1.2                               Relationship.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to create any partnership, joint venture or employment relationship, or any relationship of principal and agent, between Circle (or any employee of Circle) and SFX.  Neither Party shall have the right or authority by reason of this Agreement to assume or create any obligations on behalf of the other Party or to bind or make any representations on behalf of the other Party, except with its written consent.  The employees of one Party shall not be deemed to be the employees of the other Party.

 

ARTICLE II.
 DUTIES

 

2.1                               Duties.  During the term of this Agreement, Circle agrees to provide such services and/or to cause certain of its designated employees to perform the services as are requested from time to time by SFX, including those set forth on Schedule 2.1 (the “Services”) (such schedule may be amended from time to time by the written agreement of the Parties).

 

2.2                               Procedure for Requesting Services.  SFX may request Circle to perform any or all of the Services by written or oral notice. The Parties acknowledge that most requests will be oral.  Such requests shall include a description of the scope of the Services requested and any limitations on Circle’s ability to act on behalf of SFX.

 

2.3                               Timely and Professional Service.  Circle agrees to make available the personnel and other resources necessary to perform the Services in a timely and efficient manner when requested by SFX and to perform the Services with due diligence and in a professional and workmanlike manner in accordance with common industry practices. SFX shall specify from to time the Circle employees who shall provide the Services.

 

 

2.4                               Information and Cooperation.  SFX shall provide such information and access to personnel and premises as is reasonably requested by Circle for the performance of the Services and shall cooperate with Circle in the performance of the Services.

2.5                               Confidentiality; Exceptions.  Each Party may from time to time have access to trade secrets, or other proprietary, confidential information of the other Party.  The Party receiving such information shall keep confidential, and shall not disclose or use for any purpose except to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement any trade secret or proprietary, confidential information furnished to it by the other Party, including any such information owned by third parties.  Each Party shall inform any employees, contractors, directors, officers and agents to whom the Party discloses such information of the requirements of this Agreement.  The requirements of this Section 2.5 shall not apply to the extent that it can be established by the receiving Party, by competent proof, that such information: (i) was already known to the receiving Party at the time of disclosure by the other Party other than under an obligation of confidentiality; (ii) was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of its disclosure to the receiving Party; (iii) became generally available to the public or was otherwise part of the public domain after its disclosure and other than through any act or omission of the receiving Party in breach of this Agreement; or (iv) was disclosed to the receiving Party by a third party who was not under an obligation to the disclosing Party not to disclose such information to others (all such information to which none of the foregoing exceptions applies, “Confidential Information”).

 

2.6                               Exceptions to Obligation.  The restrictions contained in Section 2.5 shall not apply to Confidential Information that is otherwise required to be disclosed in compliance with law or governmental regulations, or order of a court or other regulatory body; provided  that if a receiving Party is required to make any such disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information, the receiving Party shall give advance written notice, if practicable, to the other Party of such disclosure requirement and will use reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information required to be disclosed.

 

2.7                               Remedies.  Each Party shall be entitled, in addition to any other right or remedy it may have, at law or in equity, to seek an injunction, enjoining or restraining the other Party from any violation or threatened violation of Sections 2.5 and 2.6.

6.4                               No Third Party Beneficiaries.  Nothing in this Agreement shall confer on any person other than the Parties, or their respective permitted successors or assigns, any rights remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.  Only Circle and SFX shall be entitled to rely on any provision of this Agreement.

 

6.5                               Section Headings.  The section headings of this Agreement are for the convenience of the Parties only and in no way alter, modify, amend, limit, or restrict the contractual obligations of the Parties.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of identical counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signature of more than one Party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Signatures provided by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be deemed to be original signatures.

 

6.10                        Independent Contractor.  It is expressly acknowledged by the Parties that Circle (and its employees) is performing all Services hereunder as an independent contractor.

 

6.11                        Force Majeure.  Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party nor be deemed to be in default under, or in breach of any provision of, this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any obligation of this Agreement when such failure or delay is due to Force  Majeure.  For purposes of this Agreement, Force  Majeure is defined as causes beyond the control of the Party, including, without limitation, acts of God; acts, regulations, or laws of any government adopted after the date of this Agreement or subject to an interpretation after the date of this Agreement that render impossible or illegal performance by a Party of its obligations under this Agreement; war; civil commotion; destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, flood, earthquake, explosion or storm; acts of terrorism; epidemic; and failure of public utilities or common carriers.  In such event, the disabled Party shall promptly notify the other Party, with written notice to follow, of such inability and of such Party’s estimate of the duration of the period for which such inability is expected to continue.  The Party giving such notice shall thereupon be excused from such of its obligations under this Agreement as it is thereby disabled from performing for so long as it is so disabled.  Upon termination of a Force  Majeure event, the performance of any suspended obligation or duty shall promptly recommence.  To the extent possible, each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the duration of any Force  Majeure.

(b)                                 Notice of Elections.  Each such election pursuant to this Section shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent.

(e)                                  Failure to Elect; Events of Default.  If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely and complete Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Eurodollar Rate Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected that such Eurodollar Rate Borrowing shall automatically be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at the end of such Interest Period.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as such Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Rate Borrowing shall automatically be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period therefor.

 

SECTION 2.08  Optional Prepayments.  (a)  The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time prepay the Term Loans, in whole or in part without premium or penalty, subject to the requirements of this Section.

 

(b)                                 Notices.  Each such notice pursuant to this Section shall be in the form of a written Prepayment Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and must be received by the Administrative Agent (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) three Business Days before the date of prepayment and (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Base Rate Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) one Business Day before the date of prepayment.  Each Prepayment Notice shall specify (x) the prepayment date and (y) the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid.  Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each Prepayment Notice shall be irrevocable; provided, that the Borrower may revoke a Prepayment Notice if such Prepayment Notice is in connection with a refinancing of the Term Loan Facility and such refinancing is not consummated on the scheduled date of prepayment.

 

(c)                                  Amounts; Application.  Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02.  Each prepayment of outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section shall be applied to the payment of principal.  Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.17.

Subject to Section 2.09(e), within 60 days of the Key Man Date, the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to 30% of the outstanding Term Loans.  Any such prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.17.

 

(b)                                 Excess Cash Flow.

(c)                                  Debt Issuances.

(d)                                 Sales and Property Loss Events.  Subject to Section 2.09(e), unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, within one Business Day of receipt on or after the Closing Date by any Group Member of Net Cash Proceeds  arising from (i) any Sales of its own Equity Interests and Sales of property other than Sales of property permitted hereunder in reliance upon Section 6.04 (except as expressly set forth in Section 6.04(d) and (f)), to the extent resulting in the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $500,000 for such Sale or in excess of $1,500,000 for all such Sales in the aggregate or (ii) any Property Loss Event with respect to any property of any Group Member,  to the extent resulting in the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $750,000 for such Property Loss Event or in excess of $2,000,000 for all such Property Loss Events in the aggregate, in each case of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Borrower shall immediately pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Term Loans.

 

(e)                                  Application of Payments.  Any payments made to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.15(f).

 

SECTION 2.10  [Reserved].

SECTION 2.12  Interest.

 

(a)                                 Interest Rates.  Subject to paragraph (b) of this Section, (i) each Base Rate Term Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Term Loans and (ii) each Eurodollar Rate Term Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period therefor plus the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Rate Term Loans.

 

34

(c)                                  Payment Dates.  Accrued interest on each Term Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein; provided, that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Term Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Rate Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Borrowing shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

 

(d)                                 Interest Computation.  All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Base Rate at times when the Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  The applicable Base Rate or Adjusted Eurodollar Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

SECTION 2.13  Fees.

 

(a)                                 Administrative Agent Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account the fees payable in the amounts and at the times agreed to in that certain Agency Fee Letter, dated as of March 14, 2013, between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

 

(b)                                 Fee Computation.  All fees payable under this Section shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of a fee hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

SECTION 2.14  Evidence of Debt.  (a)  Maintenance of Records.  Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice records evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Term Loan made by such Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register in accordance with Section 9.04(c).  The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall be prima  facie evidence absent manifest error of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein.  Any failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such records or make any entry therein or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party.  In the event of any conflict between the records maintained by any Lender and the records maintained by the Administrative Agent in such matters, the records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

 

(b)                                 Term Notes.  Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Term Note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in the form specified herein, which shall evidence such Lender’s Term Loans in addition to such records.

 

SECTION 2.15  Payments Generally; Several Obligations of Lenders.  (a) Payments by the Borrower.  All payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense,

 

35

 

recoupment or setoff.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all such payments 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 immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date specified herein.  All amounts received by the Administrative Agent after such time on any date shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fees shall continue to accrue.  The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable share of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s applicable lending office (or otherwise distribute such payment in like funds as received to the Person or Persons entitled thereto as provided herein); provided, that the provisions of this sentence shall not be construed to apply to any payment made pursuant to Section 2.23, or obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant.  If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall fall due on a day that is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, that if such next succeeding Business Day would fall after the Maturity Date, payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars.

 

(b)                                 Application of Insufficient Payments.  Subject to Section 7.02, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, and second, to pay principal due hereunder, in each case, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal, interest and fees, as applicable, then due to such parties.

 

(c)                                  Presumptions by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders 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 applicable Lenders the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent immediately on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, 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 greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.  A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (c) shall be presumptively correct in the absence of manifest error.

 

(d)                                 Deductions by Administrative Agent.  If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(b), 2.16 or 8.06, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to the Administrative Agent until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

 

(e)                                  Several Obligations of Lenders.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 8.06 are several and not joint.

 

36

 

(f)                                   Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.02, any payment made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.09 shall be applied to pay any Obligations then due and payable.

 

SECTION 2.16  Sharing of Payments.  If any Lender shall obtain on account of the principal of or interest on any of its Term Loans any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share thereof (or other share contemplated hereunder), then the Lender shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in such Term Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Term Loans or such participations, as the case may be, ratably with each of such other Lenders; provided, that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and (ii) this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for any assignment or participation pursuant to Section 9.04.  The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to this Section may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, 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.  The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive absent manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the applicable Lenders following any such purchases or repayments.  Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

 

SECTION 2.17  Compensation for Losses.  Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating such compensation, the Borrower shall promptly (but in any event within ten days) after such demand compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Term Loan other than a Base Rate Term Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Term 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 Term Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurodollar Rate Term Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or (c) any assignment of such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.22(b) on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, including, in each case, any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Term Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not be obligated to compensate any Lender under this Section for any loss of anticipated profits in respect of any of the foregoing.  For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Term Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate (excluding the impact of the last sentence of the “Adjusted Eurodollar Rate” definition) for such Term 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 Term Loan was in fact so funded.  Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with each request for compensation by any Lender the Borrower shall also pay such Lender with respect to each affected Eurodollar Rate Term Loan customary administrative fees requested by such Lender.

 

37

 

SECTION 2.18  Taxes.

 

(a)                                 Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law.  If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholding applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

 

(b)                                 Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

 

(c)                                  Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient (and, with respect to U.S. Federal Income Taxes, if such Recipient is not the Beneficial Owner, the Beneficial Owner) within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or Beneficial Owner or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient or Beneficial Owner or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient or Beneficial Owner and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Any indemnification claim by a Beneficial Owner that is not a Recipient shall be asserted by the applicable Recipient on behalf of such Beneficial Owner.

 

(d)                                 Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify (i) the Administrative Agent, promptly (but in any event within ten days) after demand therefor, for (x) any Indemnified Taxes (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent for any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with Section 9.04(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) each Loan Party and the Administrative Agent for any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Loan Party (as applicable) in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party (as applicable) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party (as applicable) to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent or such Loan Party (as applicable) to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent or such Loan Party (as applicable) under this paragraph (d).  The agreements in this paragraph (d) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

 

38

 

(e)                                  Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

(f)                                   Status of Lenders.  (i)  Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything in the preceding two sentences to the contrary, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B)(I) through (IV) and (ii)(C) of this paragraph (f)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

 

(ii)                                  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

 

(A)                               any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

 

(B)                               any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent that it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

 

(I)                                   in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal Income Taxes pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal Income Taxes pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

 

(II)                              in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming an exemption from U.S. Federal Income Taxes for income that is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business, executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

(III)                         in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in

 

39

 

the form of Exhibit I-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN;

 

(IV)                          to the extent that a Non-U.S. Lender is not the Beneficial Owner (for example, where the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership or participating Lender granting a typical participation), executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-3, Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each Beneficial Owner, as applicable; provided, that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more Beneficial Owners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-4 on behalf of each such Beneficial Owner; or

 

(V)                               executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal Income Taxes, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

 

(C)                               If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this paragraph (C), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

 

(g)                                  Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental

 

40

 

Authority.  Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph (g) to the contrary, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.  This paragraph (g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

 

(h)                                 Treatment of Non-U.S. Partners of Certain Lenders.  If any Indemnified Taxes are required under the Code to be withheld by a Lender that is a “domestic partnership” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) with respect to a Person that is not a U.S. Person and is the direct or indirect beneficial owner of an Equity Interest in such Lender (such Person, a “Non-U.S. Partner”), the amount payable by the applicable Loan Party shall not be increased under paragraph (a) of this Section 2.18, but, if the Indemnified Taxes are U.S. Federal Income Taxes, such Non-U.S. Partner shall be entitled to the benefits of paragraph (c) of this Section 2.18 to the same extent as if such Non-U.S. Partner were a Lender (subject to the requirements and limitations of this Section 2.18, but applying paragraph (f) of this Section 2.18 as if such Lender were the Borrower and such Non-U.S. Partner were a Non-U.S. Lender); provided, that such Non-U.S. Partner agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.22 as if it were a Lender.  Each Lender that is a “domestic partnership” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) agrees, at the Borrower’s expense and request, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.22 with respect to such Lender’s Non-U.S. Partners.

 

SECTION 2.19  Increased Costs.  (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 reflected in the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate);

 

(ii)                                  subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition thereof and (C) Connection Income Taxes) that are imposed on or measured by such Recipient’s loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

 

(iii)                               impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Term Loans made by such Lender;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Term Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Term Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

(b)                                 Capital Requirements.  If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender, any of its applicable lending offices or its holding company regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital for such Lender or its holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Term Commitments of such Lender or

 

41

 

the Term Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or its holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its holding company for any such reduction suffered.

 

(c)                                  Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate promptly (but in any event within ten days) after receipt thereof.

 

(d)                                 Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’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).

 

SECTION 2.20  Inability to Determine Rates.  If prior to the commencement of the Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period or that that the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their respective Term Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or the continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing (unless prepaid) shall be continued as, or converted to, a Base Rate Borrowing and (ii) if the Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.

 

SECTION 2.21  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 Term Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted 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 in the London interbank market, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent), (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Term Loans or to convert Base Rate Term Loans to Eurodollar Rate Term Loans shall be suspended and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Term Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Term Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Adjusted 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, convert all Eurodollar

 

42

 

Rate Term Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Term Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Term Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Adjusted 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 Term Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Term Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent 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 Adjusted Eurodollar Rate.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.16.

 

SECTION 2.22  Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.  (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If at any time (i) any Lender requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, (ii) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.19 or (iii) any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 2.21, then such Lender shall, as applicable, at the request of the Borrower, use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Term 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, such designation or assignment (A) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.18 or Section 2.19, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 2.21, and (B) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

 

(b)                                 Replacement of Lenders.  If at any time (i) the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, (ii) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.19 (and, in each case with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) hereunder, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.22(a)) (iii) any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 2.21 or (iv) any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by causing such Lender (and such Lender shall be obligated) to assign pursuant to Section 9.04(b) (with the processing and recording fee under Section 9.04(b)(iii) to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided, that:

 

(A)                               neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to find a replacement assignee;

 

(B)                               such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Term Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.13 and Section 2.16) from the applicable assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal, funded participations and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

 

43

 

(C)                               in the case of any such assignment resulting from payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.18 or a claim for compensation under Section 2.19, such assignment will result in a reduction in such payments or compensation thereafter or, in the case of any such assignment resulting from a notice pursuant to Section 2.21, such assignment will eliminate the need for such notice;

 

(D)                               such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law; and

 

(E)                                in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall be deemed to have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

 

In connection with any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, if any such  Non-Consenting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Assumption pursuant to Section 9.04(b) reflecting such assignment within five Business Days of the date on which the applicable assignee executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption to such  Non-Consenting Lender, then such Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption without any action on the part of such Non-Consenting Lender, as applicable, whereupon such assignment shall become effective upon payment to such Lender of all amounts owing to such Lender under clause (B) above (which amounts shall be calculated by the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error) and compliance with the other applicable requirements pursuant to Section 9.04(b).

 

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise (including any action taken by such Lender pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section), the circumstances entitling the Borrower to replace such Lender cease to apply.

The written information prepared or furnished by or on behalf of any Group Member in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document to which a Loan Party is a party (in each case, as modified or supplemented by other written information so furnished) did not, when taken as a whole to the knowledge of Holdings, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances when made, not materially misleading; provided, that projections contained therein are based upon estimates and assumptions as stated therein, all of which Holdings believes to be reasonable and fair in light of conditions and facts known to Holdings as of the date such written information was prepared or furnished and such projections reflect the good faith, reasonable and fair estimates by Holdings of the information projected for the periods set forth therein for the periods set forth therein, it being recognized by the Lenders, however, that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and actual results during the periods covered thereby may differ from the projected results and that such differences may be material.

 

SECTION 3.17  Licenses and Permits.

 

(a)                                 Except as set forth on Schedule 3.17, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, each material Permit held by a Group Member was duly and validly issued by the applicable Governmental Authority pursuant to procedures which comply with all material requirements of Law.  No Group Member has knowledge of the occurrence of any event or the existence of any circumstance which, in the reasonable judgment of such Group Member, is likely to lead to the revocation of any material Permit.  Except as set forth on Schedule 3.17, the appropriate Group Member has the right to use all of its material Permits and has obtained, all material Permits required for the operation of the business of the Group Members as presently conducted, except where the failure to have the right to use such material Permits or obtain such material Permits affecting the business or assets of any Group Member could not in the reasonable judgment of Holdings (i) expose any Group Member to liability in an aggregate amount in excess of $500,000 or (ii) reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Each material Permit held by a Group Member is in full force and effect and does not, to the knowledge of the Group Members, conflict with the valid rights of others, except where the failure of such Permit to be in full force and effect or such conflict affecting the business or assets of any Group Member could not in the

 

49

 

reasonable judgment of Holdings (i) expose any Group Member to liability in an aggregate amount in excess of $100,000  or (ii) reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(b)                                 Except as set forth on Schedule 3.17, no Group Member is a party to and Holdings has no knowledge of any investigation, notice of apparent liability, violation, forfeiture or other order or written complaint issued by or before any court or regulatory body, or of any other proceedings which would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the validity or continued effectiveness of any Permit held by a Group Member or give rise to any order of forfeiture except for such investigations, notices, violations, forfeitures or other orders, complaints or proceedings, for which the potential penalty, if found in violation, would not reasonably be expected to exceed $500,000 in the aggregate.  No Group Member has received written notice, or has reason to believe, that any Governmental Authority intends to cancel, terminate, modify or amend any material Permit, other than any such notices or intentions affecting the business or assets of any Group Member that could not in the reasonable judgment of Holdings (i) expose any Group Member to liability in an aggregate amount in excess of $500,000 or (ii) reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Each Group Member has filed in a timely manner all material reports, applications, documents, instruments and information required to be filed by it in order to make each material Permit currently outstanding to be in full force and effect pursuant to applicable rules and regulations or requests of every regulatory body having jurisdiction over any of such Permits.

 

(c)                                  No Group Member has engaged in any criminal act in connection with obtaining, maintaining or amending any Permit, including without limitation, unfair trade practices, anti-competitive behavior, bribery or fraud or conspiracy to commit any of the foregoing criminal acts.

 

SECTION 3.18  PATRIOT Act; OFAC.  (a) PATRIOT Act.  To the extent applicable, each of the Group Members is in compliance in all material respects with (i) the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, and each of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended), and any other enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, and (ii) the PATRIOT Act.

 

(b)                                 OFAC.  No Group Member nor, to the knowledge of Holdings, any director or officer of any Group Member is subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”).

 

SECTION 3.19  Security Documents.  (a) The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal and valid first priority security interest in the Collateral described therein (including any proceeds of any item of Collateral).  In the case of (i) the Pledged Securities described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when any stock certificates or notes, as applicable, representing such Pledged Securities are delivered to the Collateral Agent and (ii) the other Collateral described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 3.19(a) (which financing statements have been duly completed and executed (as applicable) and delivered to the Collateral Agent), recordation of the security interest of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties has been made in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and such other filings as are specified on Schedule 3.19(a) are made, the Collateral Agent shall have a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral (including any proceeds of any item of Collateral) (to the extent a security interest in such Collateral can be perfected through the filing of financing statements in the offices specified on Schedule 3.19(a) and the filings specified on Schedule 3.19(a), and through the delivery of the Pledged Securities or required to be delivered on the Closing Date), as security for the Obligations, in each case prior and superior in right to

 

50

 

any other Person (except with respect to Customary Permitted Liens) to the extent required by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Upon the execution and delivery of any Mortgage executed and delivered pursuant to Section 5.14, such Mortgage shall be effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a legal and valid Lien on the mortgaged property described therein and proceeds thereof; and when such Mortgage is filed in the recording office designated by the Borrower, such Mortgage shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such mortgaged property and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the relevant Mortgage), in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except with respect to Customary Permitted Liens or other encumbrances or rights permitted by the relevant Mortgage).

 

SECTION 3.20  Certain Fees.  Except as disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent, no brokers or finder’s fee or commission will be payable with respect hereto of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby acknowledges that (A) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and information provided by or on behalf of Holdings and the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which a Loan Party is a party (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Debt Domain, IntraLinks, Syndtrak or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (B) certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities.  The Borrower agrees to prepare a version of the information package and presentation consisting exclusively of information and documentation that (x) is publicly available, (y) constitutes information of a type that would be made publicly available if Holdings or the Borrower was a public reporting company or (z) is not material with respect to the Borrower or its Affiliates or any of their respective securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities law (all of such information package and presentation, “Public Lender Information”).  The Public Lender Information will be of a type that would be included in any filings made by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with the SEC if the Borrower or such Affiliates were public reporting companies.  Before distribution of any information package and presentation, you agree to identify the portion thereof that may be distributed as Public Lender Information, which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof.  By marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” Holdings and the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Agents and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to Holdings, the Borrower or their securities for

 

56

 

purposes of U.S. federal and state securities Laws; provided, that to the extent that such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be subject to Section 9.12.  All Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information”.  The Agents shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information”.

 

SECTION 5.03  [Reserved].

 

SECTION 5.04  Notices.  (a)  Holdings shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of:

(ii)                                  any event, matter or development (including the commencement of, or any material developments in, any action, investigation, suit, proceeding, audit, claim, demand, order or dispute with, by or before any Governmental Authority affecting any Group Member or any Property of any Group Member) that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(l)            any Indebtedness that is required to be subordinated to the Obligations as required hereunder ceases to be so subordinated;

 

then, and in every such event (other than an event described in clause (f) of this Section), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, take any or all of the following actions, at the same or different times:

ARTICLE VIII

 

AGENCY

 

SECTION 8.01  Appointment and Authorization of Agents.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Barclays 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 Agents and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law.  Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

 

SECTION 8.02  Rights as a Lender.  Any Agent 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 an Agent hereunder.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

 

SECTION 8.03  Exculpatory Provisions.  (a)  No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent shall: (i) be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except (in the case of the Administrative Agent) discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law; and (iii) 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 such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

 

72

 

(b)           The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Article VII and Section 9.02), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”

 

(c)           No Agent-Related Person shall 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 (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than (in the case of the Administrative Agent) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to it.

 

SECTION 8.04  Reliance by Administrative Agent.  Each 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.  Each 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 any Borrowing that by its terms shall be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is reasonably satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to any Borrowing.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

 

SECTION 8.05  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 Term Loan Facility as well as activities as Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

 

SECTION 8.06  Indemnification of Agents.  Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligations of any Loan Party to do so) on a pro rata basis (determined as of the time that the applicable payment is sought based on each Lender’s ratable share at such time) and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person

 

73

 

against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct (and no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lender shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section).  In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights and responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such costs or expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower.

 

To the extent required by any applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any U.S. Federal Income Tax.  If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold U.S. Federal Income Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal Income Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding tax from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred in connection therewith.

 

SECTION 8.07  Resignation of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent (which may be an Affiliate of a Lender), with the consent of the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above.  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on such effective date, where (i) 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 held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.  The fees payable by the Borrower

 

74

 

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 9.03 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.

 

SECTION 8.08  Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.  Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no Agent-Related Persons have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent-Related Persons hereafter take, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person 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 also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person 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 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.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished hereunder, the Agent-Related Persons shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

 

SECTION 8.09  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 Group Member, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Term Loan 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 (but not obligated) 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 Term Loans and all other Secured Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.13 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(c)           Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any

 

76

The benefit of the Loan Documents and of the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Collateral shall extend to and be available in respect of any Secured Obligation arising under any Hedging Agreement or Cash Management Obligation or that is otherwise owed to Persons other than the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (collectively, “Related Obligations”) solely on the condition and understanding, as among the Administrative Agent and all Secured Parties, that (a) the Related Obligations shall be entitled to the benefit of the Loan Documents and the Collateral to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to such extent the Administrative Agent shall hold, and have the right and power to act with respect to, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the Collateral on behalf of and as agent for the holders of the Related Obligations, but the Administrative Agent is otherwise acting solely as agent for the Lenders and shall have no fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Related Obligations, (b) all matters, acts and omissions relating in any manner to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the Collateral, or the omission, creation, perfection, priority, abandonment or release of any Lien, shall be governed solely by the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and no separate Lien, right, power or remedy shall arise or exist in favor of any Secured Party under any separate instrument or agreement or in respect of any Related Obligation, (c) each Secured Party shall be bound by all actions taken or omitted, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, each of whom shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion and exclusively in its own interest given its own interest in the Term Loans and other Obligations to it arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without any duty or liability to any other Secured Party or as to any Related Obligation and without regard to whether any Related Obligation remains outstanding or is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral or becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, (d) no holder of Related Obligations and no other Secured

 

77

 

Party (except the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, to the extent set forth in this Agreement) shall have any right to be notified of, or to direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under this Agreement or the Loan Documents and (e) no holder of any Related Obligation shall exercise any right of setoff, banker’s lien or similar right except to the extent provided in Section 9.08 and then only to the extent such right is exercised in compliance with Section 2.16.

Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to 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 the U.S. federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Group Members or their securities for purposes of the U.S. federal or state securities Laws.

SECTION 9.02  Waivers; Amendments.

 

(a)           No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative; Enforcement.  No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or

 

79

 

under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right remedy, power or privilege, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers or privileges that any such Person would otherwise have.

 

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 Borrower 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 8.01 for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) 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, (ii) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.16) or (iii) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law; provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (x) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.01 and (y) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.16, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights or remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than any fee letters executed prior to the Closing Date), and no consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing executed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

 

(i)            extend or increase any Term Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Article IV or the waiver of any Default shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Term Commitment of any Lender);

 

(ii)           reduce the principal of, or rate of interest specified herein on, any Term Loan or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; provided, that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive the obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate;

 

(iii)          postpone any date scheduled for any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Term Loan, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; provided, that this clause (iii) shall not apply to any changes to Section 2.09 (other than any postponement of any date of payment thereunder);

 

80

 

(iv)          change Section 2.15(b) or Section 2.16 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

 

(v)           change any provision of this Section or the percentage in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

 

(vi)          (x) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or Holdings or any Subsidiary Guarantor from its Guarantee of the Secured Obligations of the Borrower and (y) release Robert F. X. Sillerman from his obligations under the Sillerman Guarantee, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender; or

 

provided, further, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document of the Administrative Agent, unless in writing executed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Borrower and the Lenders required above.

 

In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision, and, in each case, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

81

 

each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs (including settlement costs), reasonable and documented disbursements and out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of counsel and one firm of local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction for the Indemnitees (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional firm of counsel for each affected Person) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (i) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding in any way relating to, arising out of, in connection with or by reason of any of the following, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, litigation or proceeding): (x) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other document delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby; or (y) any Term Commitment, any Borrowing or the use or proposed use thereof or of the proceeds thereof; provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, fees and expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee; or (ii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any other location, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of such Indemnitee and regardless of whether such Indemnitee is a party thereto, and whether or not any such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, its equity holders, its affiliates, its creditors or any other Person.  This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims or costs arising from any non-Tax claims, demands, actions, judgments or suits.

 

(c)           Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no Loan Party or Indemnitee shall assert, and each Loan Party and Indemnitee hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee or Loan Party, respectively, 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, any Loan Document or any other document contemplated thereby, the transactions contemplated thereby, any Term Commitment or any Borrowing, the use thereof or of the proceeds thereof or such Indemnitee’s or Loan Party’s respective activities in connection therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date).

No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials obtained through any Platform or other information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby unless determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

 

(d)           Payments.  All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after demand therefor by the relevant Person entitled thereto.

 

SECTION 9.04  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

(b)           Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Loans); 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 Term Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of an Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned and (B) in any case not described in the foregoing subclause (A), the principal outstanding balance of the Term 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 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, that contemporaneous 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 where such minimum amount has been met.

 

(ii)           Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (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 for assignments unless (x) any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) 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 five 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 any assignment unless such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall acknowledge any such assignment; and

 

(iii)          Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.22(b)), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided, that (x) such fee shall not be payable if the such assignment is made by any Arranger, (y) the

 

83

 

Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such fee in the case of any assignment and (z) in the case of contemporaneous assignments by any Lender to one or more Approved Funds, only a single processing and recording fee shall be payable for such assignments.  The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible 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 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 2.18, 2.19 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph (b) 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 paragraph (d) of this Section.

 

(c)           Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary 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 Term Commitments of, and principal amounts and stated interest of the Term Loans and other amounts 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 Agents and the Lenders shall 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.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (but only, in the case of a Lender, at the Administrative Agent’s Office and with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Term Commitments, Term Loans and other Obligations), 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, a Person that the Administrative Agent has identified in a notice to the Lenders as a Disqualified Institution, the Borrower or any of its 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 Term Commitment and/or the Term 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 and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 8.06 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).  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, waiver or consent in respect 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 consent described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that directly affects such Participant.  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18 and 2.19 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections) to the same extent as

 

84

 

if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided, that (x) such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.22 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (y) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payments under Sections 2.18 and 2.19 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation or unless the sale of such participation is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.22 with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided, that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16 as though it were a Lender.

 

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), maintain a register in the United States on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Term Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Term Commitments, Borrowing or other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that any such Term Commitment, Borrowing or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

 

(e)                                  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 to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; 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.

 

SECTION 9.05              Survival.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in any Loan Document to which it is a party or other documents delivered by or on behalf of it in connection herewith or therewith or pursuant hereto or thereto shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof and the making of the Borrowing hereunder, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Term Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.  The provisions of Sections 2.16, 2.18, 2.19, 9.03, 9.15 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the payment in full of the Obligations or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

 

SECTION 9.06              Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

 

(a)                                 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an

 

85

 

original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees and expenses payable to the Agents and the Lenders (or any of them), constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the 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 in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 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.

 

SECTION 9.07              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.

 

SECTION 9.08              Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender 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 its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate 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, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness.  The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have.  Each Lender 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.

 

SECTION 9.09              Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

 

(a)                                 Governing Law.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan 

 

86

 

Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Law of the State of New York.

 

(b)                                 Jurisdiction.  The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or tort or otherwise, against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Related Party of any of the foregoing, in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in a forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, in such Federal court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.  Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Lender 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.

 

(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 9.01.  Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.

 

SECTION 9.10              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.

 

SECTION 9.11              Headings.  Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

 

SECTION 9.12              Confidentiality.  Each of the Agents and each of the Lenders agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the

 

87

 

confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential in accordance with customary practices); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (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 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder; (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or the Term Loan Facility or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Term Loan Facility; (h) with the consent of the Borrower; or (i) to the extent that such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.  For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries relating to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, that in the case of information received from Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.  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.

 

SECTION 9.13              PATRIOT Act.  Each Lender that is subject to the PATRIOT Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the PATRIOT 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” and anti-money-laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act.

 

SECTION 9.14              Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Term Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Term Loan under applicable Law (collectively, “charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Term Loan in accordance with applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Term Loan hereunder, together with all charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and charges that would have been payable in respect of such Term Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Term Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor)

 

88

 

until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

 

SECTION 9.15              Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, 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, 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 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 Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.

 

SECTION 9.16              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, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (a) (i) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Group Members and any Agent, or any Lender is intended to be or has been created in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents, irrespective of whether any Agent, or any Lender has advised or is advising the Borrower or any Subsidiary on other matters, (ii) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agents and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agents and the Lenders, on the other hand, (iii) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent that it has deemed appropriate and (iv) 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; and (b) (i) the Agents and the Lenders 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 of its Affiliates, or any other Person; (ii) none of the Agents or the Lenders has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Agents and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Agents or the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates.  To the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Agents 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.

LITIGATION

 

1.              The Regas Litigation.

SCHEDULE 3.07

TO

CREDIT AGREEMENT

 

TAXES

 

1.              Sounds to Sample Ltd. is delinquent in filing its accounts for the period April 2011 to March 2012, the reporting of which was due on December 31, 2012, and delinquent on the payment of its tax for that period, which was due on January 1, 2013.  The Corporation Tax Return (CT600) for the period April 2011 to March 2012 (the current reporting period due for the entity) is due March 31, 2013. The amount of tax due will depend on the profits for that 12 month reporting period and will be charged interest at 3% per annum from January 1, 2013.  The tax paid for the previous year was £3,316.00.

 

2.              At the end of 2012, it was brought to the attention of the interim Chief Financial Officer of BEATPORT, LLC that BEATPORT, LLC has not been compliant with respect to income tax withholding on royalty payments made to foreign suppliers for sales to customers in the United States. Specifically, BEATPORT, LLC has not been securing W8BEN forms from its foreign suppliers nor withholding income tax on the royalties paid to the suppliers who are not exempt from income tax withholding in the U.S. BEATPORT, LLC has engaged the accounting firm of EKS&H to assist in ensuring compliance with payments to foreign suppliers in 2013.

 

3.              BEATPORT, LLC is delinquent in filing and paying its Icelandic VAT tax.  The request for filing of the return has been made of BEATPORT, LLC’s supporting accountants in Iceland. BEATPORT, LLC estimates the amount due is less than $5,000.00.

 

4.              The Luxembourg tax authorities have informed Beatport that it owes €301,000 Euros in VAT tax.  Beatport has hired two accounting firms regarding this claim and is currently disputing the claim with the Luxembourg tax authorities.

 

5.              The 2011 statements of accounts, corporate income tax and municipal business tax return, and value added tax return of Beatport S.à.r.l. for 2011 (which are filed as a package) have not been filed, and are estimated to be €94,410.75.  Amounts will be owed for the corporate taxes related to such 2011 statements as of the Closing Date, but estimates of such amounts have been and are regularly accrued on the Company’s balance sheet and estimated advance payments have been made.

SECTION 2.  GUARANTEE

 

2.1          Guarantee.

 

(a)           Each of the Grantors hereby, jointly and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective permitted successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by each other Guarantor when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, (i) the principal of and interest on the Term Loans made to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement, (ii) all other amounts payable by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the punctual and faithful performance, keeping, observance, and fulfillment by the Guarantors of all of the agreements, conditions, covenants, and obligations of the Guarantors contained in the Loan Documents (all of the foregoing being referred to collectively as the “Guaranteed  Obligations”). Each Grantor hereby agrees that this Guarantee is an absolute, irrevocable and unconditional Guarantee of payment and is not a Guarantee of collection. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2 or otherwise in this Agreement or any other Loan Document,

 

5

 

the Guarantee provided by the IDT Entities shall be limited to the aggregate principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest outstanding under the IDT Intercompany Note on the Acceleration Date.

 

(b)           Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Grantor for the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Grantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2.2).

 

(c)           Each Grantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Grantor hereunder without impairing the Guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder.

 

(d)           The Guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all the Obligations (including all obligations of each Grantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2) shall have been satisfied by payment in full (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then asserted or due), notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Loan Parties may be free from any Obligations.

 

(e)           Except as provided in Section 8.14, no payment made by the Borrower, any of the other Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party from the Borrower, any of the other Guarantors or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Grantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations), remain liable for the Guaranteed Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Grantor hereunder until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then asserted or due).

 

2.2          Right of Contribution. Each Grantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Grantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Grantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Grantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder or under the Sillerman Guarantee, as applicable.

 

2.3          No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Grantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Collateral Agent

 

6

 

 

or any other Secured Party against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder or under the Sillerman Guarantee, until all amounts owing to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties on account of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then asserted or due). If any amount shall be paid to any Grantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of such Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Collateral Agent may determine. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations have been satisfied in connection with an exercise of remedies in respect of the Equity Interests of any Loan Party (“Foreclosed Loan Party”), no Loan Party may, at any time, exercise any rights of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or other similar rights against, and may not proceed or seek recourse against or with respect to such Foreclosed Loan Party and/or any property or asset thereof, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, including after indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

2.4          Amendments, Etc. with Respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations made by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party and any of the Guaranteed Obligations continued, and the Guaranteed Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified (including changing the time for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations), accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be, amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of set-off at any time held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Guaranteed Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.

 

2.5          Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Collateral

 

7

 

Agent or any other Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, with respect to the Loan Documents and the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Grantor understands and agrees that the guarantee of such Grantor contained in this Section 2, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and shall not be discharged as a result of or otherwise affected by any of the following:

 

(a)           any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party upon the Guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the Guarantee contained in this Section 2;

 

(b)           diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment, notice of default or nonpayment and any other notice whatsoever to or upon the Borrower or any other Grantor in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of a Borrower or any other Grantor with respect to the Obligations;

 

(c)           the validity or enforceability (or invalidity or unenforceability) of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (or any portion thereof) or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party,

 

(d)           any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other Person against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party,

 

(e)           the absence of (i) any attempt to collect any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof from a Borrower or any other Grantor or other action to enforce the same or (ii) any action to enforce any Loan Document or any Lien hereunder or thereunder;

 

(f)            the failure by any Person to take any steps to perfect and maintain any Lien on, or preserve any rights with respect to any Collateral;

 

(g)           any workout, insolvency, bankruptcy proceeding, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation or dissolution by or against a Borrower, any other Guarantor, or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party or any procedure, agreement, order, stipulation, election, action or omission thereunder, including any discharge or disallowance of, or bar or stay against collection, any Guaranteed Obligation (or any interest therein) in or as a result of any such proceeding;

 

8

 

(h)           any foreclosure, whether or not through judicial sale, and any other sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any election following the occurrence of an Event of Default by any Secured Party to proceed separately against any Collateral in accordance with such Secured Party’s rights under applicable requirement of Law; or

 

(i)            any defense, setoff or counterclaim or any other circumstance whatsoever (other than a defense of payment or performance) (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or any Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any other Grantor from the Guaranteed Obligations, or of such Grantor under the Guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.

 

When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Grantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

 

2.6          Reinstatement. The Guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

 

2.7          Payments. Each Grantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Collateral Agent (a) without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars at the Administrative Agent’s Office and (b) free and clear of, and without deduction for, any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes on the same terms and to the same extent that payments by the Borrower are required to be made pursuant to the terms of Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement, applying the provisions of Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement to such Grantor and the Collateral Agent mutatis mutandis.

 

2.8          Information.

9

 

agrees that none of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise such Grantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

To the extent applicable, each Grantor shall take, or shall refrain from taking, as the case may be, each action that is necessary to be taken or not taken, as the case may be, so that no Default or Event of Default is caused by the failure to take such action or to refrain from taking such action by such Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

5.2          Investment Property.

 

(a)           In the case of each Group Member which is an Issuer, but not a Grantor, such Issuer agrees that (i) it will be bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Pledged Securities issued by it and will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it and (ii) the terms of Sections 6.3(c) and 6.8 shall apply to it, mutatis mutandis, with respect to all actions that may be required of it pursuant to Sections 6.3(c) or 6.8 with respect to the Pledged Securities issued by it.

Each Grantor further acknowledges and agrees that with respect to any interest in any limited liability company or limited partnership controlled now or in the future by such Grantor and pledged hereunder that is not a “Security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC, such Grantor shall at no time elect to treat any such interest as a “Security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC, nor shall such interest be represented by a certificate, unless such Grantor provides prior written notification to the Collateral Agent of such election and such interest is thereafter represented by a certificate that is promptly delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(c)           To the extent that any Pledged Security is a Certificated Security or an Instrument or is an Uncertificated Security that becomes a Certificated Security or Instrument, the applicable Grantor shall promptly deliver such certificates or Instruments evidencing such Pledged Securities to the Collateral Agent together with stock powers or indorsements thereof reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

 

5.3          Commercial Tort Claims. If any Grantor shall at any time after the date of this Agreement acquire or become the beneficiary of a Commercial Tort Claim in an amount reasonably estimated to exceed $750,000 (regardless of whether the defendant or other material facts can be determined and regardless of whether such Commercial Tort Claim has been asserted, threatened or has otherwise been made known to the obligee thereof or whether litigation has been commenced for such claims), such Grantor shall promptly provide the Collateral Agent with a supplement to Schedule 5 hereto describing the details thereof in a manner that reasonably identifies such Commercial Tort Claim and which is otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, and hereby authorizes the filing of additional 

 

14

 

financing statements or amendments to existing financing statements describing such Commercial Tort Claim, and agrees to do such other acts or things reasonably deemed necessary or desirable by the Collateral Agent to provide a perfected security interest in any such Commercial Tort Claim. Any supplement to Schedule 5 delivered pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall, after the receipt thereof by the Collateral Agent, become part of Schedule 5 for all purposes hereunder other than in respect of representations and warranties made prior to the date of such receipt.

 

5.4          Maintenance of Perfected Security Interest; Defense of Claims. Each Grantor agrees to promptly, and in any case within five Business Days after the occurrence thereof, notify the Collateral Agent of any change (i) in its legal name, (ii) in the identity or type of organization or corporate structure of any Grantor, (iii) in the jurisdiction of organization of any Grantor, (iv) in the “location” (as determined in accordance with Section 9-307 of the UCC) of any Grantor or (v) in the organizational identification number of any Grantor. Each Grantor agrees not to effect or permit any change referred to in the preceding sentence unless all filings have been made under the UCC or other applicable Law that are required in order for the Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected (to the extent perfection of the security interest in such property is required by the terms hereof), security interest (subject only to Liens permitted under the Credit Agreement and having priority by operation of applicable Law) in the Collateral for its benefit and the benefit of the other Secured Parties.

(a)           If any amount payable under or in connection with any Collateral owned by such Grantor shall be or become evidenced by an Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper other than such Instrument delivered in accordance with Section 5.2(c) and in the possession of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, immediately deliver such Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper to the Collateral Agent, duly indorsed in a manner satisfactory to the Collateral Agent; provided, that this requirement shall not apply to any interests in such Instruments or Tangible Chattel Paper which have an individual value of $750,000 or less or which, in the aggregate, are in an amount of $1,500,000 or less.

 

(b)           Such Grantor shall not grant “control” (as defined in Article 9-106 of the UCC) over any Investment Property to any Person other than the Collateral Agent.

 

(c)           If such Grantor is or becomes the beneficiary of letters of credit that are not Supporting Obligations with respect to any Collateral, such Grantor shall promptly, and in any event within five Business Days after becoming a beneficiary, notify the Collateral Agent thereof and if requested by the Collateral Agent, enter into a Contractual Obligation with the Collateral Agent, the issuers of such letters of credit or any nominated person with respect to the Letter-of-Credit Rights under such letters of credit; provided, that this requirement shall not apply to all such letters of credit which have an individual value of $750,000 or less or which, in the aggregate, are in an amount of $1,500,000 or less. Such Contractual Obligation shall assign such Letter-of-Credit Rights to the Collateral Agent and such assignment shall be sufficient to grant control for the purposes of Section 9-107 of the UCC (or any similar section under any 

 

15

 

equivalent UCC). Such Contractual Obligation shall also direct all payments thereunder to a Deposit Account subject to a Control Agreement in compliance with Section 5.6. The provisions of the Contractual Obligation shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

 

(d)           If any amount payable under or in connection with any Collateral owned by such Grantor shall be or become evidenced by Electronic Chattel Paper, such Grantor shall take all steps necessary to grant the Collateral Agent control of all such Electronic Chattel Paper for the purposes of Section 9-105 of the UCC (or any similar section under any equivalent UCC) and all “transferable records” as defined in each of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act; provided, that this requirement shall not apply to any interests in such Electronic Chattel Paper which have an individual value of $750,000 or less or which, in the aggregate, are in an amount of $1,500,000 or less.

(b)           With respect to any Commodity Account, Deposit Account or Securities Account created, acquired, established or maintained by such Grantor after the Closing Date other than any Excluded Account, such Granter shall execute and deliver an executed Control Agreement with respect to such Deposit Account, Securities Account or Commodities Account to the Collateral Agent within 30 days of opening such account (or such longer period as the Collateral Agent may consent in its sole discretion).

 

5.7          Intellectual Property. Each Grantor agrees that:

 

(a)           it shall not do any act or omit to do any act whereby any of the Intellectual Property which is material to the business of Grantor or which is of material value may lapse, or become abandoned, dedicated to the public, or unenforceable, or which would adversely affect the validity, grant, or enforceability of the security interest granted therein;

 

(b)           it shall not, with respect to any Trademarks, cease the use of any of such Trademarks, other than in the ordinary course of business, and each Grantor shall take all steps necessary to ensure that licensees of such Trademarks maintain the level of the quality of products sold and services rendered under any of such Trademark at a level at least substantially consistent with the quality of such products and services as of the date hereof;

 

(c)           it shall, within 30 days of the creation or acquisition or exclusive license of any copyrightable work which is material to the business of Grantor, apply to register the Copyright 

 

16

 

 

and, in the case of an exclusive IP License, record such license to such Copyright, in the United States Copyright Office;

 

(d)                                 it shall (i) within 30 days of Grantor or any of its agents, employees, designees or licensees, filing, in the name of or for the benefit of Grantor, an application for the registration of any Patent or Trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any foreign counterpart or (ii) within 14 days of such Grantor receiving, as owner or exclusive licensee, a Copyright registration with the United States Copyright Office or any foreign counterpart, notify the Collateral Agent and upon request of the Collateral Agent, promptly execute and deliver documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Collateral;

 

(e)                                  it shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent if it knows or has reason to know that any item of Intellectual Property may become (i) abandoned or dedicated to the public or placed in the public domain, (ii) invalid or unenforceable, (iii) subject to any adverse determination or development (including the institution of proceedings) in any action or proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, any state registry, any foreign counterpart of the foregoing, or any court or (iv) be the subject of any reversion or termination rights;

(g)                                  it shall not permit the inclusion in any contract to which it hereafter becomes a party of any provision that could or might in any way materially impair or prevent the creation of a security interest in, or the assignment of, such Grantor’s rights and interests in any property included within the definitions of any Intellectual Property acquired under such contracts;

 

(h)                                 in the event that any material Intellectual Property owned by or exclusively licensed to any Grantor is infringed, misappropriated, or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall promptly take all commercially reasonable actions to stop such infringement, misappropriation, or dilution and protect its rights in such Intellectual Property including, but not limited to, the initiation of a suit for injunctive relief and to recover damages;

 

(i)                                     it shall take all steps reasonably necessary to protect the secrecy of all Trade Secrets, including, without limitation, entering into confidentiality agreements with employees and consultants and labeling and restricting access to secret information and documents;

 

(j)                                    it shall use proper statutory notice in connection with its use of any of the Intellectual Property; and

 

(k)                                 it shall continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of Intellectual Property or any portion thereof. In connection with such collections, each Grantor may take (and, at the Collateral Agent’s reasonable direction, shall take) such action as such Grantor or the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or

 

17

 

advisable to enforce collection of such amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time, to notify, or require any Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to any such amounts of the existence of the security interest created hereby.

 

5.8                               Maintenance of Perfected Security Interest; Further Documentation and Consents.

 

(a)                                 No Grantor shall (i) use or permit any Collateral to be used unlawfully or in violation of any provision of any Loan Document, any Related Document, any requirement of Law or any policy of insurance covering the Collateral or (ii) enter into any Contractual Obligation or undertaking restricting the right or ability of such Grantor or the Collateral Agent to transfer any Collateral if such restriction would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(b)                                 Such Grantor shall maintain the security interest created by this Agreement as a perfected security interest and, if reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, shall defend such security interest and such priority against the claims and demands of all Persons.

 

(c)                                  Such Grantor shall furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other documents in connection with the Collateral as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

 

(d)                                 At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor shall, for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, (i) promptly and duly execute and deliver, and have recorded, such further documents, including an authorization to file (or, as applicable, the filing) of any financing statement or amendment under the UCC (or other filings under similar requirements of Law) in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the security interest created hereby and (ii) take such further action as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, including using its commercially reasonable efforts to secure all approvals necessary or appropriate for the assignment to or for the benefit of the Collateral Agent of any Contractual Obligation held by such Grantor and to enforce the security interests granted hereunder.

 

(e)                                  To ensure that any of the Excluded Assets set forth in clauses (iii)(B) and (C) of the proviso of Section 3.1 becomes part of the Collateral, such Grantor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any required consents from any Person (other than the Loan Parties and their Affiliates, whose consent shall be required) with respect to any Permit or any Contractual Obligation with such Person entered into by such Grantor that requires such consent as a condition to the creation by such Grantor of a Lien on any right, title or interest in such permit, license or Contractual Obligation or any Capital Stock related thereto.

 

SECTION 6.                            REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

 

6.1                               Certain Matters Relating to Receivables.

 

(a)                                 At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon the Collateral Agent’s reasonable request and at the expense of the relevant Grantor, such Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause independent public

 

18

 

accountants or others satisfactory to the Collateral Agent to furnish to the Collateral Agent reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Receivables.

 

(b)                                 If required by the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within three Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent for the account of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties only as provided in Section 6.6 and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

 

(c)                                  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and at the Collateral Agent’s request, each Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent all documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables, including, without limitation, all orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

 

6.2                               Communications with Grantors; Grantors Remain Liable.

 

(a)                                 Upon the request of the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Receivables that such Receivables have been assigned to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and that payments in respect of such Receivables shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent.

 

(b)                                 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under the Receivables (or any agreements giving rise thereto) to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

 

6.3                               Pledged Securities; Dividends.

 

(a)                                 Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Collateral Agent’s intent

 

19

 

to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to paragraph (b) below, each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate or other organizational rights with respect to the Pledged Securities.

 

(b)                                 If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent has given notice to the relevant Grantor or Grantors of its intent to exercise such rights, (i) unless otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Securities of such Grantor or Grantors and make application thereof to the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in Section 6.6 and (ii) any or all of the Pledged Securities of such Grantor or Grantors shall be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee, and the Collateral Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Securities at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Securities as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Securities upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Securities, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Securities with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing unless the Collateral Agent has given notice of its intent to exercise as set forth above.

 

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

 

(d)                                 After all Events of Default have been cured or waived in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, and so long as the Secured Obligations shall not have been accelerated, (i) each Grantor shall have the right to exercise the voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Securities that it would have otherwise been entitled to and receive all cash dividends, payments, or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Securities which it would be authorized to receive and retain, in each case, pursuant to paragraph (a) above, and, to the extent necessary, the Collateral Agent shall deliver a proxy in favor of such Grantor evidencing the same and (ii) to the extent that the Collateral Agent has exercised its rights under paragraph (b)(ii), the Collateral Agent shall, promptly after the written request of the applicable Grantor, cause such Pledged Securities to be registered in the name of such Grantor to the extent such Grantor or its nominees holds an interest in such Collateral at such time.

 

20

 

6.4                               Intellectual Property.

 

(a)                                 Without limiting any rights of the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents, for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise its rights and remedies under this Section 6, solely during such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and at no other time or for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, an irrevocable, non-exclusive IP License (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) under the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired or created by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located; provided, that nothing in this Section 6.4 shall require a Grantor to grant any IP License that is prohibited by any Law or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of or gives rise to any right of acceleration, modification or cancellation under any Contractual Obligation with respect to such Property; provided, further, that such IP Licenses to be granted hereunder with respect to Trademarks shall be subject to the maintenance of quality standards with respect to the goods and services on which such Trademarks are used sufficient to preserve the validity of such Trademarks.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of Section 6.04 of the Credit Agreement that limit the rights of the Grantors to dispose of their Property and subject to the Collateral Agent’s exercise of its rights and remedies under this Section 6, the Grantors will be permitted to exploit, use, enjoy, protect, license, sublicense, assign, sell, dispose of or take other actions with respect to their Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of the business of the Grantors. The Grantors (or their licensees) shall not do any act or omit to do any act whereby any Intellectual Property that is necessary for the operations of such Grantor’s business may become invalidated or otherwise impaired. In furtherance of the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall from time to time, upon the request of the respective Grantor, execute and deliver any instruments, certificates or other documents, in the form so requested, that such Grantor shall have certified are appropriate in its judgment to allow it to take any action permitted above (including relinquishment of the IP License provided pursuant to paragraph (a) above as to any specific Intellectual Property). Further, upon the payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then asserted or due) or earlier expiration of this Agreement or release of the Collateral, the IP License granted pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall terminate and become null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exercise of rights and remedies under this Section 6 by the Collateral Agent shall not terminate the rights of the holders of any licenses or sublicenses theretofore granted by the Grantors in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph (b).

 

(c)                                  If at any time the Trademarks within the Collateral contain any “intent-to-use” applications, the Collateral Agent shall refrain from exercising any of its rights under this Section 6, solely to the extent such exercise would impair the ability to obtain a registration from such “intent-to-use” Trademark application, or the validity or enforceability of any registration that issues from any such applications or cause a Grantor to abandon any such applications.

 

6.5                               Proceeds to be Turned Over To Collateral Agent. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the

 

21

 

other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, promptly upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all of the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.7.

 

6.6                               Application of Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Loans shall have been accelerated pursuant to Article VII of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral and any proceeds of the Guarantee set forth in Section 2, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any Collateral or otherwise reasonably relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Collateral Agent and any other Secured Party hereunder, in payment of the Secured Obligations, and shall make any such application in accordance with Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any requirement of Law, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor.

 

6.7                               Code and Other Remedies.

 

(a)                                 UCC Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable Law.

 

(b)                                 Disposition of Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below or notices otherwise provided in the Loan Documents) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived unless otherwise provided in the Loan Documents), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Collateral Agent or any Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Any Agent or any Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released.

 

22

 

(c)                                  Management of Collateral. Each Grantor further agrees, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere, (ii) without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Agent also has the right to require that each Grantor store and keep any Collateral pending further action by the Collateral Agent and, while any such Collateral is so stored or kept, provide such guards and maintenance services as shall be reasonably necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain such Collateral in good condition, (iii) until the Collateral Agent is able to transfer any Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to hold or use such Collateral to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving the Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent and (iv) the Collateral Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of any Collateral and to enforce any of the Collateral Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent’s rights under this paragraph (c) are subject to the applicable limitations under federal Law. The Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation to any Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of any Grantor as against third parties with respect to any Collateral while such Collateral is in the possession of the Collateral Agent.

 

(d)                                 Application of Proceeds. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.7, after deducting all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every kind actually incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements of one firm of counsel, one firm of local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction, and in case of an actual or potential conflict, one firm of special counsel, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as the Collateral Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of Law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the UCC, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 Business Days before such sale or other disposition.

 

(e)                                  Direct Obligation. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any right or remedy against, any Grantor, any other Loan Party or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any right or remedy with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof. All of the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent and any other Secured Party under any Loan Document shall be cumulative, may be exercised individually or concurrently and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by any applicable requirement of Law. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety, now or hereafter existing, arising out of the exercise by them of any rights 

 

23

 

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

 

(f)                                   Commercially Reasonable. To the extent that applicable requirements of Law impose duties on the Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to do any of the following:

 

(i)                                     fail to incur significant costs, expenses or other Liabilities reasonably deemed as such by the Collateral Agent to prepare any Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition;

 

(ii)                                  fail to obtain Permits, or other consents, for access to any Collateral to transfer or for the collection or transfer of any Collateral, or, if not required by other requirements of Law, fail to obtain Permits or other consents for the collection or disposition of any Collateral;

 

(iii)                               fail to exercise remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on any Collateral or to remove Liens on any Collateral or to remove any adverse claims against any Collateral;

 

(iv)                              advertise dispositions of any Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature or to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring any such Collateral;

 

(v)                                 exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on any Collateral, directly or through the use of collection agencies or other collection specialists, hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of any Collateral, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature or, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent, obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any Collateral, or utilize Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets to dispose of any Collateral;

 

(vi)                              dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets;

 

(vii)                           disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment; or

 

(viii)                        purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of any Collateral or to provide to the Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of any Collateral.

 

24

 

Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 6.7 is to provide a non-exhaustive list of actions or omissions that are commercially reasonable when exercising remedies against any Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Secured Parties shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 6.7. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 6.7 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable requirements of Law in the absence of this Section 6.7.

 

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

 

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

 

6.10                        Limited Forbearance.

 

(a)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties agree that beginning on the Acceleration Date and until the expiration or termination of the Forbearance Period, the Collateral Agent will temporarily forbear from exercising its default-related rights and remedies available hereunder or any other Loan Document, solely with respect to the Collateral pledged hereunder by the IDT Entities (the “IDT Collateral”); provided that such forbearance will not affect any other rights or remedies of the Collateral Agent or other Secured Parties against any other Group Member until the expiration or termination of the Forbearance Period, including against the Equity Interests of the IDT Entities owned by any Grantor (that is not an IDT Entity).

 

(b)                                 Forbearance Period. As used herein, the term “Forbearance Period” shall mean the period beginning on the Acceleration Date and ending on the earlier to occur of any of the following (the occurrence of clause (i), (ii) or (iii) being a “Forbearance Termination Event”): (i) the occurrence of any Bankruptcy Default, (ii) the date on which the Collateral Agent delivers to the Borrower a notice terminating the Forbearance Period, which notice may be delivered at any time upon or after the occurrence of any Forbearance Default other than a Bankruptcy Default, or 

 

25

 

(iii) the one year anniversary of the Acceleration Date. Any Forbearance Default shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents.

 

(c)                                  Occurrence of a Forbearance Termination Event. Upon the occurrence of a Forbearance Termination Event, the agreement of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder to forbear from exercising their respective default-related rights and remedies with respect to the IDT Collateral shall terminate automatically. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties each agree that the Collateral Agent and any Secured Party may at any time, after the occurrence of a Forbearance Termination Event, proceed to exercise any and all of their respective rights and remedies under any or all of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or applicable law.

 

(d)                                 Acknowledgements re Forbearance. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties each acknowledge that the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties have not made any assurances concerning (i) any possibility of an extension of the Forbearance Period, (ii) the manner in which or whether any existing Event of Default may be resolved or (iii) any additional forbearance, waiver, restructuring or other accommodations. The Loan Parties agree that the running of all statutes of limitation and the doctrine of laches applicable to all claims or causes of action that any Secured Party may be entitled to take or bring in order to enforce its rights and remedies against any Loan Party are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, tolled and suspended during the Forbearance Period. The Loan Parties and the Secured Parties acknowledge that they may undertake discussions regarding possible modifications of one or more of the Loan Documents. Each such party acknowledges that no other party is under any obligation with respect to any such discussions and that each party’s entrance into any such discussions is purely voluntary. Each party agrees that, notwithstanding any conversations or correspondence between them, no obligation shall arise until such time, if any, as formal written documents have been entered into. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no party shall be entitled to rely on any statements or promises of any other party other than those set forth in any such formal written document.

 

SECTION 7.                            THE COLLATERAL AGENT

 

7.1                               Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.

 

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

 

(i)                                     in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other 

 

26

 

instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

 

(ii)                                  in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may request to evidence and/or perfect the Secured Parties’ security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

 

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

 

(iv)                              execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.7 or 6.8, any indorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

 

(v)                                 (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do;

 

27

 

provided, that anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

 

(b)                                 If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may give such Grantor written notice of such failure to perform or comply and if such Grantor fails to perform or comply within five Business Days of receiving such notice (or if the Collateral Agent reasonably determines that irreparable harm to the Collateral or to the security interest of the Secured Parties hereunder could result prior to the end of such five Business Day period), then the Collateral Agent may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

 

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

 

7.2                               Duty of Collateral Agent. To the extent permitted by law, the Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. None of the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or that of their directors, officers, employees or agents. In addition, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehousemen, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other bailee if such Person has been selected by the Collateral Agent.

 

7.3                               Authorization of Financing Statements. Pursuant to any applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) under this Agreement. Each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to use the collateral description “all personal property” or any similar phrase in any such financing statements.

 

28

 

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

 

SECTION 8.                            MISCELLANEOUS

 

8.1                               Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement; provided, that annexes to this Agreement may be supplemented (but no existing provisions may be modified and no Collateral may be released) through Assumption Agreements, in substantially the form of Annex I duly executed by the Collateral Agent and the applicable Additional Grantor.

 

8.2                               Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon Holdings or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be addressed to Holdings or such Subsidiary Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1.

 

8.3                               No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1 above), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law. By its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, each Secured Party agrees that the Loan Documents may be enforced only by the Collateral Agent as provided for in the Credit Agreement, and that no Secured Party shall have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon any Collateral or other security given to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations.

 

8.4                               Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or 

 

29

 

disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 9.03 (taking into account the limitations set forth therein) of the Credit Agreement. The agreements in this Section 8.4 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

8.5                               Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their successors and permitted assigns; provided, that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent (it being understood that Sales and fundamental changes permitted under the Credit Agreement shall not be subject to this proviso).

 

8.6                               Set-Off. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, each other Secured Party and each of their respective Affiliates at any time and from time to time, in each case, while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Grantor or any other Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor, to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by each Grantor (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise after the expiration of any applicable grace periods) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding trust accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor. Each of the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party shall notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off made by it or its respective Affiliates and the application made by it of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

 

8.7                               Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy or other electronic means), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

 

8.8                               Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

8.9                               Section Headings. The section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

 

30

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this paragraph (e) any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages; provided, that nothing in this sentence shall limit the indemnification obligations of any Guarantor with respect to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising in a third party claim against an Indemnitee.

 

31

 

8.12                        Acknowledgements. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that:

(a)                                 At such time as the Term Loans and the other Obligations (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then asserted or due) shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, the Collateral Agent shall take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all guarantee obligations provided for in any Loan Document and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Collateral Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors.

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

 

8.17                        Independent Obligations. The obligations of each Grantor hereunder are independent of and separate from the Secured Obligations. If any Secured Obligation is not paid when due, or upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may, at its sole election, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Grantor and any Collateral to collect and recover the full amount of any Secured Obligation then due, without first proceeding against any other Grantor, any other Loan Party or any other Collateral and without first joining any other Grantor or any other Loan Party in any proceeding.

(a)                                 The execution and delivery by the Individual Guarantor of this Guarantee and the performance of his obligations hereunder constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Individual Guarantor, enforceable against him in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyances, reorganization or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

 

(b)                                 Neither the execution and delivery by the Individual Guarantor of this Guarantee, nor the consummation by the Individual Guarantor of the transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance by the Individual Guarantor with the terms and provisions hereof, will (i) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default

 

1

 

under any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award (including, without limitation, any environmental property transfer laws or regulations) applicable to the Individual Guarantor or his assets or any provisions of any material indenture, instrument or agreement to which the Individual Guarantor is party or is subject or which he or his property is bound or affected, or require termination of any such indenture, instrument or agreement or (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien whatsoever upon any of the property or assets of the Individual Guarantor, other than Customary Permitted Liens;

 

(c)                                  The Individual Guarantor has negotiated and is entering into this Guarantee freely and voluntarily after full consultation with sophisticated legal, financial and other counsel of his choosing. The Individual Guarantor understands this Guarantee, the risk inherent in it, and its significance;

 

(d)                                 The personal financial statements prepared or furnished by or on behalf of the Individual Guarantor in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Guarantee or delivered hereunder fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Individual Guarantor as of the dates therein indicated;

 

(e)                                  The Individual Guarantor has at least $100,000,000 in Approved Investments (as defined below), at cash accounts located in the United States owned solely, legally, beneficially and of record by him (any such accounts collectively, the “Cash Accounts”);

 

(f)                                   there are no pending (or, to the knowledge of the Individual Guarantor, threatened in writing) actions, investigations, suits, proceedings, audits, claims, written demands, orders or disputes to which the Individual Guarantor is a party with, by or before any Governmental Authority, other than those that, if adversely determined, could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Individual Guarantor; and

 

(g)                                  The signature page hereof of the Individual Guarantor sets forth the true and correct legal name of the Individual Guarantor and the principal residence currently used by the Individual Guarantor. Except as listed on such signature page, the Individual Guarantor has not had any other legal name or principal residence during the three year period preceding the date hereof.

2

 

then asserted or due), the Individual Guarantor hereby agrees and covenants to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders that the Individual Guarantor:

 

(a)                                 shall at all times retain an amount that is no less than the lesser of (i) $100,000,000 or (ii) 200% of the amount of the outstanding Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then asserted or due) in Approved Investments at Cash Accounts;

 

(b)                                 shall furnish to the Collateral Agent (i) as soon as available, and in any event within 15 days after filing, the federal income tax returns of the Individual Guarantor and (ii) as soon as available, and in any event within 15 days of the end of each calendar month, a personal financial statement on a form acceptable to the Collateral Agent, together with copies of all account statements for any Cash Account;

 

(c)                                  shall not, (i) directly or indirectly, incur or otherwise remain liable with respect to or be responsible for, any Indebtedness other than (x) Indebtedness existing and outstanding as of the date hereof in the aggregate amount of $42,000,000, (y) the Indebtedness incurred under this Guarantee and (z) additional Indebtedness, in any case, not to be secured by any Cash Account at any time, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $25,000,000 at any time outstanding or (ii) incur, maintain or otherwise suffer to exist any Lien upon any Cash Account, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or assign any right to receive income or profits therefrom, except for Liens with respect to the payment of taxes, assessments or other governmental charges or of carriers, materialmen, warehousemen, workmen or mechanics and other similar Liens, in each case imposed by law or arising in the ordinary course;

 

(d)                                 shall maintain sole direct, legal and beneficial ownership of any Cash Account and shall not, directly or indirectly, provide any other Person with any interest or ownership, whether joint or several, legal or beneficial or otherwise, in such Cash Account;

 

(e)                                  shall not (i) fail to make any payment when due (whether due because of scheduled maturity, required prepayment provisions, acceleration, demand or otherwise), after the lapse of all applicable grace periods under any Indebtedness having a principal amount of $25,000,000 or more (the “Material Indebtedness”), (ii) suffer any event or material condition if the effect of such event or condition, after the lapse of all applicable grace periods, is to accelerate, or to permit the acceleration of, the maturity of such Material Indebtedness, (iii) allow any Material Indebtedness to become or be declared to be due and payable, prior to the stated maturity thereof or (iv) suffer any proceeding seeking to adjudicate the Individual Guarantor bankrupt or insolvent or seek protection, relief, composition of the Individual Guarantor or the Individual Guarantor’s debts or any similar order, in each case under any requirement of Law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; and

 

(f)                                   shall, together with each delivery of any federal income tax return, personal financial statement or account statement delivered pursuant to clause (b) of this Section (the “Documents”), deliver a certificate, (i) attaching the applicable Documents and certifying that the included Cash Account statements and income tax returns are true, correct and complete copies of the same and that the attached personal financial statements fairly present in all

material respects the financial position of the Individual Guarantor as of the dates indicated and (ii) confirming compliance with each of clauses (a) through (e) of this Section;

 

SECTION 3. The Guarantee. The Individual Guarantor hereby, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, unconditionally and irrevocably, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, guarantees to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective permitted successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the full and punctual payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, (i) the principal of and interest on the Term Loans made to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement and (ii) all other amounts (including all interest and expenses accrued or incurred subsequent to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding with respect to the Borrower, whether or not such interest or expenses are allowed as a claim in such proceeding) payable by the Borrower or any other Guarantor under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (all of the foregoing being referred to collectively as the “Guaranteed Obligations”); provided that, in any case, the term Guaranteed Obligations as used herein shall (x) not include any Hedging and Cash Management Obligations, including Hedging and Cash Management Obligations of any other Guarantor and (y) with respect to principal amount and interest rate (including, without limitation, any Default Interest) and Obligations pursuant to Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement, be defined and calculated based on the definitions in and terms of the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents as of the date hereof unless otherwise acknowledged by the Individual Guarantor. The Individual Guarantor agrees that he shall forthwith on demand pay any Guaranteed Obligations at the place and in the manner specified in the Credit Agreement or the relevant other Loan Document, as the case may be. The Individual Guarantor hereby agrees that this Guarantee is an absolute, irrevocable, joint and several and unconditional Guarantee of payment and is not a Guarantee of collection. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guarantee, in the event that the Borrower or any other Guarantor receives a waiver under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents for a failure to pay any amount or perform any obligation thereunder, then any such waiver shall also apply to any of Individual Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee with respect to the same. This Guarantee is a continuing guarantee and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the termination of this Guarantee in accordance with Section 5, unless reinstated in accordance with Section 5, (b) be binding upon the Individual Guarantor, the Individual Guarantor’s successors and permitted assigns, including without limitation, the Individual Guarantor’s estate and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent and their successors, transferees and permitted assigns.

 

SECTION 4. Guarantee Unconditional. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the obligations of the Individual Guarantor hereunder shall be unconditional, continuing, joint and several and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

 

(a)                                 except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any extension, renewal, settlement, indulgence, compromise, waiver or release of or with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any obligation of the Borrower or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether (in any such case) by operation of law or otherwise, or any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or

 

4

 

remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any obligation of the Borrower or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

(b)                                 any modification or amendment of or supplement to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any such amendment which may increase the amount of, or the interest rates applicable to, any of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby;

 

(c)                                  any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, any other guarantees with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any other obligation of any person or entity with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any nonperfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

(d)                                 any change in the corporate or other existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or other Guarantors, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower or any other Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any of their respective assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

(e)                                  the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Individual Guarantor may have at any time against the Borrower or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Collateral Agent, any Secured Party or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in connection with any unrelated transactions;

 

(f)                                   the enforceability or validity of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any other invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason related to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Borrower or any other Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

(g)                                  the failure of the Collateral Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain any security interest in, or to preserve any rights to, any security or collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, if any;

 

(h)                                 the election by, or on behalf of, any one or more of the Secured Parties, in any proceeding instituted under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code;

 

(i)                                     any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any Loan Party, as debtor- in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code;

 

5

 

(j)                                    the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of the claims of the Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent for repayment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or

 

(k)                                 any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, any Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Collateral Agent, any Secured Party or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this Section 3, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Individual Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

 

SECTION 5. Discharge Only Upon Payment In Full; Reinstatement In Certain Circumstances. The Individual Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then asserted or due), at which time, subject to all the foregoing conditions, the guarantee made hereunder shall be terminated and the Individual Guarantor shall be released and discharged from the obligations hereunder; provided that if at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Term Loan, Obligation or any other amount payable by the Borrower or any other party under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Individual Guarantor or any Loan Party or otherwise, the Individual Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated to the extent of such rescission, restoration or return and the Individual Guarantor shall indemnify the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by them in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law. In connection with the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to the Individual Guarantor or the Individual Guarantor’s designee, at the Individual Guarantor’s expense, any documents or instruments which the Individual Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination and release.

 

SECTION 6. General Waivers; Additional Waivers.

 

(a)                                 General Waivers. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Individual Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, diligence, presentment, demand or action on delinquency, protest, the benefit of any statutes of limitations and any notice not provided for herein or under the other Loan Documents, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Borrower or any Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other Person.

 

(b)                                 Additional Waivers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Individual Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly, and expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law:

 

(i)                                     any right the Individual Guarantor may have to revoke this Guarantee as to future indebtedness or notice of acceptance hereof;

 

6

 

(ii)                                  (1) notice of any loans or other financial accommodations made or extended under the Loan Documents or the creation or existence of any Guaranteed Obligations; (2) notice of the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, subject, however, to the Individual Guarantor’s right to make inquiry of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties to ascertain the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations at any reasonable time; (3) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or of any other fact that might increase the Individual Guarantor’s risk hereunder; (4) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any instruments among the Loan Documents; (5) notice of any Default or Event of Default; and (6) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to the Individual Guarantor hereunder or under the Loan Documents) and demands to which the Individual Guarantor might otherwise be entitled;

 

(iii)                               the Individual Guarantor’s right, if any, to require the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties to institute suit against, or to exhaust any rights and remedies which the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties have or may have against, any other Guarantor or any third party, or against any Collateral provided by such Guarantor, or any third party; and the Individual Guarantor further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than the defense that the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully and indefeasibly paid) of any other Guarantor or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of such Guarantor in respect thereof;

 

(iv)                              (a) any rights to assert against the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which the Individual Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against any other party liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties; (b) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor; (c) any defense such Individual Guarantor has to performance hereunder, and any right the Individual Guarantor has to be exonerated, arising by reason of: the impairment or suspension of the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ rights or remedies against the Loan Parties; the alteration by the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties of the Guaranteed Obligations; any discharge of any Guarantor’s obligations to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties by operation of law as a result of the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ intervention or omission; or the acceptance by the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties of anything in partial satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (d) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Individual Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of limitations applicable to the Guaranteed Obligations shall similarly operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to the Individual Guarantor’s liability hereunder;

 

(v)                                 any defense arising by reason of or deriving from (a) any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties; or (b) any election by the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties under Section

 

7

 

1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, to limit the amount of, or any collateral securing, the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

(vi)                              all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the creditor, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed the Individual Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; and

 

(vii)                           all rights and defenses that the Individual Guarantor may have because the Guaranteed Obligations are secured by real property, meaning, among other things, that the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may collect from the Individual Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; provided however, that if the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations: (1) the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; and (2) the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may collect from the Individual Guarantor even if the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right the Individual Guarantor may have to collect from such Guarantor (this being an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the Individual Guarantor may have because the Guaranteed Obligations are secured by real property).

 

(c)                                  any right to require the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties to institute suit against, or to exhaust any rights and remedies which either the Collateral Agent or any Secured Parties has or may have against any other Guarantor or any third party, or against any collateral provided by any Guarantor, or any third party; and the Individual Guarantor further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than the defense that the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid) of any other Guarantor or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of such Guarantor in respect thereof.

 

SECTION 7. Waiver of Rights of Subrogation, Contribution and Indemnification. Notwithstanding any payment made by the Individual Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of the Individual Guarantor by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, the Individual Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall the Individual Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by the Individual Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties by the Borrower on account of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then asserted or due). If any amount shall be paid to the Individual Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of such Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, such amount shall be held by the Individual Guarantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured

 

8

 

Parties, segregated from other funds of the Individual Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Individual Guarantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by the Individual Guarantor (duly indorsed by the Individual Guarantor to the Collateral Agent, if required), to be applied against the Secured Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Collateral Agent may determine. The Individual Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that these waivers are intended to benefit the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and shall not limit or otherwise affect the Individual Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Guarantee, and that the Collateral Agent, the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 7.

 

SECTION 8. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is prevented or stayed by injunction or stay or upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall nonetheless be due and payable by the Individual Guarantor hereunder forthwith on demand by the Collateral Agent.

 

SECTION 9. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be given in the manner prescribed in the Credit Agreement with respect to the Collateral Agent at its notice address therein and, with respect to the Individual Guarantor, at the address listed on the Individual Guarantor’s signature page hereto, or such other address or telecopy number as such party may hereafter specify for such purpose in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement.

 

SECTION 10. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in this Guarantee, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

 

SECTION 11. Acknowledgments. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Grantor arising out of or in connection with this Guarantee or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Individual Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor.

 

SECTION 12. Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. The Individual Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Collateral Agent and the Lenders harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Guarantee to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 9.03 (taking into account the limitations set forth therein) of the Credit Agreement. The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the

 

9

 

Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

SECTION 13. Successors and Assigns. This Guarantee is for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, provided, that the Individual Guarantor shall not have any right to assign his rights or obligations hereunder without the consent of the Collateral Agent, and any such assignment in violation of this Section shall be null and void; and in the event of an assignment of any amounts payable under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents in accordance with the respective terms thereof, the rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness so assigned, may be transferred with such indebtedness. Subsequent to any such assignment, the Guarantee shall remain binding upon the Individual Guarantor. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the Individual Guarantor’s successors, assigns, heirs, administrators, executors and legal representatives. Notwithstanding anything in this Guarantee or any other Loan Document to the contrary, in the event of the death or disability of the Individual Guarantor, this Guarantee shall remain binding on the Individual Guarantor’s estate or legal representatives, as the case may be.

 

SECTION 14. Set-Off. The Individual Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates at any time and from time to time, in each case, while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to the Individual Guarantor or any other Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by the Individual Guarantor, to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Individual Guarantor (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise after the expiration of any applicable grace periods) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding trust accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Collateral Agent or such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Individual Guarantor. Each of the Collateral Agent and each Lender shall notify the Individual Guarantor promptly of any such set-off made by it or its respective Affiliates and the application made by it of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

 

SECTION 15. Changes in Writing. Neither this Guarantee nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only in writing signed by each of the Individual Guarantor and the Collateral Agent.

 

SECTION 16. Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

 

(a)                                 Governing Law. This Guarantee and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Guarantee and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Law of the State of New York.

 

(b)                                 Jurisdiction. The Individual Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that he will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in

 

10

 

law or equity, whether in contract or tort or otherwise, against the Collateral Agent, any Lender, any Related Party of any of the foregoing, in any way relating to this Guarantee or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in a forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

11

 

Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, that diligent inquiry would reveal, and the Individual Guarantor hereby agrees that none of the Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent shall have any duty to advise the Individual Guarantor of information known to any of them regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event any Secured Party or the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to the Individual Guarantor, such Secured Party or the Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation (i) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (ii) to disclose any information which such Secured Party or the Collateral Agent, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (iii) to make any other or future disclosures of such information or any other information to the Individual Guarantor.

Any provision of this Guarantee which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

SECTION 21. Integration. This Guarantee represents the final agreement of the Individual Guarantor with respect to the matters contained herein and supersedes and replaces all prior agreements concerning the matters herein. The terms of this Guarantee may not be contradicted by evidence of prior or contemporaneous agreements, or subsequent oral agreements, between the Individual Guarantor and any Secured Party or the Collateral Agent. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Guarantee shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of any party under, the Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents, nor alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. It is understood and agreed that each reference to a Loan Document in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether direct or indirect, shall hereafter be deemed to include a reference to this Guarantee and that this Guarantee is a Loan Document.

 

SECTION 22. Headings. The Section headings used in this Guarantee are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Guarantee and shall not affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in interpreting this Guarantee.

 

SECTION 23. Independent Obligations. The obligations of the Individual Guarantor hereunder are independent of and separate from the Secured Obligations. If any Secured Obligation is not paid when due, or upon any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may, at its sole election, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against the Individual Guarantor and any Collateral to collect and recover the full amount of any Secured Obligation then due, without

first proceeding against any other Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other Collateral and without first joining any other Guarantor or any Loan Party in any proceeding.
