Schedule 3

SECOND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

 

 

Without prejudice and subject to contract

This Agreement is made on
__________________ between Xenetic Biosciences (UK) Limited (the “Company”), Lipoxen Technologies Limited
(“LTL”) and Colin Hill (the “Employee”).

Background

		A.	The Company and the Employee have already entered into a settlement agreement dated [ ] ("the
First Settlement Agreement"). It is a term of the First Settlement Agreement that the parties enter into a second settlement
agreement at the date the Employee’s employment terminates to confirm that the Employee waives any additional claims that
he might have against the Company or any Third Party.

		B.	All the terms of the First Settlement Agreement continue to apply and remain in force. They are not
superseded by the terms of this Agreement. Furthermore, all defined terms have the same meaning when used in this Agreement as
in the First Settlement Agreement.

		1.	Payment

		1.1	Subject to the terms and conditions set out in the First Settlement Agreement, the Company will
make the payments set out therein.

		2.	Settlement

		2.1	Save as provided for under clauses 2.5 and 2.6 of the First Settlement Agreement, the Employee
agrees that the terms of this Agreement are offered by the Company without any admission of liability on the part of the Company
and are in full and final settlement of all and any claims or rights of action that the Employee has or may have against the Company,
LTL or any Group Company or its officers or employees whether arising out of his employment with the Company or LTL or its termination
or otherwise from events occurring after the First Settlement Agreement was entered into, whether under common law, contract, statute
or otherwise, whether such claims are, or could be, known to the parties or in their contemplation at the date of this Agreement
in any jurisdiction and including, but not limited to, the claims specified in Schedule 1 to the First Settlement Agreement (each
of which is hereby intimated and waived).

		2.2	Clause 2.1 above applies to all present and future claims, costs, expenses or rights of action
save in relation to the matters referred to in clause 6.2 of the First Settlement Agreement above and shall have effect irrespective
of whether or not the Employee is or could be aware of such claims, costs, expenses or rights of action at the date of this Agreement
and irrespective of whether such claims, costs, expenses or rights of action are in the express contemplation of the Company, LTL
and the Employee at the date of this Agreement (including such claims of which the Employee becomes aware after the date of this
Agreement in whole or in part as a result of new legislation or the development of common law or equity).

    	 

     

    

 

		2.3	The Employee hereby warrants that:

		2.3.1	He is not aware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to a claim against the Company,
LTL or any Group Company or its or their officers or employees other than those set out in clause 2.1; and

		2.3.2	He has not and will not commence any legal or arbitration proceedings of any nature against the
Company, LTL or any Group Company in any jurisdiction arising out of or in connection with his employment with the Company or LTL,
its termination or otherwise save for the purposes of enforcing the terms of the First Settlement Agreement or this Agreement.

		2.4	It is expressly agreed that, except as expressly provided for in, referred to in, or excluded from
this Agreement and the First Settlement Agreement the Company, LTL and any Group Company shall have no further obligation to the
Employee and the Employee shall have no further entitlement under his contract of employment.

		3.	Continuing obligations

		3.1	For the avoidance of doubt, the Employee confirms that clauses 11 and 12 of the First Settlement
Agreement remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the execution of this Agreement.

		4.	Warranties

		4.1	The Employee hereby warrants that he:

		4.1.1	Has not at any time committed a repudiatory breach of his contract of employment which would entitle
LTL to terminate his employment without notice;

		4.1.2	Is not entering into this Agreement in reliance on any undertaking, representation, warranty or
arrangement of any nature not expressly set out in this agreement; and

		4.1.3	Has not disclosed or communicated to any person the circumstances surrounding the termination of
his employment with the Company or LTL and the facts or terms of this Agreement or the First Settlement Agreement, except to his
legal and professional advisers.

		5.	Legal advice

		5.1	The Employee has received advice from Hannah Wright of Bates Wells Braithwaite, 10 Queen Street Place,
London EC4R 1BE, a relevant independent adviser for the purposes of section 203 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, as to the terms
and effect of this Agreement and, in particular, its effect on his ability to pursue any complaint before an employment tribunal
or other court.

    	 

     

    

 

		5.2	The Employee acknowledges that the conditions relating to settlement agreements under section 147(3)
of the Equality Act 2010, section 77(4A) of the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 (in relation to claims under that Act and the Equal
Pay Act 1970), section 72(4A) of the Race Relations Act 1976, paragraph 2 of Schedule 3A to the Disability Discrimination Act 1995,
paragraph 2(2) of Schedule 4 to the Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2003, paragraph 2(2) of Schedule 4 to
the Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2003, paragraph 2(2) of Schedule 5 to the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations
2006, section 288(2B) of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992, section 203(3) of the Employment Rights
Act 1996, regulation 35(3) of the Working Time Regulations 1998, section 49(4) of the National Minimum Wage Act 1998, regulation
41(4) of the Transnational Information and Consultation etc. Regulations 1999, regulation 9 of the Part-Time Workers (Prevention
of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2000, regulation 10 of the Fixed-Term Employees (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment)
Regulations 2002, regulation 40(4) of the Information and Consultation of Employees Regulations 2004, paragraph 13 of the Schedule
to the Occupational and Personal Pension Schemes (Consultation by Employers and Miscellaneous Amendment) Regulations 2006, regulation
62 of the Companies (Cross Border Mergers) Regulations 2007 and section 58 of the Pensions Act 2008 have been satisfied.

		5.3	Hannah Wright’s signature at the end of this Agreement confirms to the Company and LTL that,
to the best of his knowledge and belief, the statements set out in clauses 5.2 and 5.3 of this Agreement are correct.

		6.	Legal Fees

		6.1	The Company agrees to pay reasonable legal fees incurred by the Employee in connection with taking
advice on the termination of his employment and the terms of this Agreement up to a maximum of £XXXXXXX
plus VAT to be paid direct to the Employee’s solicitor 28 days after the receipt from the Employee’s solicitor of an
invoice addressed to the Employee and marked payable by LTL.

		7.	Third parties

		7.1	Any third party shall be entitled to enforce the benefits conferred on it by clauses 2 and 3 of
this Agreement.

		7.2	Except as expressly provided in clause 6.1, no person other than the Employee and the Company,
LTL or any Group Company shall have any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this
Agreement. This does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists, or is available, apart from that Act.

		8.	Governing law

		8.1	This agreement and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject
matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law
of England and Wales.

		9.	Jurisdiction

		9.1	Each party irrevocably agrees that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction
to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or its subject matter or formation (including
non-contractual disputes or claims).

    	 

     

    

 

		10.	Counterparts

		10.1	This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when executed, shall
constitute a duplicate and be an original, but all the counterparts shall together constitutes the one agreement.

This
Agreement, although marked “without prejudice” and “subject to contract”, will upon signature by the parties
and the adviser, be treated as an open document evidencing an agreement binding on the parties.

(a)                                 The Parent Borrower may from time to time request that Eurocurrency Loans be made, or Financial Letters of Credit be issued, in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency”; provided that (x) such requested currency is a lawful currency (other than Dollars) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars, (y) any such request shall be subject to the approval of (i) subject to Section 2.21(b), each Lender with a Commitment under the Facility in which such currency is requested to be made available and (ii) the Administrative Agent and, if different, the Agent with respect to such Facility and (z) in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Financial Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the approval of each applicable Issuing Lender and the Agent with respect to the applicable Facility.

 

(b)                                 Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the desired credit extensions (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Financial Letters of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender(s) in its or their sole discretion.  In the case of any such request pertaining to Eurocurrency Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender that has a Commitment with respect to the applicable Facility; and in the case of any such request pertaining to Financial Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Lender(s) thereof.  Each Lender that has a Commitment with respect to such Facility (in the case of any such request pertaining to Eurocurrency Loans), the applicable Issuing Lender(s) (in the case of a request pertaining to Financial Letters of Credit) shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., five (5) Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Eurocurrency Loans or the issuance of Financial Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency.

If the Administrative Agent and all the Lenders that have a Commitment with respect to the applicable Facility and, if applicable, the impacted Issuing Lender(s) each consent to making Eurocurrency Loans and/or the issuance of Financial Letters of Credit, as applicable, in such requested currency and the Administrative Agent, such Lenders and such Issuing Lender(s), as appropriate, reasonably determine that an appropriate interest rate is available to be used for such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Parent Borrower and (i) the Administrative Agent, such Lenders and/or such Issuing Lenders, as applicable, may amend the definition of Eurocurrency Rate for any Non-LIBOR Quoted Currency to the extent necessary to add the applicable Eurocurrency Rate for such currency and (ii) to the extent the definition of Eurocurrency Rate reflects the appropriate interest rate for such currency or has been amended to reflect the appropriate rate for such currency, such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency for purposes of any Borrowings of Eurocurrency Loans or the issuance of Financial Letters of Credit, as applicable.  If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.9, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Parent Borrower.

ARTICLE II

 

THE CREDITS

 

Section 2.1                                   Commitments; Incremental Facilities.

 

(a)                                 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each relevant Lender agrees (i) to severally make Domestic Revolving Loans in Dollars to the Parent Borrower from time to time during the Domestic Revolving Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in such Lender’s Domestic Revolving Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Domestic Revolving Commitment and (ii) to severally make Global Revolving Loans in Dollars or Alternative Currencies (as specified in the Borrowing Requests with respect thereto) to any Borrower from time to time during the Global Revolving Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in such Lender’s Global Revolving Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Global Revolving Commitment.  Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Parent Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Domestic Revolving Loans, and any Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Global Revolving Loans.

 

(b)                                 So long as no Default or Event of Default (including, on a pro forma basis, pursuant to Section 6.1) shall be in existence or would be caused thereby, the Parent Borrower and any one or more Lenders may from time to time agree that such Lenders (or any other additional bank, financial institution or other entity which becomes a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.1(b)) shall add one or more term loan facilities (the loans thereunder, the “Incremental Term Loans”) and/or increase the Commitments in respect of any of the Facilities by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any increase in the Participation FCI Commitments, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, an Incremental Facility Activation Notice specifying (i) the amount of such Incremental Term Loans and/or Commitment increase, and (ii) in the case of any Incremental Term Loans, (A) the applicable Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date, (B) the amortization schedule for such Incremental Term Loans, which shall comply with Section 2.11(a), (C) the Applicable Rate (and/or other pricing terms) for such Incremental Term Loans and (D) the requested currency (which may be in Dollars or any Alternative Currency); provided that the aggregate principal amount of borrowings of Incremental Term Loans outstanding at any time and Commitment increases pursuant to this subsection (b) in effect at any time shall not exceed (x) $300,000,000, plus (y) an unlimited amount, provided, that, with respect to this clause (y), immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loans or establishment of any increase in the Commitments (tested solely on the date of funding of any Incremental Term Loan or establishment of any increase in the Commitments as set forth in the Incremental Facility Activation Notice and not any time thereafter) the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (or, following the Release Date, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio) as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Parent Borrower most recently ended for which the Parent Borrower has delivered financial statements pursuant to Section 5.1(a) or (b) shall not be greater than 2.75:1.00 after giving effect to such Commitment increase (assuming the Revolving Commitments are fully drawn) and/or such Incremental Term Loan (assuming such Incremental Term Loan is fully drawn, even if some portion of such Incremental Term Loan will be available on a delayed draw basis) on a pro forma basis, plus (z) an amount equal to all voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.12(a), all voluntary prepayments of the Domestic Revolving Loans or the Global Revolving Loans made pursuant to Section 2.12(a) (so long as such voluntary prepayment is accompanied by a permanent reduction in the aggregate Domestic Revolving Commitments or the aggregate Global Revolving Commitments, as applicable), and all voluntary prepayments of, or Cash Cover for, Bilateral FCIs and/or the Participation FCIs, in each case other than to the extent funded with the proceeds of incurrences of long-term Indebtedness (so long as such voluntary prepayment is accompanied by a permanent reduction in the aggregate Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment or the aggregate Participation FCI Commitment, as applicable) (it being understood and agreed that (i) if the Parent Borrower has 

 

47

 

previously reduced or concurrently reduces the Participation FCI Commitment pursuant to Section 2.9 at such time as it increases the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment pursuant to this subsection (b), such increase of the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment shall be included in the calculation of the amount in this subsection (b) only to the extent that such increase in the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment exceeds the reduction in the Participation FCI Commitment and (ii) if any Borrower repays any Incremental Term Loans and/or permanently terminates any Commitments provided pursuant to this subsection (b) the Parent Borrower shall have new availability under this subsection (b) for additional Incremental Term Loans and Commitment increases pursuant to this subsection (b) in the amount of such prepayment and/or termination up to the aggregate amount permitted above).  If the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment is increased, subject to Section 2.6(u), the Parent Borrower shall have the option of transferring existing FCIs from the Participation FCI Issuing Commitment to the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment.  In the case of any increase in the Commitments under any Facility (other than any Incremental Term Loan Facility), the terms applicable to such increased Commitments and the Loans thereunder shall be the same as the terms applicable to the Facility being so increased.  In the case of any increase of the Domestic Revolving Facility or the Global Revolving Facility, any new Lender added in connection with such increase must be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lenders (but not the Domestic Revolving Lenders or Global Revolving Lenders, as applicable).  In the case of any increase of the Foreign Trade Facility, any new Lender added in connection with such increase must be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and the applicable FCI Issuing Lenders (but not the Lenders with Participation FCI Commitments).  No Lender shall have any obligation to participate in any Incremental Term Loan or other increase described in this paragraph unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion.  Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity which, with the consent of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, if applicable, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), elects to become a “Lender” under this Agreement in connection with the making of any Incremental Term Loan or the making of any additional Commitment shall execute a New Lender Supplement, whereupon such bank, financial institution or other entity shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the proceeds of any Incremental Term Loan are being used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, and the Parent Borrower has obtained binding commitments of Incremental Term Lenders to fund such Incremental Term Loan (“Acquisition Financing Commitments”), then the conditions to the funding and incurrence of such Incremental Term Loan shall be limited as follows, if and to the extent such Incremental Term Lenders so agree with respect to their Acquisition Financing Commitments: (A) the condition set forth in Section 4.3(a) shall apply only with respect to customary “specified representations” approved by the Incremental Term Lenders providing the Acquisition Financing Commitments or if the circumstances giving rise to the failure of such conditions also entitle the Parent Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiaries to terminate its or their obligations under the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition (each, an “Acquisition Agreement”), and (B) the reference in Section 4.3(b) to no Default or Event of Default (and the condition above that no Default or Event of Default exist under Section 6.1 after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loan on a pro forma basis pursuant to Section 6.1) shall mean the absence of a Default or Event of Default at the date such Acquisition Agreement is executed and delivered and the absence of an Event of Default under paragraphs (a), (b), (h), (i) or (j) of Article VII at the date the applicable Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated (it being understood that this sentence shall not limit the conditions set forth in Section 4.3 with respect to any proposed Borrowing or the issuance of any Letter of Credit or FCI in connection with such Permitted Acquisition or otherwise).  Nothing in the foregoing constitutes a waiver of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or of any rights or remedies of Lenders and the Administrative Agent under any provision of the Loan Documents.

 

48

 

(c)                                  Extension Option for Domestic Revolving Commitments.

 

(i)                                     The Parent Borrower may from time to time during the term of this Agreement, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (such notice being a “Domestic Revolving Extension Notice”) delivered no later than 60 days prior to the Domestic Maturity Date (the date of such notice, the “Domestic Revolving Notice Date”), request the Domestic Revolving Lenders to extend the then applicable Domestic Revolving Maturity Date for an additional year (the “Extended Domestic Revolving Maturity Date”).  The Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit any Domestic Revolving Extension Notice to each Domestic Revolving Lender.  Each Domestic Revolving Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent whether it wishes to extend the then applicable Domestic Revolving Maturity Date at least 30 days (or such earlier date as directed by the Parent Borrower) prior to the then applicable Domestic Revolving Maturity Date, and any such notice given by a Domestic Revolving Lender to the Administrative Agent, once given, shall be irrevocable as to such Domestic Revolving Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower of the notice of each Domestic Revolving Lender that it wishes to extend (each, a “Domestic Revolving Extension Acceptance Notice”).  Any Domestic Revolving Lender which does not expressly notify the Administrative Agent on or before the date that is 30 days (or such earlier date as directed by the Parent Borrower) prior to the then applicable Domestic Revolving Maturity Date that it wishes to so extend the then applicable Domestic Revolving Maturity Date shall be deemed to have rejected the Parent Borrower’s request for extension of such Domestic Revolving Maturity Date.  If all the Domestic Revolving Lenders have elected (in their sole and absolute discretion) to so extend the then applicable Domestic Revolving Maturity Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower of such election by the Domestic Revolving Lenders no later than five Business Days after the date when Domestic Revolving Extension Acceptance Notices are due, and effective on the date of such notice by the Administrative Agent to the Parent Borrower (the “Domestic Revolving Extension Date”), the Domestic Revolving Maturity Date shall be automatically and immediately so extended to the Extended Domestic Revolving Maturity Date.  No extension of the Domestic Revolving Maturity Date will be permitted hereunder without the consent of all the Domestic Revolving Lenders (after giving effect to the replacement of any non-extending Domestic Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (iii) below, as applicable) unless, at the election of the Parent Borrower, in writing to the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower removes from the Domestic Revolving Facility each Domestic Revolving Lender that has not so consented to the Extended Domestic Revolving Maturity Date, in which case the Domestic Revolving Commitments of each such removed Domestic Revolving Lender will be automatically terminated as of the then applicable Domestic Revolving Maturity Date (not giving effect to the proposed extension), and the aggregate Domestic Revolving Commitments shall be reduced by the amounts of the Domestic Revolving Commitments of such removed Domestic Revolving Lenders; provided, that, (x) after giving effect to any such removal by the Parent Borrower and resulting termination of the Domestic Revolving Commitment any such removed Domestic Revolving Lender, (A) the total Domestic Revolving Exposure of the Domestic Revolving Lenders does not exceed the total Domestic Revolving Commitments of all the extending Domestic Revolving Lenders, and (B) the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall have entered into such agreements, if any, as any of them shall have reasonably requested to reflect such extension of the Domestic Revolving Facility with reduced Domestic Revolving Commitments reflecting the removal of such Domestic Revolving Lenders (and any participations purchased under this Agreement shall be automatically appropriately adjusted in amount to reflect such changed Commitments) and (y) any such removed Domestic Revolving Lender shall have received payment of all amounts owing to such removed Domestic Revolving Lender with respect to its Domestic Revolving Commitment, including the repayment of an amount equal to the outstanding funded participations of all Financial LC Disbursements made by 

 

49

 

such removed Domestic Revolving Lender, any accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in connection with such Commitment.  Upon the delivery of a Domestic Revolving Extension Notice and upon the extension of the Domestic Revolving Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 2.1(c)(i), the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted on and as of the Domestic Revolving Notice Date and the Domestic Revolving Extension Date, as the case may be, that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to issue Letters of Credit beyond the Domestic Revolving Maturity Date unless such Issuing Lender agrees in writing to issue Letters of Credit until the Extended Domestic Revolving Maturity Date.

 

(ii)                                  If the Domestic Revolving Maturity Date shall have been extended in accordance with Section 2.1(c)(i), all references herein to the “Domestic Revolving Maturity Date” shall refer to the Extended Domestic Revolving Maturity Date.

 

(iii)                               The Parent Borrower shall have the right on or before the applicable Domestic Revolving Maturity Date to replace each non-extending Domestic Revolving Lender with one or more Persons (A) reasonably satisfactory to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (B) satisfactory to the Issuing Lenders in their sole discretion (the “Additional Domestic Revolving Commitment Lender”), as provided in Section 2.21(b), each of which such Additional Domestic Revolving Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Additional Domestic Revolving Commitment Lender shall, effective as of the applicable Domestic Revolving Maturity Date, undertake a Domestic Revolving Commitment (and if any such Additional Domestic Revolving Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its new Domestic Revolving Commitment shall be in addition to any other Commitment of such Lender on such date).

 

(d)                                 Extension Option for Global Revolving Commitments.

 

(i)                                     The Parent Borrower may from time to time during the term of this Agreement, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (such notice being a “Global Revolving Extension Notice”) delivered no later than 60 days prior to the Global Maturity Date (the date of such notice, the “Global Revolving Notice Date”), request the Global Revolving Lenders to extend the then applicable Global Revolving Maturity Date for an additional year (the “Extended Global Revolving Maturity Date”).  The Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit any Global Revolving Extension Notice to each Global Revolving Lender.  Each Global Revolving Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent whether it wishes to extend the then applicable Global Revolving Maturity Date at least 30 days (or such earlier date as directed by the Parent Borrower) prior to the then applicable Global Revolving Maturity Date, and any such notice given by a Global Revolving Lender to the Administrative Agent, once given, shall be irrevocable as to such Global Revolving Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower of the notice of each Global Revolving Lender that it wishes to extend (each, an “Global Revolving Extension Acceptance Notice”).  Any Global Revolving Lender which does not expressly notify the Administrative Agent on or before the date that is 30 days (or such earlier date as directed by the Parent Borrower) prior to the then applicable Global Revolving Maturity Date that it wishes to so extend the then applicable Global Revolving Maturity Date shall be deemed to have rejected the Parent Borrower’s request for extension of such Global Revolving Maturity Date.  If all the Global Revolving Lenders have elected (in their sole and absolute discretion) to so extend the then applicable Global Revolving Maturity Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower of such election by the Global Revolving Lenders no later than five Business Days after the date when Global Revolving Extension Acceptance Notices are

due, and effective on the date of such notice by the Administrative Agent to the Parent Borrower (the “Global Revolving Extension Date”), the Global Revolving Maturity Date shall be automatically and immediately so extended to the Extended Global Revolving Maturity Date.  No extension of the Global Revolving Maturity Date will be permitted hereunder without the consent of all the Global Revolving Lenders (after giving effect to the replacement of any non-extending Global Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (iii) below, as applicable) unless, at the election of the Parent Borrower, in writing to the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower removes from the Global Revolving Facility each Global Revolving Lender that has not so consented to the Extended Global Revolving Maturity Date, in which case the Global Revolving Commitments of each such removed Global Revolving Lender will be automatically terminated as of the then applicable Global Revolving Maturity Date (not giving effect to the proposed extension), and the aggregate Global Revolving Commitments shall be reduced by the amounts of the Global Revolving Commitments of such removed Global Revolving Lenders; provided, that, (x) after giving effect to any such removal by the Parent Borrower and resulting termination of the Global Revolving Commitment any such removed Global Revolving Lender, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall have entered into such agreements, if any, as any of them shall have reasonably requested to reflect such extension of the Global Revolving Facility with reduced Global Revolving Commitments reflecting the removal of such Global Revolving Lenders (and any participations purchased under this Agreement shall be automatically appropriately adjusted in amount to reflect such changed Commitments) and (y) any such removed Global Revolving Lender shall have received payment of all amounts owing to such removed Global Revolving Lender with respect to its Global Revolving Commitment, including the repayment of an amount equal to the outstanding funded participations of all Non-Financial LC Disbursements made by such removed Global Revolving Lender, any accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in connection with such Commitment.  Upon the delivery of a Global Revolving Extension Notice and upon the extension of the Global Revolving Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 2(c)(i), the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted on and as of the Global Revolving Notice Date and the Global Revolving Extension Date, as the case may be, that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

(ii)                                  If the Global Revolving Maturity Date shall have been extended in accordance with Section 2.1(d)(i), all references herein to the “Global Revolving Maturity Date” shall refer to the Extended Global Revolving Maturity Date.

 

(iii)                               The Parent Borrower shall have the right on or before the applicable Global Revolving Maturity Date to replace each non-extending Global Revolving Lender with one or more Persons reasonably satisfactory to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (the “Additional Global Revolving Commitment Lender”), as provided in Section 2.21(b), each of which such Additional Global Revolving Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Additional Global Revolving Commitment Lender shall, effective as of the applicable Global Revolving Maturity Date, undertake a Global Revolving Commitment (and if any such Additional Global Revolving Commitment Lender is already a Global Revolving Lender, its new Global Revolving Commitment shall be in addition to any other Commitment of such Lender on such date).

 

(e)                                  Term Loan A.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally has made its portion of a term loan (the “Term Loan A”) to the Parent Borrower in Dollars in an amount equal to such Lender’s Term Loan A Commitment.  Amounts repaid on the Term Loan A may not be reborrowed.  The Term Loan A may consist of ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans or a combination thereof, as further provided herein, provided, however, all Borrowings made on the Funding Date shall be 

 

51

 

made as ABR Loans unless the Parent Borrower shall have delivered a funding indemnity letter in effect on the Funding Date to the Administrative Agent in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

Section 2.2                                   Loans and Borrowings.

 

(a)                                 Each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder.

 

(b)                                 Subject to Section 2.16, (i) each Borrowing of Domestic Revolving Loans, the Term Loan A and each Incremental Term Loan denominated in Dollars shall consist entirely of ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans as the relevant Borrower may request in accordance herewith, (ii) each Borrowing of Global Revolving Loans shall consist entirely of Eurocurrency Loans and (iii) each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan.  Each Lender at its option may make any Loan to any Borrower by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the relevant Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(c)                                  At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000.  At the time that each ABR Revolving Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000; provided that (i) a Borrowing of ABR Domestic Revolving Loans may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Domestic Revolving Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of a Financial LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.5(e)(i) and (ii) a Borrowing of ABR Global Revolving Loans may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Global Revolving Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of a Non-Financial LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.5(e)(ii).  Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $500,000.  No more than 10 Eurocurrency Borrowings may be outstanding at any one time under each Facility.

 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Domestic Revolving Maturity Date, Global Revolving Maturity Date the Term Loan A Maturity Date or Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable.

 

Section 2.3                                   Requests for Borrowings.

 

To request a Borrowing (other than a continuation or conversion, which is governed by Section 2.8) of Domestic Revolving Loans, Global Revolving Loans or an Incremental Term Loan Borrowing, the relevant Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, (b) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time four Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (c) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day of the proposed Borrowing; provided that (i) any such notice of a Borrowing of ABR Domestic Revolving Loans to finance the reimbursement of a Financial LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.5(e)(i) may be given not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing, and (ii) any such notice of a Borrowing of 

 

52

 

ABR Global Revolving Loans to finance the reimbursement of a Non-Financial LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.5(e)(ii) may be given not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing.  Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and (x) signed by the Parent Borrower or (y) in the case of Borrowings by a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, signed by the Parent Borrower or such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as specified by the Parent Borrower by prior written notice to the Administrative Agent.  Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.2:  (i) the applicable Borrower requesting such Borrowing (and be signed on behalf of such Borrower); (ii) the Class and Type of the requested Borrowing; (iii) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing; (iv) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; (v) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto; (vi) the location and number of the relevant Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.7; and (vii) the currency of such Borrowing (which shall be in Dollars in the case of any Incremental Term Loans, Domestic Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, and otherwise shall be in Dollars or an Alternative Currency).  If no election as to the currency of a Borrowing of Global Revolving Loans is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be denominated in Dollars.  If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing if denominated in Dollars or a Eurocurrency Borrowing if denominated in an Alternative Currency.  If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the relevant Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.  Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each relevant Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

 

Section 2.4                                   Swingline Loans.

 

(a)                                 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Parent Borrower from time to time during the Domestic Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $40,000,000 or (ii) the sum of the total Domestic Revolving Exposures exceeding the total Domestic Revolving Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan.  Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Parent Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

 

(b)                                 To request a Swingline Loan, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parent Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed in writing in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower), not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan.  The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Parent Borrower.  The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Parent Borrower by wiring the amount to the account designated by the Parent Borrower in the request for such Swingline Loan (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of a Financial LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.5(e)(i), by remittance to the applicable Issuing Lender) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

 

53

 

(c)                                  The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any Business Day require the Domestic Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding.  Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Domestic Revolving Lenders will participate.  Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Domestic Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loans.  Each Domestic Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loans.  Each Domestic Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.  Each Domestic Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.7 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.7 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Domestic Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Domestic Revolving Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender.  Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Parent Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Parent Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Domestic Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear.  The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Parent Borrower of its obligation to repay such Swingline Loan.

 

Section 2.5                                   Letters of Credit.

 

(a)                                 General.

 

(i)                                     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Parent Borrower may request the issuance of Financial Letters of Credit for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender, at any time and from time to time during the Domestic Revolving Availability Period.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the account party for each Financial Letter of Credit shall be the Parent Borrower or the relevant Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary or Joint Venture, as specified by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender in consultation with the Parent Borrower.  In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Parent Borrower to, or entered into by the Parent Borrower with, the applicable Issuing Lender relating to any Financial Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.  As specified on Schedule 1.1E, certain Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be “Financial Letters of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Parent Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender hereunder for any drawings under such Financial Letters of Credit.  Furthermore, if (v) any letter of credit has been previously issued by an Issuing Lender, (w) the reimbursement obligations of the account party (the “Original Financial Letter of Credit Account Party”) relating to such letter of credit have been or are assumed in writing by the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary 

 

54

 

(such assuming Person, the “Financial Letter of Credit Assuming Person”) pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition or other transaction permitted under the Credit Agreement, (x) there is sufficient availability hereunder for the inclusion of such letter of credit as a Financial Letter or Credit hereunder, (y) such letter of credit satisfies all of the requirements of a Financial Letter of Credit hereunder, and (z) the conditions of Sections 4.3(a) and 4.3(b) are satisfied, then upon the written request (which written request shall include a statement that the foregoing requirements (v) through (z), inclusive, have been satisfied) of the Parent Borrower to such Issuing Lender (consented to in writing by such Issuing Lender) and the submission by the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent of a copy of such request bearing such consent, such letter of credit shall be (from the date of such consent of such Issuing Lender) deemed a Financial Letter of Credit for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and considered issued hereunder pursuant to the terms hereof (the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents shall govern and prevail in the case of any conflict with the provisions of the agreement(s) pursuant to which such letter of credit had been issued (such agreement(s), the “Original Financial Letter of Credit Agreements”), and such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have released the Original Financial Letter of Credit Account Party and the Financial Letter of Credit Assuming Person from the Original Financial Letter of Credit Agreements to the extent of such conflict).  Notwithstanding that any such assumed letter of credit is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Restricted Subsidiary or Joint Venture, the Parent Borrower agrees that it shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender hereunder for any and all drawings under such letter of credit.

 

(ii)                                  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, any Borrower may request the issuance of Non-Financial Letters of Credit for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender, at any time and from time to time during the Global Revolving Availability Period; provided, that, the outstanding amount of all obligations under Non-Financial Letters of Credit shall not exceed $100,000,000.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the account party for each Non-Financial Letter of Credit shall be the Parent Borrower or the relevant Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary or Joint Venture, as specified by the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender in consultation with the Parent Borrower.  In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by a Borrower to, or entered into by a Borrower with, the applicable Issuing Lender relating to any Non-Financial Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.  As specified on Schedule 1.1E, certain Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be “Non-Financial Letters of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Parent Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender hereunder for any drawings under such Non-Financial Letters of Credit.  Furthermore, if (v) any letter of credit has been previously issued by an Issuing Lender, (w) the reimbursement obligations of the account party (the “Original Non-Financial Letter of Credit Account Party”) relating to such letter of credit have been or are assumed in writing by the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (such assuming Person, the “Non-Financial Letter of Credit Assuming Person”) pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition or other transaction permitted under the Credit Agreement, (x) there is sufficient availability hereunder for the inclusion of such letter of credit as a Non-Financial Letter or Credit hereunder, (y) such letter of credit satisfies all of the requirements of a Non-Financial Letter of Credit hereunder, and (z) the conditions of Sections 4.3(a) and 4.3(b) are satisfied, then upon the written request (which written request shall include a statement that the foregoing requirements (v) through (z), inclusive, have been satisfied) of the Parent Borrower to such Issuing Lender (consented to in writing by such Issuing Lender) and the submission by the Parent Borrower to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent of a copy of such request bearing such consent, such letter of 

 

55

 

credit shall be (from the date of such consent of such Issuing Lender) deemed a Non-Financial Letter of Credit for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and considered issued hereunder pursuant to the terms hereof (the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents shall govern and prevail in the case of any conflict with the provisions of the agreement(s) pursuant to which such letter of credit had been issued (such agreement(s), the “Original Non-Financial Letter of Credit Agreements”), and such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have released the Original Non-Financial Letter of Credit Account Party and the Non-Financial Letter of Credit Assuming Person from the Original Non-Financial Letter of Credit Agreements to the extent of such conflict).  Notwithstanding that any such assumed letter of credit is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Restricted Subsidiary or Joint Venture, the Parent Borrower agrees that it shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender hereunder for any and all drawings under such letter of credit.

 

(b)                                 Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions.

 

(i)                                     To request the issuance of a Financial Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Financial Letter of Credit), the Parent Borrower shall deliver to the applicable Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Financial Letter of Credit, or identifying the Financial Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Financial Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Financial Letter of Credit, the currency in which such Financial Letter of Credit is to be denominated (which shall be Dollars or, subject to Section 2.22, an Alternative Currency), the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Financial Letter of Credit.  If requested by the applicable Issuing Lender, the Parent Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Lender’s standard form in connection with any request for a Financial Letter of Credit.  Following receipt of such notice and prior to the issuance of the requested Financial Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall calculate the Dollar Equivalent of such Financial Letter of Credit and shall notify the Parent Borrower and the applicable Issuing Lender of the amount of the Total Domestic Exposure after giving effect to (i) the issuance of such Financial Letter of Credit, (ii) the issuance or expiration of any other Financial Letter of Credit that is to be issued or will expire prior to the requested date of issuance of such Financial Letter of Credit and (iii) the borrowing or repayment of any Domestic Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans that (based upon notices delivered to the Administrative Agent by the Parent Borrower) are to be borrowed or repaid prior to the requested date of issuance of such Financial Letter of Credit.  A Financial Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Financial Letter of Credit the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (A) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Domestic Revolving Loans plus the amount of all Financial LC Exposure shall not exceed $200,000,000 and (B) the Total Domestic Exposure shall not exceed the total Domestic Revolving Commitments.  No Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Financial Letter of Credit if any Domestic Revolving Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of cash collateral or other credit support to the Administrative Agent, satisfactory to such Issuing Lender (in its reasonable discretion) with the Parent Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.24(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Financial Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Financial Letter of Credit and all other Financial LC 

 

56

 

Exposure as to which such Issuing Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

 

If the Parent Borrower so requests, the applicable Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Financial Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the applicable Issuing Lender to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve (12) month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve (12) month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Issuing Lender, the Parent Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the applicable Issuing Lender for any such extension.  Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Domestic Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Issuing Lender to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the date that is five Business Days prior to the Domestic Revolving Maturity Date; provided, however, that the applicable Issuing Lender shall not permit any such extension if (A) the applicable Issuing Lender has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof, or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Lenders holding a majority of the Domestic Revolving Loans have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Domestic Revolving Lender or the Parent Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.3 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the applicable Issuing Lender not to permit such extension.

 

(ii)                                  Any request for the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Non-Financial Letter of Credit and the processing of Utilization Requests with respect thereto and the expiration, cancellation, reduction or reversal thereof shall be subject to the same terms, conditions and provisions of Section 2.6, including as to the use of Permitted Currencies rather than Alternative Currencies, except instead of relating to the processing of Utilization Requests or the issuance, amendment, renewal, extension, expiration, cancellation, reduction or reversal of a Participation FCI, they shall relate to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Non-Financial Letter of Credit, and the terms, conditions and provisions of Section 2.6 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the request for the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Non-Financial Letter of Credit and the processing of Utilization Requests with respect thereto and the expiration, cancellation, reduction or reversal thereof; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the applicable Issuing Lender shall have discretion whether or not to require that any Non-Financial Letter of Credit comply with the Mandatory Requirements or the Dispensable Requirements.

 

(c)                                  Expiration Date.

 

(i)                                     Each Financial Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Financial Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Domestic Revolving Maturity Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, as specified on Schedule 1.1E, certain Long Term Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be “Financial Letters of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Parent Borrower agrees that on the earlier of the 

 

57

 

Domestic Revolving Maturity Date or other termination of this Agreement the Parent Borrower shall either (A) cause each such Long Term Letter of Credit that is deemed to be a Financial Letter of Credit to be surrendered for cancellation to the Parent Borrower, (B) provide Letter of Credit Cash Cover (as defined below) or (C) provide a back to back letter of credit on reasonably acceptable terms and conditions from a financial institution approved by the applicable Issuing Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s existing banking practice consistently applied) or other credit support reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to at least 103% of the Face Amount of each such Long Term Letter of Credit that is deemed to be a Financial Letter of Credit.  Upon notice to the Administrative Agent of the termination, reduction or expiration (without any pending drawing) of any such Long Term Letter of Credit that is deemed to be a Financial Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall release the whole or relevant part of the Letter of Credit Cash Cover (or other relevant credit support) within three Business Days of the relevant date of termination, reduction or expiration, and the Administrative Agent shall use the Letter of Credit Cash Cover (or other relevant credit support) to promptly reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender honoring any Long Term Letter of Credit that is deemed to be a Financial Letter of Credit.  If the Parent Borrower is obliged to provide for Letter of Credit Cash Cover pursuant to the preceding provisions, the Parent Borrower shall pay the relevant amount for which it shall provide Letter of Credit Cash Cover in Dollars to an account of the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Parent Borrower, to be maintained for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Lender (such deposited amount, the “Letter of Credit Cash Cover”).  Such account shall be an interest bearing account (subject to the preceding provisions with the amount of interest to be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with its standard business practice) in the name of the Parent Borrower and such account shall be pledged to the Administrative Agent on the basis of a pledge agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower.  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that the obligation of the Domestic Revolving Lenders hereunder to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for any unreimbursed Financial LC Disbursements with respect to any Long Term Letter of Credit that is deemed to be a Financial Letter of Credit shall terminate on the Domestic Revolving Maturity Date with respect to any drawings occurring after that date.

 

(ii)                                  Each Non-Financial Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the date that is five Business Days prior to the Global Revolving Maturity Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, as specified on Schedule 1.1E, certain Long Term Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be “Non-Financial Letters of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Parent Borrower agrees that on the earlier of the Global Revolving Maturity Date or other termination of this Agreement the Parent Borrower shall either (A) cause each such Long Term Letter of Credit that is deemed to be a Non-Financial Letter of Credit to be surrendered for cancellation to the Parent Borrower, (B) provide Letter of Credit Cash Cover or (C) provide a back to back letter of credit on reasonably acceptable terms and conditions from a financial institution approved by the applicable Issuing Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s existing banking practice consistently applied) or other credit support reasonably satisfactory to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent in an amount equal to at least 103% of the Face Amount of each such Long Term Letter of Credit that is deemed to be a Non-Financial Letter of Credit.  Upon notice to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent of the termination, reduction or expiration (without any pending drawing) of any such Long Term Letter of Credit that is deemed to be a Non-Financial Letter of Credit, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall release the whole or relevant part of the Letter of Credit Cash Cover (or other relevant credit support) within three Business Days of the relevant date of termination, reduction or expiration, and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall use the Letter of Credit Cash Cover (or other relevant credit support) to promptly 

 

58

 

reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender honoring any Long Term Letter of Credit that is deemed to be a Non-Financial Letter of Credit.  If the Parent Borrower is obliged to provide for Letter of Credit Cash Cover pursuant to the preceding provisions, the Parent Borrower shall pay the relevant amount for which it shall provide Letter of Credit Cash Cover in Dollars to an account of the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and in the name of the Parent Borrower, to be maintained for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Lender.  Such account shall be an interest bearing account (subject to the preceding provisions with the amount of interest to be determined by the Foreign Trade Facility Agent in accordance with its standard business practice) in the name of the Parent Borrower and such account shall be pledged to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent on the basis of a pledge agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and the Parent Borrower.  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that the obligation of the Global Revolving Lenders hereunder to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for any unreimbursed Non-Financial LC Disbursements with respect to any Long Term Letter of Credit that is deemed to be a Non-Financial Letter of Credit shall terminate on the Global Revolving Maturity Date with respect to any drawings occurring after that date.

 

(d)                                 Participations.

 

(i)                                     By the issuance of a Financial Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Financial Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Lender or the Lenders, the applicable Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have granted, automatically, to each Domestic Revolving Lender, and each Domestic Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, automatically, from such Issuing Lender, a participation in such Financial Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Financial Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Domestic Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the account of such Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of (i) each Financial LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Lender in Dollars and (ii) the Dollar Equivalent, using the Exchange Rates on the date such payment is required, of each Financial LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Lender in an Alternative Currency and, in each case, not reimbursed by the the Parent Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e)(i) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Parent Borrower for any reason (or, if such reimbursement payment was refunded in an Alternative Currency, the Dollar Equivalent thereof using the Exchange Rates on the date of such refund).  Each Domestic Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Financial Letters of Credit are absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Financial Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Domestic Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

 

(ii)                                  By the issuance of a Non-Financial Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Non-Financial Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Lender or the Lenders, the applicable Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have granted, automatically, to each Global Revolving Lender, and each Global Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, automatically, from such Issuing Lender, a participation in such Non-Financial Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Non-Financial Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Global Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent in Dollars, for 

 

59

 

the account of such Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of (i) each Non-Financial LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Lender in Dollars and (ii) the Dollar Equivalent, using the Exchange Rates on the date such payment is required, of each Non-Financial LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Lender in an Alternative Currency and, in each case, not reimbursed by the relevant Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e)(ii) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to such Borrower for any reason (or, if such reimbursement payment was refunded in an Alternative Currency, the Dollar Equivalent thereof using the Exchange Rates on the date of such refund).  Each Global Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Non-Financial Letters of Credit are absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Non-Financial Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Global Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

 

(e)                                  Reimbursement.

 

(i)                                     If the applicable Issuing Lender shall make any Financial LC Disbursement in respect of a Financial Letter of Credit, the Parent Borrower shall reimburse such Financial LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such Financial LC Disbursement plus any interim interest incurred pursuant to paragraph (h)(i) of this Section for (x) Financial LC Disbursements made in Dollars, in Dollars, or (y) Financial LC Disbursements made in an Alternative Currency, in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the applicable Exchange Rate on the date such Financial LC Disbursement is made, of such Financial LC Disbursement, in each case, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time or the Applicable Time, as applicable, on the date that such Financial LC Disbursement is made, if the Parent Borrower shall have received notice of such Financial LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time or the Applicable Time, as applicable, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Parent Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time or the Applicable Time, as applicable, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Parent Borrower receives such notice; provided that, in the case of any Financial LC Disbursement made in Dollars, the Parent Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.3 or 2.4 that such payment be financed in Dollars with a Borrowing of ABR Domestic Revolving Loans or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Parent Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Borrowing of ABR Domestic Revolving Loans or Swingline Loan.  If the Parent Borrower fails to make such payment when due, then (i) if such payment relates to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, automatically and with no further action required, the Parent Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the applicable Financial LC Disbursement shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rates on the date when such payment was due, of such Financial LC Disbursement and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Lender and each other Domestic Revolving Lender of the applicable Financial LC Disbursement, the Dollar Equivalent thereof (if such Financial LC Disbursement relates to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit), the payment then due from the Parent Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Domestic Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Parent Borrower (determined as provided in clause (i) above, if such payment relates to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit), in the same manner as provided in Section 2.7 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.7 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the

 

60

 

Domestic Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Lender in Dollars the amounts so received by it from the Domestic Revolving Lenders.  Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Parent Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Domestic Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Lender as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by a Domestic Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Lender for any Financial LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Domestic Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Parent Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Financial LC Disbursement.

 

(ii)                                  If the applicable Issuing Lender shall make any Non-Financial LC Disbursement in respect of a Non-Financial Letter of Credit, the relevant Borrower shall reimburse such Non-Financial LC Disbursement by paying to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent an amount equal to such Non-Financial LC Disbursement plus any interim interest incurred pursuant to paragraph (h)(ii) of this Section for (x) Non-Financial LC Disbursements made in Dollars, in Dollars, or (y) Non-Financial LC Disbursements made in an Alternative Currency, in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the applicable Exchange Rate on the date such Non-Financial LC Disbursement is made, of such Non-Financial LC Disbursement, in each case, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time or the Applicable Time, as applicable, on the date that such Non-Financial LC Disbursement is made, if such Borrower shall have received notice of such Non-Financial LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time or the Applicable Time, as applicable, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by such Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time or the Applicable Time, as applicable, on the Business Day immediately following the day that such Borrower receives such notice; provided that, in the case of any Non-Financial LC Disbursement made in Dollars, the relevant Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.3 or 2.4 that such payment be financed in Dollars with a Borrowing of ABR Global Revolving Loans in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Borrowing of ABR Global Revolving Loans.  If the relevant Borrower fails to make such payment when due, then (i) if such payment relates to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, automatically and with no further action required, such Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the applicable Non-Financial LC Disbursement shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rates on the date when such payment was due, of such Non-Financial LC Disbursement and (ii) the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Lender and each other Global Revolving Lender of the applicable Non-Financial LC Disbursement, the Dollar Equivalent thereof (if such Non-Financial LC Disbursement relates to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit), the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Global Revolving Lender shall pay to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent in Dollars its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the relevant Borrower (determined as provided in clause (i) above, if such payment relates to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit), in the same manner as provided in Section 2.7 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.7 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Global Revolving Lenders), and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Lender in Dollars the amounts so received by it from the Global Revolving Lenders.  Promptly following receipt by the Foreign Trade Facility Agent of any payment from any Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Lender or, to the 

 

61

 

extent that Global Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Lender as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by a Global Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Lender for any Non-Financial LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Global Revolving Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve any Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Non-Financial LC Disbursement.

 

(f)                                   Obligations Absolute.

 

(i)                                     The Parent Borrower’s obligation to reimburse Financial LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e)(i) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Financial Letter of Credit, any application for the issuance of a Financial Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Financial Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Lender under a Financial Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Financial Letter of Credit, (iv) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Parent Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower in the relevant currency markets generally or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, such Borrower’s obligations hereunder.  Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Lender, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Financial Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Financial Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Lender; provided that neither of the foregoing sentences shall be construed to excuse such Issuing Lender from liability to the Parent Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Parent Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Lender’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or failure to exercise care (each as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Financial Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Lender (each as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Financial Letter of Credit, an Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Financial Letter of Credit.

 

62

 

(ii)                                  A Borrower’s obligation to reimburse Non-Financial LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e)(ii) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Non-Financial Letter of Credit, any application for the issuance of a Non-Financial Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Non-Financial Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Lender under a Non-Financial Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Non-Financial Letter of Credit, (iv) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Parent Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower in the relevant currency markets generally or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, such Borrower’s obligations hereunder.  Neither the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Lender, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Non-Financial Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Non-Financial Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Lender; provided that neither of the foregoing sentences shall be construed to excuse such Issuing Lender from liability to a Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Lender’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or failure to exercise care (each as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Non-Financial Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Lender (each as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Non-Financial Letter of Credit, an Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Non-Financial Letter of Credit.

Such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy promptly thereafter) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Lender has made or will make a Financial LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Parent Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Lender and the Domestic Revolving Lenders with respect to any such Financial LC Disbursement.

 

63

 

(ii)                                  The applicable Issuing Lender shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Non-Financial Letter of Credit.  Such Issuing Lender shall promptly (and before any payment is made in respect thereof) notify the relevant Borrower and the Agents accordingly, including whether such Issuing Lender has made or will make a Non-Financial LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the relevant Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Lender and the Global Revolving Lenders with respect to any such Non-Financial LC Disbursement.

 

(h)                                 Interim Interest.

 

(i)                                     If an Issuing Lender shall make any Financial LC Disbursement, then, unless the Parent Borrower shall reimburse such Financial LC Disbursement in full on the date such Financial LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such Financial LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Parent Borrower reimburses such Financial LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Domestic Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Parent Borrower fails to reimburse such Financial LC Disbursement (including any interim interest incurred in connection with such Financial LC Disbursement pursuant to this paragraph) when due pursuant to paragraph (e)(i) of this Section, then Section 2.15(c) shall apply; provided further that, in the case of a Financial LC Disbursement made under an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, the amount of interest due with respect thereto shall (i) in the case of any Financial LC Disbursement that is reimbursed on or before the Business Day immediately succeeding such Financial LC Disbursement, (A) be payable in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the applicable Exchange Rate on the date such Financial LC Disbursement is made, of such Financial LC Disbursement and (B) if not reimbursed on the date of such Financial LC Disbursement, bear interest at a rate equal to the rate reasonably determined by the applicable Issuing Lender to be the cost to such Issuing Lender of funding such Financial LC Disbursement plus the Applicable Rate applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans at such time and (ii) in the case of any Financial LC Disbursement that is reimbursed after the Business Day immediately succeeding such Financial LC Disbursement (A) be payable in Dollars, (B) accrue on the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rates on the date such Financial LC Disbursement was made, of such Financial LC Disbursement and (C) bear interest at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans, subject to Section 2.15(c).

The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of such Issuing Lender.  At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Parent Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(b)(i).  From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of such Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Financial Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require.  After the replacement of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Financial Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Financial Letters of Credit.

(j)                                    Cash Collateralization.

 

(i)                                     If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Parent Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Domestic Revolving Lenders with Financial LC Exposure representing at least 51% of the total Financial LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Parent Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Domestic Revolving Lenders, an amount in Dollars and in cash equal to the Financial LC Exposure of the Parent Borrower as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that (i) the portions of such amount attributable to undrawn Alternative Currency Letters of Credit or Financial LC Disbursements in an Alternative Currency that the Borrowers are not late in reimbursing shall be deposited in the applicable Alternative Currencies in the actual amounts of such undrawn Financial Letters of Credit and Financial LC Disbursements and (ii) the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Parent Borrower described in paragraph (h) or (i) of Article VII.  For the purposes of this paragraph, the Alternative Currency Financial LC Exposure shall be calculated using the Exchange Rates on the date notice demanding cash collateralization is delivered to the Parent Borrower.  The Parent Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.12(c).  Each such deposit pursuant to this paragraph or pursuant to Section 2.12(c) shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Parent Borrower under this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.  Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Parent Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.  Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.  Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for Financial LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Parent Borrower for the Financial LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Domestic Revolving Lenders with Financial LC Exposure representing at least 51% of the total Financial LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Parent Borrower under this Agreement.  If the Parent Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Parent Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.  If the Parent Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.12(c), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Parent Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Parent Borrower would remain in compliance with Section 2.12(c), and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  Furthermore, if any Financial Letter of Credit is outstanding on the date that the Parent Borrower terminates the Domestic Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.9(b), the Parent Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, either (A) cause any such Financial Letter of Credit to be surrendered for cancellation to the applicable Issuing Lender, (B) provide cash collateral pursuant to the terms of this paragraph (or other credit support reasonably satisfactory) to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Issuing Lender in an amount equal to at least 103% of the Face Amount of such Financial Letter of Credit pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or (C) provide a backup letter of credit on reasonably acceptable terms and conditions to such Issuing Lender in an amount equal to at least 103% of the Face Amount of such Financial Letter of Credit from a financial institution approved by such 

 

66

 

Issuing Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s existing banking practice consistently applied).  The Parent Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent a security interest in all such cash collateral and all proceeds thereof.  Such cash collateral shall be maintained in a blocked interest-bearing deposit account at Bank of America.  Upon notice to the Administrative Agent of the termination, reduction or expiration (without a pending drawing) of any such Financial Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall release the relevant cash collateral within three Business Days of the relevant date of termination, reduction or expiration, and the Administrative Agent shall use such cash collateral to promptly reimburse any Issuing Lender honoring any drawing under any such Financial Letter of Credit.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall be required to deposit cash in support of any obligation of any other Borrower and no collateral or other credit support provided by any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall serve as security for any obligation of any other Borrower.

 

(ii)                                  If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that a Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Global Revolving Lenders with Non-Financial LC Exposure representing at least 51% of the total Non-Financial LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, such Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, in the name of the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and for the benefit of the Global Revolving Lenders, an amount in Dollars and in cash equal to the Non-Financial LC Exposure of such Borrower as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that (i) the portions of such amount attributable to undrawn Alternative Currency Letters of Credit or Non-Financial LC Disbursements in an Alternative Currency that the Borrowers are not late in reimbursing shall be deposited in the applicable Alternative Currencies in the actual amounts of such undrawn Non-Financial Letters of Credit and Non-Financial LC Disbursements and (ii) the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Parent Borrower described in paragraph (h) or (i) of Article VII.  For the purposes of this paragraph, the Alternative Currency Non-Financial LC Exposure shall be calculated using the Exchange Rates on the date notice demanding cash collateralization is delivered to a Borrower.  Each Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.12(c).  Each such deposit pursuant to this paragraph or pursuant to Section 2.12(c) shall be held by the Foreign Trade Facility Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the applicable Borrower under this Agreement.  The Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.  Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and at the relevant Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.  Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.  Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Foreign Trade Facility Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for Non-Financial LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the relevant Borrower for the Non-Financial LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Global Revolving Lenders with Non-Financial LC Exposure representing at least 51% of the total Non-Financial LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement.  If a Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of 

 

67

 

Default have been cured or waived.  If a Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.12(c), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, such Borrower would remain in compliance with Section 2.12(c), and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  Furthermore, if any Non-Financial Letter of Credit is outstanding on the date that the Parent Borrower terminates the Global Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.9(b), the Parent Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, either (A) cause any such Non-Financial Letter of Credit to be surrendered for cancellation to the applicable Issuing Lender, (B) provide cash collateral pursuant to the terms of this paragraph (or other credit support reasonably satisfactory) to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent for the benefit of such Issuing Lender in an amount equal to at least 103% of the Face Amount of such Non-Financial Letter of Credit pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent or (C) provide a backup letter of credit on reasonably acceptable terms and conditions to such Issuing Lender in an amount equal to at least 103% of the Face Amount of such Non-Financial Letter of Credit from a financial institution approved by such Issuing Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s existing banking practice consistently applied).  The Parent Borrower hereby grants to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent a security interest in all such cash collateral and all proceeds thereof.  Such cash collateral shall be maintained in a blocked interest-bearing deposit account at the Foreign Trade Facility Agent’s institution.  Upon notice to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent of the termination, reduction or expiration (without a pending drawing) of any such Non-Financial Letter of Credit, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall release the relevant cash collateral within three Business Days of the relevant date of termination, reduction or expiration, and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall use such cash collateral to promptly reimburse any Issuing Lender honoring any drawing under any such Non-Financial Letter of Credit.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall be required to deposit cash in support of any obligation of any other Borrower and no collateral or other credit support provided by any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall serve as security for any obligation of any other Borrower.

(i)                                     In the event that the Loans become immediately due and payable on any date pursuant to Article VII, all amounts (i) that the Parent Borrower is at the time or thereafter becomes required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of Financial LC Disbursements made under any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (other than amounts in respect of which the Parent Borrower has deposited cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.5(j)(i), if such cash collateral was deposited in the applicable Alternative Currency to the extent so deposited or applied), (ii) that the Domestic Revolving Lenders are at the time or thereafter become required to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent is at the time or thereafter becomes required to distribute to the applicable Issuing Lender pursuant to paragraph (e)(i) of this Section in respect of unreimbursed Financial LC Disbursements made under any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit and (iii) of each Domestic Revolving Lender’s participation in any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit under which a Financial LC Disbursement has been made shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rates on such date (or in the case of any Financial LC Disbursement made after such date, on the date such Financial LC Disbursement is made), of such amounts.  On and after such conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Lender or any Lender in respect of the Obligations described in this paragraph shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder.

(i)                                     The Parent Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such Domestic Revolving Lender, designate one or more additional Domestic Revolving Lenders to act as an Issuing Lender of Financial Letters of Credit under the terms of this Agreement; provided that the total number of Domestic Revolving Lenders so designated at any time plus the total number of Issuing Lenders pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of the term “Issuing Lenders” at such time shall not exceed five.  Any Domestic Revolving Lender designated as Issuing Lender pursuant to this paragraph (l)(i) shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Lender” for the purposes of this Agreement (in addition to being a Domestic Revolving Lender) with respect to Financial Letters of Credit issued by such Domestic Revolving Lender.

 

(ii)                                  The Parent Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Foreign Trade Facility Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such Global Revolving Lender, designate one or more additional Global Revolving Lenders to act as an Issuing Lender of Non-Financial Letters of Credit under the terms of this Agreement; provided that the total number of Global Revolving Lenders so designated at any time plus the total number of Issuing Lenders pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of the term “Issuing Lenders” at such time shall not exceed three.  Any Global Revolving Lender designated as Issuing Lender pursuant to this paragraph (l)(ii) shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Lender” for the purposes of this Agreement (in addition to being a Global Revolving Lender) with respect to Non-Financial Letters of Credit issued by such Global Revolving Lender.

 

(m)                             Reporting.

 

(i)                                     Each Issuing Lender of Financial Letters of Credit will report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first Business Day of each week, the aggregate Face Amount of Financial Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the last Business Day of the preceding week, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Lender expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Financial Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance or 

 

69

 

amendment, and the aggregate Face Amount of Financial Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and such Issuing Lender shall advise the Administrative Agent on such Business Day whether such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred and whether the amount thereof changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Lender makes any Financial LC Disbursement, the date of such Financial LC Disbursement and the amount of such Financial LC Disbursement and (iv) on any Business Day on which the Parent Borrower fails to reimburse a Financial LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Lender on such day, the date of such failure, the Parent Borrower and amount of such Financial LC Disbursement.

 

(ii)                                  Reporting requirements with respect to a Non-Financial Letter of Credit shall be subject to the same terms, conditions and provisions of Section 2.6, except instead of relating to the reporting requirements of a Participation FCI, they shall relate to the reporting requirements of a Non-Financial Letter of Credit, and the terms, conditions and provisions of Section 2.6 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the reporting requirements of a Non-Financial Letter of Credit.

 

Section 2.6                                   FCIs.

 

(a)                                 FCI Issuing Commitments.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) (A) each Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender severally agrees to issue Bilateral FCIs (other than Trade LCs), and (B) each Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion and with terms and conditions required by such Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender, issue Trade LCs; provided that after giving effect to any issuance of any Bilateral FCI, the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding amount of the Bilateral FCI Reimbursement Obligations of such Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender, and of the Bilateral FCIs of such Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender shall not exceed the principal amount of the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment of such Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender at such time and (ii) each Participation FCI Issuing Lender severally agrees to issue Participation FCIs; provided that after giving effect to any issuance of any Participation FCI, the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding amount of Participation FCI Reimbursement Obligations of such Participation FCI Issuing Lender and of Participation FCIs of such Participation FCI Issuing Lender shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Participation FCI Issuing Commitments at such time and (y) the amount of the Participation FCI Commitment of such Participation FCI Issuing Lender at such time.  Each Existing FCI issued by a Participation FCI Issuing Lender shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to constitute a Participation FCI issued by such Participation FCI Issuing Lender pursuant hereto for the applicable Borrower (and such Borrower, whether or not it is the Borrower for which such Existing FCI was originally issued under the Existing Credit Agreement, shall be obligated and liable in respect of such Existing FCI under the terms and conditions of this Agreement as if such Existing FCI had been originally issued at its request under this Agreement) and the Participation FCI Issuing Commitment of such Participation FCI Issuing Lender shall be deemed utilized in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of all Existing FCIs issued by it and determined as of the Funding Date, subject to subsequent determinations of such Dollar Equivalent pursuant to Section 2.6(n).  Each FCI Issuing Lender, after consultation with the Parent Borrower or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, may issue any Bilateral FCI or Participation FCI, as applicable, by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such FCI Issuing Lender to issue such Bilateral FCI or Participation FCI if in the judgment of such FCI Issuing Lender such designation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.19, as the case may be, and (ii) would not subject such FCI Issuing Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense, or would otherwise be advantageous to such FCI Issuing Lender; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligations of the relevant Borrower or such FCI Issuing Lender under this Section 2.6.  Each Participation FCI Issuing Lender hereby confirms that the Existing FCIs issued by it conform to the Mandatory Requirements.  Furthermore, if (v) any letter of credit, guarantee or surety

 

70

 

has been previously issued by an FCI Issuing Lender, (w) the reimbursement obligations of the account party (the “Original FCI Account Party”) relating to such letter of credit, guarantee or surety have been or are assumed in writing by the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (such assuming Person, the “FCI Assuming Person”) pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition or other transaction permitted under the Credit Agreement, (x) there is sufficient availability hereunder for the inclusion of such letter of credit, guarantee or surety as an FCI hereunder, (y) such letter of credit, guarantee or surety satisfies all of the requirements of an FCI hereunder, and (z) the conditions of Sections 4.3(a) and 4.3(b) are satisfied, then upon the written request of the Parent Borrower to such FCI Issuing Lender (consented to in writing by such FCI Issuing Lender), the submission by the Parent Borrower to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent of a copy of such request bearing such consent and the submission by a Borrower to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent of a completed Utilization Request including a statement that the foregoing requirements (v) through (z), inclusive, have been satisfied and that such Borrower submitting such Utilization Request shall be treated as a Borrower hereunder with respect to such letter of credit, guarantee or surety, such letter of credit, guarantee or surety shall be (from the date of such consent of such FCI Issuing Lender) deemed a Bilateral FCI or Participation FCI (such designation as a Bilateral FCI or Participation FCI to be in the sole discretion of the applicable FCI Issuing Lender) for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and considered issued hereunder at the request of the Borrower that submitted such Utilization Request pursuant to the terms hereof (the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents shall govern and prevail in the case of any conflict with the provisions of the agreement(s) pursuant to which such letter of credit, guarantee or surety had been issued (such agreement(s), the “Original FCI-Related Agreements”), and such FCI Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have released the Original FCI Account Party and the FCI Assuming Person from the Original FCI-Related Agreements to the extent of such conflict).  Any Utilization Request submitted to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be reviewed and processed in accordance with Section 2.6(c), Section 2.6(d), Section 2.6(e) and Section 2.6(f), as applicable.  Notwithstanding that any such assumed letter of credit, guarantee or surety is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Restricted Subsidiary or a Joint Venture, the Parent Borrower and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers agree that the applicable Borrower (as identified in the Utilization Request referenced above) shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable FCI Issuing Lender hereunder for any and all drawings under such letter of credit, guarantee or surety.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the following provisions shall apply in respect of Trade LCs:  (i) each Trade LC shall be administered directly between the Borrowers and the applicable Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender, and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall not be involved in that process; (ii) each request for the issuance or amendment of a Trade LC shall be sent by the relevant Borrower directly to the Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender requested to issue or amend such Trade LC; (iii) the applicable Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender shall be responsible for ensuring that neither the issuance of any Trade LC or other Bilateral FCI nor the issuance of any amendment increasing the stated amount of any thereof causes such Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender’s FCI Issuing Lender Exposure in respect of Trade LCs and other Bilateral FCIs to exceed such Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender’s Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment; (iv) the Borrowers and the applicable Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender shall be responsible for arranging for the reimbursement of any drawings under such Trade LCs; (v) the reporting as to outstanding Trade LCs, including the issuance thereof, any drawings thereunder, any banker’s acceptances created thereunder, any deferred payment undertakings incurred thereunder, and any obligations thereunder to reimburse any negotiating banks, confirming banks or other nominated banks shall be as agreed from time to time by the Borrowers and the applicable Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender; (vi) the applicable Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender shall be responsible for determining and monitoring whether, due to changes in foreign currency rates or otherwise, the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the FCI Issuing Lender Exposure of such Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender in respect of Trade LCs and other Bilateral FCIs at any time exceeds such Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender’s Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment and, if there is such an excess, the relevant Borrower shall arrange to provide Cash Cover for the amount of such 

 

71

 

excess in accordance with Section 2.6(o)(i); and (vii) the Borrowers and the applicable Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender shall be responsible for the calculation, payment and collection of all fees and handling charges with respect to Trade LCs (including arranging for any necessary offset to take account of any fees calculated by the Foreign Trade Facility Agent without reference to such Trade LCs); provided that any Bilateral FCI Fees payable to any Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender in respect of Trade LCs shall be reduced by the amount of any related Bilateral FCI Commitment Fee payable in respect of the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment of such Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender utilized by the issuance of such Trade LCs.

 

(b)                                 Extension Option.

 

(i)                                     The Parent Borrower may from time to time during the term of this Agreement, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent (such notice being an “Extension Notice”) delivered no later than 60 days prior to the Foreign Trade Maturity Date (the date of such notice, the “Notice Date”), request the Lenders with a Participation FCI Commitment and the FCI Issuing Lenders to extend the then applicable Foreign Trade Maturity Date for an additional year (the “Extended Foreign Trade Maturity Date”).  The Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall promptly transmit any Extension Notice to each Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment and each FCI Issuing Lender.  Each FCI Issuing Lender and each Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment shall notify the Foreign Trade Facility Agent whether it wishes to extend the then applicable Foreign Trade Maturity Date at least 30 days (or such earlier date as directed by the Parent Borrower) prior to the then applicable Foreign Trade Maturity Date, and any such notice given by an FCI Issuing Lender or a Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, once given, shall be irrevocable as to such Lender.  The Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower of the notice of each FCI Issuing Lender and each Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment that it wishes to extend (each, an “Extension Acceptance Notice”).  Any FCI Issuing Lender and any Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment which does not expressly notify the Foreign Trade Facility Agent on or before the date that is 30 days (or such earlier date as directed by the Parent Borrower) prior to the then applicable Foreign Trade Revolving Maturity Date that it wishes to so extend the then applicable Foreign Trade Maturity Date shall be deemed to have rejected the Parent Borrower’s request for extension of such Foreign Trade Maturity Date.  If all the Lenders with a Participation FCI Commitment and all the FCI Issuing Lenders have elected (in their sole and absolute discretion) to so extend the then applicable Foreign Trade Maturity Date, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower of such election by the Lenders with a Participation FCI Commitment and the FCI Issuing Lenders no later than five Business Days after the date when Extension Acceptance Notices are due, and effective on the date of such notice by the Foreign Trade Facility Agent to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower (the “Extension Date”), the Foreign Trade Maturity Date shall be automatically and immediately so extended to the Extended Foreign Trade Maturity Date.  No extension will be permitted hereunder without the consent of all the Lenders with a Participation FCI Commitment and all the FCI Issuing Lenders (after giving effect to the replacement of any non-extending Lender or non-extending FCI Issuing Lender pursuant to paragraph (iii) or (iv) below, as applicable) unless, at the election of the Parent Borrower, in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, the Parent Borrower removes from the Foreign Trade Facility each Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment and each FCI Issuing Lender that has not so consented to the Extended Foreign Trade Maturity Date, in which case the Participation FCI Commitments, Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitments and Participation FCI Issuing Commitments of each such removed Lender and removed FCI Issuing Lender, as applicable, will be automatically terminated as of the then applicable Foreign Trade Maturity Date (not giving effect to the proposed

 

72

 

extension), and the aggregate Participation FCI Commitments, Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitments and Participation FCI Issuing Commitments hereunder shall be reduced as of the then applicable Foreign Trade Maturity Date (not giving effect to the proposed extension) by the amounts of the Participation FCI Commitments, Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitments and Participation FCI Issuing Commitments of each such removed Lender and removed FCI Issuing Lender, as applicable; provided, that, (x) after giving effect to any such removal by the Parent Borrower and resulting termination of the Participation FCI Commitment, Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment or Participation FCI Issuing Commitment of any such removed Lender or removed FCI Issuing Lender, (A) the total FCI Issuing Lender Exposures with respect to Participation FCIs of all the Participation FCI Issuing Lenders (including those non-extending Participation FCI Issuing Lenders that have not, at the election of the Parent Borrower in its sole discretion, received a Counter-Guarantee to support the outstanding Participation FCIs issued by such non-extending Participation FCI Issuing Lender) does not exceed the total Participation FCI Commitments of all the extending Lenders with Participation FCI Commitments, (B) each outstanding Bilateral FCI and outstanding Participation FCI issued by an FCI Issuing Lender removed in accordance with this Section shall continue to be considered an issued Bilateral FCI or Participation FCI (as applicable) hereunder and part of the FCI Issuing Lender Exposure hereunder unless the Parent Borrower elects in its sole discretion to have a Counter-Guarantee issued hereunder in favor of such removed FCI Issuing Lender to support such Bilateral FCIs and Participation FCIs, in which case such Bilateral FCIs and Participation FCIs shall no longer be considered to be Bilateral FCIs or Participation FCIs issued pursuant to this Agreement except that for purposes of Section 2.6(p)(iii), (iv) and (v) and Section 2.6(h) such Bilateral FCIs and Participation FCIs shall continue to be considered as issued pursuant to this Agreement and the Borrowers’ obligations under such Sections with respect to fees, costs, expenses, reimbursement and indemnification obligations shall continue to apply with respect to such Bilateral FCIs and Participation FCIs and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall have entered into such agreements, if any, as any of them shall have reasonably requested to reflect such extension of the Foreign Trade Facility with reduced Participation FCI Commitments, Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitments and Participation FCI Issuing Commitments, as the case may be, reflecting the removal of such Lenders with Participation FCI Commitments and FCI Issuing Lenders, as the case may be (and any participations purchased under this Agreement shall be automatically appropriately adjusted in amount to reflect such changed Commitments) and (y) any such removed Lender or removed FCI Issuing Lender, as applicable, shall have received payment of all amounts owing to such removed Lender or removed FCI Issuing Lender with respect to its Participation FCI Commitment, Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment and/or Participation FCI Issuing Commitment, as applicable, including the repayment of an amount equal to the outstanding funded participations of all FCI Disbursements made by such removed Lender or funded FCI Disbursements made by such removed FCI Issuing Lender, as applicable, any accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in connection with such Commitment.  Upon the delivery of an Extension Notice and upon the extension of the Foreign Trade Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 2.6(b)(i), the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted on and as of the Notice Date and the Extension Date, as the case may be, that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment or FCI Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to extend the Foreign Trade Maturity Date, and each Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment and each FCI Issuing Lender may (with respect to its respective Participation FCI Commitment, Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment and/or Participation FCI Issuing Commitment) at its option, unconditionally and without cause, decline to extend the Foreign Trade Maturity Date.

 

73

 

(ii)                                  If the Foreign Trade Maturity Date shall have been extended in accordance with Section 2.6(b)(i), all references herein to the “Foreign Trade Maturity Date” shall refer to the Extended Foreign Trade Maturity Date.

 

(iii)                               The Parent Borrower shall have the right on or before the applicable Foreign Trade Maturity Date to replace each non-extending Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment with one or more Persons (A) reasonably satisfactory to the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and (B) satisfactory to the Participation FCI Issuing Lenders in their sole discretion (such replacing Persons, the “Additional Participation FCI Lenders”), as provided in Section 2.21(b), each of which such Additional Participation FCI Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Additional Participation FCI Lender shall, effective as of the applicable Foreign Trade Maturity Date, undertake a Participation FCI Commitment (and if any such Additional Participation FCI Lender is already a Lender, its new Commitment shall be in addition to any other Commitment of such Lender on such date).

 

(iv)                              The Parent Borrower shall have the right on or before the applicable Foreign Trade Maturity Date to replace each non-extending FCI Issuing Lender with one or more Persons reasonably satisfactory to the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent (such replacing Persons, the “Additional FCI Issuing Lenders”), as provided in Section 2.21(b), each of which such Additional FCI Issuing Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Additional FCI Issuing Lender shall, effective as of the applicable Foreign Trade Maturity Date, undertake a Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment and/or Participation FCI Issuing Commitment (and if any such Additional FCI Issuing Lender is already an FCI Issuing Lender, its new Commitment shall be in addition to any other Commitment of such FCI Issuing Lender on such date).

 

(c)                                  Procedure for Issuance and Reversals. Each Borrower may, at any time and from time to time during the period from the Funding Date until the Foreign Trade Maturity Date, request the issuance of FCIs or an extension or other amendment of any outstanding FCI by sending to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent a duly completed request for issuance (each, a “Utilization Request”) by electronic transfer using the db direct internet or replacement communications facility in accordance with the terms of the DB Direct Internet Agreement.  If for technical reasons it should not be possible to make a request for issuance through db direct internet (or such replacement communications facility), such request may be made (to be pre-advised by the relevant Borrower) via fax, via email or by letter, in substantially the form of Exhibit H, in each case to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent as specified in Section 9.1 (or to a fax number, email address or other address agreed with the Foreign Trade Facility Agent for this purpose), receipt of such fax, email or letter to be promptly confirmed by the Foreign Trade Facility Agent to the relevant Borrower for this purpose; provided that in such case explicit reference must be made to this Agreement, and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall in such case not be held responsible for a delayed processing of such Utilization Request unless such delayed processing is caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct (each as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) on the part of the Foreign Trade Facility Agent following the confirmation of the receipt of the relevant fax, email or letter.  It is acknowledged that the Foreign Trade Facility Agent will not, in the event a Utilization Request is submitted by fax, or email, be in a position to verify whether such Utilization Request has been duly authorized and sent by the relevant Borrower, and each Borrower hereby agrees that the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall be entitled to execute all Utilization Requests received by fax or email if on their face such fax letters or emails appear to be duly authorized and executed or sent by persons acting on behalf of such Borrower who have been identified as authorized signatories in annex 1.3.1 (or any replacement annex) to the DB Direct Internet Agreement or in the officer’s certificate furnished pursuant to Section 4.2(i).  Neither the Foreign Trade Facility Agent nor any 

 

74

 

of the Lenders shall be held liable for the execution of any forged Utilization Request received by fax or email except where the forgery is evident on the face of the forged Utilization Request furnished to such Person or the Foreign Trade Facility Agent or the respective FCI Issuing Lender acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct (each as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) with respect to such Utilization Request.  No Utilization Request will be regarded as having been duly completed unless:

 

(i)                                     the requested undertaking would constitute a Warranty Guarantee, a Performance Guarantee, an Advance Payment Guarantee, a Tender Guarantee, a Counter-Guarantee, a General Purpose Guarantee or with respect to a Bilateral FCI, a Trade LC;

 

(ii)                                  such Utilization Request and the terms and conditions for the requested FCI are in the English language (or, if not in the English language, then in the sole discretion of the Foreign Trade Facility Agent or the applicable Participation FCI Issuing Lender or Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender, must be accompanied by an English translation certified by the relevant Borrower to be a true and correct English translation that the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and such Participation FCI Issuing Lender or Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender, as applicable, shall be entitled to rely upon) and in accordance with the Mandatory Requirements;

 

(iii)                               the requested FCI is denominated in a Permitted Currency or any other currency agreed by the applicable FCI Issuing Lender and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent;

 

(iv)                              the expiry date of the requested FCI (A) is not stated by reference to any events in the underlying contract, (B) is not subject to conflicting interpretation, and (C) if the requested FCI does not provide for determination of a specific expiry date, the Commercial Lifetime falls within the Permitted Maturity;

 

(v)                                 the obligor of the obligations to be supported by the requested FCI is named;

 

(vi)                              upon issuance of the requested FCI (for this purpose such FCI is deemed to be issued at the time of receipt of the Utilization Request therefor by the Foreign Trade Facility Agent), the thresholds for the different types of FCIs set forth under Section 2.6(d) would not be exceeded;

 

(vii)                           an FCI Issuing Lender is determined pursuant to the terms hereof;

 

(viii)                        the Utilization Request is in compliance with Section 2.6(d); and

 

(ix)                              the Utilization Request indicates whether the applicable Borrower requests a Bilateral FCI or Participation FCI to be issued.

 

Only one FCI may be requested in each Utilization Request.  A Utilization Request may only be revoked by the relevant Borrower (x) until the Foreign Trade Facility Agent has forwarded the Utilization Request to the relevant FCI Issuing Lender in accordance with Section 2.6(g), by giving notice to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent or (y) thereafter, by giving notice to the relevant FCI Issuing Lender which has to be received by such FCI Issuing Lender at a time when such FCI Issuing Lender will, with reasonable efforts, still be in a position to stop the delivery of the relevant FCI to the relevant beneficiary or any other Person as instructed by such Borrower.  In such case, the relevant FCI Issuing Lender shall promptly inform the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and the relevant Borrower that the requested FCI has not been issued.  No FCI Issuing Lender shall be required to issue an FCI in any jurisdiction that would impose withholding taxes on any payments in respect of such FCI.

 

75

 

(d)                                 Limitations on Use.  The Borrowers may only request the issuance of FCIs if:

 

(i)                                     with respect to the issuance of a Bilateral FCI, the Dollar Equivalent of such requested Bilateral FCI, when aggregated with the Dollar Equivalent of all other outstanding Bilateral FCIs and unreimbursed FCI Disbursements with respect to Bilateral FCIs as of the time of receipt of the relevant Utilization Request, does not exceed the total Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitments; and

 

(ii)                                  with respect to any Participation FCI, (A) the Dollar Equivalent of such requested Participation FCI, when aggregated with the Dollar Equivalent of all other outstanding Participation FCIs and unreimbursed FCI Disbursements with respect to Participation FCIs as of the time of receipt of the relevant Utilization Request, does not exceed the total Participation FCI Issuing Commitments and (B) the Dollar Equivalent of such requested Participation FCI, when aggregated with the Dollar Equivalent of all other outstanding Participation FCIs and unreimbursed FCI Disbursements with respect to Participation FCIs as of the time of receipt of the relevant Utilization Request, does not exceed the total Participation FCI Commitments.

 

If the Foreign Trade Facility Agent is of the opinion that a requested FCI is not of the type as specified in the Utilization Request by a Borrower or if the type of FCI is not clearly specified in the relevant Utilization Request, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall reasonably determine the type of the requested FCI based on the purpose (or, if such FCI is intended to serve more than one purpose, the primary purpose) assumed by the Foreign Trade Facility Agent on the basis of the wording of the relevant requested FCI and the facts and circumstances known to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent at the time of the receipt of such Utilization Request, and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall inform such Borrower accordingly of such determination.  No Borrower shall make a Utilization Request for FCIs to serve as security for obligations of any Person other than a Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary or a Joint Venture.

 

(e)                                  Deviations from FCI Requirements.  No FCI shall be issued by any FCI Issuing Lender if, in the case of a Participation FCI, the Mandatory Requirements are not fulfilled.  No FCI Issuing Lender shall be obliged to issue an FCI (i) which does not fulfill the Dispensable Requirements, (ii) which shall be issued in a currency other than a Permitted Currency, or (iii) if the issuance of the relevant FCI is not permitted pursuant to its internal rules and guidelines.  In order to avoid a rejection of any issuance of an FCI requested by a Borrower due to non-compliance of its terms with the Dispensable Requirements, each Borrower hereby undertakes that, with respect to any FCI to be issued where the Borrower considers it reasonably likely that it will not be in a position to negotiate with the relevant future beneficiary terms for the relevant FCI which will meet the Dispensable Requirements, such Borrower will as soon as possible approach the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and designate an FCI Issuing Lender to issue such FCI pursuant to the terms of Section 2.6(f).  Each Borrower shall seek advice from the FCI Issuing Lender designated by such Borrower as the relevant FCI Issuing Lender with respect to all FCI related issues during its negotiations of the underlying contract with the potential beneficiary of such FCI.  In cases where, in spite of such Borrower’s commercially reasonable efforts, fulfillment of the Dispensable Requirements appears unachievable, the relevant FCI Issuing Lender and such Borrower shall try to reach an agreement on an indemnity in favor of such FCI Issuing Lender which allows such FCI Issuing Lender to issue the relevant FCI in its contractual relationship with such Borrower; provided that the right of the relevant FCI Issuing Lender to reject the issuance of the requested FCI shall remain unaffected.

 

(f)                                   Receipt of Utilization Request.

 

(i)                                     Following the receipt of a Utilization Request, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall determine whether in its opinion the Utilization Request is duly completed.  If the Foreign 

 

76

 

Trade Facility Agent is of the opinion that the Utilization Request is not duly completed, it shall promptly inform the relevant Borrower and shall liaise with such Borrower with a view to agree on a modification of such Utilization Request.  If no such agreement can be reached, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall reject the Utilization Request.  If the Foreign Trade Facility Agent is of the opinion (following a modification of such Utilization Request) that the Utilization Request is duly completed, it shall forward such Utilization Request to the designated FCI Issuing Lender(s).

 

(ii)                                  If the Foreign Trade Facility Agent determines that, due to the amount of the requested FCI, the requested FCI cannot be issued by a single FCI Issuing Lender, it shall promptly inform the relevant Borrower and such Borrower shall then either withdraw the relevant Utilization Request or instruct the Foreign Trade Facility Agent that the relevant FCI shall be split into two or, if necessary due to the amount of the FCI, more FCIs issued by two or more FCI Issuing Lenders.

 

(iii)                               In no event shall the aggregate amount (without duplication) of the sum of the Dollar Equivalent of all Bilateral FCIs issued by all FCI Issuing Lenders plus the Dollar Equivalent of all unreimbursed FCI Disbursements of all such FCI Issuing Lenders with respect to Bilateral FCIs exceed the aggregate amount of the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitments.

 

(iv)                              In no event shall the aggregate amount (without duplication) of the sum of the Dollar Equivalent of all Participation FCIs issued by all FCI Issuing Lenders plus the Dollar Equivalent of all unreimbursed FCI Disbursements of all such FCI Issuing Lenders with respect to Participation FCIs exceed the aggregate amount of the Participation FCI Issuing Commitments or the Participation FCI Commitments.

 

(g)                                  Issuance of FCIs.

 

(i)                                     The Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall promptly forward each Utilization Request to the relevant FCI Issuing Lender no later than 3:00 p.m., Düsseldorf time, on the Business Day following the day it has received such Utilization Request (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the Business Day following the first Business Day after the day the Foreign Trade Facility Agent has received the Utilization Request).  The Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall determine in its notice to the relevant FCI Issuing Lender the day on which the requested FCI shall be issued (such day being the “Utilization Date”) which shall be the second Business Day of such FCI Issuing Lender immediately following its receipt of the Utilization Request.  Such FCI Issuing Lender(s) shall issue the respective FCI(s) on the Utilization Date unless such FCI Issuing Lender informs the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and the relevant Borrower on or prior to 5:00 p.m., Düsseldorf time, on the Utilization Date that (and specifying the reasons) (x) it will not be able to issue the relevant FCI on the Utilization Date (in which case the FCI Issuing Lender shall inform the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and such Borrower when it will be able to issue the relevant FCI) or (y) it will not be able to issue the FCI at all (1) due to its internal rules and guidelines, (2) due to any applicable law or regulation with which it has to comply, (3) due to the currency (other than any Permitted Currency) in which the FCI shall be issued, (4) because it is of the opinion that, in the case of Participation FCIs, the Mandatory Requirements are not fulfilled, or (5) because it is of the opinion that the Dispensable Requirements are not fulfilled.  No FCI Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Participation FCI if any Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such FCI Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of cash collateral or other credit support to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, satisfactory to such FCI Issuing Lender (in its reasonable discretion) with the Parent Borrower or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate such FCI Issuing Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.24(a)(iv)) 

 

77

 

with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the FCI then proposed to be issued or that FCI and all other FCI Exposure as to which such FCI Issuing Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

 

(ii)                                  If an FCI shall be issued on the same day the Utilization Request is delivered to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent (or if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day), the relevant Borrower shall inform the Foreign Trade Facility Agent in advance that the requested FCI shall be issued on the same day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day).  The Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall promptly inform the relevant FCI Issuing Lender accordingly which shall be obliged to use commercially reasonable efforts to issue the FCI on the same day as it receives the Utilization Request (or if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day).

 

(iii)                               (A) In the cases referred to in clause (x) or clause (y)(3) of Section 2.6(g)(i) above, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall obtain, and follow, instructions from the relevant Borrower, (B) in the cases referred to in clause (y)(1), (2), (4) and (5) of Section 2.6(g)(i) above, the relevant Borrower shall agree with the relevant FCI Issuing Lender as to any amendments necessary to the respective FCI to enable the relevant FCI Issuing Lender to issue the relevant FCI and, in the case of sub-paragraph (y)(5), Section 2.6(e) shall apply mutatis mutandis, (C) if, in the cases referred to under (A) or (B) above, no agreement can be reached between the relevant FCI Issuing Lender and the relevant Borrower, such FCI Issuing Lender shall reject the request to issue the requested FCI and the relevant Borrower shall promptly advise the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and shall designate another FCI Issuing Lender and the time for issuance of the FCI shall be postponed to the extent necessary for practical reasons.  Such FCI Issuing Lender shall promptly inform the Foreign Trade Facility Agent about all changes agreed with such Borrower with respect to a Utilization Request in accordance with this clause (iii).

 

(iv)                              The relevant FCI Issuing Lender may either issue the FCI directly or, if requested by and agreed with the relevant Borrower, arrange that the FCI (an “Indirect FCI”) be issued by a second bank (including one of such FCI Issuing Lender’s domestic or foreign branches or affiliates) or financial institution (the “Indirect FCI Issuing Lender”) against such FCI Issuing Lender’s corresponding Counter-Guarantee (which may support one or more Indirect FCIs and which may be for a longer or shorter tenor than such Indirect FCI(s) so long as the tenor of such Counter-Guarantee is permitted under this Agreement) in the form satisfactory to the Indirect FCI Issuing Lender.  In addition, in the case that an issued and outstanding letter of credit, guaranty or surety is being rolled into the Foreign Trade Facility as an FCI in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then if requested by and agreed with the relevant Borrower, the relevant FCI Issuing Lender may arrange that one or more corresponding Counter-Guarantees (which may support one or more Indirect FCIs and which may be for a longer or shorter tenor than such Indirect FCI(s) so long as the tenor of such Counter-Guarantee is permitted under this Agreement), in the form satisfactory to the issuer of such existing letter of credit, guaranty or surety, be issued by such FCI Issuing Lender, in which event (A) the issued letter of credit, guaranty or surety shall be treated as an Indirect FCI, (B) the issuer thereof shall be treated as an Indirect FCI Issuing Lender, and (C) such FCI Issuing Lender rather than the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall be responsible for checking for compliance with the Mandatory Requirements (except that only the Mandatory Requirements under the headings “Permitted Types of Instruments” and “Expiry” need to be complied with; for the avoidance of doubt, the Mandatory Requirements under the headings “Rules”, “Reference to Underlying Transaction/Purpose Clause” and “Payment Obligations”, as well as the Dispensable Requirements need not be complied with) with respect to such Indirect FCIs in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, but the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall be responsible for 

 

78

 

checking for compliance with all the Mandatory Requirements with respect to the corresponding Counter-Guarantee(s) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  In case of an Indirect FCI, such FCI Issuing Lender is entitled to receive, for payment to the Indirect FCI Issuing Lender, separate fees and expenses in respect of such Indirect FCI in addition to the fees and expenses pursuant to Section 2.6(p).  In line with international practices, the tenor of a Counter-Guarantee in favor of the Indirect FCI Issuing Lender may exceed the tenor of the Indirect FCI by at least ten calendar days so long as such tenor is permitted under this Agreement.

 

(v)                                 If a Utilization Request is made to request an amendment (including an extension) of any outstanding FCI, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall forward the Utilization Request to the relevant FCI Issuing Lender if the requirements of Section 2.6(d) are fulfilled.  Clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.6(g) shall apply mutatis mutandis.

 

(vi)                              Each FCI Issuing Lender shall comply at all times with the obligations set forth on Schedule 2.6(g).

 

(vii)                           If the relevant FCI Issuing Lender has not rejected the request to issue an FCI, the requested currency of which is not a Permitted Currency, the relevant Borrower assumes all risks related thereto and shall reimburse all costs reasonably incurred in connection with the procurement of such currency for honoring such FCI in such specific currency.

 

(h)                                 Borrower Liabilities.

 

(i)                                     If an FCI Issuing Lender receives a request for payment under any FCI (including from an Indirect FCI Issuing Lender under a Counter-Guarantee) issued by it, it shall promptly (and before any payment is made in respect thereof) inform the relevant Borrower, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and the Administrative Agent accordingly.  A Borrower’s obligation to reimburse any payment made by an FCI Issuing Lender under an FCI (each, an “FCI Disbursement”) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any FCI, of any request for the issuance thereof or of this Agreement, or of any term or provision therein or herein, or of any underlying agreement (ii) any draft or other document presented under an FCI proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable FCI Issuing Lender under an FCI against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such FCI, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, such Borrower’s obligations hereunder.  Neither the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, the Lenders nor any FCI Issuing Lender, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any FCI or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any FCI (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms, any error in the finding of true facts or law or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable FCI Issuing Lender; provided that neither of the foregoing sentences shall be construed to excuse such FCI Issuing Lender from liability to the applicable Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by such FCI Issuing Lender’s gross

 

79

 

negligence, willful misconduct or failure to exercise care (each as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under an FCI comply with the terms thereof, or if the obligation to honor a request for payment under an FCI depends upon non-documentary conditions, whether questions of facts or law at issue in the underlying transaction justify the payment by the FCI Issuing Lender.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, (i) with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of an FCI, an FCI Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such FCI; or (ii) if the obligation to honor a request for payment under an FCI depends upon non-documentary conditions, an FCI Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such facts presented in connection with the request for payment, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary; provided, however, that the applicable Borrower does not promptly provide irrefutable evidence that facts presented in connection with the request for payment are not true, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such facts.  Without limiting any rights that the applicable FCI Issuing Lender may have under applicable law, (i) the applicable Borrower’s aggregate remedies against the applicable FCI Issuing Lender for wrongfully honoring a presentation or wrongfully retaining honored documents shall in no event exceed the aggregate amount paid by such Borrower to such FCI Issuing Lender with respect to the honored presentation, plus interest at the rate equal to the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for Interest Periods of one month, (ii) the applicable FCI Issuing Lender may accept as a draft any written or electronic demand or request for payment under an FCI, even if non-negotiable or not in the form of a draft, and may disregard any requirement that such draft, demand or request bear any or adequate reference to the FCI, and (iii) the applicable FCI Issuing Lender may purchase or discount an accepted draft or deferred payment obligation incurred under an FCI without affecting the amount or timing of the reimbursement due from the applicable Borrower.

 

(ii)                                  The relevant Borrower shall, upon demand from the relevant FCI Issuing Lender, reimburse such FCI Issuing Lender for, and irrevocably and unconditionally indemnify such FCI Issuing Lender against any sum paid or payable in accordance with clause (i) above under an FCI issued by such FCI Issuing Lender at the request of such Borrower and against all other liabilities, reasonable costs (including any costs incurred in funding any amount paid by such FCI Issuing Lender under or in connection with such FCI), claims, losses and expenses which such FCI Issuing Lender may at any time (whether before, on or after the Foreign Trade Maturity Date) reasonably incur or sustain in connection with or arising out of any such FCI.  Each such reimbursement shall be made in the currency in which the applicable FCI was issued.  If an FCI Issuing Lender shall make any FCI Disbursement, then, unless the relevant Borrower shall reimburse such FCI Disbursement in full on the date such FCI Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such FCI Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that such Borrower reimburses such FCI Disbursement, at a fluctuating per annum rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus 1.0%; provided that if such Borrower fails to reimburse such FCI Disbursement within five calendar days (including for any interest incurred in connection with such FCI Disbursement pursuant to the preceding provisions of this sentence), then such entire unpaid amount shall bear interest, for each day from and including the sixth calendar day after the date such FCI Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that such Borrower reimburses such FCI Disbursement, at a fluctuating per annum rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus 2.0%.

 

80

 

(i)                                     Participations.  (i) By the issuance of a Participation FCI (or an amendment to a Participation FCI increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable FCI Issuing Lender or the Lenders with Participation FCI Commitments, the applicable FCI Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have granted, automatically, to each Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment, and each Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment shall be deemed to have acquired, automatically, from such FCI Issuing Lender, a participation in such Participation FCI equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Participation FCI.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent in Dollars, for the account of such FCI Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of (i) each FCI Disbursement with respect to any Participation FCI made by such FCI Issuing Lender in Dollars and (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of each FCI Disbursement with respect to any Participation FCI made by such FCI Issuing Lender in a Permitted Currency or in another currency permitted under Section 2.6(g)(vii) and, in each case, not reimbursed or indemnified by the relevant Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section, or of any such reimbursement or indemnity payment required to be refunded to such Borrower for any reason.  Each Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment acknowledges and agrees that its obligations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Participation FCIs are absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Participation FCI and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Participation FCI Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

 

(j)                                    Reimbursement.  If the applicable FCI Issuing Lender shall make any FCI Disbursement in respect of a Participation FCI, and if the relevant Borrower fails to reimburse or to indemnify such FCI Issuing Lender for such FCI Disbursement in accordance with Section 2.6(h), the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall promptly notify the applicable FCI Issuing Lender and each other Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment of the applicable unreimbursed amount, the Dollar Equivalent thereof, the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment shall pay to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent in Dollars its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the relevant Borrower, and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable FCI Issuing Lender in Dollars the amounts so received by it from each such Lender.  Each Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment at its option (after consultation with the Parent Borrower) may perform any reimbursement obligation pursuant to this Section 2.6(j) by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to perform such reimbursement obligation if in the judgment of such Lender such designation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.19, as the case may be, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligations of the relevant Borrower or such Lender under this Section 2.6.  Promptly following receipt by the Foreign Trade Facility Agent of any payment from any Borrower pursuant to Section 2.6(h), the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders that have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such FCI Issuing Lender as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any FCI Issuing Lender for any FCI Disbursement made by the applicable FCI Issuing Lender shall not relieve any Borrower of its obligation to make any reimbursement or indemnity pursuant to Section 2.6(h).

 

(k)                                 Reversal of FCIs.

 

(i)                                     Each FCI Issuing Lender will notify the Foreign Trade Facility Agent on each Business Day about any expiration or reduction of the Face Amount of any FCI or Counter-

 

81

 

Guarantee issued by it which became effective the preceding Business Day (a “Utilization Reduction Notice”). With respect to:

 

(A)                               an FCI (other than a Counter-Guarantee or an Indirect FCI) which under its terms expires without any doubt if no demand has been received by such FCI Issuing Lender on or before a specified expiry date, such FCI Issuing Lender will give a Utilization Reduction Notice on the Business Day following the effectiveness of the reversal of the FCI, unless such FCI does not qualify for a reversal due to its governing law and/or jurisdiction (in which case clause (B) below shall apply mutatis mutandis);

 

(B)                               an FCI (other than a Counter-Guarantee or an Indirect FCI) which, under its terms either does not provide for a specific expiry date or does not otherwise expire without any doubt if no demand for payment has been received by such FCI Issuing Lender on or before a definite expiry date or in the case of a release of an FCI before the expiry date specified therein, such FCI Issuing Lender will give a Utilization Reduction Notice (1) as and when the original of the FCI including all amendments, if any, is received by it from the beneficiary or the relevant Borrower, or (2) after having received any explicit notice of release from the beneficiary in form and substance substantially in accordance with the form provided in Schedule 2.6(k);

 

(C)                               a Counter-Guarantee, such FCI Issuing Lender will give a Utilization Reduction Notice only upon being unconditionally discharged in writing from any respective liability by the Indirect FCI Issuing Lender, or upon such FCI Issuing Lender having paid the amount available under the Counter-Guarantee to the Indirect FCI Issuing Lender; provided that if the FCI Issuing Lender has been prevented from effecting such payment without delay, the Utilization Reduction Notice is subject to any assertion of damages on account of delay by the Indirect FCI Issuing Lender;

 

(D)                               an FCI (other than a Counter-Guarantee or an Indirect FCI) issued in connection with legal proceedings in Germany, such FCI Issuing Lender will give a Utilization Reduction Notice only upon receipt of the original of the FCI for discharge from the beneficiary or upon the beneficiary’s consent to the discharge or upon establishment of the expiry of the FCI by an executory order according to §109(2) of the German Code of Civil Procedure;

 

(E)                                an FCI (other than a Counter-Guarantee or an Indirect FCI), expressly subject to the Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 758, such FCI Issuing Lender will give a Utilization Reduction Notice if under said rules and due to the governing law and/or jurisdiction of such FCI a termination of a guarantee would have to be made;

 

(F)                                 an FCI (other than a Counter-Guarantee or an Indirect FCI), expressly subject to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, 2007 Revision, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600 or the International Standby Practices 1998, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590, such FCI Issuing Lender will give a Utilization Reduction Notice (1) as and when the original of the FCI including all amendments, if any, is being received by it for cancellation from the beneficiary or the relevant Borrower prior to its stated expiration date (if any), or (2) after having received any explicit notice of release from the beneficiary in form and substance substantially in accordance with the form provided in Schedule 2.6(k);

 

82

 

(G)                               reductions of an FCI or an Indirect FCI/Counter-Guarantee, such FCI Issuing Lender will give a Utilization Reduction Notice only if (1) the terms and conditions of any reduction clause of the terms of the FCI are, without any doubt, complied with or if the beneficiary or, in the case of an Indirect FCI, the Indirect FCI Issuing Lender has certified in writing and unconditionally the reduction of the FCI or Counter-Guarantee respectively or (2) the FCI Issuing Lender has effected partial payment pursuant to a demand; and

 

(H)                              any FCI in relation to which such FCI Issuing Lender has effected full payment pursuant to a demand so that the beneficiary would not be entitled to claim any further payment, such FCI Issuing Lender will give a Utilization Reduction Notice.

 

(ii)                                  If a claim under an FCI is lodged with the relevant FCI Issuing Lender after such FCI Issuing Lender has given a Utilization Reduction Notice with respect to such FCI:

 

(A)                               such FCI Issuing Lender shall effect payment only if such payment is expressly authorized by the relevant Borrower or ordered by a court decision, enforceable in the country where it was rendered; and

 

(B)                               the relevant Borrower shall (1) indemnify such FCI Issuing Lender in accordance with Section 2.6(h) and (2) pay to such FCI Issuing Lender an amount (without duplication) equal to the Participation FCI Commitment Fee such FCI Issuing Lender would have received if the relevant FCI or Joint Signature FCI had been outstanding from the date the relevant Utilization Reduction Notice was given until the date payment in respect of such claim is made by such Borrower to the FCI Issuing Lender in accordance with Section 2.6(h).

 

(l)                                     Permitted Maturity.  Each FCI shall have an expiry date that complies with the definition of Permitted Maturity, unless any such FCI does not provide for a specific expiry date, in which case the Commercial Lifetime of such FCI shall fall within the Permitted Maturity.

 

(m)                             Joint Signature FCIs.

 

(i)                                     If a Utilization Request has been made for an FCI to be issued as a Joint Signature FCI, then the relevant Borrower will approach the relevant beneficiary to ascertain whether such beneficiary is prepared to accept a Joint Signature FCI.  In case of the beneficiary’s acceptance, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent will, in close coordination with such Borrower, select the relevant Bilateral FCI Issuing Lenders or Participation FCI Issuing Lenders (the “Joint FCI Issuing Lenders”) prepared to issue the Joint Signature FCI and acceptable to the beneficiary.

 

(ii)                                  The Joint FCI Issuing Lenders so selected will then appoint one of the Joint FCI Issuing Lenders to act as their agent (the “Joint Foreign Trade Facility Agent”) in connection with the Joint Signature FCI acting on terms to be agreed between the Joint FCI Issuing Lenders and the Joint Foreign Trade Facility Agent pursuant to an agreement substantially in the form of Schedule 2.6(m).  The Joint Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall be responsible for coordinating the Joint FCI Issuing Lenders and shall represent the Joint FCI Issuing Lenders vis-à-vis the beneficiary, and the Joint Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall be responsible for processing the Joint Signature FCI.  In such capacity, the Joint Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall give to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent the notices otherwise to be given by each FCI Issuing Lender hereunder, in particular under Sections 2.6(j), 2.6(k)(i), 2.6(p)(vi) and 2.6(s).

 

83

 

(iii)                               Any liability of the Joint FCI Issuing Lenders under a Joint Signature FCI, and the rights resulting from honoring a demand made thereunder, shall be several.  Each Joint FCI Issuing Lender shall be responsible for the proportionate amount demanded by the beneficiary under a Joint Signature FCI in the proportion the amount of the Joint Signature FCI allocated to it bears to the total Dollar Equivalent of such Joint Signature FCI.  The Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall, with respect to the determination of the utilization of the individual Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment or individual Participation FCI Issuing Commitment, as applicable, of each Joint FCI Issuing Lender and with respect to the calculation of any Excess Amount, treat each Joint FCI Issuing Lender in the Joint Signature FCI as if each Joint FCI Issuing Lender had issued an FCI in the amount equal to the amount of its proportionate amount of the Joint Signature FCI.

 

(n)                                 Determination of Dollar Equivalent.  On each Business Day on which any FCI is outstanding under this Agreement, or there is any other FCI Issuing Lender Exposure, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall determine the amount of the Dollar Equivalent of all outstanding FCIs and unreimbursed FCI Disbursements (in each case adjusted to reflect any repayment, prepayment or reversal of any relevant FCI) on the basis of the foreign exchange rates for the previous Business Day which shall be determined as follows:

 

(i)                                     if the conversion rate of the respective currency into Dollars is published on the internet page “www.db-markets.com” (on the sub-page “Markets,” sub-page “FX Rates,” sub-page “DB Fixings” or on any other internet page replacing such internet page), the calculation shall be based on the rates displayed on such internet page; and

 

(ii)                                  if the conversion rate of the respective currency into Dollars is not published on the internet page “www.db-markets.com” (on the sub-page “Markets,” sub-page “FX Rates,” sub-page “DB Fixings” or on any other internet page replacing such internet page), the calculation shall be based on the previous month’s foreign exchange rates published on the same internet page on the sub-page “DB Fixings” under the heading “Overview for Historic Rates” for “End of month prices”.

 

If the relevant exchange rate cannot be determined in accordance with clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall determine the appropriate exchange rate in its reasonable discretion.

 

(o)                                 Cash Cover.

 

(i)                                     If, pursuant to a Daily Report issued on the last Business Day of any calendar month (each a “Rebasing Date”), (A) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the FCI Issuing Lender Exposure of the Bilateral FCI Issuing Lenders exceeds the aggregate amount of the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitments of the Bilateral FCI Issuing Lenders, (B) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the FCI Issuing Lender Exposure of the Participation FCI Issuing Lenders exceeds the aggregate amount of the Participation FCI Issuing Commitments of the Participation FCI Issuing Lenders or the aggregate amount of the Participation FCI Commitments of the Lenders, or (C) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the Participation FCIs and Participation Joint Signature FCIs outstanding plus the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the outstanding unreimbursed FCI Disbursements with respect to Participation FCIs exceeds the amount of the Participation FCI Commitments of the Lenders, in each case, by more than $500,000 (any such exceeding amount being the “Excess Amount”), the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall request in writing from the Parent Borrower, within a period of five Business Days following receipt of the respective Daily Report, Cash Cover with respect to such Excess Amount, and the Parent Borrower shall, within a period of four Business Days following receipt of the demand from the Foreign Trade Facility 

 

84

 

Agent, provide for Cash Cover in accordance with clause (iv) below.  For the avoidance of doubt, this clause (i) shall be applicable even to the extent any such Excess Amount results, in whole or in part, from fluctuation of currency exchange rates.

 

(ii)                                  [Reserved].

 

(iii)                               If in respect of any Rebasing Date subsequent to a Rebasing Date in respect of which Cash Cover had been provided pursuant to clause (i) above to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, the Excess Amount (as shown in the relevant Daily Report) has been reduced to zero (either through fluctuation of currency exchange rates or through the reduction or expiration of any FCIs), the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall release the whole or relevant part of the Cash Cover within three Business Days of the relevant Rebasing Date.

 

(iv)                              If a Borrower is obliged to provide for Cash Cover under this Agreement, such Borrower shall pay the relevant amount for which it shall provide Cash Cover in Dollars or in the Dollar Equivalent of the currency of the respective FCI for which Cash Cover has to be provided to an account with the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, in the name of such Borrower or the Parent Borrower (at the election of the Parent Borrower), to be maintained for the benefit of the Bilateral FCI Issuing Lenders or Participation FCI Issuing Lenders and Lenders with a Participation FCI Commitment, as applicable (such deposited amount, the “Cash Cover”).  Such account shall be an interest bearing account in the name of such Borrower or the Parent Borrower (at the election of the Parent Borrower) and such account shall be pledged to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent on the basis of a pledge agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and such Borrower or the Parent Borrower, as applicable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall be required to deposit cash in support of any obligation of any other Borrower and no collateral or other credit support provided by any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall serve as security for any obligation of any other Borrower.

 

(v)                                 If the term of any FCI extends beyond the Foreign Trade Maturity Date or other termination of this Agreement, including if any obligation of any FCI Issuing Lender with respect to any FCI governed by the laws of the People’s Republic of China or any other Governmental Authority extends beyond the Foreign Trade Maturity Date or other termination of this Agreement, the applicable Borrower shall, on the earlier of the Foreign Trade Maturity Date or the date of such other termination of this Agreement, do one of the following:  (A) cause such FCI to be surrendered for cancellation to the applicable FCI Issuing Lender or (B) provide Cash Cover (or other credit support reasonably satisfactory) to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent in an amount equal to at least 103% of the Dollar Equivalent of the Face Amount of such FCI or (C) provide the applicable FCI Issuing Lender with a back-up letter of credit or other analogous undertaking on reasonably acceptable terms and conditions in an amount at least equal to 103% of the Dollar Equivalent of the Face Amount of such FCI from a financial institution approved by the applicable FCI Issuing Lender or Joint FCI Issuing Lender, if applicable (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld in accordance with such FCI Issuing Lender’s or Joint FCI Issuing Lender’s existing banking practice consistently applied).  Upon notice to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent of the termination, reduction or expiration (without any pending drawing) of such FCI, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall release the whole or relevant part of the Cash Cover (or other credit back-stop) within three Business Days of the relevant date of termination, reduction or expiration, and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall use Cash Cover to promptly reimburse any FCI Issuing Lender honoring any FCI.

 

85

(i)                                     Commitment Fees.  (A) The Parent Borrower agrees to pay (or to cause a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower to pay) to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, for the account of each Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment, a commitment fee (the “Participation FCI Commitment Fee”) which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily unused amount of each Participation FCI Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Funding Date to but excluding the date on which the Participation FCI Commitments terminate.  Accrued Participation FCI Commitment Fees shall be paid quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Participation FCI Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Funding Date.  Participation FCI Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  (B)  The Parent Borrower agrees to pay (or to cause a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower to pay) to each Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender, a commitment fee (the “Bilateral FCI Commitment Fee”) which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate (or such other rate as may be agreed in writing from time to time between the Parent Borrower and the applicable Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender) on the average daily unused amount of the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment of such Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender during the period from and including the Funding Date to but excluding the date on which such Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment terminates.  Accrued Bilateral FCI Commitment Fees shall be paid quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Funding Date.

Accrued Participation FCI Fees shall be paid quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Participation FCI Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Funding Date.  Participation FCI Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

 

(B)                               The Parent Borrower agrees to pay (or to cause a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower to pay) to each Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender, a fee (the “Bilateral FCI Fee”) with respect to its issuance of Bilateral FCIs, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate (or such other rate as may be agreed in writing from time to time between the Parent Borrower and the applicable Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender) on the average daily Face Amount of each such Bilateral FCI issued by such Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender and outstanding (i.e. unexpired and not terminated) during the period from and including the date of issuance of any such Bilateral FCI hereunder and the termination of any such Bilateral Joint Signature FCI; provided that any such Bilateral FCI Fees payable to any Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender in respect of Trade LCs shall be reduced by the amount of any related Bilateral FCI Commitment Fee payable in respect of the Bilateral FCI Issuing 

 

86

 

Commitment of such Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender utilized by the issuance of such Trade LCs.  Accrued Bilateral FCI Fees shall be paid quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment terminates.  Bilateral FCI Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

With respect to each issuance of a Participation FCI requested by a Borrower, such Borrower shall pay, in arrears for each calendar quarter in accordance with clause (vi) below, a fronting fee in the amount of 0.25% per annum on the Dollar Equivalent of such Participation FCI (the “Participation FCI Fronting Fee”).  With respect to any such calculation, clause (i) above shall apply mutatis mutandis.

 

(iv)                              FCI Handling Fee.  Each Borrower shall, with respect to the issuance or amendment of any FCI by an FCI Issuing Lender, pay to such FCI Issuing Lender, quarterly in arrears in accordance with clause (vi) below, a handling fee of $150 with respect to each FCI so issued, and $100 with respect to each FCI so amended, by such FCI Issuing Lender during the previous calendar quarter (the “FCI Handling Fee”).

 

(v)                                 Other Fees and Expenses.  Each Borrower shall, within three Business Days following written demand from an FCI Issuing Lender that has issued an FCI for such Borrower, reimburse such FCI Issuing Lender for all reasonable costs (including internal costs) and expenses (including legal fees) incurred by such Lender and evidenced to such Borrower in connection with the handling of any claims made against such Lender under any FCI issued by it.

 

(vi)                              Payment of Foreign Credit Fees.  Each FCI Issuing Lender shall notify the Foreign Trade Facility Agent in writing about the amount of all FCI Handling Fees payable by any Borrower with respect to each previous calendar quarter not later than on the fifth Business Day of each calendar quarter.  In the case of each FCI Issuing Lender, the notification needs to include only the sum of all such fees payable to such FCI Issuing Lender and the respective amounts owing from each Borrower.  The Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall calculate the Participation FCI Commitment Fee, the Participation FCI Fee and the Participation FCI Fronting Fee payable by the Borrowers with respect to the previous calendar quarter.  The Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall, not later than the seventh Business Day of each calendar quarter, inform the Parent Borrower in writing about the amount of the Participation FCI Commitment Fee, Participation FCI Fee and the Participation FCI Fronting Fee payable with respect to the previous quarter and the aggregate amount of the FCI Handling Fee, as notified to it by the FCI Issuing Lenders pursuant to the first sentence of this clause (vi), and the Parent Borrower shall pay (or shall cause the relevant Borrower to pay) such amounts to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent for distribution to the FCI Issuing Lenders and the applicable Lenders not later than the fifth Business Day following the receipt by the Parent Borrower of the notification from the Foreign Trade Facility Agent.

87

 

Amount of all such FCIs.  Section 2.6(o)(v) shall apply mutatis mutandis; provided that for purposes of the foregoing clause (B), if any Event of Default shall have occurred and any determination needs to be made by the majority of Lenders under the Foreign Trade Facility under Article VII whether or not to require Cash Cover or other credit support, any Lender shall be excluded for purposes of making a determination of such majority Lenders if such Lender notifies the Foreign Trade Facility Agent that in the good faith judgment of such Lender failing to so exclude such amounts for such Lender would or might violate the German Foreign Trade Act (Außenwirtschaftsgesetz) or EU Regulation (EC) 2271/96.

 

(q)                                 Cancellation.

 

(i)                                     The Parent Borrower may, by giving to the Administrative Agent, with a copy to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, not less than 3 Business Days’ prior written notice, cancel the whole or any part (being a minimum of $10,000,000) of the then unused Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitments, Participation FCI Issuing Commitments and/or the Participation FCI Commitments without premium or penalty (it being understood and agreed that any cancellation of the Participation FCI Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.6(q) shall be done on a pro rata basis but a cancellation of a Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment or a Participation FCI Issuing Commitment need not be done on a pro rata basis).

The remaining amount of such FCI Issuing Lender’s Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment and/or Participation FCI Issuing Commitment, as applicable, shall be cancelled automatically in whole, or, as the case may be, in part with the receipt by the Foreign Trade Facility Agent of the Utilization Reduction Notice(s) with respect to the Bilateral FCIs or Participation FCIs, as applicable, issued by such FCI Issuing Lender and still outstanding.

 

(iii)                               Any notice of cancellation given by the Parent Borrower pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above shall be irrevocable and shall specify the date upon which such cancellation is to be made and the amount of such cancellation; provided, however, that any such notice of cancellation delivered by the Parent Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness or closing of other credit facilities, debt financings or Dispositions, in which case such notice may be revoked or the date specified therein extended by the Parent Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

 

(iv)                              Cancelled Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitments, Participation FCI Issuing Commitments, and Participation FCI Commitments cannot be reinstated.

Upon notice to the Administrative Agent and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders with Participation FCI Commitments with respect to any addition of a Participation FCI Issuing Lender), the Parent Borrower may designate additional FCI Issuing Lenders to (i) provide additional Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitments hereunder and/or designate existing Bilateral FCI Issuing Lenders to provide an increase to its existing Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment hereunder and/or (ii) provide additional Participation FCI Issuing Commitments hereunder and/or designate existing Participation FCI Issuing Lenders to provide an increase to its existing Participation FCI Issuing Commitment hereunder.  No Person shall have any obligation hereunder to become such an additional FCI Issuing Lender or to provide any such additional or increased Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment or Participation FCI Issuing Commitment.  The FCI Issuing Lender or other Person that in its sole discretion agrees to provide any such increased or 

 

89

 

additional Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment and/or Participation FCI Issuing Commitment shall enter into an FCI Issuing Lender Joinder Agreement with completions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and the Parent Borrower.  No such designation shall be made to (i) the Parent Borrower or the Parent Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (ii) a natural person.  Upon consummation of any such FCI Issuing Lender Joinder Agreement, Schedule 1.1A shall be deemed revised to reflect the applicable Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment and/or Participation FCI Issuing Commitment added pursuant to such FCI Issuing Lender Joinder Agreement.  If all the conditions precedent to issuance of a new FCI are satisfied, then in lieu of issuing a new FCI, such additional Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender or Participation FCI Issuing Lender may, at the written request of the Parent Borrower or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and with the written consent of the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, roll into the Bilateral Foreign Trade Facility or the Foreign Trade Facility, as applicable, an outstanding undertaking that meets all of the requirements to be an FCI hereunder, in which case such undertaking shall thereafter be treated as if it were issued hereunder, and such Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender or Participation FCI Issuing Lender, as applicable, shall be deemed to represent and warrant that each such FCI that is rolled into the Bilateral Foreign Trade Facility or the Foreign Trade Facility, as applicable, complies with Section 2.6(c), Section 2.6(d), Section 2.6(e) and Section 2.6(f), as applicable.

 

(u)                                 Transfer of FCIs.  If the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment is increased pursuant to Section 2.1(b), the Parent Borrower shall have the option of transferring existing Participation FCIs from the Participation FCI Issuing Commitment of an FCI Issuing Lender to the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment of the same FCI Issuing Lender; provided that after giving effect to any such transfer, (i) the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Bilateral FCIs under the Bilateral Foreign Trade Facility (plus any unreimbursed FCI Disbursements of Bilateral FCIs) does not exceed the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment and (ii) the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Bilateral FCIs under the Bilateral Foreign Trade Facility (plus any unreimbursed FCI Disbursements of Bilateral FCIs) of each Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender shall not exceed its Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment.  The Parent Borrower may also transfer existing Bilateral FCIs from the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment of an FCI Issuing Lender to the Participation FCI Issuing Commitment of the same FCI Issuing Lender; provided that after giving effect to any such transfer, (i) the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Participation FCIs under the Foreign Trade Facility (plus any unreimbursed FCI Disbursements of Participation FCIs) shall not exceed (A) the aggregate Participation FCI Issuing Commitments or (B) the aggregate Participation FCI Commitments, and (ii) the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Participation FCIs under the Foreign Trade Facility of any FCI Issuing Lender shall not exceed the Participation FCI Issuing Commitment of such FCI Issuing Lender.  Any transfer described in either of the preceding two sentences shall be subject to notice to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and the participations provided for in Section 2.6(i) shall be automatically adjusted to reflect such transfer.  Additionally, any transfer of any Participation FCI from a Participation FCI Issuing Commitment to a Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment shall be subject to the consent of the Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender that issued such FCI.

 

Section 2.7                                   Funding of Borrowings.

 

(a)                                 Each Lender shall make each Loan (other than any Incremental Term Loan) to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders, in immediately available funds, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, in the case of any Loan denominated in Dollars and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of any Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.4.  The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the relevant Borrower by wiring the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account designated by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that (i) ABR

 

90

 

Domestic Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of a Financial LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.5(e)(i) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Lender and (ii) ABR Global Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of a Non-Financial LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.5(e)(i) shall be remitted by the Foreign Trade Facility Agent to the applicable Issuing Lender.  Any funding of Incremental Term Loans shall be made pursuant to such procedures as shall be agreed to by the Parent Borrower, the relevant Incremental Term Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

 

(b)                                 Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount in the required currency.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and such Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon in such currency, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds in the relevant currency (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) or (ii) in the case of a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing.  If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

 

Section 2.8                                   Interest Elections.

 

(a)                                 Each Revolving Borrowing, Term Loan A Borrowing and Incremental Term Loan Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request.  Thereafter, a Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section.  A Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Borrower may not (i) elect to convert the currency in which any Loans are denominated, (ii) elect to convert Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies from Eurocurrency Loans to ABR Loans, (iii) elect an Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans that does not comply with Section 2.2(d), (iv) elect to convert any ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans that would result in the number of Eurocurrency Borrowings exceeding the maximum number of Eurocurrency Borrowings permitted under Section 2.2(c), (v) elect an Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans unless the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Eurocurrency Loans (including any Eurocurrency Loans made to such Borrower in the same currency on the date that such Interest Period is to begin) to which such Interest Period will apply complies with the requirements as to minimum principal amount set forth in Section 2.2(c) or (vi) elect to convert or continue any Swingline Borrowings.

 

(b)                                 To make an election pursuant to this Section, a Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.3 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of Domestic Revolving Loans or Global Revolving Loans of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election.  Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed 

 

91

 

promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the relevant Borrower.

 

(c)                                  Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.3 and paragraph (a) of this Section:  (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies; (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election.  If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the relevant Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

 

(d)                                 Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each relevant Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

 

(e)                                  If the relevant Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing.  If the relevant Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in any Alternative Currency prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall automatically continue as a Eurocurrency Loan having an Interest Period of one month.  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 Parent Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing denominated in Dollars may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (iii) no Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency having an Interest Period in excess of one month may be made or continued.

 

Section 2.9                                   Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

 

(a)                                 (i) All Commitments shall terminate on December 31, 2015 unless the Funding Date has occurred by such date; and (ii) if not terminated pursuant to the foregoing clause (a)(i), (A) the Domestic Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Domestic Revolving Maturity Date, (B) the Global Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Global Revolving Maturity Date, (C) the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitments, the Participation FCI Issuing Commitments and the Participation FCI Commitments shall terminate on the Foreign Trade Maturity Date and (D) the Term Loan A Commitments shall terminate on the Funding Date.

 

(b)                                 The Parent Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments (other than Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitments or Participation FCI Issuing Commitments) of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000, (ii) the Parent Borrower shall not terminate or reduce (A) the Domestic Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Domestic Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.12, the Domestic Revolving Exposure would exceed the total Domestic Revolving Commitments, (B) the Global Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Global Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.12, the Global Revolving Exposure would exceed the total Global Revolving 

 

92

 

Commitments, (C) the Participation FCI Issuing Commitments or the Participation FCI Commitments if the Total Foreign Trade Exposure with respect to the Participation FCIs would exceed (1) the total Participation FCI Issuing Commitments or (2) the total Participation FCI Commitments or (D) the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitments if the Total Foreign Trade Exposure with respect to the Bilateral FCIs would exceed the total Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitments and (iii) each reduction of Participation FCI Issuing Commitments, Participation FCI Commitments or Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitments shall be made in accordance with Section 2.6(q).

 

(c)                                  The Parent Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section, at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof.  Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each notice delivered by the Parent Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Parent Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness or closing of other credit facilities, debt financings or Dispositions, in which case such notice may be revoked or the date specified therein extended by the Parent Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent.  Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

 

Section 2.10                            Evidence of Debt.

 

(a)                                 Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made, and each FCI issued, by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

 

(b)                                 The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 9.4(c) and a subaccount for each Lender in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder (whether or not evidenced by a promissory note), the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal and/or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.  The Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall maintain records in which it shall record all relevant details about each FCI issued hereunder and, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall make such records (or copies thereof) available to the Administrative Agent.

 

(c)                                  The entries made in the Register maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(d)                                 Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a promissory note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records.  Each such promissory note shall (i) in the case of Domestic Revolving Loans, be in the form of Exhibit I (a “Domestic Revolving Note”), (ii) in the case of Global Revolving Loans, be in the form of Exhibit J (a “Global Revolving Note”), (iii) in the case of the Term Loan A, be in the form of Exhibit K (a “Term A Note”), 

 

93

 

(iv) in the case of Swingline Loans, be in the form of Exhibit L (a “Swingline Note”) and (v) in the case of Incremental Term Loans, be in the form of Exhibit M (an “Incremental Term Note”).  Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount, currency and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

 

Section 2.11                            Repayment of Loans.

 

(a)                                 The Parent Borrower shall repay any Incremental Term Loans in consecutive installments (which shall be no more frequent than quarterly) as specified in the applicable Incremental Facility Activation Notice pursuant to which such Incremental Term Loans were made.

 

(b)                                 The Parent Borrower shall repay (i) the then unpaid principal amount of the Domestic Revolving Loans on the Domestic Revolving Maturity Date and (ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Domestic Revolving Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the last Business Day of a calendar month and is at least two Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Borrowing of Domestic Revolving Loans is made, the Parent Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

 

(c)                                  Each Borrower shall repay the then unpaid principal amount of the Global Revolving Loans applicable to such Borrower on the Global Revolving Maturity Date.

 

(d)                                 The Parent Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan A in equal quarterly installments, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2016, equal to 1.25% of the outstanding amount of the Term Loan A as of the Funding Date (as such installments may hereafter be adjusted as a result of prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.12) with the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan A due in full on the Term Loan A Maturity Date, unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Article VII.

 

Section 2.12                            Prepayment of Loans.

 

(a)                                 Each Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Notice of Loan Prepayment, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty subject to Section 2.18; provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, (A) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time (1) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans and (2) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (B) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans shall be in a principal amount of $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.  Each such notice shall specify the date, the currency and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurocurrency Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage in respect of the relevant Facility).  If such notice is given by a Borrower, such Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.  Any prepayment of principal shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.18. Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12(a) shall be applied to the principal repayment installments thereof as directed by the Parent Borrower.  Subject to Section 2.24, such prepayments shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of each of the relevant Facilities.

 

94

 

(b)                                 The Parent Borrower may, upon notice to the Swingline Lender pursuant to delivery to the Swingline Lender of a Notice of Loan Prepayment (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swingline Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the Swingline Lender, (A) such notice must be received by the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess hereof (or, if less, the entire principal thereof then outstanding).  Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment.  If such notice is given by the Parent Borrower, the Parent Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.  Any prepayment of principal shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.18.

 

(c)                                  If on any date any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Parent Borrower shall, within ten Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, apply an amount equal to the aggregate amount of such Net Proceeds, first, to prepay the Term Loans in the manner and the order as directed in writing by the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent, and second, (after the Term Loans have been paid in full) to the Domestic Revolving Loans and/or the Global Revolving Loans as directed in writing by the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent (without a corresponding permanent reduction in the aggregate Domestic Revolving Commitments or the aggregate Global Revolving Commitments); provided that, in the case of any event described in clause (a) or (b) of the definition of the term Prepayment Event, if the Parent Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect that the Parent Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries intend to apply the Net Proceeds from such event (“Reinvestment Net Proceeds”) within 360 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds, to make Permitted Acquisitions or Investments permitted by Section 6.5 or acquire real property, equipment or other assets to be used in the business of the Parent Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, and certifying that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of such event except to the extent of any Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so applied by the end of such 360-day period (or, with respect to Net Proceeds which are committed to be reinvested within such 360-day period, except to the extent of any such Net Proceeds that have not been actually reinvested within 180 days after the end of such 360-day period), at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to the Net Proceeds that have not been so applied.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the date during any fiscal year of the Parent Borrower on which the aggregate gross proceeds (inclusive of amounts of the type described in the first parenthetical of Section 6.6(e)) from Dispositions pursuant to Section 6.6(e) received during such fiscal year exceed the aggregate amount for such fiscal year specified in clause (i) of the proviso in Section 6.6(e), the Net Proceeds from each subsequent Prepayment Event occurring during such fiscal year resulting from Dispositions pursuant to Section 6.6(e) (and a ratable amount of Net Proceeds from any Prepayment Event that first causes the aforementioned threshold to be exceeded, which ratable amount shall be determined by reference to a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the portion of the gross proceeds from such Prepayment Event representing the excess above such threshold and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate gross proceeds from such Prepayment Event) may not be treated as Reinvestment Net Proceeds.

 

(d)                                 If on any Determination Date relating to the Global Revolving Facility, the Total Global Exposure exceeds the total Global Revolving Commitments by more than $500,000, the Parent Borrower shall, upon notice by the Administrative Agent, within three Business Days after such Determination Date, prepay (or cause the relevant Foreign Subsidiary Borrower to prepay) the Borrowings of Global Revolving Loans (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Foreign Trade Facility Agent pursuant to Section 2.5(j)(ii)) in an aggregate amount such that, after giving 

 

95

 

effect thereto, the Total Global Exposure does not exceed the total Global Revolving Commitments.  If on any Determination Date relating to the Domestic Revolving Facility, the Total Domestic Exposure exceeds the total Domestic Revolving Commitments, the Parent Borrower shall, without notice or demand, within three Business Days after such Determination Date, prepay (or cause the relevant Foreign Subsidiary Borrower to prepay) the Borrowings of Domestic Revolving Loans or Swingline Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.5(j)(i)) in an aggregate amount such that, after giving effect thereto, the Total Domestic Exposure does not exceed the total Domestic Revolving Commitments.

 

(e)                                  A Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy promptly thereafter) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time (or 11:00 a.m., London time, as applicable), three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, if a notice of optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Domestic Revolving Commitments or the Global Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.9, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked (or the date specified therein extended) if such notice of termination is revoked (or the date specified therein extended) in accordance with Section 2.9.  Promptly following receipt of any such notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.2, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment.

 

Section 2.13                            Certain Payment Application Matters.

 

(a)                                 Each repayment or prepayment of a Borrowing by any Borrower shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing of such Borrower.  It is understood that, in the case of Global Revolving Loans, the relevant Borrower may select the particular currency of Loans to be prepaid, and such prepayment shall then be applied ratably to such Loans.  Repayments and prepayments of Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid.

 

(b)                                 Each mandatory prepayment of any Term Loans shall be applied among the Classes of the Term Loans as directed in writing by the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent and to the installments thereof in each case in the order as directed in writing by the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent.  Any optional prepayment of any Term Loans shall be applied to the installments of the applicable Term Loans in each case in the order as directed in writing by the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent.

 

Section 2.14                            Fees.

 

(a)                                 The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each relevant Lender (i) a commitment fee (the “Domestic Revolving Commitment Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the actual daily unused amount of the Domestic Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Funding Date to but excluding the Domestic Revolving Maturity Date and (ii) a commitment fee (the “Global Revolving Commitment Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the actual daily unused amount of the Global Revolving

Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Funding Date to but excluding the Global Revolving Maturity Date.  Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the Domestic Revolving Maturity Date and the Global Revolving Maturity Date, as applicable, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Funding Date.  Domestic Revolving Commitment Fees and Global Revolving Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  For purposes of computing commitment fees (x) in respect of the Domestic Revolving Commitments, the Domestic Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Domestic Revolving Loans and Financial LC Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose) and (y) in respect of the Global Revolving Commitments, the Global Revolving Commitments of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Global Revolving Loans and Non-Financial LC Exposure of such Lender.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Participation FCI Commitment Fee is set forth in Section 2.6(p)(i).

 

(b)                                 Each Borrower agrees to pay:

 

(i)                                     to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Domestic Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Financial Letters of Credit (“Financial Letter of Credit Fees”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the actual daily amount of such Lender’s Financial LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed Financial LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Funding Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Domestic Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Financial LC Exposure; provided, however, any Financial Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Financial Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided cash collateral satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.5(j)(i) shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws, to the other Lenders with a Domestic Revolving Commitment in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Financial Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.24(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account;

 

(ii)                                  to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent for the account of each Global Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Non-Financial Letters of Credit (“Non-Financial Letter of Credit Fees”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the actual daily amount of such Lender’s Non-Financial LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed Non-Financial LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Funding Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Global Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Non-Financial LC Exposure; provided, however, any Non-Financial Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Non-Financial Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided cash collateral satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.5(j)(ii) shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws, to the other Lenders with a Global Revolving Commitment in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Non-Financial Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.24(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account;

 

(iii)                               to the applicable Issuing Lender a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of (A) with respect to Financial Letters of Credit, 0.125% per annum on the actual daily amount of 

 

97

 

the Financial LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed Financial LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Funding Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Domestic Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any Financial LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Lender’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Financial Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder, and (B) with respect to Non-Financial Letters of Credit, 0.250% per annum on the actual daily amount of the Non-Financial LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed Non-Financial LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Funding Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Global Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any Non-Financial LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Lender’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension of any Non-Financial Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder; and

 

(iv)                              to the applicable FCI Issuing Lender and the other Lenders, the fees set forth in Section 2.6(p).

 

Participation fees and fronting fees pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Funding Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Domestic Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Domestic Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.6(p), any other fees payable to the applicable Issuing Lender or FCI Issuing Lender pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand.  All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  For the purposes of calculating the actual daily amount of the Financial LC Exposure or Non-Financial LC Exposure for any period under this Section 2.14(b), the actual daily amount of the Alternative Currency Financial LC Exposure or Alternative Currency Non-Financial LC Exposure for such period shall be calculated by multiplying (x) the actual daily balance of each Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (expressed in the currency in which such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit is denominated) by (y) the Exchange Rate for each such Alternative Currency in effect on the last Business Day of such period or by such other reasonable method that the Administrative Agent deems appropriate.

 

(c)                                  The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and MLPFS, for their own respective accounts, fees payable in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter.

 

(d)                                 The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter.

 

(e)                                  The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times specified in the Deutsche Bank Fee Letter.

 

(f)                                   All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Lender, applicable FCI Issuing Lender or the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.6(p), fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

 

(g)                                  The Parent Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a ticking fee (the “Ticking Fee”) equal to (i) 0.30% per annum (calculated on the basis of actual 

 

98

 

number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days) multiplied by (ii) the aggregate amount of the Commitments of such Lender.  The Ticking Fee shall accrue from and including (x) the date that is ninety-one (91) days after the Effective Date until (y) the earlier to occur of (i) the Funding Date and (ii) the date the Commitments are terminated pursuant to Section 2.9(a)(i).

 

Section 2.15                            Interest.

 

(a)                                 ABR Loans shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

 

(b)                                 Eurocurrency Loans shall bear interest at the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest (or premium, if any) on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by any Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount (except as specified in Section 2.6(h)(ii)), 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section (or, in the case of amounts denominated in any Alternative Currency under the Global Revolving Facility, the rate that would apply to Loans in such currency pursuant to clause (i) above), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

 

(d)                                 Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Domestic Revolving Commitments or the Global Revolving Commitments, and in the case of the Term Loans, upon the Term Loan A Maturity Date or the Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Domestic Revolving Availability Period or Global Revolving Availability Period, as applicable), accrued interest (and premium, if any) 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 Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

 

(e)                                  All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice, 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 Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(f)                                   If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Parent Borrower or for any other reason, the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Parent Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Parent Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the 

 

99

 

applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Parent Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by any Person), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period.  This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lenders, as the case may be, under Section 2.5(c), 2.14(b) or 2.15(c) or under Article VII.  The Parent Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Commitments of all of the Lenders and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

 

(g)                                  Interest Act (Canada). For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever a rate of interest or fee rate hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

 

Section 2.16                            Alternate Rate of Interest.

 

If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:

 

(a)                                 the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period;

 

(b)                                 the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; or

 

(c)                                  the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing and in the currency in which such Loans are to be denominated are not generally available in the relevant market;

 

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Parent Borrower and the relevant Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent Borrower and the relevant Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (which notice shall be promptly given by the Administrative Agent when such circumstances no longer exist), then, in the case of the relevant Facility, any request by a Borrower for a Eurocurrency Borrowing of the affected Type or in the affected currency, or a conversion to or continuation of a Eurocurrency Borrowing of the affected Type or in the affected currency, pursuant to Section 2.3 or 2.8, shall be deemed rescinded; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.

 

Section 2.17                            Increased Costs.

 

(a)                                 If any Change in Law shall:

 

100

 

(i)                                     impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate);

 

(ii)                                  subject any Lender or an Agent to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes or (C) Taxes imposed as a penalty for a Lender’s failure to comply with non-U.S. legislation implementing FATCA) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

 

(iii)                               impose on any Lender, Issuing Lender or FCI Issuing Lender or the London (or other relevant) interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit, FCI or participation therein;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the net cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, Issuing Lender or FCI Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or FCI or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, Issuing Lender or FCI Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest, premium or otherwise), then each relevant Borrower will pay to such Lender, Issuing Lender or FCI Issuing Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuing Lender or FCI Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs actually incurred or reduction suffered; provided that such Lender shall only be entitled to seek such additional amounts if such Lender is generally seeking the payment of similar additional amounts from similarly situated borrowers in comparable credit facilities.

 

(b)                                 If any Lender, Issuing Lender or FCI Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Person’s capital or on the capital of such Person’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or FCIs held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, or the FCIs issued by such FCI Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender, Issuing Lender or FCI Issuing Lender or such Lender’s, Issuing Lender’s or FCI Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Person’s policies and the policies of such Person’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the relevant Borrower will pay to such Lender, Issuing Lender or FCI Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Person or such Person’s holding company for any such reduction actually suffered; provided that such Lender shall only be entitled to seek such additional amounts if such Lender is generally seeking the payment of similar additional amounts from similarly situated borrowers in comparable credit facilities.

 

(c)                                  If any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any FCI Issuing Lender incurs any Mandatory Costs attributable to the Obligations, then from time to time the Parent Borrower will pay (or cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower to pay) to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such Mandatory Costs.  Such amount shall be expressed as a percentage rate per annum and shall be payable on the full amount of the applicable Obligations.

 

(d)                                 A certificate of a Lender, Issuing Lender or FCI Issuing Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and computation of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Person or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section shall be delivered to the relevant Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Such Borrower shall pay such Lender, Issuing Lender or FCI Issuing Lender the amount shown as due on any such 

 

101

 

certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.  All amounts payable by any Borrower pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be deemed to constitute interest expense in respect of the Loans.

 

(e)                                  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender, Issuing Lender or FCI Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Person’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender, Issuing Lender or FCI Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Person notifies such Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Person’s intention to claim compensation therefor;

 

provided that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

 

Section 2.18                            Break Funding Payments.

 

In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Domestic Revolving Loan, Global Revolving Loan, Term Loan A, or any Incremental Term Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.12(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Parent Borrower pursuant to Section 2.21 or (e) any failure by the Parent Borrower or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower to make payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency, then, in any such event, the relevant Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense actually incurred that is attributable to such event.  In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the relevant currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the relevant market.  A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and computation of any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the relevant Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and shall be so delivered as promptly as reasonably practicable after such Lender obtains actual knowledge of such amount.

 

Section 2.19                            Taxes.

 

(a)                                 Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes; provided that if a Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the relevant Agent or the relevant Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

102

 

(b)                                 In addition, each Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and indemnify the Lender from and against any Other Taxes and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto.

 

(c)                                  Each Borrower shall indemnify each Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by such Agent or such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such recipient (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and computation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to a Borrower by a Lender, or by an Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and shall be so delivered as promptly as reasonably practicable after such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, obtains actual knowledge of such amount.

 

(d)                                 As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Borrower to a Governmental Authority, such Borrower shall deliver to the relevant 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 such Agent.

 

(e)                                  Each Agent and each Lender that is not a United States person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Recipient”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Parent Borrower and each Agent, on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement either:

 

(A)                               two duly completed and signed original copies of either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (including Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable) or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (relating to such Non-U.S. Recipient and entitling it to a complete exemption from or reduction of withholding of United States federal income taxes on all amounts to be received by such Non-U.S. Recipient pursuant to this Agreement and the other credit documents), or successor and related applicable forms, as the case may be (including, where applicable any such forms required to be provided to certify to such exemption on behalf of such Non-U.S. Recipient’s beneficial owners); or

 

(B)                               in the case of a Non-U.S. Recipient claiming the benefit of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a statement in the form of Exhibit C (and any similar statements required to certify to the exemption of its beneficial owners) or such other form of statement as shall be reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower from time to time to the effect that such Non-U.S. Recipient (and, where applicable, its beneficial owners) is eligible for a complete exemption from withholding of United States federal income taxes under Code Section 871(h) or 881(c), and (y) two duly completed and signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or W-8BEN-E) or successor and related applicable forms (including, where applicable, copies of such forms with respect to such entity’s beneficial owners).

 

Further, each Non-U.S. Recipient agrees (i) to deliver to the Parent Borrower and each Agent, and if applicable, the assigning Lender two further duly completed and signed original copies of such Forms W-8BEN (or W-8BEN-E) or W-8ECI, as the case may be (and, where applicable, any such forms on behalf of its beneficial owners) or successor and related applicable forms, on or before the date that any such form expires 

 

103

 

or becomes obsolete and promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change from the most recent form(s) previously delivered by it to the Parent Borrower in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations, (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Recipient that delivers a statement in the form of Exhibit C (or such other form of statement as shall have been requested by the Parent Borrower), to deliver to the Parent Borrower and each Agent, and if applicable, the assigning Lender, such statement (and where applicable, any such statements from its beneficial owners) on the two year anniversary of the date on which such Non-U.S. Recipient became a party to this Agreement and to deliver promptly to the Parent Borrower and each Agent, such additional statements and forms as shall be reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or such Agent from time to time, and (iii) to notify promptly the Parent Borrower and each Agent if it (or, as applicable, its beneficial owners) is no longer able to deliver, or if it is required to withdraw or cancel, any form of statement previously delivered by it pursuant to this Section 2.19(e).  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Non-U.S. Recipient shall be required to provide any forms, certification or documentation which it is not legally entitled or able to deliver.

 

(f)                                   Each Agent that is a United States person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code and each Lender which is not a Non-U.S. Recipient shall deliver to Parent Borrower and each Agent (and if applicable the assigning or participating Lender) two duly completed and signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) certifying that such party is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.  Each Agent and each such Lender shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and each Agent two further duly completed and signed forms (or successor form) at or before the time any such form becomes obsolete.

 

(g)                                  [Reserved].

 

(h)                                 If any Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund in respect of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by a Borrower, it shall promptly pay such refund, together with any other amounts paid by such Borrower in connection with such refunded Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, to such Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in obtaining such refund; provided, however, that each Borrower agrees to promptly return such refund to the applicable Agent or the applicable Lender as the case may be, if it receives notice from the applicable Agent or applicable Lender that such Agent or Lender is required to repay such refund.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information that it deems confidential) to the applicable Borrower or any Person.

 

(i)                                     If any Agent or any Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction in the rate of the imposition, deduction or withholding of any Indemnified Tax or Other Tax under the laws of the jurisdiction in which a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower is organized or engaged in business, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then such Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) shall deliver to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or the relevant Governmental Authority, in the manner and at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or as reasonably requested by the Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without the imposition, deduction or withholding of such Indemnified Tax or Other Tax or at a reduced rate; provided that such Agent or such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in its reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice its commercial or legal position or require disclosure of information it considers confidential or proprietary.  The Parent Borrower or such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such 

 

104

 

actions as are requested by any Agent or any Lender to obtain the benefits of any exemption from or reduction in the rate of any Indemnified Tax, Other Tax or Excluded Tax.

 

(j)                                    If a payment made to a Lender or an Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA, such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and each Agent at such time or times reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or an 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 a Borrower or an Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and such Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such Agent and such Lender have complied with such Agent’s and such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this paragraph, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date.

 

Section 2.20                            Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

 

(a)                                 Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, premium, fees, reimbursement of LC Disbursements or FCI Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19, or to provide Cash Cover, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 12:00 noon, local time), on the date when due, in same day funds, without set-off or counterclaim.  Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.  All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof.  If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable to but excluding such Business Day.  Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, each such payment (other than (i) principal of and interest on Loans and LC Disbursements denominated in an Alternative Currency, which shall be made in the applicable Alternative Currency, except as otherwise specified in Section 2.5(e) and (ii) payments in respect of the FCIs and FCI Disbursements thereunder, which shall be made in the currency applicable to such FCI) shall be made in Dollars.

 

(b)                                 If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent or the Foreign Trade Facility Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements and FCI Disbursements, interest, premium, fees and Cash Cover then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements and FCI Disbursements then due hereunder, and any premium or Cash Cover then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements and FCI Disbursements, and any premium or Cash Cover, then due to such parties.

 

(c)                                  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest (or premium, if any) on any of its Domestic Revolving Loans, Global Revolving Loans, portion of the Term Loan A, Incremental Term Loans, participations in LC Disbursements, participations in Swingline Loans or participations in Participation FCI Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate 

 

105

 

amount of its Domestic Revolving Loans, Global Revolving Loans, portion of the Term Loan A, Incremental Term Loans, participations in LC Disbursements, participations in Swingline Loans and participations in FCI Disbursements and accrued interest (and premium, if any) thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Domestic Revolving Loans, the Global Revolving Loans, the Term Loan A, any Incremental Term Loans, participations in LC Disbursements, participations in Swingline Loans and participations in FCI Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest (and premium, if any) on their respective Domestic Revolving Loans, Global Revolving Loans, portion of the Term Loan A, Incremental Term Loans, participations in LC Disbursements, participations in Swingline Loans and participations in FCI Disbursements; 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) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans, participations in LC Disbursements or participations in FCI Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).  Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

 

(d)                                 Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the relevant Lenders the amount due.  In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each relevant Lender severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith 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 to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds in the relevant currency (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error).

 

(e)                                  If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Lender, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

 

Section 2.21                            Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

 

(a)                                 If any Lender or the Foreign Trade Facility Agent requests compensation under Section 2.17, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or the Foreign Trade Facility Agent or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the Foreign Trade Facility Agent pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in the case of a Lender, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or, in the case of a Lender or the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, such party will use reasonable efforts to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or 

 

106

 

the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, as applicable, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.19, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender or the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, as applicable, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the Foreign Trade Facility Agent.  Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the Foreign Trade Facility Agent in connection with any such designation or assignment.

 

(b)                                 If (i) any Lender (other than an FCI Issuing Lender) or the Foreign Trade Facility Agent requests compensation under Section 2.17, (ii) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or the Foreign Trade Facility Agent or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the Foreign Trade Facility Agent pursuant to Section 2.19, (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (iv) any Lender becomes a “Non-Consenting Lender” (as defined below), or (v) any Lender is a non-extending Lender pursuant to Section 2.1(c), Section 2.1(d) or Section 2.6(b), then the Parent Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender (other than an FCI Issuing Lender in the case of applicability of clause (i) above) or the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender (other than an FCI Issuing Lender in the case of applicability of clause (i) above) or the Foreign Trade Facility Agent (in the case of clause (i) or (ii) above as such clauses relate to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent) to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.4), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee, in the case of a Lender, may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) the Parent Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent in the case of an assignment of a Participation FCI Commitment, (B) such Lender or the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, as applicable, shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, participations in Participation FCI Disbursements, participations in LC Disbursements and participations Swingline Loans, accrued interest (and premium, if any) thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or such Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (C) in the event of a replacement of a Non-Consenting Lender, in order for the Parent Borrower to be entitled to replace such a Lender, such replacement must take place no later than 120 days after the date the Non-Consenting Lender shall have notified the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its failure to agree to any requested consent, waiver or amendment.  Neither a Lender nor the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling a Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.  In the event that (x) the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested the Lenders to consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or to agree to any amendment thereto (including extensions of any maturity date) or to approve a request that Eurocurrency Loans be made, or Letters of Credit and FCIs be issued, in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency”, (y) the consent, waiver, amendment or request in question requires the agreement of all Lenders (or of a particular affected Lender) in accordance with the terms of Section 1.9(a), Section 2.6(b) or Section 9.2 and (z) if required, the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender”.

 

Section 2.22                            Change in Law.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the Effective Date, (a) any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, or any Global Revolving Lender to make Global Revolving Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, or any FCI Issuing Lender to issue any FCIs, (b) there shall have occurred any 

 

107

 

change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions (including the imposition of or any change in exchange controls) or currency exchange rates that would make it impracticable for any Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit denominated in such Alternative Currency for the account of a Borrower, or any Global Revolving Lender to make Global Revolving Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, or any FCI Issuing Lender to issue any FCIs, then by prompt written notice thereof to the Parent Borrower and to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), (i) such Issuing Lender may declare that Letters of Credit will not thereafter be issued by it in the affected Alternative Currency or Alternative Currencies, whereupon the affected Alternative Currency or Alternative Currencies shall be deemed (for the duration of such declaration) not to constitute an Alternative Currency for purposes of the issuance of Letters of Credit by such Issuing Lender, (ii) such Global Revolving Lender may declare that Global Revolving Loans will not thereafter be made by it in the affected Alternative Currency or Alternative Currencies, whereupon the affected Alternative Currency or Alternative Currencies shall be deemed (for the duration of such declaration) not to constitute an Alternative Currency for purposes of the making of Global Revolving Loans by such Global Revolving Lender, and (iii) such FCI Issuing Lender may declare that such affected FCIs will not thereafter be issued by it and the commitment of such FCI Issuing Lender to issue such affected FCIs shall forthwith be cancelled (for the duration of such declaration), or (c) any Law shall make it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency), or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank market, then by prompt written notice thereof to the Parent Borrower and to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans in Dollars, to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans, shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining ABR Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice specified in the foregoing clause (c), (x) the Parent Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in (i) Dollars, convert (which prepayment or conversion shall be accompanied by the payment of all accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted) all Eurocurrency Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate), or (ii) an Alternative Currency, convert (which prepayment or conversion shall be accompanied by the payment of all accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted) all Eurocurrency Loans of such Lender to Alternate Rate Loans, in each case, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurocurrency 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 Eurocurrency Rate.

 

108

 

Section 2.23                            Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers.

 

(a)                                 Subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Global Revolving Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Parent Borrower may designate any Foreign Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower as a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under the Global Revolving Facility by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement executed by such Foreign Subsidiary, the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent and upon such delivery such Foreign Subsidiary shall for all purposes of this Agreement be a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under the Global Revolving Facility and a party to this Agreement until the Parent Borrower shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination with respect to such Foreign Subsidiary, whereupon such Foreign Subsidiary shall cease to be a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under the Global Revolving Facility.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, no such Borrowing Subsidiary Termination will become effective as to any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under the Global Revolving Facility at a time when any Obligations of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall be outstanding thereunder or any Letters of Credit issued for the account of Such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall be outstanding (which shall not have been cash collateralized in a manner consistent with the terms of Section 2.5(j)); provided that such Borrowing Subsidiary Termination shall be effective to terminate such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower’s right to make further borrowings under the Global Revolving Facility.  The Global Revolving Lenders agree that each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower identified in Part A of Schedule 2.23 is an acceptable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under the Global Revolving Facility.

 

(b)                                 (i) Subject to the consent of the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Participation FCI Issuing Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and all of the Lenders with a Participation FCI Commitment (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Parent Borrower may designate any Foreign Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower as a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under the Foreign Trade Facility by delivery to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement executed by such Foreign Subsidiary, the Parent Borrower, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and the Administrative Agent and upon such delivery such Foreign Subsidiary shall for all purposes of this Agreement be a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under the Foreign Trade Facility and a party to this Agreement until the Parent Borrower shall have executed and delivered to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination with respect to such Foreign Subsidiary, whereupon such Foreign Subsidiary shall cease to be a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under the Foreign Trade Facility.

 

(ii)                                  Subject to the consent of the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Bilateral FCI Issuing Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Parent Borrower may designate any Foreign Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower as a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under the Bilateral Foreign Trade Facility by delivery to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement executed by such Foreign Subsidiary, the Parent Borrower, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and the Administrative Agent and upon such delivery such Foreign Subsidiary shall for all purposes of this Agreement be a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under the Bilateral Foreign Trade Facility and a party to this Agreement until the Parent Borrower shall have executed and delivered to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination with respect to such Foreign Subsidiary, whereupon such Foreign Subsidiary shall cease to be a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under the Bilateral Foreign Trade Facility.

 

(iii)                               Notwithstanding the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), no such Borrowing Subsidiary Termination will become effective as to any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under the Foreign Trade Facility or the Bilateral Foreign Trade Facility, as applicable, at a time when any 

 

109

 

Obligations of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall be outstanding thereunder or any applicable FCIs issued for the account of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall be outstanding (which shall not have been cash collateralized or otherwise supported in a manner consistent with the terms of Section 2.6(o)(iv) or the obligations of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower in respect of each outstanding FCI shall not have been assumed by the Parent Borrower or another Foreign Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to a written assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parent Borrower, such terminated Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower that assumes obligations of such terminated Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent), provided that such Borrowing Subsidiary Termination shall be effective to terminate such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower’s right to request further FCIs or other extensions of credit under the Foreign Trade Facility or the Bilateral Foreign Trade Facility, as applicable.

 

(c)                                  For the avoidance of doubt, no Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall be liable for the Obligations of any other Loan Party.

 

(d)                                 The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Global Revolving Lenders of any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower added or terminated pursuant to Section 2.23(a), and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall promptly notify (i) each Participation FCI Issuing Lender and Lenders with Participation FCI Commitments of any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower added or terminated pursuant to Section 2.23(b)(i) and (ii) each Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender of any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower added or terminated pursuant to Section 2.23(b)(ii).

 

Section 2.24                            Defaulting Lenders.

 

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

 

(i)                                     Waivers and Amendment.  The Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.2.

 

(ii)                                  Reallocation of Payments.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amount received by any Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to such Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.8), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Agents hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Participation FCI Issuing Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the Parent Borrower or any Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Participation FCI Issuing Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit, Swingline Loan or Participation FCI; fourth, as the Parent Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent or Foreign Trade Facility Agent, as applicable; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or Foreign Trade Facility Agent, as applicable, or requested by the Parent Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this

 

110

 

Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, any Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Participation FCI Issuing Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Participation FCI Issuing Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Parent Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Parent Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans, unreimbursed LC Disbursements or unreimbursed FCI Disbursements in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans, unreimbursed LC Disbursements or unreimbursed FCI Disbursements were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.3 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and unreimbursed LC Disbursements and unreimbursed FCI Disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or unreimbursed LC Disbursements or unreimbursed FCI Disbursements, owed to, that Defaulting Lender.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to pay other amounts or post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.24(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 

(iii)                               Certain Fees.  The Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any fees pursuant to Section 2.14(a) or (b) for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Parent Borrower and other Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Financial Letter of Credit Fees, Non-Financial Letter of Credit Fees and any of the fees described in Section 2.6(p) to the extent as provided in Section 2.24(b).

 

(iv)                              Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Financial Letters of Credit, Non-Financial Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans or Participation FCIs, the “Applicable Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitments of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, each such reallocation shall be given effect (x) only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (y) for each non-Defaulting Lender, only to the extent that the aggregate obligation of that non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Financial Letters of Credit, Non-Financial Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans and FCIs after giving effect to such reallocation would not exceed one or more of (A) any excess of (1) the Domestic Revolving Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the sum of the Financial LC Exposure, Swingline Exposure and the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Domestic Revolving Loans of that Lender, (B) any excess of (1) the Global Revolving Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the sum of the Non-Financial LC Exposure and the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Global Revolving Loans of that Lender or (C) any excess of (1) the Participation FCI Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the FCI Exposure of that Lender.

 

(b)                                 Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, each Issuing Lender and each Participation FCI Issuing Lender agree in writing in their 

 

111

 

sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans and FCIs to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.24(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Parent Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

 

(c)                                  Request for Cash Collateral.  At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within three (3) Business Days of the request of the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Participation FCI Issuing Lender, the Parent Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.24(a)(iv) and any cash collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

 

(d)                                 Grant of Security Interest.  All cash collateral provided pursuant to this Section shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at (i) the Administrative Agent, with respect to cash collateral supporting the Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender and (ii) the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, with respect to cash collateral supporting the Fronting Exposure of the Participation FCI Issuing Lenders.  The Parent Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the applicable Agent with whom such cash collateral is deposited, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Participation FCI Issuing Lenders and/or the Lenders (including the Swingline Lender), as applicable, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such cash collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.24(e).  If at any time the applicable Agent determines that cash collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than such Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such cash collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Parent Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the applicable Agent, pay or provide to such Agent additional cash collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

 

(e)                                  Application.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, cash collateral provided under this Section 2.24 in respect of Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans or Participation FCIs shall be held and applied in satisfaction of the specific obligations for which the cash collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided herein or in any other Loan Document.

 

(f)                                   Release.  Cash collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender) or (ii) the applicable Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess cash collateral; provided, however, (x) that cash collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.24 may be otherwise applied in accordance with terms of the 

 

112

 

Loan Documents) and (y) the Loan Party providing cash collateral and the Issuing Lenders, the Participation FCI Issuing Lenders, and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, may agree that cash collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

 

Section 2.25                            Lending Offices.

 

Each Lender, Issuing Bank or FCI Issuing Lender, at its option, may perform its obligations hereunder through any Lender Office; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay any Loans, Letters of Credit or FCIs in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

116

 

Section 3.16                            Security Documents.

120

 

FCI, is subject to receipt of the request therefor in accordance herewith and to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

The Parent Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and MLPFS to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Parent Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.11); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and (z) the Administrative Agent and MLPFS shall be entitled to (and agree to) treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.”  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent Borrower shall be under no obligation to mark any Borrower Materials “PUBLIC”.

(d)                                 after the occurrence of the Ratings Event, any casualty or other insured damage to any material portion of any Collateral or the commencement of any action or proceeding for the taking of any material portion of the Collateral or interest therein under power of eminent domain or by condemnation or similar proceeding that could reasonably be expected to reduce the value of the Collateral by an aggregate amount in excess of $25,000,000; and

(b)                                 On each Collateral Date, the Parent Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer of the Parent Borrower setting forth (i) the information required by Section 5.11 and (ii) a summary of any change referred to in the first sentence of paragraph (a) above that has occurred since the immediately preceding Collateral Date (or, in the case of the first Collateral Date, since the Funding Date).

(c)                                  If, as of any Collateral Date following the Ratings Event, any property of the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a “Grantor” under any Security Document or any Restricted Subsidiary that is required to become a “Grantor” pursuant to Section 5.11(a) is not already subject to a perfected first priority Lien (except to the same extent as not required pursuant to Section 5.11(b) or as permitted by Section 6.3) in favor of the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower will notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly after such Collateral Date, will cause such assets to become subject to a Lien under the relevant Security Documents and will take, and cause the relevant Restricted Subsidiary to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect such Liens, including actions described in Section 5.12, all at the expense of the Loan Parties; provided that the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be required to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.11(c) if the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, determines that the cost or other negative consequences to the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries of such compliance is excessive in relation to the value of the collateral security to be afforded thereby.

 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.11 or any other Loan Document, prior to the occurrence of the Ratings Event, no property other than Capital Stock (subject to the exceptions specified in Section 5.11(a)) shall be required to become Collateral.

 

(e)                                  Promptly, and in any event within 60 days (or such longer period as is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), following the first date after the Release Date on which the corporate family rating of the Parent Borrower from Moody’s is less than “Baa3” (or not rated by Moody’s) and the corporate credit rating of the Parent Borrower from S&P is less than “BBB-” (or not rated by S&P), the Parent Borrower shall (i) execute and deliver, and cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to execute and deliver, to the Administrative Agent security documents, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which the Parent Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in all property (and types of property) of such Person that constituted Collateral under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement as in effect immediately prior to the Release Date (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include Capital Stock not required to be pledged pursuant to Section 5.11(a) or other assets not required to be subjected to a Lien pursuant to Section 5.11(b)) and (ii) take, and cause the relevant Restricted Subsidiaries to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect such Liens, including actions described in Section 5.12, all at the expense of the Loan Parties.

 

(f)                                   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.11 or any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not have Liens on (and shall, at the request and expense of the Parent Borrower, timely release any purported Liens on): (i) the assets transferred to a Receivables Entity and assets of such Receivables Entity, (ii) the Receivables and related assets (of the type specified in the definition of “Qualified Receivables Transaction”) transferred, or in respect of which security interests are granted, pursuant to a Qualified Receivables Transaction, (iii) if the documentation relating to the Receivables sale, factoring or securitization to which such Receivables Entity is a party expressly prohibits such a Lien, the Capital Stock or debt (whether or not represented by promissory notes) of or issued by a Receivables Entity to the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in each case in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction permitted by Section 6.6(c) and (iv) Capital Stock not required to be pledged pursuant to Section 5.11(a), (b) or (c).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.11 or any other Loan Document, neither the Parent Borrower nor any of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be required to take any action to perfect the security interest of the Administrative Agent in the Collateral other than (i) filing UCC financing statements, (ii) delivering Capital Stock required to be pledged pursuant to Sections 5.11(a), (b) and (c), (iii) executing, delivering, filing and recording mortgages with respect to owned real property in which a security interest is required 

 

128

 

to be granted pursuant to this Section 5.11 and (iv) executing, delivering, filing and recording notices of grants of security interest with the United States Patent Office and/or United States Copyright Office.

 

(g)                                  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Foreign Subsidiary (or any Subsidiary thereof) shall, or shall be deemed to, guarantee any Borrowing by the Parent Borrower, and no assets of any Foreign Subsidiary (or Subsidiary thereof) shall be given as security for such Borrowing. This provision is meant to prevent any inclusions pursuant to Section 956 of the Code and shall be interpreted in accordance therewith.

 

Section 5.12                            Further Assurances.

 

The Parent Borrower will, and will cause each of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages, deeds of trust and other documents), which may be required under any applicable law, or which the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or to grant, preserve, protect or perfect the Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Documents or the validity or priority of any such Lien, all at the expense of the Loan Parties.  The Parent Borrower also agrees to provide to the Administrative Agent, from time to time upon request, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as to the perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Documents.

 

Section 5.13                            Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

 

(a)                                 The Parent Borrower may at any time after the Funding Date, substantially contemporaneously upon the organization or acquisition of any Subsidiary, designate such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, or designate any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, that, (i) immediately before and after such designation (x) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (y) the Parent Borrower shall be in compliance, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such designation, with the covenants contained in Section 6.1, in each case recomputed as at the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Parent Borrower for which the relevant information is available as if such designation had occurred on the first day of each relevant period for testing such compliance; (ii) no Unrestricted Subsidiary shall own any Capital Stock in any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary; (iii) no Unrestricted Subsidiary shall hold any Indebtedness of, or any Lien on any property of, any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary; and (iv) no Restricted Subsidiary may be designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary if it was previously designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

 

(b)                                 The designation of any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Funding Date shall constitute an Investment by the Parent Borrower therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the fair market value as determined in good faith by the Parent Borrower of such Investment.

 

(c)                                  The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence by the Parent Borrower at the time of such designation of any Investment, Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time.

 

Section 5.14                            Anti-Corruption Laws.

 

The Parent Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (a) conduct its businesses in compliance, in all material respects, with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, the UK Bribery Act 2010, and other applicable anti-corruption legislation in other jurisdictions and (b) maintain 

 

129

 

policies and procedures designed to promote and achieve compliance, in all material respects, with such laws.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Foreign Trade Facility Agent:

 

146

 

(a)                                 shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

 

(b)                                 shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent or the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, as applicable, 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 neither the Administrative Agent nor the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the applicable Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall 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 such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (each as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).  The Agents shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Agents by the Parent Borrower or a Lender.

 

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

The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or any Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or any Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be

In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any FCI, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or any FCI Issuing Lender, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or any FCI Issuing Lender unless the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such FCI Issuing Lender prior to the issuance of such FCI.  The Foreign Trade Facility Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower 

 

148

 

and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Lenders directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  The fees payable by the Parent Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Parent 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 9.3 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.

 

(ii)                                  Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender.

(b)                                 Resignation of Foreign Trade Facility Agent.  The Foreign Trade Facility Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Administrative Agent, the FCI Issuing Lenders, the Lenders with Participation FCI Commitments and the Parent Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the FCI Issuing Lenders and the Lenders with Participation FCI Commitments (acting by a majority in interest thereof) shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Parent Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the FCI Issuing Lenders and the Lenders with Participation FCI Commitments (acting by a majority in interest thereof) and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Foreign Trade Facility Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Foreign Trade Facility Agent may on behalf of the FCI Issuing Lenders and the Lenders with Participation FCI Commitments, appoint a successor Foreign Trade Facility Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall instead be made by or to each FCI Issuing Lender and each Lender with a Participation FCI Commitment and the Issuing Lenders directly, until such time as the FCI Issuing Lenders and the Lenders with Participation FCI Commitments appoint a successor Foreign Trade Facility Agent as provided for above in this Section.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Foreign Trade Facility Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Foreign Trade Facility Agent, and the retiring Foreign Trade Facility Agent shall

(a)                                 No failure or delay by any Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.  The rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

(b)                                 Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Required Lenders and each Loan Party to the relevant Loan Document, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document; provided that no such agreement shall:

fees or other amounts payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; it being acknowledged and agreed that amendments or modifications of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio test (and all related definitions) are not addressed by this clause (ii);

 

(iii)                               extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, or postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, LC Disbursement or FCI Disbursement, or any interest (or premium, if any) thereon, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive, excuse or subordinate any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in Letters of Credit, FCIs and Swingline Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

 

(i)                                     Minimum Amounts.

 

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

 

(B)                               in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of 

 

158

 

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) $5,000,000 in the case of an assignment of Revolving Loans, (2) $5,000,000 in the case of an assignment of any Term Loans and (3) $5,000,000 in the case of an assignment in respect of the Foreign Trade Facility unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Parent Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

 

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

 

(A)                               the consent of the Parent Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender (or, with respect to any assignment of any Term Loans, such assignment is to an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund);

 

(B)                               the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) any Term Loan A Commitment, Incremental Term Loan Commitment, Domestic Revolving Commitment or Global Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender (other than to a Person that is an Affiliate of a Lender) with a Commitment in respect of the Commitment subject to such assignment and (ii) the Term Loan A or any Incremental Term Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

 

(C)                               the consent of the Issuing Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Domestic Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Domestic Revolving Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender;

 

(D)                               the consent of the FCI Issuing Lenders in their sole discretion shall be required for any assignment (other than any assignment to the Foreign Trade Facility Agent) after the Effective Date that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more FCIs or Joint Signature FCIs (whether or not then outstanding);

 

(E)                                the consent of the Swingline Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Domestic Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Domestic Revolving Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

 

(F)                                 the consent of the Foreign Trade Facility Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for all assignments in respect of any 

 

159

 

Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitments, Participation FCI Issuing Commitments or Participation FCI Commitment.

 

(iii)                               Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.

 

(iv)                              No Assignment to Borrower.  Except as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 9.4((k), no such assignment shall be made to the Parent Borrower or any of the Parent Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

 

(v)                                 No Assignment to Natural Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).

 

(vi)                              No Assignment to a Defaulting Lender.  No such assignment shall be made to a Defaulting Lender.

 

(vii)                           Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the applicable Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Parent Borrower and the applicable Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agents or any Lenders hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans and FCIs in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17, 2.18, 2.19 and 9.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.  Upon request, the Parent Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such

 

160

 

Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsections (e) and (f) of this Section.

 

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

 

(d)                                 Notes.  If after giving effect to any Assignment and Assumption, the relevant assignor no longer has any Commitments with respect to the Commitments being assigned, such assignor shall, upon the request of the Parent Borrower, return each Note (if any) with respect to each such Commitment to the Parent Borrower marked “cancelled”.

 

(e)                                  Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or any Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person), a Defaulting Lender, or the Parent Borrower or any of the Parent Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in FCI Issuing Lender Exposure, LC Exposure and/or Swingline 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 Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent, the other Lenders and the Issuing Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the proviso to Section 9.2(b) (and other than application of any default rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.15(c)) that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (f) of this Section, the Parent Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17, 2.18 and 2.19 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section; provided that, in the case of Section 2.19, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said section.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.8 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.20(c) as though it were a Lender.

 

(f)                                   Limitation on Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.17 or 2.19 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Parent Borrower’s prior written consent.  A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.19 unless the Parent Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant

 

161

 

and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Parent Borrower, to comply with Sections 2.19(e). 2.19(f) and 2.19(i), as though it were a Lender.

 

(g)                                  Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Notes, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority; 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.

 

(h)                                 Resignation as Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender after Assignment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, (i) upon thirty days’ notice to the Parent Borrower and the Lenders, resign as Issuing Lender and/or (ii) upon thirty days’ notice to the Parent Borrower, resign as Swingline Lender.  In the event of any such resignation as Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, the Parent Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Parent Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as the case may be.  If Bank of America resigns as Issuing Lender, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Lender and all LC Exposure with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make ABR Loans or fund risk participations in unreimbursed amounts pursuant to Section 2.5(d)).  If Bank of America resigns as Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make ABR Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.4(c).  Upon the appointment of a successor Issuing Lender and/or Swingline Lender, (1) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and (2) the successor Issuing Lender shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

 

(i)                                     Assignments by FCI Issuing Lenders.  Any FCI Issuing Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment to issue future Bilateral FCIs (and related rights and obligations with respect to such Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment) and/or its Participation FCI Issuing Commitment to issue future Participation FCIs (and related rights and obligations with respect to such Participation FCI Issuing Commitment); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the consent of the Parent Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment and to the consent of the Foreign Trade Facility Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent an assignment agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee in the aggregate amount of $3,500 payable to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any such assignment.  The assignee, if it is not already an FCI Issuing Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Foreign Trade Facility Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.  No such assignment by an FCI Issuing Lender shall be made to (i) the Parent Borrower or any of the Parent Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (ii) a natural person.  Upon consummation of any such assignment, Schedule 1.1A shall be deemed revised to reflect the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitments and/or Participation FCI Issuing Commitments after giving effect to such assignment.  From and after the effective date specified in each such Assignment and Assumption, the assignee FCI

 

162

 

Issuing Lender thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment and/or Participation FCI Issuing Commitment assigned by such assignment, have the rights and obligations of a Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender and/or Participation FCI Issuing Lender, as applicable, under this Agreement, and the assigning Bilateral FCI Issuing Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the Bilateral FCI Issuing Commitment and/or Participation FCI Issuing Commitments assigned by such assignment, be released from its obligations under this Agreement but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17, 2.18, 2.19 and 9.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment and shall continue to have the rights and obligations of an FCI Issuing Lender with respect to any FCIs issued by it prior to the time of such assignment.

 

(j)                                    Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Parent Borrower, maintain a register 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 Loans or other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents sold to such Participant (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that the applicable 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 and any other Loan Document notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

 

(k)                                 Borrower Buybacks.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Term Loan A Lender and/or any Incremental Term Lender, as applicable (but not, for purposes of clarity, any other Facility) may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its Term Loans on non-pro rata basis to the Parent Borrower in accordance with the procedures set forth on Schedule 9.4(k), pursuant to an offer made to all Term Loan A Lender and/or all Incremental Term Lender, as applicable, on a pro rata basis (a “Dutch Auction”), subject to the following limitations: (i) immediately and automatically, without any further action on the part of the Parent Borrower, any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Person, upon the effectiveness of such assignment of Term Loans from a Term Loan A Lender and/or an Incremental Term Lender, as applicable, to the Parent Borrower, such Term Loans and all rights and obligations as a Term Loan A Lender and/or an Incremental Term Lender, as applicable, related thereto shall, for all purposes under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and otherwise, be deemed to be irrevocably prepaid, terminated, extinguished, cancelled and of no further force and effect and the Parent Borrower shall neither obtain nor have any rights as a Term Loan A Lender and/or an Incremental Term Lender, as applicable, hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by virtue of such assignment; (ii) no proceeds of any Domestic Revolving Loans, any Global Revolving Loans or any Swingline Loan shall be used to fund any such assignment; and (iii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing before or immediately after giving effect to such assignment.  By participating in any such Dutch Auction, each Lender acknowledges and agrees that (A) the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries may have, and later may come into possession of, Excluded Information, (B) such Lender has independently and, without reliance on the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, made its own analysis and determination to participate in such Dutch Auction notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of the Excluded Information, (C) none of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be required to make any representation that it is not in possession of Excluded Information, (D) none of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to such Lender, and such Lender hereby waives and releases, to the extent permitted by law, any claims such Lender may have against any such Persons under applicable laws or otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information, (E) the Excluded Information may not be

 

163

 

available to the Agents and the other Lenders and (F) if so requested by any party to assignments of all or any portion of its Term Loans in connection with such Dutch Auction, such Lender will make additional customary “big boy” representations.

 

Section 9.5                                   Survival.

 

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit and FCIs, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest (or premium, if any) on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit or FCI is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.  The provisions of Sections 2.17, 2.18, 2.19 and 9.3 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit, the FCIs or the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.  The provisions of Section 9.11 shall survive and remain in full force and effect for two years after the termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 9.6                                   Counterparts; Integration.

 

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement, the other Loan Document and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to any Agent 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.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto (including the Lenders) and their respective successors and assigns.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement or such other Loan Document.

 

Section 9.7                                   Severability.

 

Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.  Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.7, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by the Bankruptcy Code of the United States (or similar debtor relief laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions), as determined in good faith by the applicable Agent, the applicable Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or the applicable FCI Issuing Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

 

164

 

Section 9.8                                   Right of Setoff.

 

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of a Borrower against any of and all the obligations of a Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.24 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the applicable Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

(c)                                  Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, (i) any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court and (iii) any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

Section 9.11                            Confidentiality.

 

Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Related Parties, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors on a reasonable need to know basis (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority or rating agency, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, 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 as those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in Hedging Agreements or other swap agreements relating to this Agreement or such counterparty’s professional advisor, (h) with the consent of the Parent Borrower, and (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) is or becomes available to any Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source (believed in good faith by such Agent or Lender not to have any duty of confidentiality to any Borrower) other than a Borrower.  For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from or on behalf of any Borrower relating to a Borrower or its business; provided that 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 9.12                            Waiver of Jury Trial.

 

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY 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, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY 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 BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

 

Section 9.13                            Release of Collateral.

 

(a)                                 On the first date (the “Release Date”) on which the corporate family rating of the Parent Borrower from Moody’s is “Baa3” or better or the corporate credit rating of the Parent Borrower from S&P is “BBB-” or better, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists on such date or after giving effect to the release of Liens contemplated hereby, all Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and any other Security Document, all without delivery of any

 

166

 

instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Loan Parties.  At the request and sole expense of any Loan Party following any such release, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Loan Party any Collateral held by the Administrative Agent under any Security Document, and execute and deliver to such Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such release.

 

(b)                                 If any of the Collateral shall be Disposed of by any Loan Party in a transaction permitted by this Agreement, then the Administrative Agent, at the request and sole expense of such Loan Party, shall execute and deliver to such Loan Party all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and any other Security Document on such Collateral.  At the request and sole expense of the Parent Borrower, a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and any other Security Document in the event that such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Wholly Owned Subsidiary pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted by this Agreement and if, as a result of such transaction, the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries own less than 75% of the outstanding voting Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor.  In addition, at the request and sole expense of the Parent Borrower, not more than twice during the term of this Agreement after the Funding Date, a Subsidiary Guarantor and the Subsidiaries of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from their respective obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and any other Security Document in the event that a portion of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor is Disposed of in a transaction expressly permitted by Section 6.6(e) or (g) (but which does not satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence); provided that the aggregate Consolidated EBITDA for the most recently completed period of four consecutive fiscal quarters for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.1 (in each case determined at the time of such transaction) that is attributable to the Subsidiaries released from their obligations hereunder pursuant to this sentence shall not exceed $40,000,000.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Subsidiary be released from its obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any other Security Document, in the event that such Subsidiary is a guarantor of any other Indebtedness of any Loan Party.

 

(c)                                  At such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations, the Bilateral FCI Reimbursement Obligations, the Participation FCI Reimbursement Obligations and the other Obligations shall have been paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit or FCIs shall be outstanding (or shall have been fully cash collateralized or otherwise supported in a manner consistent with the terms of Section 2.5(j) or Section 2.6(o)(iv), as applicable), the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and any other Security Document, and each Security Document and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party thereunder 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 Loan Parties.  At the request and sole expense of any Loan Party following any such termination, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Loan Party any Collateral held by the Administrative Agent under any Security Document, and execute and deliver to such Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

 

Section 9.14                            Judgment Currency.

 

(a)                                 The Borrowers’ obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in a specified currency (the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the applicable Agent or a Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to such Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.  If, for the purpose of

 

167

 

obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the rate of exchange (as quoted by the Administrative Agent or if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by the Administrative Agent) determined, in each case, as of the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

 

(b)                                 If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Borrowers covenant and agree to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

 

(c)                                  For purposes of determining any rate of exchange or currency equivalent for this Section, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

 

Section 9.15                            USA Patriot Act Notice.

 

Each Lender hereby notifies each Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) and other applicable foreign Requirements of Law, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Borrower in accordance with the Act or such other Requirements of Law, as applicable.

 

Section 9.16                            Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents.

 

The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including Assignment and Assumptions, amendments or other modifications, Borrowing Requests, Interest Election Requests, Utilization Requests, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the applicable Agent, 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; provided, that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary no Agent is under any obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it.

 

Section 9.17                            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 Parent Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that: (a)(i) the

 

168

 

arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and MLPFS, are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and MLPFS, on the other hand, (ii) the Parent Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (iii) the Parent 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; (b)(i) the Administrative Agent, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and MLPFS 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 Parent Borrower or any of Subsidiaries or any other Person and (ii) neither the Administrative Agent, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent nor MLPFS has any obligation to the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) the Administrative Agent, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent and MLPFS and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and neither the Administrative Agent, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent nor MLPFS has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Parent Borrower or its Subsidiaries.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Parent Borrower hereby waives and releases, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Foreign Trade Facility Agent or MLPFS with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

 

Section 9.18                            [Reserved].

 

Section 9.19                            Keepwell.

 

Each Loan Party that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time the Guarantee under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is entered into by any Loan Party that is not then an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act (a “Specified Loan Party”) or at the time any such Specified Loan Party grants a security interest under the Loan Documents, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Loan Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations and undertakings under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement voidable under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States (or similar debtor relief laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions), and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each applicable Loan Party under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement) have been paid in full, the Commitments have expired or terminated and all Letters of Credit and FCIs shall have expired (without any pending drawing) or terminated (or been fully cash collateralized or otherwise supported in a manner consistent with the terms of Section 2.5(j) or Section 2.6(o)(iv), as applicable). Each Loan Party intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Loan Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

 

Section 9.20                            Spinoff.

 

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) notwithstanding the fact that the Spinoff will be consummated substantially contemporaneously with, but subsequent to, the Funding Date, upon the consummation of the Spinoff, the Spinoff shall be deemed for all purposes hereunder to have occurred

 

169

 

simultaneously with the initial funding hereunder on the Funding Date, (b) notwithstanding anything set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, the Spinoff is expressly permitted hereunder and (c) nothing set forth herein or in any other Loan Document shall limit the Parent Borrower’s ability to consummate the Spinoff and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Schedule 1.1C

 

FCI Requirements

 

Part A.  Mandatory Requirements

 

	
Permitted Types of Instruments:
    	
 
    	
The FCI must qualify as a surety, a surety payable   on first demand, a guarantee or standby letter of credit in favor of third   parties, or, in case of issuance under foreign law, the foreign law   equivalent of the said classification.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Purpose:
    	
 
    	
The purpose of an FCI must be for particular trade   risks only, e.g., performance or warranty obligations of the relevant   Borrower such as payment obligations arising from non-performance, warranty   obligations or comparable events of non-fulfillment of contractual or legal   obligations. The purpose of an FCI must not be to cover the risk of the   relevant Borrower’s being or becoming insolvent or filing for or becoming the   subject of bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization or similar   proceedings.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Rules:
    	
 
    	
If any rules are specified in an FCI to govern   such FCI, then such rules must be:
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
a) the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary   Credits, 2007 Revision, International Chamber of Commerce Publication   No. 600,
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
b) the International Standby Practices   1998, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590, or
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
c) the Uniform Rules for Demand   Guarantees, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 758.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
Such chosen rules shall also apply to the   rights and obligations of the applicable FCI Issuing Lender under this   Agreement with respect to such FCI, unless they are inconsistent with the   terms of this Agreement, in which case the terms of this Agreement shall   control.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Reference to Underlying Transaction/ Purpose Clause:
    	
 
    	
The terms of an FCI must contain a narrative   reference to what has been reported to the FCI Issuing Lender about the   underlying transaction as well as a purpose clause describing those of the   relevant Borrower’s obligations that are covered by such FCI.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Payment obligation:
    	
 
    	
The payment obligation of an FCI Issuing Lender must   be worded as an irrevocable obligation to pay a specific maximum amount of   money and not for specific performance of the underlying contract.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Expiry:
    	
 
    	
Each FCI must contain a provision stating when it   shall terminate, e.g.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
a) return of the FCI document for cancellation,
    

 

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
b) on a fixed expiry date,
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
c) when no amount remains payable under the FCI,
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
d) on presentation to the Foreign Issuing Lender of   the beneficiary’s signed release from liability under the FCI, and/or
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
e) on the other expiry event stated in the FCI, or,   if the required FCI does not provide for a calendar expiry date, the   Commercial Lifetime of such FCI, which is to be mentioned in the Utilisation   Request, shall fall within the Permitted Maturity.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Part B.   Dispensable Requirements
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Arbitration:
    	
 
    	
In no event shall an arbitration clause in respect   of the payment obligation of the FCI Issuing Lender be applicable.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Maturity/Demand:
    	
 
    	
The payment obligation of an FCI Issuing Lender   shall be determinable by reliance on the terms of the relevant FCI issued by   it only and, as the case may be, any other document simultaneously to be   presented together with a demand. Such payment obligation shall be   conditional upon presentation of a demand for payment with or, as the case   may be, without simultaneous presentation of other documents. The terms of   each FCI shall require:
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
a) receipt by the FCI Issuing Lender of a payment   demand conforming to the terms and conditions stipulated in such FCI by the   expiry date at the latest, and
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
b) that thereafter no further demand shall be   honored.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Transfers:
    	
 
    	
Transfer of rights and claims under any FCI shall   expressly be subject to the prior written consent of the relevant FCI Issuing   Lender.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Governing Law/Jurisdiction:
    	
 
    	
The terms of each FCI shall contain a clause stating   the governing law and jurisdiction for the resolution of disputes under such FCI.   (Note: arbitration clauses are not to be used).
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Miscellaneous:
    	
 
    	
The terms of an FCI shall not provide for a   combination of more than three purposes. The terms of an FCI shall not   provide that an FCI Issuing Lender has to verify the occurrence of events   that are beyond such FCI Issuing Lender’s control, including but not limited   to determining whether the payment obligation of such FCI Issuing Lender has   become due or examining the underlying relationship in order to determine the   FCI’s expiration. No FCI Issuing Lender is obliged or shall be forced to   issue any FCI which fails to meet one or more Dispensable Requirements.

Schedule 2.6(g)

 

Obligations of FCI Issuing Lenders

 

	
Booking:
    	
Upon the execution of   the instructions to issue an FCI, the relevant FCI   Issuing Lender shall debit the amount of the FCI to the FCI   account of the relevant Borrower maintained by it. Execution in this context   refers to handing over or sending the FCI   to the beneficiary, the relevant Borrower or any third party nominated by   such Borrower or instructing the Indirect FCI Issuing Lender to issue an FCI.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
Examination of   Documents:
    	
Demands, statements and   other documents which are to be presented under any FCI shall be examined by the   relevant FCI Issuing Lender to   ascertain whether they appear on their face to conform to the terms of such FCI and do not appear to be   inconsistent with one another (to the extent that examination for   inconsistency is required by the express terms of such FCI or by any rules applicable   to such FCI such as the   Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, 2007   Revision, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600 or   the Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees, 2010   Revision, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 758.   Such FCI Issuing Lender is   entitled to treat documents transmitted by teletransmission (e.g.   SWIFT-Messages) as originals.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
Notice to the Borrower:
    	
Each FCI Issuing Lender will inform the   Foreign Trade Facility Agent and the relevant Borrower promptly of any   debiting, reduction and reversal of an FCI   Credit Instrument issued by it as well as of the receipt of any   documents (in particular payment demands) from a beneficiary or an Indirect FCI which comply with the terms of   the FCI and are of relevance to such Borrower. Such FCI Issuing Lender will   make available the originals of such documents, upon request, to such   Borrower to the extent that such FCI Issuing Lender does not require them for   the preservation of its rights or is not bound to keep them itself.
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
Reversal in the FCI   Account:
    	
Each FCI Issuing Lender   shall reduce the amount of each FCI in the FCI account of the relevant   Borrower maintained by it in accordance with Section 2.6(k).
    
	
 
    	
 
    
	
FCIs under Paris Rules:
    	
In case an FCI Issuing   Lender is instructed, and prepared to execute the instructions, that either   an FCI (other than a Counter-Guarantee) or a Counter-Guarantee together with   a corresponding Indirect FCI be expressly subject to the Uniform   Rules for Demand Guarantees of the International Chamber of Commerce in   Paris, (Publication No. 758), then the latter apply with respect to   reversals of such FCI in the FCI Account. Unless otherwise stipulated in such   FCI, such FCI Issuing Lender may then in case of an ‘extend or pay’ demand   effect payment 10 calendar days after giving notice thereof to the relevant   Borrower, unless such 
    

 

 

	
 
    	
Borrower has instructed   such FCI Issuing Lender beforehand to extend such FCI and such FCI Issuing   Lender has accepted such instructions.

Schedule 9.4(k)

 

Dutch Auction Procedures

 

This outline is intended to summarize certain basic terms of procedures with respect to certain Borrower buy-backs pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 9.4(k) of the Credit Agreement to which this Schedule 9.4(k) is attached.  It is not intended to be a definitive list of all of the terms and conditions of a Dutch Auction and all such terms and conditions shall be set forth in the applicable auction procedures documentation set for each Dutch Auction (the “Offer Documents”). None of the Administrative Agent, Bank of America, N.A. (or, if Bank of America, N.A. declines to act in such capacity, an investment bank of recognized standing selected by the Parent Borrower) (the “Auction Manager”) or any of their respective Affiliates makes any recommendation pursuant to the Offer Documents as to whether or not any Term Loan A Lender or Incremental Term Lender should sell by assignment any of its Term Loans pursuant to the Offer Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by participating in the Dutch Auction as a Term Loan A Lender or Incremental Term Lender, as applicable) or whether or not the Parent Borrower should purchase by assignment any Term Loans from any Term Loan A Lender or Incremental Term Lender pursuant to any Dutch Auction.  Each Term Loan A Lender and Incremental Term Lender should make its own decision as to whether to sell by assignment any of its Term Loans and, if so, the principal amount of and price to be sought for such Term Loans.  In addition, each Term Loan A Lender and Incremental Term Lender should consult its own attorney, business advisor or tax advisor as to legal, business, tax and related matters concerning any Dutch Auction and the Offer Documents.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Schedule 9.4(k) have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

 

Summary.  The Parent Borrower may purchase (by assignment) Term Loans on a non-pro rata basis by conducting one or more Dutch Auctions pursuant to the procedures described herein; provided that no more than one Dutch Auction may be ongoing at any one time and no more than four Dutch Auctions may be made in any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Parent Borrower.

 

1.                                      Notice Procedures.  In connection with each Dutch Auction, the Parent Borrower will notify the Auction Manager (for distribution to the Term Loan A Lenders and Incremental Term Lenders) of the Term Loans that will be the subject of the Dutch Auction by delivering to the Auction Manager a written notice in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Auction Manager (an “Auction Notice”).  Each Auction Notice shall contain (i) the maximum principal amount of Term Loans the Parent Borrower is willing to purchase (by assignment) in the Dutch Auction (the “Auction Amount”), which shall be no less than $[AMOUNT] or an integral multiple of $[AMOUNT] in excess of thereof, (ii) the range of discounts to par (the “Discount Range”), expressed as a range of prices per $1,000 of Term Loans, at which the Parent Borrower would be willing to purchase Term Loans in the Dutch Auction and (iii) the date on which the Dutch Auction will conclude, on which date Return Bids (as defined below) will be due at the time provided in the Auction Notice (such time, the “Expiration Time”), as such date and time may be extended upon notice by the Parent Borrower to the Auction Manager not less than 24 hours before the original Expiration Time. The Auction Manager will deliver a copy of the Offer Documents to each Term Loan A Lender and Incremental Term Lender promptly following completion thereof.

 

2.                                      Reply Procedures.  In connection with any Dutch Auction, each Term Loan A Lender and Incremental Term Lender holding Term Loans wishing to participate in such Dutch Auction shall, prior to the Expiration Time, provide the Auction Manager with a notice of participation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Auction Manager (the “Return Bid”) to be included in the Offer Documents, which shall specify (i) a discount to par that must be expressed as a price per $1,000 of Term Loans (the “Reply Price”) within the Discount Range and (ii) the principal amount of Term Loans, in an amount not less than $[AMOUNT], that such Term Loan A Lender or Incremental Term Lender is willing

 

 

to offer for sale at its Reply Price (the “Reply Amount”); provided that each Term Loan A Lender and Incremental Term Lender may submit a Reply Amount that is less than the minimum amount and incremental amount requirements described above only if the Reply Amount equals the entire amount of the Term Loans held by such Term Loan A Lender or Incremental Term Lender at such time. A Term Loan A Lender or Incremental Term Lender may only submit one Return Bid per Dutch Auction, but each Return Bid may contain up to three component bids, each of which may result in a separate Qualifying Bid (as defined below) and each of which will not be contingent on any other component bid submitted by such Term Loan A Lender or Incremental Term Lender resulting in a Qualifying Bid.  In addition to the Return Bid, a participating Term Loan A Lender or Incremental Term Lender must execute and deliver, to be held by the Auction Manager, an assignment and acceptance in the form included in the Offer Documents which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Auction Manager and the Administrative Agent (the “Auction Assignment and Acceptance”).  The Parent Borrower will not purchase any Term Loans at a price that is outside of the applicable Discount Range, nor will any Return Bids (including any component bids specified therein) submitted at a price that is outside such applicable Discount Range be considered in any calculation of the Applicable Threshold Price (as defined below).

 

3.                                      Acceptance Procedures.  Based on the Reply Prices and Reply Amounts received by the Auction Manager, the Auction Manager, in consultation with the Parent Borrower, will calculate the lowest purchase price (the “Applicable Threshold Price”) for the Dutch Auction within the Discount Range for the Dutch Auction that will allow the Parent Borrower to complete the Dutch Auction by purchasing the full Auction Amount (or such lesser amount of Term Loans for which the Parent Borrower has received Qualifying Bids).  The Parent Borrower shall purchase (by assignment) Term Loans from each Term Loan A Lender and Incremental Term Lender whose Return Bid is within the Discount Range and contains a Reply Price that is equal to or less than the Applicable Threshold Price (each, a “Qualifying Bid”).  All Term Loans included in Qualifying Bids received at a Reply Price lower than the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at a purchase price equal to the applicable Reply Price and shall not be subject to proration.  If a Term Loan A Lender or Incremental Term Lender has submitted a Return Bid containing multiple component bids at different Reply Prices, then all Term Loans of such Term Loan A Lender or Incremental Term Lender offered in any such component bid that constitutes a Qualifying Bid with a Reply Price lower than the Applicable Threshold Price shall also be purchased at a purchase price equal to the applicable Reply Price and shall not be subject to proration.

 

4.                                      Proration Procedures.  All Term Loans offered in Return Bids (or, if applicable, any component bid thereof) constituting Qualifying Bids equal to the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at a purchase price equal to the Applicable Threshold Price; provided that if the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans for which Qualifying Bids have been submitted in any given Dutch Auction equal to the Applicable Threshold Price would exceed the remaining portion of the Auction Amount (after deducting all Term Loans purchased below the Applicable Threshold Price), the Parent Borrower shall purchase the Term Loans for which the Qualifying Bids submitted were at the Applicable Threshold Price ratably based on the respective principal amounts offered and in an aggregate amount up to the amount necessary to complete the purchase of the Auction Amount.  For the avoidance of doubt, no Return Bids (or any component thereof) will be accepted above the Applicable Threshold Price.

 

5.                                      Notification Procedures.  The Auction Manager will calculate the Applicable Threshold Price no later than the [   ] Business Day after the date that the Return Bids were due.  The Auction Manager will insert the amount of Term Loans to be assigned and the applicable settlement date determined by the Auction Manager in consultation with the Parent Borrower onto each applicable Auction Assignment and Acceptance received in connection with a Qualifying Bid.  Upon written request of the submitting Term Loan A Lender or Incremental Term Lender, the Auction Manager will promptly return any Auction Assignment and Acceptance received in connection with a Return Bid that is not a Qualifying Bid.

 

 

6.                                      Additional Procedures.  Once initiated by an Auction Notice, the Parent Borrower may withdraw a Dutch Auction by written notice to the Auction Manager no later than 24 hours before the original Expiration Time so long as no Qualifying Bids have been received by the Auction Manager at or prior to the time the Auction Manager receives such written notice from the Parent Borrower.  Any Return Bid (including any component bid thereof) delivered to the Auction Manager may not be modified, revoked, terminated or cancelled; provided that a Term Loan A Lender or Incremental Term Lender may modify a Return Bid at any time prior to the Expiration Time solely to reduce the Reply Price included in such Return Bid.  However, a Dutch Auction shall become void if the Parent Borrower fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions to the purchase of Term Loans set forth in, or to otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 9.4(k) of the Credit Agreement to which this Schedule 9.4(k) is attached.  The purchase price for all Term Loans purchased in a Dutch Auction shall be paid in cash by the Parent Borrower directly to the respective assigning Term Loan A Lender or Incremental Term Lender on a settlement date as determined by the Auction Manager in consultation with the Parent Borrower (which shall be no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date Return Bids are due), along with accrued and unpaid interest (if any) on the applicable Term Loans up to the settlement date.  The Parent Borrower shall execute each applicable Auction Assignment and Acceptance received in connection with a Qualifying Bid.

 

All questions as to the form of documents and validity and eligibility of Term Loans that are the subject of a Dutch Auction will be determined by the Auction Manager, in consultation with the Parent Borrower, and the Auction Manager’s determination will be conclusive, absent manifest error.  The Auction Manager’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer Document, in consultation with the Parent Borrower, will be final and binding.

 

None of the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager or any of their respective Affiliates assumes any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information concerning the Parent Borrower, the Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates contained in the Offer Documents or otherwise or for any failure to disclose events that may have occurred and may affect the significance or accuracy of such information.

 

The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such under a Dutch Auction shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Article VIII and Section 9.3 of the Credit Agreement to the same extent as if each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” were a reference to the Auction Manager, each reference therein to the “Loan Documents” were a reference to the Offer Documents, the Auction Notice and Auction Assignment and Acceptance and each reference therein to the “Transactions” were a reference to the transactions contemplated hereby and the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Auction Manager as reasonably requested by the Auction Manager in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Dutch Auction.

 

This Schedule 9.4(k) shall not require the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary to initiate any Dutch Auction, nor shall any Term Loan A Lender or Incremental Term Lender be obligated to participate in any Dutch Auction.
