SENIOR INDEMNITY, SUBROGATION and CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT dated as of June 27, 2001, as amended and restated as of May 28, 2003 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), among RITE AID CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), each subsidiary of the Borrower listed on Schedule I hereto (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), CITICORP NORTH AMERICA, INC., a Delaware corporation (“CNAI’), as senior collateral processing co-agent and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, a New York banking corporation (“JPMCB”), as senior collateral processing co-agent (each, in such capacity, a “Senior Collateral Agent”, and collectively, the “Senior Collateral Agents”) for the Senior Secured Parties.

 

Reference is made to (a) the Senior Credit Agreement dated as of June 27, 2001, as amended and restated as of May 28, 2003 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Senior Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Senior Lenders”), CNAI, as administrative agent for the Senior Lenders and JPMCB, as syndication agent for the Senior Lenders and (b) the Senior Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement dated as of June 27, 2001, as amended and restated as of May 28, 2003 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Senior Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement”) among the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Senior Collateral Agents. Reference is also made to the Senior Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement dated as of June 27, 2001 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the Restatement Effective Date, the “Original Senior Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement”) among the Borrower, each subsidiary of the Borrower listed on Schedule I thereto and the subsidiaries of the Borrower that became parties thereto as provided in Section 12 thereof (collectively, the “Original Subsidiary Guarantors”) and Citicorp USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as senior collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Original Senior Collateral Agent”). The Original Subsidiary Guarantors and the Original Senior Collateral Agent now wish to amend and restate the Original Senior Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement in its entirety as set forth herein. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Definitions Annex, attached as Annex 2 hereto (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), and if not defined therein, as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement.

 

The Senior Lenders have agreed to make Loans to the Borrower, and the Issuing Banks have agreed to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower, pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in, the Senior Credit Agreement. The Subsidiary Guarantors have guaranteed such Loans and the other Senior Obligations of the Borrower pursuant to the Senior Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement and certain Subsidiary Guarantors have granted Liens on and security interests in certain of their assets to secure such

 



 

guarantees. The obligations of the Senior Lenders to make Loans and of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit are conditioned on, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors of an agreement in the form hereof.

 

Accordingly, the Borrower, each Subsidiary Guarantor and the Senior Collateral Agents agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1. Indemnity and Subrogation. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Subsidiary Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 3), the Borrower agrees that (a) in the event a payment shall be made by any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Senior Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement, the Borrower shall indemnify such Subsidiary Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (b) in the event and to the extent any assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to any Senior Collateral Document to satisfy a claim of any Senior Secured Party, the Borrower shall indemnify such Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value and the fair market value of the assets so sold.

 

SECTION 2. Contribution and Subrogation. Each Subsidiary Guarantor (a “Contributing Subsidiary Guarantor”) agrees (subject to Section 3) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Subsidiary Guarantor under the Senior Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement or assets of any other Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to any Senior Collateral Document to satisfy a claim of any Senior Secured Party and such other Subsidiary Guarantor (the “Claiming Subsidiary Guarantor”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the Borrower as provided in Section 1, the Contributing Subsidiary Guarantor shall indemnify the Claiming Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to the amount of such payment or the greater of the book value and the fair market value of such assets, as the case may be, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Subsidiary Guarantor on May 28, 2003 (or, in the case of any Subsidiary Guarantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 12 after such date, the date of the Supplement hereto executed and delivery by such Subsidiary Guarantor) and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Subsidiary Guarantors on May 28, 2003 (or, in the case of any Subsidiary Guarantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 12 after such date, the date of the Supplement hereto executed and delivered by such Subsidiary Guarantor). Any Contributing Subsidiary Guarantor making any payment to a Claiming Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to this Section 2 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Subsidiary Guarantor under Section 1 to the extent of such payment.

 

SECTION 3. Subordination. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Subsidiary Guarantors under Sections 1 and 2 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Senior Obligations. No failure on the part of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor to make the payments required by Sections 1 and 2 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

 



 

SECTION 4. Termination. This Agreement shall survive and be in full force and effect so long as any Senior Obligation is outstanding and has not been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, and so long as the LC Exposure has not been reduced to zero and any of the Commitments under the Senior Credit Agreement have not been terminated, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Senior Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Senior Secured Party or any Subsidiary Guarantor upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise.

 

SECTION 5. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

SECTION 6. No Waiver; Amendment. (a) No failure on the part of either Senior Collateral Agent or any Subsidiary Guarantor to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy by either Senior Collateral Agent or any Subsidiary Guarantor preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law. None of the Senior Collateral Agents and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be deemed to have waived any rights hereunder unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by such parties.

 

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Senior Collateral Agents, with the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, except as otherwise provided in the Senior Credit Agreement or the Collateral Trust and Intercreditor Agreement.

 

SECTION 7. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in the Senior Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement and addressed as specified therein.

 

SECTION 8. Binding Agreement; Assignments. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party, and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the parties that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary Guarantor may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder (and any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be void) without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the time any Subsidiary Guarantor is released from its obligations under the Senior Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement in accordance with such Senior Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement and the Senior Credit Agreement, such Subsidiary Guarantor will automatically cease to have any rights or obligations under this Agreement.

 

SECTION 9. Survival of Agreement; Severability. (a) All covenants and agreements made by the Borrower and each other Obligor herein and in the certificates or other

 



 

instruments prepared or delivered in connection with this Agreement or any other Senior Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Senior Collateral Agents, the other Senior Secured Parties and each Subsidiary Guarantor and shall survive the making by the Senior Lenders of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit by the Issuing Banks, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loans or any other fee or amount payable under the Senior Credit Agreement or this Agreement or under any of the other Senior Loan Documents is outstanding and unpaid or the LC Exposure does not equal zero and as long as all of the Commitments have not been terminated.

 

(b) In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, no party hereto shall be required to comply with such provision for so long as such provision is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

 

SECTION 10. Counterparts. 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 shall be effective with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor when a counterpart bearing the signature of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall have been delivered to the Senior Collateral Agents. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

 

SECTION 11. Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation specified in Section 1.03 of the Senior Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement.

 

SECTION 12. Additional Subsidiary Guarantors. Pursuant to Section 5.11 of the Senior Credit Agreement, each wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary of the Borrower that was not in existence on the Restatement Effective Date is required to enter into the Senior Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement as a Subsidiary Guarantor upon becoming a wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary. Upon execution and delivery, after the Restatement Effective Date, by the Senior Collateral Agents and such a Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Annex 1 hereto, such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Subsidiary Guarantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Subsidiary Guarantor as a party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (i) no Domestic Subsidiary listed on Schedule 5.11 to the Senior Credit Agreement shall be required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor and (ii) no Domestic Subsidiary shall be required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor unless and until such time as such Subsidiary has assets in excess of $1,000,000 or acquires

 



 

assets in excess of $1,000,000 or has revenue in excess of $1,000,000 or has revenue in excess of $500,000 per annum.
