to take any of the foregoing actions, and, absent bad faith or actual malice, Secured Party shall have no liability or responsibility for any act taken or omission with respect thereto.

 

11.           Costs and Expenses.  Grantor agrees to pay to Secured Party all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Secured Party in the enforcement or attempted enforcement of this Agreement, whether or not an action is filed in connection therewith, and in connection with any waiver or amendment of any term or provision hereof.  All advances, charges, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by Secured Party in exercising any right, privilege, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the right to perform any Secured Obligation of Grantor under the Loan Documents), or in the enforcement or attempted enforcement thereof, shall be secured hereby and shall become a part of the Secured Obligations and shall be paid to Secured Party by Grantor, immediately upon demand, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate.

 

12.           Statute of Limitations and Other Laws.  Until the Secured Obligations, other than contingent indemnification obligations, shall have been paid and performed in full, the power of sale and all other rights, privileges, powers and remedies granted to Secured Party hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised by Secured Party at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that any of the Secured Obligations may have become barred by any statute of limitations.  Grantor expressly waives the benefit of any and all statutes of limitation, and any and all Laws providing for exemption of property from execution or for valuation and appraisal upon foreclosure, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

 

13.           Other Agreements.  Nothing herein shall in any way modify or limit the effect of terms or conditions set forth in any other security or other agreement executed by Grantor or in connection with the Secured Obligations, but each and every term and condition hereof shall be in addition thereto.  All provisions contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document that apply to Loan Documents generally are fully applicable to this Agreement and are incorporated herein by this reference.

 

14.           Understandings With Respect to Waivers and Consents.  Grantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth herein are made after consultation with legal counsel and with full knowledge of their significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense or right waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which Grantor otherwise may have against Secured Party or others, or against Collateral.  If any of the waivers or consents herein are determined to be contrary to any applicable Law or public policy, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

 

15.           Release of Grantor.  This Agreement and all Secured Obligations of Grantor hereunder shall be released when all Secured Obligations, other than contingent indemnification obligations, have been paid in full in cash or otherwise performed in full and

 

10

 

when no portion of both the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Term Facility remains outstanding.

RECITALS

 

A.            Grantors have granted security interests to the Administrative Agent under a Subsidiaries Security Agreement, dated as of September 26, 2008 (the “Existing Security Agreement”), and desire to amend and restate the Existing Security Agreement pursuant to this Agreement.

 

B.            Grantors have guarantied the obligations of Bally Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Borrower”), arising under or in respect of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 15, 2011, among the Borrower, the Lenders referred to therein, and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent (as it may from time to time be amended, restated, extended, renewed, modified or supplemented, the “Credit Agreement”).  This Agreement is the Subsidiaries Security Agreement referred to in the Credit Agreement and is one of the “Loan Documents” referred to in the Credit Agreement.

 

C.            Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders are making certain credit facilities available to Borrower.

E.             Grantors expect to realize direct and indirect benefits from the execution of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce Secured Party to extend the aforementioned credit facilities, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which hereby is acknowledged, Grantors hereby jointly and severally represent, warrant, covenant, agree, assign and grant, and the Existing Security Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, in each case as follows:

2.             Further Assurances.  At any time and from time to time at the request of Secured Party, Grantors, and each of them, shall execute and deliver to Secured Party all such financing statements and other instruments and documents in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party as shall be necessary or desirable to fully perfect, when filed and/or recorded, Secured Party’s security interests granted pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement to the extent that such security interests can be fully perfected by the filing of financing statements.  At any time and from time to time, following Grantors’ failure to comply with the foregoing sentence, Secured Party shall be entitled to authenticate on behalf and in the name of any Grantor, file and/or record any or all such financing statements, instruments and documents held by it, and any or all such further financing statements, documents and instruments, and to take all such other actions, as Secured Party may deem appropriate to perfect and to maintain perfected the security interests granted in Section 3 of this Agreement to the extent that such security interests can be fully perfected by the filing of financing statements.  Before and after the occurrence of any Event of Default, at Secured Party’s request, Grantors, and each of them, shall execute all such further financing statements, instruments and documents, and shall do all such further acts and things, as may be deemed necessary or desirable by Secured Party to create and perfect, and to continue and preserve, an security interest in the Collateral in favor of Secured Party, or the priority thereof, to the extent that such security interests can be fully perfected by the filing of financing statements.  With respect to any Collateral consisting of securities, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights, instruments, documents, certificates of title or the like, as to which Secured Party’s security interest need be perfected by, or the priority thereof need be assured by, possession and/or control of such Collateral, Grantors, and each of them, will, after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, promptly upon written demand of Secured Party deliver possession of same in pledge to Secured Party and/or control of such Collateral, as requested by Secured Party, and Grantor will take all actions necessary to vest such possession or control in Secured Party (including delivery of a duly executed control agreement with respect to such Collateral in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party).  With respect to any Collateral consisting of securities, instruments, partnership or joint venture interests or the like, Grantors hereby jointly and severally consent and agree that the issuers of, or obligors on, any such Collateral, or any registrar or transfer agent or trustee for any such Collateral, shall be entitled to accept the provisions of this Agreement as conclusive evidence of the right of Secured Party to effect any transfer or exercise any right hereunder or with respect to any such Collateral, notwithstanding any other notice or direction to the contrary heretofore or hereafter given by Grantors, or any of them, or any other Person to such issuers or such obligors or to any such registrar or transfer agent or trustee.

 

3.             Security Agreement.

This Agreement is a 

 

4

 

continuing and irrevocable agreement and all the rights, powers, privileges and remedies hereunder shall apply to any and all Secured Obligations, including those arising under successive transactions which shall either continue the Secured Obligations, increase or decrease them, or from time to time create new Secured Obligations after all or any prior Secured Obligations have been satisfied, and notwithstanding the bankruptcy of any Grantor or any other Person or any other event or proceeding affecting any Person.

 

4.             Grantors’ Representations, Warranties and Agreements.  Except as otherwise disclosed to Secured Party in writing concurrently herewith, Grantors jointly and severally represent, warrant and agree that: (a) Grantors will pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes, charges, Liens and assessments against the Collateral, except such as are expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement or are timely contested in good faith, and upon its failure to pay or so contest such taxes, charges, Liens and assessments, Secured Party at its option may pay any of them, and Secured Party shall be the sole judge of the legality or validity thereof and the amount necessary to discharge the same; (b) the Collateral will not be knowingly used for any unlawful purpose or in material violation of any Law, regulation or ordinance, nor used in any way that will void or impair any insurance required to be carried in connection therewith; (c) Grantors will, to the extent consistent with good business practice, keep the Collateral in reasonably good repair, working order and condition, and from time to time make all needful and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and improvements thereto and, as appropriate and applicable, will otherwise deal with the Collateral in all such ways as are considered good practice by owners of like Property; (d) Grantors will take all steps to preserve and protect the Collateral; (e) Grantors will maintain, with responsible insurance companies, insurance covering the Collateral against such insurable losses as is required by the Credit Agreement and as is consistent with sound business practice, and will cause Secured Party to be designated as an additional insured and loss payee with respect to such insurance, will obtain the written agreement of the insurers that such insurance shall not be canceled, terminated or materially modified to the detriment of Secured Party without at least 30 days prior written notice to Secured Party, and will furnish copies of such insurance policies or certificates to Secured Party promptly upon request therefor; and (f) Grantors will promptly notify Secured Party in writing in the event of any substantial or material damage to the Collateral from any source whatsoever, and, except for the disposition of collections and other proceeds of the Collateral permitted by Section 6 hereof, Grantors will not remove or permit to be removed any part of the Collateral from its place of business without the prior written consent of Secured Party, except for such items of the Collateral as are removed in the ordinary course of business or in connection with any transaction or disposition otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents.

 

5.             Secured Party’s Rights Re Collateral.  At any time (whether or not an Event of Default has occurred), at the expense of Grantors, Secured Party may, to the extent it may be necessary or desirable to protect the security hereunder, but Secured Party shall not be obligated to: (a) pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 6.10 of the Credit Agreement, enter upon any premises on which Collateral is situated upon reasonable notice and examine the same or (b) without notice or demand, upon any Event of Default, to perform any obligation of Grantors under this Agreement or any obligation of any other Person under the Loan Documents.  Grantors shall maintain books and records pertaining to the Collateral in such detail, form and scope as is consistent with Grantors’ past practices.  Grantors shall at any time at Secured Party’s request mark the Collateral and/or Grantors’ ledger cards, books of account and other records relating to the Collateral with appropriate notations satisfactory to 

 

5

 

Secured Party disclosing that they are subject to Secured Party’s security interests.  Secured Party shall at all times on reasonable notice have full access to and the right to audit any and all of Grantors’ books and records pertaining to the Collateral, and to confirm and verify the value of the Collateral and to do whatever else Secured Party reasonably may deem necessary or desirable to protect its interests; provided, however, that any such action which involves communicating with customers of Grantors shall be carried out by Secured Party through Grantors’ independent auditors unless Secured Party shall then have the right directly to notify obligors on the Collateral as provided in Section 9.  Secured Party shall be under no duty or obligation whatsoever to take any action to preserve any rights of or against any prior or other parties in connection with the Collateral, to exercise any voting rights or managerial rights with respect to any Collateral, whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred, or to make or give any presentments, demands for performance, notices of non-performance, protests, notices of protests, notices of dishonor or notices of any other nature whatsoever in connection with the Collateral or the Secured Obligations.  Secured Party shall be under no duty or obligation whatsoever to take any action to protect or preserve the Collateral or any rights of Grantors therein, or to make collections or enforce payment thereon, or to participate in any foreclosure or other proceeding in connection therewith.

 

6.             Collections on the Collateral.  Except as otherwise provided in any Loan Document, Grantors shall have the right to use, dispose of and to continue to make collections on and receive dividends and other proceeds of all of the Collateral in the ordinary course of business so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the option of Secured Party, except as prohibited by applicable Law, Grantors’ right to make collections on and receive dividends and other proceeds of the Collateral and to use or dispose of such collections and proceeds shall terminate, and any and all dividends, proceeds and collections, including all partial or total prepayments, then held or thereafter received on or on account of the Collateral will be held or received by Grantors in trust for Secured Party and immediately delivered in kind to Secured Party.  Any remittance received by Grantors from any Person shall be presumed to relate to the Collateral and to be subject to Secured Party’s security interests.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party shall have the right at all times to receive, receipt for, endorse, assign, deposit and deliver, in the name of Secured Party or in the name of Grantors, any and all checks, notes, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money constituting proceeds of or otherwise relating to the Collateral; and Grantors each hereby authorize Secured Party to affix, by facsimile signature or otherwise, the general or special endorsement of it, in such manner as Secured Party shall deem advisable, to any such instrument in the event the same has been delivered to or obtained by Secured Party without appropriate endorsement, and Secured Party and any collecting bank are hereby authorized to consider such endorsement to be a sufficient, valid and effective endorsement by Grantors, and each of them, to the same extent as though it were manually executed by the duly authorized officer of each Grantor, regardless of by whom or under what circumstances or by what authority such facsimile signature or other endorsement actually is affixed, without duty of inquiry or responsibility as to such matters, and each Grantor hereby expressly waives demand, presentment, protest and notice of protest or dishonor and all other notices of every kind and nature with respect to any such instrument.

 

7.             Possession of Collateral by Secured Party.  All the Collateral now, heretofore or hereafter delivered to Secured Party shall be held by Secured Party in its 

 

6

 

possession, custody and control.  Any or all of the cash Collateral delivered to Secured Party will be held in an interest bearing account until it is applied in accordance with the terms hereof.  Nothing herein shall obligate Secured Party to invest any Collateral or obtain any particular return thereon.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, whenever any of the Collateral is in Secured Party’s possession, custody or control, Secured Party may use, operate and consume the Collateral, whether for the purpose of preserving and/or protecting the Collateral, or for the purpose of performing any of Grantors’ obligations with respect thereto, or otherwise.  Secured Party may at any time deliver or redeliver the Collateral or any part thereof to Grantors, and the receipt of any of the same by Grantors shall be complete and full acquittance for the Collateral so delivered, and Secured Party thereafter shall be discharged from any liability or responsibility therefor.  So long as Secured Party exercises reasonable care with respect to any Collateral in its possession, custody or control, Secured Party shall have no liability for any loss of or damage to such Collateral, and in no event shall Secured Party have liability for any diminution in value of Collateral occasioned by economic or market conditions or events.  Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care within the meaning of the preceding sentence if the Collateral in the possession, custody or control of Secured Party is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party accords its own property, it being understood that Secured Party shall not have any responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral.

 

8.             Events of Default.  There shall be an Event of Default hereunder upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.

 

9.             Rights Upon Event of Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party shall have, in any jurisdiction where enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies that Secured Party may have under applicable Law or in equity or under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all rights set forth in Section 6 hereof) or under any other Loan Document, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in any jurisdiction, and, in addition, the following rights and remedies, all of which may be exercised with or without notice to Grantors and without affecting the Obligations of Grantors hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or the enforceability of the Liens and security interests created hereby:  (a) to foreclose the Liens and security interests created hereunder or under any other agreement relating to any Collateral by any available judicial procedure or without judicial process; (b) to enter any premises where any Collateral may be located for the purpose of securing, protecting, inventorying, appraising, inspecting, repairing, preserving, storing, preparing, processing, taking possession of or removing the same; (c) to sell, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or any part thereof, either at public or private sale or at any broker’s board, in lot or in bulk, for cash, on credit or otherwise, with or without representations or warranties and upon such terms as shall be acceptable to Secured Party; (d) to notify obligors on the Collateral that the Collateral has been assigned to Secured Party and that all payments thereon are to be made directly and exclusively to Secured Party; (e) to collect by legal proceedings or otherwise all dividends, distributions, interest, principal or other sums now or hereafter payable upon or on account of the Collateral; (f) to enter into any 

 

7

 

extension, reorganization, deposit, merger or consolidation agreement, or any other agreement relating to or affecting the Collateral, and in connection therewith Secured Party may deposit or surrender control of the Collateral and/or accept other Property in exchange for the Collateral; (g) to settle, compromise or release, on terms acceptable to Secured Party, in whole or in part, any amounts owing on the Collateral and/or any disputes with respect thereto; (h) to extend the time of payment, make allowances and adjustments and issue credits in connection with the Collateral in the name of Secured Party or in the name of Grantors; (i) to enforce payment and prosecute any action or proceeding with respect to any or all of the Collateral and take or bring, in the name of Secured Party or in the name of Grantors, any and all steps, actions, suits or proceedings deemed by Secured Party necessary or desirable to effect collection of or to realize upon the Collateral, including any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure thereof or thereon, and each Grantor specifically consents to any nonjudicial foreclosure of any or all of the Collateral or any other action taken by Secured Party which may release any obligor from personal liability on any of the Collateral, and each Grantor waives any right not expressly provided for in this Agreement to receive notice of any public or private judicial or nonjudicial sale or foreclosure of any security or any of the Collateral; and any money or other property received by Secured Party in exchange for or on account of the Collateral, whether representing collections or proceeds of Collateral, and whether resulting from voluntary payments or foreclosure proceedings or other legal action taken by Secured Party or Grantors may be applied by Secured Party without notice to Grantors, to the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as Secured Party in its sole discretion shall determine; (j) to insure, process and preserve the Collateral; (k) to exercise all rights, remedies, powers or privileges provided under any of the Loan Documents; (l) to remove, from any premises where the same may be located, the Collateral and any and all documents, instruments, files and records, and any receptacles and cabinets containing the same, relating to the Collateral, and Secured Party may, at the cost and expense of Grantors, use such of its supplies, equipment, facilities and space at its places of business as may be necessary or appropriate to properly administer, process, store, control, prepare for sale or disposition and/or sell or dispose of the Collateral or to properly administer and control the handling of collections and realizations thereon, and Secured Party shall be deemed to have a rent-free tenancy of any premises of Grantors for such purposes and for such periods of time as reasonably required by Secured Party; (m) to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Grantors, or any of them, and notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery thereof to such address as Secured Party may designate; provided that Secured Party agrees that it will promptly deliver over to Grantors such mail as does not relate to the Collateral; and (n) to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies of an owner of the Collateral; all at Secured Party’s sole option and as Secured Party in its sole discretion may deem advisable.  Grantors will, at Secured Party’s request, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at places which Secured Party may designate, whether at the premises of Grantors or elsewhere, and will make available to Secured Party, free of cost, all premises, equipment and facilities of Grantors for the purpose of Secured Party’s taking possession of the Collateral or storing same or removing or putting the Collateral in salable form or selling or disposing of same.

 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party also shall have the right, without notice or demand, either in person, by agent or by a receiver to be appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Secured Obligations, to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof and to

collect and receive the rents, issues, profits, income and proceeds thereof.  Taking possession of the Collateral shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or notice thereof or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.  The rights, remedies and powers of any receiver appointed by a court shall be as ordered by said court.

 

Any public or private sale or other disposition of the Collateral may be held at any office of Secured Party, or at any Grantor’s place of business, or at any other place permitted by applicable Law, and without the necessity of the Collateral being within the view of prospective purchasers.  Secured Party may direct the order and manner of sale of the Collateral, or portions thereof, as it in its sole and absolute discretion may determine, and Grantors, expressly waives any right to direct the order and manner of sale of any Collateral.  Secured Party or any Person on Secured Party’s behalf may bid and purchase at any such sale or other disposition.  The net cash proceeds resulting from the collection, liquidation, sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied, first, to the expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale or lease, selling, leasing, collecting, liquidating and the like, and then to the satisfaction of the Secured Obligations in such order as shall be determined by Secured Party in its sole and absolute discretion.  Grantors and any other Person then obligated therefor shall pay to Secured Party on demand any deficiency with regard thereto which may remain after such sale, disposition, collection or liquidation of the Collateral.

 

With respect to any Collateral consisting of securities, partnership interests, joint venture interests, Investments or the like, and whether or not any of such Collateral has been effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or other applicable Laws, Secured Party may, in its sole and absolute discretion, sell all or any part of such Collateral at private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable in order that the sale may be lawfully conducted.  Without limiting the foregoing, Secured Party may (i) approach and negotiate with a limited number of potential purchasers, and (ii) restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing such Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  In the event that any such Collateral is sold at private sale, each Grantor agrees that if such Collateral is sold for a price which Secured Party in good faith believes to be reasonable under the circumstances then existing, then (a) the sale shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable in all respects, (b) no Grantor shall be entitled to a credit against the Secured Obligations in an amount in excess of the purchase price, and (c) Secured Party shall not incur any liability or responsibility to any Grantor in connection therewith, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized at a public sale.  Each Grantor recognizes that a ready market may not exist for such Collateral if it is not regularly traded on a recognized securities exchange, and that a sale by Secured Party of any such Collateral for an amount substantially less than a pro rata share of the fair market value of the issuer’s assets minus liabilities may be commercially reasonable in view of the difficulties that may be encountered in attempting to sell a large amount of such Collateral or Collateral that is privately traded.

 

Upon consummation of any sale of Collateral hereunder, Secured Party shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold.  Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely free from any claim or right upon the part of any Grantor or any other Person, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable Laws) all rights of 

 

9

 

redemption, stay and appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of Law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.  If the sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, Secured Party shall not be required to apply any portion of the sale price to the Secured Obligations until such amount actually is received by Secured Party, and any Collateral so sold may be retained by Secured Party until the sale price is paid in full by the purchaser or purchasers thereof.  Secured Party shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to pay for the Collateral so sold, and, in case of any such failure, the Collateral may be sold again.

 

10.           Joinder.  Any other Person may become a Grantor hereunder and become bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement by executing and delivering to Administrative Agent an Instrument of Joinder substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, accompanied by such documentation as Administrative Agent may require to establish the due organization, valid existence and good standing of such Person, its qualification to engage in business in each material jurisdiction in which it is required to be so qualified, its authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, and the identity, authority and capacity of each Responsible Officer thereof authorized to act on its behalf.

 

11.           Attorney-in-Fact.  Each Grantor hereby irrevocably nominates and appoints Secured Party as its attorney-in-fact for the following purposes:  (a) following Secured Party’s request thereof and Grantors’ failure to perform, to do all acts and things which Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to perfect and continue perfected the security interests created by this Agreement and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to preserve, process, develop, maintain and protect the Collateral; (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to do any and every act which such Grantor is obligated to do under this Agreement, at the expense of the Grantors, so obligated and without any obligation to do so; (c) following Secured Party’s request thereof and Grantors’ failure to perform, to prepare, sign, file and/or record, for such Grantor, in the name of the Grantor, any financing statement, application for registration, or like paper, and to take any other action deemed by Secured Party necessary or desirable in order to perfect or maintain perfected the security interests granted hereby; and (d) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to execute any and all papers and instruments and do all other things necessary or desirable to preserve and protect the Collateral and to protect Secured Party’s security interests therein; provided, however, that Secured Party shall be under no obligation whatsoever to take any of the foregoing actions, and, absent bad faith or actual malice, Secured Party shall have no liability or responsibility for any act taken or omission with respect thereto.

 

12.           Costs and Expenses.  Each Grantor agrees to pay to Secured Party all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Secured Party in the enforcement or attempted enforcement of this Agreement, whether or not an action is filed in connection therewith, and in connection with any waiver or amendment of any term or provision hereof.  All advances, charges, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by Secured Party in exercising any right, privilege, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the right to perform any Secured Obligation of such Grantor under the Loan Documents), or in the enforcement or attempted enforcement thereof, shall be secured hereby and shall become a part of the Secured Obligations and shall be paid to Secured Party by such Grantor, immediately upon demand, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate.

 

10

 

13.           Statute of Limitations and Other Laws.  Until the Secured Obligations, other than contingent indemnification obligations, shall have been paid and performed in full, the power of sale and all other rights, privileges, powers and remedies granted to Secured Party hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised by Secured Party at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that any of the Secured Obligations may have become barred by any statute of limitations.  Each Grantor expressly waives the benefit of any and all statutes of limitation, and any and all Laws providing for exemption of property from execution or for valuation and appraisal upon foreclosure, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

 

14.           Other Agreements.  Nothing herein shall in any way modify or limit the effect of terms or conditions set forth in any other security or other agreement executed by Grantors, or any of them, or in connection with the Secured Obligations, but each and every term and condition hereof shall be in addition thereto.  All provisions contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document that apply to Loan Documents generally are fully applicable to this Agreement and are incorporated herein by this reference.

 

15.           Understandings With Respect to Waivers and Consents.  Each Grantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth herein are made after consultation with legal counsel and with full knowledge of their significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense or right waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which such Grantor otherwise may have against Secured Party or others, or against Collateral.  If any of the waivers or consents herein are determined to be contrary to any applicable Law or public policy, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

 

16.           Release of Grantors.  This Agreement and all Secured Obligations of Grantors hereunder shall be released when all Secured Obligations, other than contingent indemnification obligations, have been paid in full in cash or otherwise performed in full and when no portion of both the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Term Facility remains outstanding.  Upon such release of Grantors’ Secured Obligations hereunder, Secured Party shall return any pledged Collateral to Grantors, or to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto, and shall endorse, execute, deliver, record and file all instruments and documents, and do all other acts and things, reasonably required for the return of the Collateral to Grantors, or to the Person or Persons legally entitled thereto, and to evidence or document the release of Secured Party’s interests arising under this Agreement, all as reasonably requested by, and at the sole expense of, Grantors.

 

17.           WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH GRANTOR AND SECURED PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH GRANTOR AND SECURED PARTY HEREBY AGREE AND CONSENT THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT

 

11

 

EACH GRANTOR OR SECURED PARTY MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

 

18.           CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; CHOICE OF FORUM.

EACH GRANTOR HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER SUCH GRANTOR, AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM, IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS, THAT SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER SUCH GRANTOR.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this instrument shall not, and shall not be deemed to, pledge, hypothecate, grant a security interest or any other interest in, convey, transfer or otherwise assign (a “Transfer”), in any way (i) any license issued by the Missouri Gaming Commission or any interest in a license issued by the Missouri Gaming Commission, but only to the extent that granting a security interest in any such license would violate applicable Gaming Law,  (ii) any ownership interest in the capital stock or other equity interests of any Subsidiary subject to Missouri Gaming Laws (it being acknowledged that any such interest will be pledged, upon Missouri Gaming Commission approval, pursuant to the Pledge Agreement), or (iii) slot machines located or to be located in the State of Missouri.  Secured Party acknowledges that Missouri Gaming Laws do not presently permit Secured Party to take possession of or foreclose upon any slot machine (as defined by Title 11, Division 45, Section 10.055 of Missouri Code of State Regulations) located or to be located in the State of Missouri unless Secured Party holds a license issued by the Missouri Gaming Commission, or possibly via a different mechanism that the Missouri Gaming Commission would find in compliance with Missouri Gaming Laws (which mechanism could include, subject to the Missouri Gaming Commission’s approval, the sale, transfer or disposition of such slot machines through or to a party holding a Class A license or a supplier’s license issued by the Missouri Gaming Commission).

1.2           Secured Obligations.

 

1.2.1        Trustor makes the grant, bargain, conveyance, sale, transfer and assignment set forth in Section 1.1 and grants the security interest set forth in Article 3 for the purpose of securing the following obligations (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”) in any order of priority that Beneficiary may choose:

 

(a)           Except as specified in Section 1.2.2 below, the payment and performance of all Obligations of Trustor, including, without limitation, (i) payment and performance of all obligations under the Guaranty and (ii) payment and performance of all obligations of Trustor under this Deed of Trust; and

 

(b)           The payment and performance of all future advances and other obligations that Trustor or any other person may owe to Beneficiary and/or any Lenders (whether as principal, surety or guarantor), when a writing evidences Trustor’s and Beneficiary’s agreement that such advances or obligations be secured by this Deed of Trust; and

 

(c)           The payment and performance of all modifications, amendments, extensions and renewals, however evidenced, of any of the Secured Obligations described in clause (a) or (b), above.

 

4

 

1.2.2        Notwithstanding any provision of this Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document, the obligations and liability of Borrower under Sections 5.09, 6.13, 6.14 and/or 10.04 (B)(iii) of the Credit Agreement (and/or under any separate agreement relating to Hazardous Materials which states that it is not secured by real property) and of Trustor to guaranty such specific obligations under the Guaranty are not and shall not be Secured Obligations under this Deed of Trust.

 

1.2.3        To the extent permitted by applicable Law, all persons who may have or acquire an interest in all or any part of the Mortgaged Property will be considered to have notice of, and will be bound by, the terms of the Secured Obligations and each other agreement or instrument made or entered into in connection with each of the Secured Obligations.  Such terms include any provisions in the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents which permit borrowing, repayment and reborrowing, or which provide that the interest rate on one or more of the Secured Obligations may vary from time to time.

 

1.3           Future Advances (NRS 106.300, et seq).  It is the intention of Trustor, Beneficiary and the Lenders that this Deed of Trust is an “instrument” (as defined in NRS 106.330, as amended or recodified from time to time) which secures “future advances” (as defined in NRS 106.320, as amended or recodified from time to time) and which is governed pursuant to NRS 106.300 through 106.400, as amended or recodified from time to time (“NRS” means Nevada Revised Statutes).  It is the intention of the parties that the Secured Obligations include the obligation of Trustor to repay “future advances” of “principal” (as defined in NRS 106.345, as amended or recodified from time to time) in an amount up to the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility not in excess of $400,000,000 in accordance with the definition of Revolving Credit Facility, and that the lien of this Deed of Trust secures the obligation of Trustor to repay all such “future advances” with the priority set forth in NRS 106.370(1), as amended or recodified from time to time.

 

2.             Assignment of Rents and Leases.

 

2.1           Assignment.  Trustor hereby irrevocably, absolutely, presently and unconditionally assigns, transfers and sets over to Beneficiary all of the right, title and interest which Trustor now has or may later acquire in and to the Rents and the Leases, and confers upon Beneficiary the right to collect such Rents and enforce the provisions of the Leases with or without taking possession of the Mortgaged Property.  To the maximum extent permitted by law, this is an absolute assignment, not an assignment for security only.

 

2.2           Grant of License.  Beneficiary hereby confers upon Trustor a license (“License”) to collect and retain the Rents as they become due and payable, so long as no Event of Default, as defined in Section 6.2, shall exist and be continuing.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Beneficiary shall have the right, which it may choose to exercise in its sole and absolute discretion, to terminate this License without notice to or demand upon Trustor, and without regard to the adequacy of Beneficiary’s security under this Deed of Trust.

 

2.3           Collection and Application of Rents.  Provided an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Beneficiary has the right, power and authority to collect any and all Rents and

 

5

 

exercise Trustor’s right, title and interest under the Leases.  Trustor hereby appoints Beneficiary its attorney-in-fact (which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to perform any and all of the following acts, if and at the times when Beneficiary in its sole and absolute discretion may so choose, provided an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing:

 

(a)           Demand, receive and enforce payment of any and all Rents and any other right, title and interest of Trustor under the Leases; or

 

(b)           Give receipts, releases and satisfactions for any and all Rents and any other obligations and duties under the Leases; or

 

(c)           Sue either in the name of Trustor or in the name of Beneficiary for any and all Rents and to enforce any other obligations and duties under the Leases.

 

Beneficiary’s right to the Rents and the Leases does not depend on whether or not Beneficiary takes possession of the Mortgaged Property as permitted under Section 6.3.3.  In Beneficiary’s sole and absolute discretion, Beneficiary may choose to collect Rents and exercise the right, title and interest of Trustor under the Leases either with or without taking possession of the Mortgaged Property.  Beneficiary shall apply all Rents collected by it in the manner provided under Section 6.6.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and Beneficiary is in possession of all or part of the Mortgaged Property and is collecting and applying Rents and exercising any right, title and interest of Trustor under the Leases as permitted under this Deed of Trust, then Beneficiary, Trustee and any receiver shall nevertheless be entitled to exercise and invoke every right and remedy afforded any of them under this Deed of Trust and at law and in equity, including the right to exercise the power of sale granted under Section 1.1 and Section 6.3.7.

 

2.4           Beneficiary Not Responsible.  Under no circumstances shall Beneficiary have any duty to produce Rents from the Mortgaged Property or maintain the Leases except Beneficiary shall not commit waste.  Regardless of whether or not Beneficiary, in person or by agent, takes actual possession of the Land and Improvements, Beneficiary is not and shall not be deemed to be, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

 

(a)           a “mortgagee in possession” for any purpose; or

 

(b)           responsible for performing any of the obligations under any Lease; or

 

(c)           responsible for any waste committed by lessees or any other parties, any dangerous or defective condition of the Mortgaged Property, or any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Mortgaged Property; or

 

(d)           liable in any manner for the Mortgaged Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any part of it.

 

2.5           Leasing.  Without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, Trustor shall not accept any deposit or prepayment of Rents for any period exceeding one (1) month, and Trustor shall not lease the Mortgaged Property or any part of it except strictly in accordance with the Loan

 

6

 

Documents.  Trustor shall not apply any Rents in any manner prohibited by the Loan Documents.

 

3.             Grant of Security Interest.

 

3.1           Security Agreement.  The parties intend for this Deed of Trust to create a lien on and security interest in the Mortgaged Property, and an absolute assignment of the Rents and the Leases, all in favor of Beneficiary.  The parties acknowledge that some of the Mortgaged Property and some of the Rents and Leases may be determined under applicable Law to be personal property or fixtures.  To the extent such Property, Rents or Leases constitute personal property, Trustor, as debtor, hereby grants to Beneficiary, as secured party, a security interest in all such Property, Rents and Leases, to secure payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, and Trustor, as debtor, also has granted a security interest in such Property, Rents and Leases pursuant to the Subsidiaries Security Agreement, executed by Trustor, as grantor, in favor of Beneficiary, as secured party.  This Deed of Trust constitutes a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of Nevada, NRS Chapters 104 and 104A (the “Nevada Uniform Commercial Code”), as amended or recodified from time to time, covering all such Property, Rents and Leases.  To the extent such Property, Rents or Leases are not real property encumbered by the lien created by Section 1.1, above, and are not absolutely assigned by the assignment set forth in Section 2.1, above, it is the intention of the parties that such Property, Rents and/or Leases shall constitute “proceeds, product, offspring, or profits” and/or “rents” of the Land and Improvements, and/or “fees, charges, accounts, or other payments for the use or occupancy of rooms and other public facilities in hotels, motels or other lodging properties,” as applicable (as such terms are defined in and for the purposes of Section 552(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as such section may be modified or supplemented).  Notwithstanding any release of all of the property included in the Mortgaged Property which is deemed “real property” and judicial proceedings to foreclose this Deed of Trust or its satisfaction of record, the term hereof shall survive as a security agreement with respect to the security interest created hereby and referred to above until the repayment or satisfaction in full of all obligations now or hereafter secured hereby.

 

3.2           Financing Statements.  Trustor consents to, and authorizes the filing of, one or more financing statements and such other documents as Beneficiary may from time to time require to perfect or continue the perfection of Beneficiary’s security interest in any Property, Rents or Leases.  Trustor shall pay all fees and costs that Beneficiary may incur in filing such documents in public offices and in obtaining such record searches as Beneficiary may reasonably require.  If any financing statement or other document is filed in the records normally pertaining to personal property, that filing shall never be construed as in any way derogating from or impairing this Deed of Trust or the rights or obligations of the parties under it.

 

4.             Fixture Filing; Construction Mortgage.

 

4.1           Fixture Filing. This Deed of Trust constitutes a financing statement filed as a fixture filing under NRS 104.9502(1) and 104.9502(2) of the Nevada Uniform Commercial Code, as amended or recodified from time to time, covering any Property which now is or later

 

7

 

may become fixtures attached to the Land or Improvements.  In connection therewith, the addresses of Trustor, as debtor, and Beneficiary, as secured party, are as set forth in Section 7.11, below.  Trustor’s organizational number is C7798-1991 and Trustor’s tax identification number is 88-0276064.  The foregoing address of Beneficiary, as secured party, is also the address from which information concerning the security interest may be obtained by any interested party.  The property subject to this fixture filing is described in Section 1.1, above.  Portions of the property subject to this fixture filing as identified in this Section are or are to become fixtures related to the Land.

 

5.             Rights and Duties of the Parties.

 

5.1           Representations and Warranties.  Trustor represents and warrants that, except as previously consented to by Beneficiary in the Credit Agreement or in a writing making reference to this Section 5.1 and subject to the Permitted Encumbrances:

 

(a)           Trustor lawfully possesses and holds fee simple title to all of the Land and Improvements thereon;

 

(b)           Trustor has or will have good title to all Property other than the Land and Improvements;

 

(c)           Trustor has the full and unlimited power, right and authority to encumber the Mortgaged Property and assign the Rents and the Leases;

 

(d)           This Deed of Trust creates a first and prior lien on and security interest in the Mortgaged Property;

 

(e)           The Property includes all property and rights which may be reasonably necessary or desirable to promote the presently contemplated beneficial use and enjoyment of the Land and Improvements;

 

(f)            Trustor owns any Property which is personal property free and clear of any security agreements, reservations of title or conditional sales contracts not of record; and

 

(g)           Trustor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada, and Trustor’s place of business, or its chief executive office if it has more than one place of business, is located at the address specified below.

 

5.2           Taxes and Assessments.  Trustor shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes, levies, charges and assessments, including assessments on appurtenant water stock, imposed by any public or quasi-public authority or utility company which are (or if not paid, may become) a lien on or security interest in all or part of the Mortgaged Property or any interest in it, or which may cause any decrease in the value of the Mortgaged Property or any part of it.  If any such taxes, levies, charges or assessments become delinquent, Beneficiary may require Trustor to present evidence that they have been paid in full, on five days’ written notice by Beneficiary to Trustor.

 

8

 

5.3           Performance of Secured Obligations.  Trustor shall promptly pay and perform each Secured Obligation in accordance with its terms.

 

5.4           Liens, Charges and Encumbrances.  Trustor shall immediately discharge any lien on or security interest in the Mortgaged Property to which Beneficiary has not consented in writing, except any Permitted Encumbrances.  Subject to any applicable rights to contest set forth in the Credit Agreement, Trustor shall pay when due each obligation secured by or reducible to a lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance which now does or later may encumber or appear to encumber all or part of the Mortgaged Property or any interest in it, whether the lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance is or would be senior or subordinate to this Deed of Trust.

 

5.5           Damages and Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds.

 

5.5.1        Trustor hereby absolutely and irrevocably assigns to Beneficiary, and authorizes the payor to pay to Beneficiary, the following claims, causes of action, awards, payments and rights to payment:

 

(a)           All awards of damages and all other compensation payable directly or indirectly because of a condemnation, proposed condemnation or taking for public or private use which affects all or part of the Mortgaged Property or any interest in it; and

 

(b)           All other awards, claims and causes of action, arising out of any warranty affecting all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, or for damage or injury to or decrease in value of all or part of the Mortgaged Property or any interest in it; and

 

(c)           All proceeds of any policies payable because of loss sustained to all or part of the Mortgaged Property; and

 

(d)           All interest which may accrue on any of the foregoing.

 

5.5.2        Trustor shall immediately notify Beneficiary in writing if:

 

(a)           Any damage occurs or any injury or loss is sustained in the amount of $250,000 or more to all or part of the Mortgaged Property, or any action or proceeding relating to any such damage, injury or loss is commenced; or

 

(b)           Any offer is made, or any action or proceeding is commenced, which relates to any actual or proposed condemnation or taking of all or part of the Mortgaged Property.

 

5.5.3        If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Beneficiary chooses to do so, Beneficiary may in its own name appear in or prosecute any action or proceeding to enforce any cause of action based on warranty, or for damage, injury or loss to all or part of the Mortgaged Property, and Beneficiary may make any compromise or settlement of the action or proceeding.  Beneficiary, if it so chooses, may participate in any action or proceeding relating to condemnation or taking of all or part of the Mortgaged Property, and may

 

9

 

join Trustor in adjusting any loss covered by insurance.  Trustor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary its true and lawful attorney-in-fact for all such purposes.  The power of attorney granted hereunder is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.  Trustor shall not settle, adjust or compromise any such action or proceeding without the prior written approval of Beneficiary, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

5.5.4        All proceeds of these assigned claims, other property and rights which Trustor may receive or be entitled to (collectively, “Proceeds”) shall be paid to Beneficiary.  In each instance, Beneficiary shall apply such Proceeds first toward reimbursement of all of Beneficiary’s costs and expenses of recovering the Proceeds, including attorneys’ fees.  Such attorneys’ fees shall include the reasonably allocated cost for services of in-house counsel.  If, in any instance, each and all of the following conditions (the “Restoration Conditions”) are satisfied in Beneficiary’s reasonable judgment within one hundred twenty (120) days following the occurrence of the damage, taking or other event for which the Proceeds are collected, Beneficiary shall permit Trustor to use the balance of such Proceeds (“Net Claims Proceeds”) to pay costs of repairing or reconstructing the Mortgaged Property in the manner described below:

 

(a)           The plans and specifications, cost breakdown, construction contract, construction schedule, contractor and payment and performance bond for the work of repair or reconstruction must all be acceptable to Beneficiary; and

 

(b)           Beneficiary must receive evidence satisfactory to it that, after repair or reconstruction, the Mortgaged Property will be at least as valuable as it was immediately before the damage or condemnation occurred; and

 

(c)           The Net Claims Proceeds must be sufficient in Beneficiary’s determination to pay for the total cost of repair or reconstruction, including all associated development costs and interest projected to be payable on the Secured Obligations until the repair or reconstruction is complete; or Trustor must provide its own funds in an amount equal to the difference between the Net Claims Proceeds and a reasonable estimate, made by Trustor and found acceptable by Beneficiary, of the total cost of repair or reconstruction; and

 

(d)           Beneficiary must receive evidence satisfactory to it that all Leases which Beneficiary may find acceptable will continue after the repair or reconstruction is complete; and

 

(e)           No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

 

If Beneficiary, in the exercise of its good faith, reasonable judgment, finds that such conditions have been met, Beneficiary shall hold the Net Claims Proceeds and any funds which Trustor is required to provide in an interest-bearing account and shall disburse them to Trustor to pay costs of repair or reconstruction monthly as incurred, subject to a 10% retention, to be disbursed upon presentation of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary that repair or reconstruction has been completed satisfactorily and lien-free and security interest-free.  However, if Beneficiary finds that one or more of such conditions have not been satisfied, Beneficiary may apply the Net

 

10

 

Claims Proceeds to pay or prepay (without premium) some or all of the Secured Obligations in such order and proportions as Beneficiary in its sole and absolute discretion may choose.  Any and all Proceeds (including, without limitation, any Net Claims Proceeds) held by Beneficiary from time to time shall be collateral for the Secured Obligations, and Trustor hereby grants to Beneficiary a security interest in and lien on such Proceeds and all rights and remedies available under applicable Laws with respect to such Proceeds, including, without limitation, all rights and remedies under the Nevada Uniform Commercial Code.  Trustor shall execute and deliver to Beneficiary and the Lenders any and all documents reasonably requested by Beneficiary in order to confirm, create and perfect such security interest in and lien on such Proceeds.  In the event that any Proceeds are applied to pay any Secured Obligations, then Beneficiary shall have no obligation to disburse or release such applied Proceeds to Trustor under this Section 5.5.

 

5.5.5        To the extent permitted by Law, Trustor hereby specifically, unconditionally and irrevocably waives all rights of a property owner granted under applicable Law, including NRS 37.115, as amended or recodified from time to time, which provide for allocation of condemnation proceeds between a property owner and a lienholder, and any other Law or successor statute of similar import.  To the extent permitted by Law, Trustor hereby specifically, unconditionally and irrevocably waives all right to recover against Beneficiary or any Lender (or any officer, employee, agent or representative of Beneficiary or any Lender) for any loss incurred by Trustor from any cause insured against or required by any Loan Document to be insured against.

 

5.6           Maintenance and Preservation of Property.

 

5.6.1        Except as permitted in the Credit Agreement, Trustor shall not remove or demolish the Mortgaged Property or any part of it, or alter, restore or add to the Mortgaged Property, or initiate or allow any change in any zoning or other land use classification which affects the Mortgaged Property or any part of it, except as permitted or required by the Credit Agreement or with Beneficiary’s express prior written consent in each instance.

 

5.6.2        If all or part of the Mortgaged Property becomes damaged or destroyed, Trustor shall promptly and completely repair and/or restore the Mortgaged Property in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with sound building practices, regardless of whether or not Beneficiary agrees to disburse insurance proceeds or other sums to pay costs of the work of repair or reconstruction under Section 5.5.

 

5.6.3        Trustor shall not commit or allow any act upon or use of the Mortgaged Property which would violate:  (i) any applicable Law or order of any Governmental Agency, whether now existing or later to be enacted and whether foreseen or unforeseen (except to the extent that noncompliance would not cause a Material Adverse Effect or a License Revocation); or (ii) any public or private covenant, condition, restriction, equitable servitude, Contractual Obligation or right of others affecting the Mortgaged Property.  Trustor shall not bring or keep any article on the Mortgaged Property or cause or allow any condition to exist on it, that could invalidate or would be prohibited by any insurance coverage required to be maintained by Trustor on the Mortgaged Property or any part of it under this Deed of Trust.

 

11

 

 

5.6.4        Trustor shall not commit or allow waste of the Mortgaged Property.

 

5.6.5        Trustor shall perform all other acts which from the character or use of the Mortgaged Property may be reasonably necessary to maintain and preserve its value.

 

5.6.6        None of the Mortgaged Property is located in an area having or identified as having special flood hazards or any similar designation by the United States Department of the Interior not disclosed in the ALTA survey delivered to Beneficiary in connection with the transaction contemplated by the Credit Agreement.

 

5.7           Insurance.

 

5.7.1        Trustor shall maintain the following insurance with respect to the Mortgaged Property:

 

(a)           Trustor shall provide, maintain and keep in force at all times during any period of construction with respect to the portion of the Mortgaged Property affected by such construction a policy or policies of builder’s “all risk” insurance in nonreporting form in an amount not less than the full insurable completed value of such portion of the Mortgaged Property on a replacement cost basis.  The policy or policies shall insure against loss or damage by hazards customarily included within such “all risk” policies and any other risks or hazards which Beneficiary may reasonably specify (and shall include boiler and machinery insurance), and each shall contain a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement (Form 438 BFU or equivalent) in favor of Beneficiary.

 

(b)           Trustor shall provide, maintain and keep in force at all times for all portions of the Mortgaged Property not covered by a policy or policies described in Section 5.7.1(a), above, a policy or policies of fire and hazards “all risk” insurance providing extended coverage, in an amount not less than the full insurable value of such portions of the Mortgaged Property on a replacement cost basis.  The policy or policies shall insure against loss or damage by hazards customarily included within “all risk” and “extended coverage” policies and any other risks or hazards which Beneficiary may reasonably specify (and shall include boiler and machinery insurance), and each shall contain a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement (Form 438 BFU or equivalent) in favor of Beneficiary.

 

(c)           Trustor shall provide, maintain and keep in force at all times for all portions of the Mortgaged Property any policy or policies of business interruption insurance that Beneficiary reasonably requires (including insurance against income loss during a period of at least one (1) year), and each such policy shall contain a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement (Form 438 BFU or equivalent) in favor of Beneficiary.

 

(d)           Trustor shall provide, maintain and keep in force at all times a policy or policies of comprehensive liability insurance naming Beneficiary and the Lenders as additional insureds, on an “occurrence” basis, against claims for “personal injury” liability, including bodily injury, death or property damage liability, with a limit

of not less than One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000).  Such insurance shall be primary and noncontributory with any other insurance carried by Beneficiary and/or any Lender(s).

 

(e)           Trustor shall provide, maintain and keep in force at all times such policies of worker’s compensation insurance as may be required by applicable Laws (including employer’s liability insurance, if required by Beneficiary), covering all employees of Trustor and each contractor and subcontractor.

 

(f)            If the Mortgaged Property is required to be insured pursuant to the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, because it is located in an area which has been identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as a Flood Hazard Area, then Trustor shall provide, maintain and keep in force at all times a flood insurance policy covering the Mortgaged Property in limits that would exceed the damage caused by what is expected to be the most severe flood (or any greater limits to the extent required by applicable Law from time to time), containing a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement (Form 438 BFU or equivalent) in favor of Beneficiary.

 

(g)           Trustor shall provide, maintain and keep in force at all times any and all additional insurance that Beneficiary in its reasonable judgment may from time to time require, so long as such insurance is available in the commercial market at reasonable rates.

 

5.7.2        All such policies of insurance shall be issued by companies approved by Beneficiary having a minimum A.M. Best’s rating of A-X.  The limits, coverage, forms, deductibles, inception and expiration dates and cancellation provisions of all such policies shall be acceptable to Beneficiary.  Each property insurance policy maintained in connection with any of the Mortgaged Property shall contain a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement (Form 438 BFU or equivalent) in favor of Beneficiary, and shall provide that all proceeds be payable to Beneficiary to the extent of its interest.  Each liability insurance policy maintained in connection with any of the Mortgaged Property shall name Beneficiary and the Lenders as additional insureds.  An approval by Beneficiary is not, and shall not be deemed to be, a representation of the solvency of any insurer or the sufficiency of any amount of insurance.  Each policy of insurance required hereunder shall provide that it may not be modified or canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Beneficiary, and shall permit a waiver of subrogation by Trustor in favor of Beneficiary and the Lenders.

 

5.7.3        Trustor shall supply Beneficiary with certificates of each policy required hereunder and any other policy of insurance maintained in connection with any of the Mortgaged Property, together with an original or underlyer of each such policy and all endorsements thereto.  When any insurance policy required hereunder expires, Trustor shall furnish Beneficiary with proof acceptable to Beneficiary that the policy has been reinstated or a new policy issued, continuing in force the insurance covered by the policy which expired.  If Trustor fails to pay any such premium, Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the obligation, to obtain current coverage

 

13

 

and advance funds to pay the premiums for it.  Trustor shall repay Beneficiary immediately on demand for any advance for such premiums, which shall be considered to be an additional loan to Trustor bearing interest at the Default Rate, and secured by this Deed of Trust and any other collateral held by Beneficiary in connection with the Secured Obligations.

 

5.8           Trustee’s Acceptance of Trust.  Trustee accepts this trust when this Deed of Trust is recorded.

 

5.9           Releases, Extensions, Modifications and Additional Security.

 

5.9.1        From time to time, Beneficiary may, consistent with the Credit Agreement, perform any of the following acts without incurring any liability or giving notice to any person, and without affecting the personal liability of any person for the payment of the Secured Obligations (except as provided below), and without affecting the security hereof for the full amount of the Secured Obligations on all Property remaining subject hereto, and without the necessity that any sum representing the value of any portion of the Mortgaged Property affected by Beneficiary’s action(s) be credited on the Secured Obligations:

 

(a)           Release any person liable for payment of any Secured Obligation;

 

(b)           Extend the time for payment, or otherwise alter the terms of payment, of any Secured Obligation;

 

(c)           Accept additional real or personal property of any kind as security for any Secured Obligation, whether evidenced by deeds of trust, mortgages, security agreements or any other instruments of security; or

 

(d)           Alter, substitute or release any property securing the Secured Obligations.

 

5.9.2        From time to time when requested to do so by Beneficiary in writing, Trustee may perform any of the following acts without incurring any liability or giving notice to any person:

 

(a)           Consent to the making of any plat or map of the Mortgaged Property or any part of it;

 

(b)           Join in granting any easement or creating any restriction affecting the Mortgaged Property;

 

(c)           Join in any subordination or other agreement affecting this Deed of Trust or the lien or security interest of it; or

 

(d)           Reconvey the Mortgaged Property or any part of it without any warranty.

 

14

 

5.10         Reconveyance.  When Trustee receives Beneficiary’s written request for reconveyance and all fees and other sums owing to Trustee by Trustor under Section 5.11, Trustee shall reconvey the Mortgaged Property, or so much of it as is then held under this Deed of Trust, without warranty, to the person or persons legally entitled to it.  Such person or persons shall pay any costs of recordation.  In the reconveyance, the grantee may be described as “the person or persons legally entitled thereto,” and the recitals of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of their truthfulness.  Neither Beneficiary nor Trustee shall have any duty to determine the rights of persons claiming to be rightful grantees of any reconveyance.

 

5.11         Compensation, Exculpation, Indemnification.

 

5.11.1      Trustor agrees to pay all reasonable fees as may be charged by Beneficiary and Trustee for any services that Beneficiary or Trustee may render in connection with this Deed of Trust, including Beneficiary’s providing a statement of the Secured Obligations or Trustee’s rendering of services in connection with a reconveyance; provided, however, that if the amount of such fees exceeds the maximum amounts legally permitted, such fees shall be reduced so as not to exceed such maximum amounts.  Trustor shall also pay or reimburse all of Beneficiary’s and Trustee’s reasonable costs and expenses which may be incurred in rendering any such services.  Trustor further agrees to pay or reimburse Beneficiary for all reasonable costs, expenses and other advances which may be incurred or made by Beneficiary or Trustee in any efforts to enforce any terms of this Deed of Trust, including any rights or remedies afforded to Beneficiary or Trustee or both of them under Section 6.3, whether any lawsuit is filed or not, or in defending any action or proceeding arising under or relating to this Deed of Trust, including attorneys’ fees and other legal costs, costs of any Trustee Sale or Foreclosure Sale (as defined in Sections 6.3.7 and 6.3.8) and any cost of evidence of title.  If Beneficiary chooses to dispose of the Mortgaged Property through more than one Foreclosure Sale, Trustor shall pay all costs, expenses or other advances that may be incurred or made by Trustee or Beneficiary in each of such Foreclosure Sales.

 

5.11.2      Beneficiary shall not be directly or indirectly liable to Trustor or any other person as a consequence of any of the following:

 

(a)           Beneficiary’s exercise of, or failure to exercise, any rights, remedies or powers granted to Beneficiary in this Deed of Trust;

 

(b)           Beneficiary’s failure or refusal to perform or discharge any obligation or liability of Trustor under any agreement related to the Mortgaged Property or under this Deed of Trust; or

 

(c)           Any loss sustained by Trustor or any third party resulting from Beneficiary’s failure to lease or operate the Mortgaged Property, or from any other act or omission of Beneficiary in managing the Mortgaged Property, after an Event of Default, unless the loss is caused by the willful misconduct and bad faith of Beneficiary.

 

Trustor hereby expressly waives and releases all liability of the types described above, and agrees that no such liability shall be asserted against or imposed upon Beneficiary.

 

15

 

5.11.3      Trustor agrees to indemnify Trustee,  Beneficiary and the Lenders (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) against and hold them harmless from all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, causes of action, judgments, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable legal expenses, cost of evidence of title, cost of evidence of value, and other costs and expenses which any of them may suffer or incur:

 

(a)           In performing any act required or permitted by this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents or by Law;

 

(b)           Because of any failure of Trustor to perform any of Trustor’s obligations; or

 

(c)           Because of any alleged obligation of or undertaking by Beneficiary to perform or discharge any of the representations, warranties, conditions, covenants or other obligations in any document relating to the Mortgaged Property other than the Loan Documents.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any loss caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Each obligation or liability of Trustor to any Indemnitee under this Section 5.11.3 shall survive the release and cancellation of any or all of the Secured Obligations and the full or partial release and/or reconveyance of this Deed of Trust.

 

5.11.4      Trustor shall pay all obligations to pay money arising under this Section 5.11 immediately upon demand by Trustee or Beneficiary.  Each such obligation shall be added to, and considered to be part of, the principal of the Notes in favor of Beneficiary, and shall bear interest from the date the obligation arises at the Default Rate.

 

5.12         Defense and Notice of Claims and Actions.  At Trustor’s sole expense, Trustor shall protect, preserve and defend the Mortgaged Property and title to and right of possession of the Mortgaged Property, and the security of this Deed of Trust and the rights and powers of Beneficiary and Trustee created under it, against all adverse claims.  Trustor shall give Beneficiary and Trustee prompt notice in writing if any claim is asserted which does or could affect any of such matters, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which alleges or relates to any such claim.

 

5.13         Substitution of Trustee.  From time to time, Beneficiary may substitute a successor to any Trustee named in or acting under this Deed of Trust in any manner now or later to be provided at Law, or by a written instrument executed and acknowledged by Beneficiary and recorded in the office(s) of the recorder(s) of the County.  Any such instrument shall be conclusive proof of the proper substitution of the successor Trustee, who shall automatically upon recordation of the instrument succeed to all estate, title, rights, powers and duties of the predecessor Trustee, without conveyance from it.

 

5.14         Subrogation.  Beneficiary shall be subrogated to the liens and security interests of all encumbrances, whether released of record or not, which are discharged in whole or in part by

 

16

 

Beneficiary in accordance with this Deed of Trust or with the proceeds of any loan secured by this Deed of Trust.

 

5.15         Site Visits, Observation and Testing.  Beneficiary and its agents and representatives shall have the right at any reasonable time to enter and visit the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of performing appraisals.  In addition, each Indemnitee (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) and their agents and representatives shall have the right at any reasonable time to enter and visit the Mortgaged Property for the purposes of observing the Mortgaged Property, taking and removing soil or groundwater samples, and conducting tests on any part of the Mortgaged Property.  The Indemnified Parties have no duty, however, to visit or observe the Mortgaged Property or to conduct tests, and no site visit, observation or testing by any Indemnified Party shall impose any liability on any Indemnified Party.  In no event shall any site visit, observation or testing by any Indemnified Party be a representation that Hazardous Materials are or are not present in, on, or under the Mortgaged Property, or that there has been or shall be compliance with any Hazardous Materials Law, or any other applicable Law.  Neither Trustor nor any other party is entitled to rely on any site visit, observation or testing by any Indemnified Party.  The Indemnified Parties owe no duty of care to protect Trustor or any other party against, or to inform Trustor or any other party of, any Hazardous Material or any other adverse condition affecting the Mortgaged Property.  Any Indemnified Party shall give Trustor reasonable notice before entering the Mortgaged Property.  The Indemnified Party shall make reasonable efforts to avoid interfering with Trustor’s use of the Mortgaged Property in exercising any rights provided in this Section.

 

5.16         Notice of Change.  Trustor shall give Beneficiary prior written notice of (a) any change in the location of Trustor’s place of business or its chief executive office if it has more than one place of business, (b) any change in the location of any of the Mortgaged Property, including the Books and Records, and (c) any change to Trustor’s name or business structure.  Unless otherwise approved by Beneficiary in writing, all Property that consists of personal property (including the Books and Records) will be located on the Land.

 

6.             Accelerating Transfers, Defaults and Remedies.

 

6.1           Accelerating Transfers.

 

6.1.1        “Accelerating Transfer” means any sale, contract to sell, conveyance, encumbrance, lease, alienation or further encumbrance not expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, or other transfer of all or any material part of the Mortgaged Property or any interest in it, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, unless Beneficiary has given its prior written consent to such “Accelerating Transfer,” which consent may be given or not given in the sole and absolute discretion of Beneficiary or any event constituting a Change of Control under the Credit Agreement.

 

6.1.2        Trustor acknowledges that Beneficiary and the Lenders are making one or more advances under the Credit Agreement in reliance on the expertise, skill and experience of Trustor; thus, the Secured Obligations include material elements similar in nature to a personal service contract.  In consideration of Beneficiary’s reliance, Trustor agrees that Trustor shall not

 

17

 

make any Accelerating Transfer, unless the transfer is preceded by Beneficiary’s written consent to the particular transaction and transferee.  Beneficiary may withhold such consent in its sole and absolute discretion.  If any Accelerating Transfer occurs, Beneficiary may, in its sole and absolute discretion, declare all of the Secured Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and Beneficiary and Trustee may invoke any rights and remedies provided by Section 6.3 of this Deed of Trust.

 

6.2           Events of Default.  Trustor will be in default under this Deed of Trust upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events (“Events of Default”):

 

(a)           Trustor fails to perform any obligation to pay money which arises under this Deed of Trust or by Trustor under the Guaranty; or

 

(b)           Trustor fails to perform any other obligation arising under this Deed of Trust within five Business Days after the giving of written notice by Beneficiary of such failure; or

 

(c)           Trustor, any other Party, or any “borrower” (as that term is defined in NRS 106.310, as amended or recodified from time to time) who may send a notice pursuant to NRS 106.380(1), as amended or recodified from time to time, with respect to this Deed of Trust, (i) delivers, sends by mail or otherwise gives, or purports to deliver, send by mail or otherwise give, to Beneficiary or any Lender, (A) any notice of an election to terminate the operation of this Deed of Trust as security for any Secured Obligation, including, without limitation, any obligation to repay any “future advance” (as defined in NRS 106.320, as amended or recodified from time to time) of “principal” (as defined in NRS 106.345, as amended or recodified from time to time), or (B) any other notice pursuant to NRS 106.380(1), as amended or recodified from time to time, (ii) records a statement pursuant to NRS 106.380(3), as amended or recodified from time to time, or (iii) causes this Deed of Trust, any Secured Obligation, Beneficiary or any Lender to be subject to NRS 106.380(2), 106.380(3) or 106.400, as amended or recodified from time to time; or

 

(d)           Any Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document) occurs; or any other default occurs under any of the Secured Obligations (subject to any applicable cure period).

 

6.3           Remedies.  At any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default and provided that Beneficiary has received any consents or approvals of any other Lenders required under the Credit Agreement, Beneficiary and Trustee will be entitled to invoke any or all of the following rights and remedies (subject to any restrictions on those rights and remedies imposed by applicable Gaming Laws), all of which will be cumulative, and the exercise of any one or more of which shall not constitute an election of remedies:

 

6.3.1        Acceleration.  Beneficiary may declare any or all of the Secured Obligations to be due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Deed of Trust, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

18

 

6.3.2        Receiver.  Beneficiary may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtain appointment of, a receiver for the Mortgaged Property; and Beneficiary may request, in connection with any foreclosure proceeding hereunder, that the Nevada Gaming Commission petition a District Court of the State of Nevada for the appointment of a supervisor to conduct the normal gaming activities on the Mortgaged Property following such foreclosure proceeding.

 

6.3.3        Entry.  Beneficiary, in person, by agent or by court-appointed receiver, may enter, take possession of, manage and operate all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, and may also do any and all other things in connection with those actions that Beneficiary may in its sole and absolute discretion consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this Deed of Trust.  Such other things may include, without limitation:  taking and possessing all of Trustor’s or the then owner’s Books and Records; entering into, enforcing, modifying, or canceling Leases on such terms and conditions as Beneficiary may consider proper; obtaining and evicting tenants; collecting and receiving any payment of money owing to Trustor; completing construction; and/or contracting for and making repairs and alterations.  If Beneficiary so requests, Trustor shall assemble all of the Mortgaged Property that has been removed from the Land and make all of it available to Beneficiary at the site of the Land.  Trustor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Beneficiary as Trustor’s attorney-in-fact (which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to perform such acts and execute such documents as Beneficiary in its sole and absolute discretion may consider to be appropriate in connection with taking these measures, including endorsement of Trustor’s name on any instruments.  Regardless of any provision of this Deed of Trust or the Credit Agreement, Beneficiary shall not be considered to have accepted any property in satisfaction of any obligation of Trustor to Beneficiary unless Beneficiary has given express written notice of Beneficiary’s election of that remedy in accordance with NRS 104.9505, as it may be amended or recodified from time to time.

 

6.3.4        Cure; Protection of Security.  Either Beneficiary or Trustee may cure any breach or default of Trustor and, if it chooses to do so in connection with any such cure, Beneficiary or Trustee may also enter the Mortgaged Property and/or do any and all other things which either may in its sole and absolute discretion consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this Deed of Trust.  Such other things may include, without limitation:  appearing in and/or defending any action or proceeding which purports to affect the security of, or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee under, this Deed of Trust; paying, purchasing, contesting or compromising any encumbrance, charge, lien, security interest or claim of lien or security interest which (in Beneficiary’s or Trustee’s sole judgment) is or may be senior in priority to this Deed of Trust, such judgment of Beneficiary or Trustee to be conclusive as among the parties to this Deed of Trust; obtaining insurance and/or paying any premiums or charges for insurance required to be carried under this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents; otherwise caring for and protecting any and all of the Mortgaged Property; and/or employing counsel, accountants, contractors and other appropriate persons to assist Beneficiary or Trustee.  Beneficiary and Trustee may take any of the actions permitted under this Section 6.3.4 either with or without giving notice to any person.

 

19

 

6.3.5        Uniform Commercial Code Remedies.  Beneficiary may exercise any or all of the remedies granted to a secured party under the Nevada Uniform Commercial Code, as amended or recodified from time to time.

 

6.3.6        Judicial Action.  Beneficiary may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to foreclose this Deed of Trust or to obtain specific enforcement of any of the covenants or other terms of this Deed of Trust.

 

6.3.7        Power of Sale.  Under the power of sale hereby granted, Beneficiary shall have the discretionary right to cause some or all of the Mortgaged Property, including any Property which constitutes personal property, to be sold or otherwise disposed of in any combination and in any manner permitted by applicable Law.

 

(a)           Sales of Personal Property.

 

(i)            For purposes of this power of sale, Beneficiary may elect to treat as personal property any Property which is intangible or which can be severed from the Land or Improvements without causing structural damage.  If it chooses to do so, Beneficiary may dispose of any personal property separately from the sale of real property, in any manner permitted by the Nevada Uniform Commercial Code, as amended or recodified from time to time, including any public or private sale, or in any manner permitted by any other applicable Law.  Any proceeds of any such disposition shall not cure any Event of Default or reinstate any Secured Obligation.

 

(ii)           In connection with any sale or other disposition of such Property, Trustor agrees that the following procedures constitute a commercially reasonable sale:  Beneficiary shall mail written notice of the sale to Trustor not later than ten (10) days prior to such sale.  Once per week during the three weeks immediately preceding such sale, Beneficiary will publish notice of the sale in a local daily newspaper of general circulation.  Upon receipt of any written request, Beneficiary will make the Mortgaged Property available to any bona fide prospective purchaser for inspection during reasonable business hours.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, Beneficiary shall be under no obligation to consummate a sale if, in its judgment, none of the offers received by it equals the fair value of the Mortgaged Property offered for sale.  The foregoing procedures do not constitute the only procedures that may be commercially reasonable.

 

(b)           Trustee’s Sales of Real Property or Mixed Collateral.

 

(i)            Beneficiary may choose to dispose of some or all of the Mortgaged Property which consists solely of real property in any manner then permitted by applicable Law.  In its discretion, Beneficiary may also or alternatively choose to dispose of some or all of the Mortgaged Property, in any combination consisting of both real and personal property, together in one sale to be held in accordance

 

20

 

with the Law and procedures applicable to real property, as permitted by Article 9 of the Nevada Uniform Commercial Code, as amended or recodified from time to time.  Trustor agrees that such a sale of personal property together with real property constitutes a commercially reasonable sale of the personal property.  For purposes of this power of sale, either a sale of real property alone, or a sale of both real and personal property together in accordance with Article 9 of the Nevada Uniform Commercial Code, as amended or recodified from time to time, will sometimes be referred to as a “Trustee’s Sale.”

 

(ii)           Before any Trustee’s Sale, Beneficiary or Trustee shall give such notice of default and election to sell as may then be required by Law.  When all time periods then legally mandated have expired, and after such notice of sale as may then be legally required has been given, Trustee shall sell the property being sold at a public auction to be held at the time and place specified in the notice of sale, provided, however, that no sale or other disposition of slot machines or other gaming devices shall occur without first receiving the approval of the applicable Gaming Board.  Neither Trustee nor Beneficiary shall have any obligation to make demand on Trustor before any Trustee’s Sale.  From time to time in accordance with then applicable Law, Trustee may, and in any event at Beneficiary’s request shall, postpone any Trustee’s Sale by public announcement at the time and place noticed for that sale.

 

(iii)          At any Trustee’s Sale, Trustee shall sell the property being sold at a public auction to the highest bidder at public auction for cash in lawful money of the United States.  Trustee shall execute and deliver to the purchaser(s) a deed or deeds conveying the property being sold without any covenant or warranty whatsoever, express or implied.  The recitals in any such deed of any matters or facts, including any facts bearing upon the regularity or validity of any Trustee’s Sale, shall be conclusive proof of their truthfulness.  Any such deed shall be conclusive against all persons as to the facts recited in it.

 

6.3.8        Single or Multiple Foreclosure Sales.  If the Mortgaged Property consists of more than one lot, parcel or item of property, Beneficiary may:

 

(a)           Designate the order in which the lots, parcels and/or items shall be sold or disposed of or offered for sale or disposition; and

 

(b)           Elect to dispose of the lots, parcels and/or items through a single consolidated sale or disposition to be held or made under the power of sale granted in Sections 1.1 and 6.3.7, or in connection with judicial proceedings, or by virtue of a judgment and decree of foreclosure and sale; or through two or more such sales or dispositions; or in any other manner Beneficiary may deem to be in its best interests (any such sale or disposition being referred to herein as a “Foreclosure Sale”).

 

If Beneficiary chooses to have more than one Foreclosure Sale, Beneficiary at its option may cause the Foreclosure Sales to be held simultaneously or successively, on the same day, or on

 

21

 

such different days and at such different times and in such order as Beneficiary may deem to be in its best interests.  No Foreclosure Sale shall terminate or affect the liens or security interests of this Deed of Trust on any part of the Mortgaged Property which has not been sold until all of the Secured Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitment has been fully and finally terminated.

 

6.3.9        Other Permitted Remedies.  Beneficiary and the Lenders may refuse to make any advance to, or issue any Letter of Credit for the account of, Trustor.  Beneficiary and the Lenders may exercise any and all other rights and remedies available under the Loan Documents and applicable Law, including, without limitation, the right to file applications to change, and to exercise all other rights and remedies available under applicable Law with respect to, all water permits and rights relating to the Mortgaged Property; provided however that, notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision contained in this Deed of Trust, the remedies provided by this Deed of Trust shall not include the right to take any action that violates applicable Gaming Laws.

 

6.4           Credit Bids.  At any Foreclosure Sale, any person, including Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary, may bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof to the extent permitted by then applicable Law.  Instead of paying cash for such property, Beneficiary may settle for the purchase price by crediting against the sales price of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof any or all of the outstanding Secured Obligations (including without limitation the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the expenses of sale, costs of any action and any other sums for which Trustor is obligated to pay or reimburse Beneficiary, the Lenders or Trustee under Section 5.11) in such order and proportions as Beneficiary in its sole and absolute discretion may choose.

 

6.5           Application of Foreclosure Sale Proceeds.  Trustee shall apply the proceeds of the sale in the following order: (a) to all costs and expenses of the sale, including but not limited to a Trustee’s fee equal to two percent (2%) of the gross proceeds of the sale, the Trustee’s expenses and reasonable attorney fees and expenses; (b) costs of title evidence; (c) the payment of the Secured Obligations, provided that all proceeds that are to be applied against the Secured Obligations shall, except as otherwise required by applicable Law, be applied against the Secured Obligations in any order and proportions as Beneficiary in its sole and absolute discretion may choose (subject to any applicable provision for priority of applications of proceeds set forth in the Credit Agreement); and (d) the excess, if any, to any subordinate lienholders, if any, in their order of priority, including the Beneficiary, and then to the Trustor or any successors or assigns of the Trustors, as their interests may appear.

 

6.6           Application of Rents and Other Sums.  Beneficiary shall apply any and all Rents collected by it, and any and all sums other than proceeds of a Foreclosure Sale which Beneficiary may receive or collect under Section 6.3, in the following manner:

 

(a)           First, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the costs and expenses of operation and collection that may be incurred by Trustee, Beneficiary or any receiver;

 

22

 

 

(b)           Second, to pay all other Secured Obligations in any order and proportions as Beneficiary in its sole and absolute discretion may choose (subject to any applicable provisions for priority of application of payments set forth in the Credit Agreement); and

 

(c)           Third, to remit the remainder, if any, to the person or persons entitled to it.  Beneficiary shall have no liability for any funds which it does not actually receive.

 

6.7           Incorporation of Certain Nevada Covenants.  Covenants Nos. 1, 2 (full replacement value), 3, 4 (at the applicable Default Rate), 5, 6, 7 (reasonable), 8 and 9 of NRS 107.030, where not in conflict with the provisions of the Loan Documents, are hereby adopted and made a part of this Deed of Trust.  Upon any Event of Default by Trustor hereunder, Beneficiary may (a) declare all sums secured immediately due and payable without demand or notice or (b) have a receiver appointed as a matter of right without regard to the sufficiency of said property or any other security or guaranty and without any showing as required by NRS §107.100.  All remedies provided in this Deed of Trust are distinct and cumulative to any other right or remedy under this Deed of Trust or afforded by law or equity and may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively.  The sale of said property conducted pursuant to Covenants Nos. 6, 7 and 8 of NRS §107.030 may be conducted either as to the whole of said property or in separate parcels and in such order as Trustee may determine.

 

7.             Miscellaneous Provisions.

 

7.1           Additional Provisions.  The Loan Documents fully state all of the terms and conditions of the parties’ agreement regarding the matters mentioned in or incidental to this Deed of Trust.

Grantors shall be entitled to receive and to retain and use any and all interest, premiums or Distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral; provided, however, that any and all such Distributions received in the form of capital stock (or other equity interest) shall be, and the Certificates representing such capital stock (or other equity interest) forthwith shall be delivered to Administrative Agent to hold as, Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by Grantors, be received in trust for the benefit of Secured Party, be segregated from the other property of Grantors, and forthwith be delivered to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Party as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements).  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Grantors shall not be required to deliver to Administrative Agent to hold as Pledged Collateral any Distributions received in the form of capital stock (or other equity interest), and such Distributions shall not constitute Pledged Collateral, to the extent that (a) such capital stock (or other equity interest) represents an equity interest in a Foreign Subsidiary and (b) Secured Party’s receipt of such capital stock (or other equity interest) would cause Secured Party to obtain a pledge pursuant to this Agreement of greater than sixty-six percent (66%) of the applicable equity interest of the applicable Foreign Subsidiary.

At the option of Secured Party, subject to applicable Gaming Laws, all rights of Grantors to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which they would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6.1 above, and to receive the interest, premiums and Distributions which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 6.2 above, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Party who shall thereupon, at the direction of Administrative Agent, have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and to hold as Pledged Collateral such Distributions, provided, however, that Grantors’ rights to receive Distributions pursuant to Section 6.2 above shall not cease with respect to, and Secured Party shall not have the right to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral, any Distributions made in respect of the Pledged Collateral in the form of capital stock (or other equity interest), or the Certificates representing such capital stock (or other equity interest), to the extent that (a) such capital stock (or other equity interest) represents an equity interest in a Foreign Subsidiary and (b) Secured Party’s receipt of such capital stock (or other equity interest) would cause Secured Party to obtain a pledge pursuant to this Agreement of greater than sixty-six percent (66%) of the applicable equity interest of the applicable Foreign Subsidiary.  Administrative Agent shall give notice to Grantors of Secured Party’s election to exercise voting rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral; provided, however, that (i) neither the giving of such notice nor the receipt thereof by Grantors shall be a condition to exercise of any rights of Secured Party hereunder, and (ii) neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability for failing to give such notice.

Grantors hereby jointly and severally authorize Administrative Agent, subject to the terms and conditions of applicable Gaming Laws, to substitute another Person as the proxyholder and, upon the occurrence or during the continuance of any Event of Default, hereby authorizes and directs the proxyholder to file this proxy and the substitution instrument with the secretary or other

 

6

 

appropriate officer of the appropriate corporation or other entity as applicable.  This proxy is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until such time as no commitment to extend credit to Grantors remains outstanding from the Lenders and until such time as all Obligations have been paid and performed in full.

 

8.             Transfers and Other Liens.  Subject to the terms and conditions of applicable Gaming Laws, Grantors agree that, except as specifically permitted under the Loan Documents, they will not (i) sell, assign, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or contract to sell, assign, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Pledged Collateral, (ii) create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral, except for Liens permitted by the Credit Agreement, or (iii) take any action with respect to the Pledged Collateral which is inconsistent with the provisions or purposes of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

9.             Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.  Subject to the terms and conditions of applicable Gaming Laws, each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Party as such Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor, and in the name of such Grantor, or otherwise, from time to time, in Secured Party’s sole and absolute discretion to do any of the following acts or things:  (a) following Secured Party’s request thereof and such Grantor’s failure to perform, to do all acts and things and to execute all documents necessary or advisable to perfect and continue perfected the security interests created by this Agreement and to preserve, maintain and protect the Pledged Collateral; (b) from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to do any and every act which such Grantor is obligated to do under this Agreement; (c) following Secured Party’s request thereof and such Grantor’s failure to perform, to prepare, sign, file and record, in such Grantor’s name, any financing statement covering the Pledged Collateral; and (d) from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to endorse and transfer the Pledged Collateral upon foreclosure by Secured Party; provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation whatsoever to take any of the foregoing actions, and neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility for any act (other than Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or omission taken with respect thereto.  Each Grantor hereby agrees to repay immediately upon demand all reasonable costs and expenses incurred or expended by Secured Party in exercising any right or taking any action under this Agreement, together with interest as provided for in the Credit Agreement.

 

10.           Administrative Agent May Perform Obligations. If any Grantor fails to perform any Obligation contained herein, Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Party may, subject to compliance with applicable Gaming Laws, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand upon such Grantor, perform the same and take such other action as Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable to protect the Pledged Collateral or Secured Party’s security interests therein, Administrative Agent being hereby authorized (without limiting the general nature of the authority hereinabove conferred) to pay, purchase, contest and compromise any Lien which in the reasonable judgment of Secured Party appears to be prior or superior to Secured Party’s security interests, and in exercising any such powers and authority to pay necessary expenses, employ counsel and pay reasonable attorneys’ fees.  Each Grantor hereby agrees to repay promptly upon demand all sums so expended by Secured Party, together

 

7

 

with interest from the date of expenditure at the rates provided for in the Credit Agreement.  Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any duty or obligation to preserve, maintain or protect the Pledged Collateral or any of such Grantor’s rights or interest therein, exercise any voting rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral, whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, or make or give any notices of default, presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance or dishonor, protests, notices of protest or notice of any other nature whatsoever in connection with the Pledged Collateral on behalf of such Grantor or any other Person having any interest therein; and neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender assumes and none shall be obligated to perform the obligations of such Grantor, if any, with respect to the Pledged Collateral.

 

11.           Reasonable Care.  Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if the Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially similar to that which Administrative Agent accords its own property and if the Pledged Collateral is maintained in a location not disapproved by the applicable Gaming Board, it being understood that Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for ascertaining or taking action with respect to maturities, calls, conversions, exchanges, tenders or other matters relative to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not Administrative Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Pledged Collateral. Secured Party shall comply with the conditions, if any, imposed by any Gaming Board in connection with the approvals of the security interest granted hereunder by Grantors.  Secured Party shall not surrender possession of any Pledged Collateral which consists of Pledged Securities of any Subsidiary subject to Gaming Laws or holding a license issued by a Gaming Board to any Person without the prior approval of the applicable Gaming Board or as otherwise permitted by then current applicable Gaming Laws.

 

12.           Events of Default and Remedies.

 

12.1         Rights Upon Event of Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, Grantors shall be in default hereunder and Secured Party shall have in any jurisdiction where enforcement is sought, subject to compliance with applicable Gaming Laws, in addition to all other rights and remedies that Secured Party may have under this Agreement and under applicable Law or in equity, all of its rights and remedies as a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in any such jurisdiction, and in addition, subject to compliance with applicable Gaming Laws,  the following rights and remedies, all of which may be exercised with or without further notice to Grantors:

 

(a)           to notify any Issuer of any Pledged Securities and any and all other obligors on any Pledged Collateral that the same has been pledged to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Party and that all Distributions and other payments thereon are to be made directly and exclusively to Administrative Agent for the account of Secured Party; to renew, extend, modify, amend, accelerate, accept partial payments on, make allowances and adjustments and issue credits with respect to, release, settle, compromise, compound, collect or otherwise liquidate, on terms acceptable to Secured Party, in whole or in part, the Pledged Collateral and any amounts owing thereon or any

 

8

 

guaranty or security therefor; to enter into any other agreement relating to or affecting the Pledged Collateral; and to give all consents, waivers and ratifications with respect to the Pledged Collateral and exercise all other rights (including voting rights), powers and remedies and otherwise act with respect thereto as if Secured Party were the owner thereof;

 

(b)           to enforce payment and prosecute any action or proceeding with respect to any and all of the Pledged Collateral and take or bring, in Secured Party’s name(s) or in the name of Grantors, all steps, actions, suits or proceedings deemed by Secured Party necessary or desirable to effect collection of or to realize upon the Pledged Collateral;

 

(c)           in accordance with applicable Law, including Gaming Laws, to take possession of the Pledged Collateral with or without judicial process;

 

(d)           to endorse, in the name of Grantors, all checks, notes, drafts, money orders, instruments and other evidences of payment relating to the Pledged Collateral;

 

(e)           to transfer any or all of the Pledged Collateral into the name of Secured Party or its nominee or nominees; and

 

(f)            in accordance with applicable Law, including Gaming Laws, to foreclose the Liens and security interests created under this Agreement or under any other agreement relating to the Pledged Collateral by any available judicial procedure or without judicial process, and to sell, assign or otherwise dispose of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, either at public or private sale or at any broker’s board or securities exchange, in lots or in bulk, for cash, on credit or on future delivery, or otherwise, with or without representations or warranties, and upon such terms as shall be acceptable to Secured Party;

 

all at the sole option of and in the sole discretion of Secured Party.

 

12.2         Sales.  Subject to compliance with applicable Gaming Laws, any sale of the Pledged Collateral shall be held at such time or times and at such place or places as Secured Party may determine in the exercise of its sole and absolute discretion.  Secured Party may bid (which bid may be, in whole or in part, in the form of cancellation of Obligations) for and purchase for the account of Secured Party or any nominee of Secured Party the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral.  Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Pledged Collateral if it shall determine not to do so regardless of the fact that notice of sale of the Pledged Collateral may have been given.  Secured Party may, without notice or publication, adjourn the sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.

 

12.3         Private Sales.  Subject to compliance with applicable Gaming Laws, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, whether or not any of the Pledged Collateral has been effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or other applicable Laws, Secured Party may, in its sole and absolute discretion, sell all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at private sale in such manner and under

 

9

 

such circumstances as Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable in order that the sale may be lawfully conducted.  Without limiting the foregoing, Secured Party may (i) approach and negotiate with a limited number of potential purchasers, and (ii) restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Pledged Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  In the event that any of the Pledged Collateral is sold at private sale, each Grantor agrees that if the Pledged Collateral is sold for a price which Secured Party in good faith believes to be reasonable, then, (A) the sale shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable in all respects, (B) such Grantor shall not be entitled to a credit against the Obligations in an amount in excess of the purchase price, and (C) Secured Party shall not incur any liability or responsibility to such Grantor in connection therewith, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized at a public sale.  Grantors recognize that a ready market may not exist for Pledged Collateral which is not regularly traded on a recognized securities exchange or in another recognized market, and that a sale by Secured Party of any such Pledged Collateral for an amount substantially less than a pro rata share of the fair market value of such Issuer’s assets minus liabilities may be commercially reasonable in view of the difficulties that may be encountered in attempting to sell a large amount of Pledged Collateral or Pledged Collateral that is privately traded.

 

12.4         Title of Purchasers.  Subject to compliance with applicable Gaming Laws, upon consummation of any sale of Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Section 12, Administrative Agent on behalf of Secured Party shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Pledged Collateral so sold.  Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Pledged Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Grantors, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of Law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.  If the sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, Secured Party shall not be required to apply any portion of the sale price to the Obligations until such amount actually is received by Secured Party, and any Pledged Collateral so sold may be retained by Secured Party until the sale price is paid in full by the purchaser or purchasers thereof.  Secured Party shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to pay for the Pledged Collateral so sold, and, in case of any such failure, the Pledged Collateral may be sold again upon like notice.

 

12.5         Disposition of Proceeds of Sale.  The net cash proceeds resulting from the collection, liquidation, sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral shall be applied, first, to the reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale, selling, collecting and liquidating the Pledged Collateral, and the like; second, to the satisfaction of all Obligations, with application as to any particular Obligations to be in the order set forth in the Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents; and, third, to all other indebtedness secured hereby in such order and manner as Secured Party in its sole and absolute discretion may determine.

 

12.6         Compliance with Missouri Gaming Laws.

 

(a)           For the purposes of this Agreement “Missouri Gaming Laws” shall mean the statutes, regulations and law governing licensed riverboat gaming in the State of

 

10

 

 

Missouri, including without limitation, Chapter 313, RSMo, and 11 CSR Division 45, as the same may be amended from time to time; “Missouri Gaming Subsidiary” means any Subsidiary of any Grantor subject to the Missouri Gaming Laws; “Missouri Pledged Securities” means Pledged Securities which are issued by any Missouri Gaming Subsidiary.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Security Agreement, (i) the pledge of and grant of a security interest in the Missouri Pledged Securities herein, the Secured Party’s rights and remedies with respect to such Missouri Pledged Securities, the enforcement of the Secured Party’s rights and remedies with respect to the Missouri Pledged Securities and the other terms of this Agreement affecting the Missouri Pledged Securities and any Missouri Gaming Subsidiary are subject to the Missouri Gaming Laws; (ii) the ownership interests evidenced by the Missouri Pledged Securities may not be transferred in any way pursuant to this Agreement or any other pledge, hypothecation or security interest without separate notice to the Missouri Gaming commission or other applicable Gaming Board at least thirty (30) days prior to such transfer or as otherwise permitted by then current applicable Gaming Laws.  The Secured Party acknowledges (x) that upon such transfer, or upon Secured Party having the power to vote any ownership interest in any Missouri Gaming Subsidiary, any license granted by the Missouri Gaming Commission shall be null and void unless the Missouri Gaming Commission or other applicable Gaming board has approved such transfer by vote of the commissioners; and (y) that only persons and entities licensed by the Missouri Gaming Commission are permitted to operate riverboat gaming facilities in Missouri or are permitted to supply, sell and transfer gaming equipment and slot machines in Missouri.

 

13.           Continuing Effect.  This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Grantors for liquidation or reorganization, should Grantors become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of Grantors’ assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable Law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by Administrative Agent or any Lender, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.  In the event that any payment or any part thereof is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

 

14.           Covenant Not to Issue Uncertificated Securities.  Except as set forth on Schedule II attached hereto, Grantors jointly and severally represent and warrant to Secured Party that, as of the date hereof, all of the capital stock (or other equity interests) of each of the Issuers is in certificated form (as defined in Article 8 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code), and, subject to compliance with applicable Gaming Laws, covenant to Secured Party that they will not, without prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, cause or permit (i) any Issuer not listed on or added to Schedule II hereto to convert all or any part of its existing capital stock (or other equity interest) into uncertificated form (as defined in Article 8 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code) or (ii) any Issuer to convert all or any part of its existing capital stock (or

 

11

 

other equity interest) that is in uncertificated form (as defined in Article 8 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code) to certificated form (as defined in Article 8 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code).  The foregoing representations, warranties and covenants shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

 

15.           Covenant Not to Dilute Interests of Secured Party in Pledged Securities.  Grantors jointly and severally represent, warrant and covenant to Secured Party that they will not at any time cause or permit any Issuer to issue any additional capital stock (or other equity interest), or any warrants, options or other rights to acquire any additional capital stock (or other equity interest), if the effect thereof would be to dilute in any way the interests of Secured Party in any Pledged Securities or in any Issuer.

 

16.           Indemnity.  Grantors jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless Secured Party, and each of them, from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, judgments and liabilities (including without limitation liabilities for penalties) of whatsoever kind or nature, and to reimburse Secured Party for all costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and/or costs and expenses associated with, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the exercise by Secured Party of any right or remedy granted to it hereunder or under the other Loan Documents other than arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Secured Party.  In no event shall Secured Party be liable for any matter or thing in connection with this Agreement other than to account for monies actually received by it in accordance with the terms hereof.  If and to the extent that the agreements of Grantors under this Section 16 are unenforceable for any reason, Grantors hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable Law.

 

17.           GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE GAMING LAWS INCLUDING MISSOURI GAMING LAWS.

 

18.           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

19.           Additional Powers and Authorization.   The Administrative Agent has been appointed as the Administrative Agent hereunder pursuant to the Credit Agreement and shall be entitled to the benefits of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may employ agents, trustees, or attorneys-in-fact and, subject to compliance with applicable Gaming Laws, may vest any of them with any property (including, without limitation, the Pledged Collateral), title, right or power deemed necessary for the purposes of such appointment.

 

20.           WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH GRANTOR AND SECURED PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR

 

12

 

INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH GRANTOR AND SECURED PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY GRANTOR OR SECURED PARTY MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

 

21.           CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; CHOICE OF FORUM.

 

(A)          ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS.  EACH GRANTOR HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER SUCH GRANTOR, AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM, IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS, THAT SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER SUCH GRANTOR.  EACH GRANTOR FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO SUCH GRANTOR AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH OPPOSITE ITS SIGNATURE BELOW, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE 30 DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING.  EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS WAS IN ANY WAY INVALID OR INEFFECTIVE.  NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE HOLDER OF ANY NOTE TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY GRANTOR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

 

(B)           EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN
