All Loans shall have a single Interest Period.

(ii) Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.06(c), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed effective date for such election (or in the case of the Interest Period commencing on the Closing Date, no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date). Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.

(iii) Content of Interest Election Requests. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with this Section 2.06(c)(iii):

(A) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; and

 

-20-


(B) the Interest Period therefor after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

(iv) Notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details (including the rate of interest in effect for such Interest Period) thereof in accordance with Section 9.02.

(v) Failure to Elect. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to any Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Loan is repaid as provided herein, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of the same duration as the previous Interest Period; provided that such Interest Period is a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

(vi) Events of Default. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Majority Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing no outstanding Loan may have an Interest Period of more than one month duration or such shorter duration as the Majority Lenders may instruct.

Section 2.07. Prepayments.

(a) Right to Prepay. The Borrower shall have no right to prepay any principal amount of any Loan except as provided in this Section 2.07. All prepayments shall be without premium or penalty, except as provided in Section 2.08. Subject to Sections 2.07(d), 2.09(d) and 7.06, all prepayments shall be applied pro rata among all Loans. Amounts that are prepaid may not be reborrowed.

(b) Optional. The Borrower may elect to prepay any of the Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, after giving by 11:00 a.m. (New York City, New York time) at least five Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of such prepayment. If any such notice is given, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in whole or ratably in part in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount specified in such notice, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid and amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.08 as a result of such prepayment being made on such date; provided, however, that each partial payment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than U.S.$5,000,000 and in integral multiples of U.S.$1,000,000 in excess thereof or, in the event a lesser amount remains outstanding, such lesser amount.

(c) Illegality. If any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts, or a Lender determines in good faith, that it is unlawful for such Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to perform its obligations under this Agreement to make Loans or maintain any Loans of such Lender then outstanding hereunder, the Borrower shall, if such Lender is not prohibited by law or regulation to maintain such Loans for the duration of the Interest Period, no later than 11:00

 

-21-


a.m. (New York City, New York time), on the last day of the Interest Period for each outstanding Loan, or if such Lender is prohibited by law or regulation to maintain such Loans for the duration of the Interest Period, promptly upon its receipt of such notice, prepay all of the Loans of such Lender then outstanding, together with accrued interest on the principal amount prepaid to the date of such prepayment and amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.08 as a result of such prepayment being made on such date. Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such designation would avoid the effect of this paragraph and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(d) Mandatory Prepayment upon Change of Control. If there shall occur a Change of Control, the Borrower shall, no later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, prepay the Loans in full, such prepayment to be made together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.08(b)).

(e) Ratable Payments; Effect of Notice. Except as provided in Sections 2.07(c) and 2.09(d) each payment of a Loan pursuant to this Section 2.07 or any other provision of this Agreement shall be made in a manner such that all Loans are paid in whole or ratably in part. All notices given pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be irrevocable and binding upon the Borrower.

Section 2.08. Breakage Costs.

(a) Funding Losses. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, out-of-pocket cost, or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) incurred by such Lender, and shall pay to such Lender any amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits), as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in the Notice of Proposed Closing Date, the conditions set forth in Article III.

(b) Prepayment Losses. If (i) any payment of principal of any Loan is made other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan as a result of any voluntary prepayment or payment pursuant to Section 2.07(c) or Section 2.07(d), the acceleration of the maturity of the Loans, or for any other reason or (ii) the Borrower fails to make a principal or interest payment with respect to any Loan on the date such payment is due and payable (including, without limitation, pursuant to a notice of optional prepayment pursuant to Section 2.07(b)), the Borrower shall, within 10 days of any written demand sent by any Lender to the Borrower, pay to such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, out-of-pocket costs, or expenses which it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or nonpayment, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost, or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Loan.

 

-22-


Section 2.09. Increased Costs and Capital Adequacy.

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

(i) subject a Lender to any Tax (other than the Excluded Taxes, Taxes payable by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.12 or a FATCA Deduction required to be made by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) with respect to any Loans or its obligation to make Loans, or changes the basis on which Taxes (other than the Excluded Taxes, Taxes payable by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.12 or a FATCA Deduction required to be made by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) are imposed on any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement in respect of any Loans;

(ii) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the applicable rate of interest); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or participation therein;

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

(b) Capital Adequacy. If any Lender determines that any (i) Change in Law or (ii) compliance with any request from or requirement of any central bank or other fiscal, monetary, or other Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, a request or requirement which affects the manner in which a Lender or any holding company of such Lender is required to or does maintain capital resources relating to such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and to amounts owing to it under this Agreement), shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of a Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.

(c) Mitigation. Each Lender shall promptly (but in any event within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the event giving rise to such right to compensation) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge that will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.09, and will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to it. Any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 2.09 shall furnish to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a copy of the Applicable Law, rule, regulation or directive and a detailed statement executed by an authorized officer of such Lender setting forth the additional amount to be paid to it hereunder, which additional amount shall be conclusive in

 

-23-


the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.09 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than ninety (90) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(d) Right to Replace; Prepay. The Borrower shall have the right to replace each Lender affected by a condition under Section 2.07(c), 2.09(a) or 2.09(b) (each such affected Lender, an “Affected Lender”) with an Eligible Assignee designated by the Borrower or by the Administrative Agent with the other’s consent. Any replacement of a Lender pursuant to this paragraph shall be (i) made by the Eligible Assignee’s and the Affected Lender’s entering into an Assignment and Acceptance and by following the procedures in Section 9.07 for adding a Lender; (ii) shall close within 10 days after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a notice of election to replace such Lender from the Borrower; and (iii) shall only be made upon the Affected Lender’s being paid in full all principal, interest, and other amounts owed to it (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.07(c), 2.08, 2.09(a) or (b), 2.12 or 9.08) as of the effective date of the replacement. The Borrower also may elect to prepay each such Affected Lender; provided that, to the extent required pursuant to Section 2.07(c), such Affected Lender shall promptly be repaid or replaced with an Eligible Assignee pursuant to the terms of and within the time periods provided in Section 2.07(c). Any prepayment of the Loans of an Affected Lender pursuant to this Section shall be (i) with not less than five Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent and each Affected Lender, (ii) for all of the Loans of such Affected Lender then outstanding, together with accrued interest and other amounts owed to it (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.07(c), 2.08, 2.09(a) or (b), 2.12 or 9.08), except to the extent the Borrower prepays the Affected Lender by 11:00 a.m. (New York City, New York time) on the third Business Day following the Borrower’s receipt of notice of a condition that has resulted in a Lender becoming an Affected Lender, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any increased costs pursuant to Section 2.09(a) or 2.09(b), together with its prepayment of such Affected Lender and (iii) made solely to the Affected Lender without regard to Section 2.13 hereof.

Section 2.10. Alternate Rate. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to any Interest Determination Date:

(a) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of “LIBOR” in Section 1.01 are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest on such Interest Determination Date as provided herein; or

(b) the Administrative Agent receives notices (each a “Market Disruption Event Notice”) from the Lenders constituting the Majority Lenders that LIBOR for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost of making, funding or maintaining the Loans (any of the events set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.10, hereinafter a “Market Disruption

 

-24-


Event”); then the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender thereof within three (3) Business Days of the occurrence of such Market Disruption Event and the following provisions shall apply:

(i) During the thirty-day period following the date of any such notice (the “Negotiation Period”), the Lenders and the Borrower will negotiate in good faith for the purpose of agreeing upon an alternative, mutually acceptable basis (the “Substitute Basis”) for determining the rate of interest to be applicable to the Loans, and any other amounts hereunder not paid when due, from time to time and if, at the expiry of the Negotiation Period, the Lenders and the Borrower have agreed upon a Substitute Basis and any required governmental approvals therefor have been obtained, the Substitute Basis shall take effect from such date (including such retroactive date) as the Lenders and the Borrower may in such circumstance agree.

(ii) If, at the expiry of the Negotiation Period, a Substitute Basis shall not have been agreed upon or any required governmental approvals therefor shall not have been obtained, and the Lenders constituting the Majority Lenders shall reasonably determine and individually notify the Administrative Agent in writing by way of an interest-setting notice, such notice to be substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto, that LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding and maintaining the outstanding affected Loans, and any other amounts hereunder not paid when due, for the applicable Interest Period, then, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower of the Majority Lenders’ reasonable determination and the interest payable to the Lenders on the Loans, and such other amounts not paid when due, to which the then current Interest Period applies shall be interest at a rate per annum for such Interest Period equal to the Alternate Rate plus the Applicable Margin. The interest rate determined pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 2.10(b) shall be binding on all of the parties hereto and shall take effect from the date the Administrative Agent so notifies the Borrower and be applied retroactively from the beginning of the then current Interest Period in respect of which the Market Disruption Event occurred.

(iii) The procedures specified in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall apply to each relevant subsequent period succeeding the first such period to which they were applied unless and until the Administrative Agent (acting at the instruction of the Majority Lenders) notifies the Borrower that it has reasonably determined that the applicable Market Disruption Event no longer exists, which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to give (acting at the instruction of the Majority Lenders), and the Lenders agree to request, promptly after the cessation of such Market Disruption Event, whereupon interest on the Loans shall again be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.06, effective commencing on the first day of the next Interest Period immediately succeeding such notice. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees that the identity of any Lender delivering a Market Disruption Event Notice shall at all times be kept confidential by the Administrative Agent and shall not be disclosed to any Person.

Section 2.11. Payments and Computations.

(a) Payments. All payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed in U.S. Dollars, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim.

 

-25-


(b) Payment Procedures. The Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement and the Instruments not later than 12:00 p.m. noon (New York, New York time) on the day when due in U.S. Dollars to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office (or such other location as the Administrative Agent shall designate in writing to the Borrower) in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter, and in any event prior to the close of business on the day any timely payment is made, cause to be distributed (i) like funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees ratably (other than amounts payable solely to the Administrative Agent or a specific Lender pursuant to Section 2.03, 2.07(c), 2.08, 2.09(a) or (b), 2.12, or 9.08) in accordance with each Lender’s Pro Rata Share to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and (ii) like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any particular Lender, to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Computations. All computations of interest shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day, but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest are payable; provided, however, that computations of interest based on clause (a) or (b) of the definition of “Alternate Rate” shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day, but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) Business Day Payments. Whenever any payment shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Loans to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(e) Administrative Agent Reliance. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, but shall not be required to, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for such day.

 

-26-


(f) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans by the Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them; and (ii) each payment of interest on Loans by the Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loan then due and payable to the respective Lenders.

Section 2.12. Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any Credit Obligation hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided, however, that if the Borrower shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions for Indemnified Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12), the applicable Lender Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b) FATCA Deductions.

(i) Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.

(ii) Each Party shall, promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction), and in any case at least three (3) Business Days prior to making a FATCA Deduction, notify the Party to whom it is making the payment and, on or prior to the day on which it notifies that Party, shall also notify the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.12(a), the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender Parties no later than ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.12) paid by any of the Lender Parties or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender Party, and any penalties, interest and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by any other Lender Party on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

-27-


(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, no later than 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.07(d) relating to the maintenance of the Participant Register, (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender and (iv) any FATCA related liability incurred by the Administrative Agent, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.12(d).

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g) Change in Applicable Lending Office. If the Borrower is required to pay any additional amounts in respect of withholding taxes pursuant to this Section 2.12 in excess of the applicable withholding taxes described in Section 4.19, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue; provided that no Lender shall be required to make any such designation if such change, in the judgment of such Lender, is disadvantageous to such Lender. A Lender shall not be required to make any such designation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such designation cease to apply.

(h) Expenses of Change in Applicable Lending Office. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article II relating to the designation by a Lender of a new Applicable Lending Office, no Lender shall be required to make such designation or otherwise have any obligation in respect of such designation if such designation would be disadvantageous to such Lender or would subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation.

(i) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments

 

-28-


to be made without such withholding or at a reduced rate of such withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by U.S. law or requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or U.S. information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.12(j) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

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

(j) FATCA Information

(i) Subject to subparagraph (C) below, each Party shall, within ten (10) Business Days of a reasonable request by another Party:

(A) confirm to that other Party whether it is:

(1) a FATCA Exempt Party; or

(2) not a FATCA Exempt Party;

(B) supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with FATCA;

(C) supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with any other law, regulation, or exchange of information regime.

(ii) If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to subparagraph (i)(A) above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that Party shall notify that other Party reasonably promptly.

(iii) Subparagraph (i) above shall not oblige any Lender to do anything, and subparagraph (i)(C) above shall not oblige any other Party to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

(A) any law or regulation;

(B) any fiduciary duty; or

 

-29-


(C) any duty of confidentiality.

(iv) If a Party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with subparagraph (i)(A) or (B) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (ii) above applies), then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Credit Documents (and payments under them) as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

(v) If any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorization or waiver provided to the Administrative Agent by a Lender pursuant to subparagraph (i) above is or becomes materially inaccurate or incomplete, that Lender shall promptly update it and provide such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorization or waiver to the Administrative Agent unless it is unlawful for the Lender to do so (in which case the Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent). The Administrative Agent shall provide any such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorization or waiver to the Borrower.

(vi) The Administrative Agent may rely on any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorization or waiver it receives from a Lender pursuant to subparagraph (i) or (iv) above without further verification. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with subparagraph (i) or (iv) above.

(k) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Credit Obligations.

Section 2.13. Sharing of Payments, Etc. Except as provided in Sections 2.07(c) and 2.09(d), if any Lender shall obtain any payment or collateral (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) on account of the Loans made by it in excess of its Pro Rata Share of payments or collateral on account of the Loans obtained by all of the Lenders, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and forthwith purchase (for cash at face value) from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of the participation sold by such Lender to the purchasing Lender as a result of such excess payment to (ii) the total amount of such excess payment) of such recovery, together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (A) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to the purchasing Lender to (B) the total amount of all such required repayments to the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender

 

-30-


in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, unless and until rescinded as provided above, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 4.15. Rank of Obligations. The claims of the Lender Parties against the Borrower under this Agreement and each of the Instruments rank at least pari passu in priority of payment and in all other respects with the claims of all its other unsecured and unsubordinated creditors save those whose claims are preferred solely by the laws of Chile relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, or other similar laws of general application in Chile, taxes payable to Governmental Authorities, and wages, salaries and other social security benefits of the employees of the Borrower.

Section 4.16. No Immunity.

The Borrower is permitted under Applicable Law to pay any additional amounts payable under Section 2.12 as will result in receipt by the Lenders of such amounts as would have been received by the Lenders had no such withholding been required.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, JOINT LEAD ARRANGERS AND BOOKRUNNERS

Section 8.01. Appointment, Powers and Immunities. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as its administrative agent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with such powers and discretion as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent (which term as used in this sentence and in Section 8.05 and the first sentence of Section 8.06 shall include its Affiliates and its own and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, and agents): (i) shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and shall not be a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender; (ii) shall not be responsible to the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation, or warranty (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Credit Document or any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, any Credit Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, or sufficiency of any Credit Document, or any other document referred to or provided for therein or for any failure by the Borrower or any other Person to perform any of its obligations thereunder; (iii) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify the performance or observance of any covenants or agreements by the Borrower or the satisfaction of any condition or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; (iv) shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings under any Credit Document; and (v) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with any Credit Document, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment). The Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

Section 8.02. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice, instrument, writing, or other communication (including, without limitation, any thereof by telephone or telecopy) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants, and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat each payee named in any Instrument as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement unless and until the Administrative Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance executed in accordance with Section 9.07. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the

 

-49-


Majority Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding on all of the Lenders; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or Applicable Law or unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking any such action.

Section 8.03. Defaults. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default or any Change of Control unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower specifying such Default or Event of Default or Change of Control and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default or Change of Control, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 8.02) take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default or Change of Control as shall reasonably be directed by the Majority Lenders, provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default or Change of Control as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders.

Section 8.04. Rights as Lender; Related Matters. In the event that a party acting as Administrative Agent and/or as Joint Lead Arranger and Bookrunner is also a Lender, with respect to the Loans made by such party, such party (and any successor acting as both Administrative Agent and a Lender) in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights, powers and obligations hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise such rights, powers and obligations as though it were not acting as the Administrative Agent and/or a Joint Lead Arranger and Bookrunner, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners in their respective individual capacities. Such party acting as Administrative Agent and/or as a Joint Lead Arranger and Bookrunner, as the case may be, and as a Lender (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent and/or as a Joint Lead Arranger and Bookrunner, as the case may be, and a Lender) and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to, make investments in, provide services to, and generally engage in any kind of lending, banking, trust, or other business with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent and/or as a Joint Lead Arranger and Bookrunner, and such party (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent and/or a Joint Lead Arranger and Bookrunner, as the case may be, and a Lender) and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that such party acting as Administrative Agent and/or as a Joint Lead Arranger and Bookrunner, as the case may be, and as a Lender, or its Affiliates, may receive information regarding the Borrower or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower or such Affiliate) pursuant to such activities and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners, or such party acting as Administrative Agent and as a Joint Lead Arranger and Bookrunner, as the case may be, and as a Lender, and its Affiliates, shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. In addition such party acting as Administrative Agent and as a Joint Lead Arranger and Bookrunner, as the case may be, and a Lender, or its Affiliates, may be

 

-50-


engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from, and may conflict with, those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and neither such party acting as Administrative Agent and/or Joint Lead Arranger and Bookrunner, as the case may be, and a Lender, or its Affiliates, has any obligation to disclose any such interest by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship or otherwise.

Section 8.05. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners (to the extent not reimbursed or indemnified under Section 9.08, but without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under such Section) ratably in accordance with their share of the outstanding Loans (determined at the time such indemnity is sought), for any amounts required by Section 9.08 to be paid by the Borrower in connection with any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable costs, expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees), or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent and/or the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners in their capacities as such (including by any Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of any Credit Document or the transactions contemplated thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent and/or by the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners under any Credit Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners promptly upon demand for its ratable share (determined at the time such indemnity is sought) of any costs or expenses payable by the Borrower under Section 9.05, to the extent that such Administrative Agent and/or such Joint Lead Arranger and Bookrunner are not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower; provided, however that upon recovery of any or all of such costs and expenses by the Administrative Agent and/or the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and/or the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners shall remit to each Lender its ratable share of such amounts so recovered. The agreements contained in this Section shall survive payment in full of the Loans and all other amounts payable under this Agreement.

Section 8.06. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Borrower and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent has not rendered, and shall not render, any tax advice in connection with this Agreement, any of the Credit Documents, and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. No Credit Document, nor any notice, report or other document in respect thereof furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent, shall be considered as to render or provide any Lender Party with tax advice. Except for notices, reports, and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, or business of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.

 

-51-


Section 8.07. Resignation and Removal of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may be removed at any time upon the written request of the Majority Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent with, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the written consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring or removed Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent; provided, however, that the Borrower shall have approved the same (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents. The successor Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of its appointment and confirm its acceptance of all responsibilities under this Agreement. After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

Nothing in this clause (c) shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to deliver any Approved Electronic Communication to the Borrower in any manner authorized in this Agreement or to request that the Borrower effect delivery in such manner.

 

-53-


Section 9.03. Posting of Approved Electronic Communications.

(a) Each of the Lenders and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic Communications available to the Lenders by posting such Approved Electronic Communications on IntraLinks™ or a substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).

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

(c) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OTHER MEMBER OF THE AGENT’S GROUP WARRANTS THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR ANY LEAD ARRANGER IN CONNECTION WITH THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.

(d) Each of the Lenders, the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners and the Borrower agree that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by Applicable Law) shall not be obligated to, store the Approved Electronic Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies.

Section 9.04. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any Instrument shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

 

-54-


Section 9.05. Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall: (i) pay on behalf of, or reimburse the Administrative Agent on demand for, all of its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, negotiation, preparation and execution of the Credit Documents and any other documents prepared in connection therewith, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the syndication by the Administrative Agent of the Loans, including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of special New York counsel and special Chilean counsel to the Administrative Agent (subject to any fee limitations agreed to in writing with the Administrative Agent); (ii) pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of its reasonable costs and expenses in connection with any amendment, supplement or modification to the Credit Documents and any other documents prepared in connection therewith, including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of special New York counsel and special Chilean counsel to the Administrative Agent; and (iii) pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under any Credit Document, and any such other documents, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel to each Lender and of counsel to the Administrative Agent. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 9.05 shall survive the payment in full of the Loans and all other amounts payable under this Agreement.

Section 9.06. Binding Effect. Except as provided in Article III, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and when the Administrative Agent shall have, as to each Lender, received a counterpart of this Agreement executed by such Lender and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign any rights or delegate any duties under this Agreement or any interest in this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender.

Section 9.07. Lender Assignments and Participations.

(a) Assignments. Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Instruments (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Loans) with at least five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that

(i) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee;

(ii) except in the case of an assignment to another Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, any such partial assignment shall be in an amount equal to at least U.S.$2,500,000 and in integral multiples of U.S.$1,000,000 in excess thereof;

(iii) each such assignment by a Lender shall be of a constant, and not varying, percentage of all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Instruments (other than rights of reimbursement and indemnity arising before the effective date of such assignment); and

 

-55-


(iv) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance an Assignment and Acceptance in substantially the form of the attached Exhibit A. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee and, except in the case of an assignment by a Lender to its Affiliate, a processing fee of U.S.$3,500 paid by the assigning Lender or the Eligible Assignee, the Administrative Agent shall (A) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (B) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.

Upon execution, delivery, and acceptance of such Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the processing fee, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of such assignment, have the obligations, rights, and benefits of a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that the assigning Lender shall retain the indemnification and reimbursement to which it was entitled prior to the effective date of the assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay to any assignee Lender any amount in respect of increased costs that is greater than the amount the Borrower would have been obligated to pay such assignee Lender’s assignor if such assignee Lender’s assignor had not assigned to such assignee Lender, unless at the time such assignment is made: (1) the circumstances giving rise to such greater payments did not exist or (2) the Borrower consents to such greater obligation. As appropriate, each assignee shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent any certifications required by Section 2.12.

(b) The Register. The Administrative Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, each Instrument and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(c) Procedures. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the parties thereto and payment of the processing fee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit A, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the parties thereto and to the Borrower. Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent all such other documents, instruments and agreements, including, but not limited to, a new Recognition of Debt, substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2, and take all such other actions as may be reasonably required to perfect this assignment. When a Lender assigns to an assignee only part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and such part is in respect of a principal amount of the Loans which is evidenced by the New Recognition of Debt, the Borrower shall issue one or more replacement Recognitions of Debt or a new Recognition of Debt, as the case may be, substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2, in favor of the relevant Lender and the assignee.

 

-56-


(d) Participations. Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Loans); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to this Agreement for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participant shall be entitled to the benefit of the yield protection provisions contained in Sections 2.08, 2.09, 2.10 and 2.12, the right of set-off contained in Section 7.05, and the reporting requirements contained in Section 5.05; provided, that no participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.08 or 2.09, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation, and (iv) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to its Loans and its rights under any Instrument and to approve any amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications, or waivers decreasing the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on such Loans, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on such Loans). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the 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 the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Loan or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Federal Reserve Bank or Central Bank. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or central bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(f) Confidentiality. Any Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), subject, however, to the provisions of Section 9.09.

 

-57-


Section 9.08. Indemnity by Borrower; Waiver of Consequential Damages.

(a) The Borrower agrees to indemnify, save, and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, and the directors, officers, employees, attorneys, consultants and advisors of or to any of the foregoing (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against: (i) any and all claims, demands, actions, or causes of action (except for a claim, demand, action or cause of action for taxes on an Indemnitees’ income) if the claim, demand, action, or cause of action arises out of or relates to any act or omission (or alleged act or omission) of the Borrower or its Affiliates relating to the use or contemplated use of proceeds of any Loan, or the relationship among any of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners and the Lenders under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance of the obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby); (ii) any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Authority arising out of or related to a claim, demand, action, or cause of action described in subsection (i) above; and (iii) any and all liabilities, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action, or cause of action thereto; provided that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for (x) any loss caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or (y) as a result from a claim brought by the Borrower against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Credit Document (in each case, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The Borrower shall not be responsible for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct, or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

Section 9.09. Confidentiality; K-Y-C Rules.

(a) Except as otherwise consented to by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to keep confidential any information furnished or made available to it by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement that is marked confidential; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners from placing “tombstone” advertisements in financial and other newspapers and journals or the Administrative Agent or any Lender from disclosing such information (i) to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including, without limitation, the head office of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any of their respective Subsidiaries or Subsidiaries of their respective holding company, Affiliates, representatives and branch offices in any jurisdiction), as the case may be, or any

 

-58-


officer, director, employee, agent, auditor or advisor of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender (collectively, the “Permitted Parties”), provided that the Permitted Parties agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms hereof, (ii) to professional advisers and service providers of the Permitted Parties who are under a duty of confidentiality to the Permitted Parties, (iii) subject to provisions substantially similar to those contained in this Section, to any other Person if reasonably incidental to the administration of the credit facility provided herein, (iv) as required by any law, rule, or regulation, (v) upon the order of any court or tribunal, administrative agency, or regulatory, supervisory, governmental or quasi-governmental authority with jurisdiction over the Permitted Parties, (vi) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority, (vii) that is or becomes available to the public or that is or becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender other than as a result of a disclosure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender prohibited by this Agreement, (viii) in connection with any litigation to which the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any of its Affiliates may be a party, (ix) to the extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedy under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (x) subject to provisions substantially similar to those contained in this Section, to any actual or proposed participant or assignee (or any agent or adviser of any of the foregoing), and (xi) any rating agency, insurer or insurance broker of, or direct or indirect provider of credit protection to any Permitted Party.

(b) Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act or other applicable know-your-customer directives, laws, rules or regulations, it may be required to obtain, verify and record, in accordance therewith, information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower. The Borrower hereby agrees to provide to any Lender any of the foregoing information that such Lender is so required to obtain, verify or record.

Section 9.10. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties to this Agreement in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of counterparts hereto via telecopier shall be as effective as delivery of original counterparts.

Section 9.11. Survival of Representations, etc. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or made in writing by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Credit Documents, the making of the Loans and any investigation made by or on behalf of the Lenders, none of which investigations shall diminish any Lender’s right to rely on such representations and warranties. All obligations of the Borrower provided for in Sections 2.08, 2.09, 2.12, 9.05, 9.08, 9.14 and 9.15 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and repayment in full of the other Credit Obligations.

-59-


Section 9.13. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Section 9.14. Consent to Jurisdiction; Language. THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY NEW YORK STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, THE CITY OF NEW YORK, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY INSTRUMENT, OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, AND THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH COURT. THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING. THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY APPOINTS ITAÚ CORPBANCA NEW YORK BRANCH (THE “PROCESS AGENT”), WITH AN OFFICE ON THE DATE HEREOF AT 767 FIFTH AVENUE, 50TH FLOOR, NEW YORK, NY 10153, AS ITS AGENT TO RECEIVE ON BEHALF OF THE BORROWER AND ITS PROPERTY SERVICE OF COPIES OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT AND ANY OTHER PROCESS WHICH MAY BE SERVED BY ANY LENDER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR THE HOLDER OF ANY INSTRUMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING. THE BORROWER HEREBY AGREES THAT SERVICE OF COPIES OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT AND ANY OTHER PROCESS WHICH MAY BE SERVED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE MADE BY MAILING OR DELIVERING A COPY OF SUCH PROCESS TO THE BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 9.02 OR TO THE PROCESS AGENT AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH ABOVE. THE BORROWER AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHTS OF ANY LENDER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY LENDER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE ENGLISH.

Section 9.15. Currency Indemnity.

(a) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender receives an amount in respect of the Borrower’s liability under this Agreement, or if that liability is converted into a claim, proof, judgment, or order, in a currency other than the currency (the “Contractual Currency”) in which the amount is expressed to be payable under this Agreement:

(i) the Borrower will indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender as an independent obligation against any loss or liability arising out of or as result of such conversion or the receipt of an amount in a currency other than the Contractual Currency;

 

-60-


(ii) if the amount received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender when converted into the Contractual Currency at a market rate in the usual course of its business, is less than the amount owed in the Contractual Currency, the Borrower will forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent or such Lender an amount in the Contractual Currency equal to the deficit; if it is more, the receiving Administrative Agent or Lender will forthwith on demand pay to the Borrower an amount in the Contractual Currency equal to the excess; and

(iii) the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent or such Lender concerned forthwith on demand any exchange cost and Taxes and Other Taxes payable in connection with any such conversion or the receipt of an amount in a currency other than the Contractual Currency.

(b) The Borrower waives any right it might have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under this Agreement in a currency other than that in which it is expressed to be payable.

Section 9.16. International Banking Facility. Each Lender may book extensions of credit hereunder on the books and records of its international banking facility, which will constitute an extension of credit within the meaning of Section 204.8(a)(3) of Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Regulation D”). Accordingly, pursuant to Regulation D, the Borrower acknowledges that the Lenders have notified the Borrower that it is the policy of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System that extensions of credit by international banking facilities may be used only to finance operations outside the United States of the Borrower or of its Affiliates located outside the United States. The Borrower hereby agrees to comply with such policy.

Section 9.17. Complete Agreement. THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DETERMINED SOLELY FROM THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT, AND ANY PRIOR ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES ARE SUPERSEDED BY AND MERGED INTO THIS AGREEMENT. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT AND THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS, AS DEFINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

Section 9.18. Waiver of Jury. THE BORROWER AND EACH OF THE LENDER PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY RELATING HERETO OR THERETO. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE LENDER PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 9.19. Waiver of Immunities. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, if the Borrower has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process

 

-61-


(whether service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, the Borrower hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of its obligations under any Credit Document. The Borrower agrees that the foregoing waiver shall have the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States of America and is intended to be irrevocable and not subject to withdrawal for purposes of such Act.

Section 9.20. No Novation. This Agreement shall not effect a novation of any of the obligations under the Existing Credit Agreements, which obligations continue in full force and effect as set forth therein, as amended and restated hereby; provided that following the Closing Date, the New Recognition of Debt replaces and supersedes the Existing Recognition of Debt under each of the Existing Credit Agreements.

Section 9.21. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Section 9.22. Sanctions Provisions. Each Sanctions Provision shall only be applicable for the benefit of German Lenders to the extent that such Sanctions Provision would not result in: (a) any violation of, conflict with or liability under EU Regulation (EC) 2271/96; (b) a violation or conflict with section 7 foreign trade rules (AWV) (Außenwirtschaftsverordnung) (in connection with section 4 paragraph 1 no 3 foreign trade law (AWG) (Außenwirtschaftsgesetz)); or (c) a similar anti-boycott statute.
