CUSIP No. 55304X 20 3    SCHEDULE 13D/A    Page 7 of 11 Pages

 

This Amendment No. 9 to Schedule 13D amends the Statement on Schedule 13D (the “Statement”) filed by Frank Stronach (“Mr. Stronach”), on September 8, 2003, as previously amended, with respect to the Class B Voting Shares (the “Class B Shares”) of MI Developments Inc., an Ontario, Canada corporation (the “Company”). This Amendment No. 9 is being filed to report that Magna Entertainment Corp. (“MEC”) and certain of its subsidiaries have filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware and that in connection therewith, among other things, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, has agreed to provide a six-month secured debtor-in-possession financing facility to MEC in the amount of $62.5 million.

 

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This Statement on Schedule 13D relates to the Class B Shares. The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 455 Magna Drive, Aurora, Ontario, Canada, L4G 7K1 7A9.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background.

This Statement is being filed by Mr. Stronach, the Stronach Trust, 445327 Ontario Limited (“445327”), Fair Enterprise Limited (“Fair Enterprise”) and Bergenie Anstalt (“Bergenie”) (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

Item 4 is amended by adding the following:

MEC and certain of its subsidiaries have filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. In connection therewith, among other things, the Company has entered into an agreement with MEC and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Purchase Agreement”) to purchase certain of the MEC’s interests associated with the following assets: Golden Gate Fields; Gulfstream Park, including the Company ‘s interest in The Village at Gulfstream Park (a joint venture with Forest City); Palm Meadows Training Center and excess lands; Lone Star Park; AmTote International; XpressBet™; and a holdback note associated with the Company’s sale of The Meadows. The Company’s aggregate offer price for the assets is $195 million, with $136 million to be satisfied through a credit bid using the Company’s existing loans to MEC, $44 million in cash and assumption of a $15 million capital lease. Under the Purchase Agreement, MEC will seek Bankruptcy Court approval of a process to market these and all other MEC assets, and the Company’s offer may be topped by third parties during this auction process. The Company will not receive any termination fees if MEC sells any assets to a third party, but may receive reimbursement for certain expenses. The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement, which is filed as Exhibit B hereto, and which is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the press release announcing the execution of the Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit D hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference.

If the Company acquires non-racing real estate assets from MEC in the Chapter 11 auction process, the Company intends to retain and develop these assets. All horse racing or gaming assets would be segregated from the Company’s real estate business and held in one or more new wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (“Raceco”). Subject to the outcome of the Chapter 11 auction process, (a) the Company would retain the lands at Golden Gate Fields and Gulfstream Park, the interest in The Village at Gulfstream Park joint venture, and The Meadows holdback note, and (b) Raceco would lease the racing and gaming facilities at Gulfstream Park and Golden Gate Fields from the Company pursuant to triple net leases at fair market rent and would own the relevant interests in Lone Star Park, AmTote International and XpressBet™. If the Company acquires the Golden Gate Fields property, it intends to immediately commence seeking all required approvals to develop the property for commercial real estate uses. Racing at Golden Gate Fields would cease prior to commencement of construction on the rezoned property.

On closing of the asset purchases pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company would agree that, without the prior approval of a majority of the votes of minority holders of the Company’s Class A Shares, it would not (a) make any further debt or equity investment in, or otherwise give financial assistance to, Raceco or (b) enter into any transactions with, or provide any services or personnel to, Raceco, except for (i) the triple net leases referred to above and (ii) limited administrative and office services. The Company would also agree not to enter into any transactions in the horseracing or gaming business except through Raceco.

By December 31, 2011, the Company would either (a) if Raceco were pro forma profitable and self-sustaining, sell it or spin it off to its shareholders, or (b) otherwise, cease racing and gaming operations at Raceco and either sell or develop all of Raceco’s remaining assets.

The Company has not made an offer to purchase any other assets of MEC at this time, although the Company will continue to evaluate whether to do so during the course of the Chapter 11 process. There cannot be any assurance that any transactions of any kind will occur.


CUSIP No. 55304X 20 3    SCHEDULE 13D/A    Page 8 of 11 Pages

 

None of the Reporting Persons currently has plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the consequences listed in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the Special Instructions for Complying with Schedule 13D except as set forth herein. Each of the Reporting Persons intends to evaluate on an ongoing basis its investment in the Company and its options with respect to such investment. As a result of such evaluation, one or more of the Reporting Persons may make suggestions or adopt positions with respect to one or more of the transactions specified in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the Special Instructions for Complying with Schedule 13D. Furthermore, Mr. Stronach may, in his capacity as Chairman of the Company or otherwise, communicate with the Company’s management, directors, shareholders and other parties with respect to such transactions.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a) The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own Class B Shares as follows:

 

   

Mr. Stronach does not hold any Class B Shares directly. Mr. Stronach may be deemed to beneficially own 363,414 Class B Shares held by 445327 and 20,000 Class B Shares by Fair Enterprise, representing 70.0% of the Class B Shares in the aggregate.

 

   

The Stronach Trust does not hold any Class B Shares directly. The Stronach Trust and 445327 may each be deemed to beneficially own 363,414 Class B Shares held by 445327, representing 64.4% of the Class B Shares.

 

   

Bergenie does not hold any Class B Shares directly. Bergenie and Fair Enterprise may each be deemed to beneficially own 20,000 Class B Shares held by Fair Enterprise, representing 3.7% of the Class B Shares.

The Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a group with respect to the acquisition, holding, voting and disposition of Class B Shares beneficially owned by each Reporting Person. The filing of this amendment shall not be construed as an admission that such a group exists or that any Reporting Person beneficially owns any Class B Shares that are held or beneficially owned by any other Reporting Person. Furthermore, each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the Class B Shares beneficially owned by (i) the Magna Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (Canada) (55,797 shares as of January 31, 2009) and (ii) 865714 Ontario Inc., an entity that was incorporated to provide a continuing separate vehicle for the acquisition of capital stock of Magna International Inc. and its affiliates and the sale thereof to the management team of Magna International Inc. (45,870 shares as of the filing date). Without limitation of the foregoing, each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such Class B Shares for purposes other than U.S. securities law purposes. Such shares have been excluded from the above calculations.

 

(b) Mr. Stronach, Bergenie and Fair Enterprise may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power over the Class B Shares held by Fair Enterprise. Each other Reporting Person may be deemed to have sole voting and dispositive power over the Class B Shares held by such Reporting Person.

 

(c) There have been no transactions in the Company’s shares by the Reporting Persons, or, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, by the persons listed in Schedule A during the past sixty days.

 

(d) No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Class B Shares reflected on the cover pages to this Statement.

 

(e) Not applicable.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of Issuer

The Company is the largest secured creditor of MEC. The current balance of the Company’s existing loans to MEC, including accrued interest, is approximately $372 million, comprised of $171 million under project financing relating to MEC’s Gulfstream Park project, $23 million under project financing relating to MEC’s Remington Park project, $125 million under a bridge loan provided in September 2007, and $53 million under a loan provided in December 2008. All of these loans are secured.

The Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, has agreed to provide a six-month secured debtor-in-possession financing facility to MEC (the “DIP Facility”) in the amount of $62.5 million. A portion of the DIP Financing will be used to fund interest payments to secured creditors, including the Company. If approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the DIP Financing, combined with MEC’s cash flows from operations, should enable MEC to continue to satisfy its obligations associated with the ongoing operations of its business, including payment of employee wages and benefits in the ordinary course, and payment of post-petition obligations to vendors. The terms of the DIP Facility contemplate that MEC will sell all its assets through an auction process and use the proceeds from the asset sales to repay its creditors. The DIP Facility will be secured by liens on substantially all assets of MEC, as well as a pledge of capital stock of certain guarantors.

The foregoing description of the DIP Facility is qualified in its entirety by reference to such facility, which is filed as Exhibit C hereto, and which is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the press release announcing the execution of the DIP Facility is filed as Exhibit D hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference.

The MID Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties on the 30th day following delivery thereof, unless MEC gives written notice of its disagreement with the MID Statement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to MID before such date. Any Notice of Disagreement shall (i) specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted and (ii) only include disagreements based on mathematical errors or based on the Closing Date Working Capital not being calculated in accordance with this Section 2.5.

During the 30-day period following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, MID and MEC shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any

 

-14-


differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement.

The cost of any arbitration (including the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm and reasonable attorney fees and expenses of the parties) pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be borne by MID and MEC in inverse proportion as they may prevail on matters resolved by the Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocations shall also be determined by the Accounting Firm at the time the determination of the Accounting Firm is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted.

-15-


(e) if, after Closing, the Purchaser wishes to discontinue any realty tax appeal or reassessment in respect of realty taxes paid or payable for the Lands (and any other lands purchased directly by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.9 or an Alternative Transaction as contemplated by Section 2.8) during the period (or portion thereof) ending on the day preceding the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall give notice to the Sellers and if requested by the Sellers, the Purchaser shall re-assign to the Sellers all the Purchaser’s right, title and benefit to such appeals and reassessments with a direction to the municipality to pay any resulting Tax Refund to the Sellers, and the Purchaser shall cease to have any right in the Tax Refund.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Sellers pursue any realty tax appeals and/or reassessments in respect of the Lands (and any other lands purchased directly by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.9 or an Alternative Transaction as contemplated by Section 2.8) on or after the Closing Date, any Tax Refund received by the Sellers in connection with such appeals and/or reassessments that relate to the period (or portion thereof) ending on the day preceding the Closing Date shall be for the account of the Sellers. To the extent the Sellers receive any Tax Refund in connection with such appeals and/or reassessments that relate to the period (or portion thereof) from and after the Closing Date, the Sellers shall hold such Tax Refund in trust for the Purchaser and shall promptly after receipt thereof pay to the Purchaser the amount of such Tax Refund, after deducting a pro rata portion of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Sellers in connection with such appeal or reassessment. In the case of any taxation period that includes the Closing Date, the realty taxes and refunds thereof attributable to the Lands (and any other lands purchased directly by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.9 or an Alternative Transaction as contemplated by Section 2.8) shall be allocated between the period ending on the day preceding the Closing Date and the period from and after the Closing Date on a per diem basis.

Section 2.7. Assumption of Liabilities. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall assume certain obligations and liabilities of the Sellers, to the extent but only to the extent as set forth on Exhibit D hereto, as and when such Assumed Liabilities shall become due and payable pursuant to the terms of the documents pursuant to which such Assumed Liabilities were created, including, to the extent set forth on Exhibit D, the payment of all amounts necessary to cure any monetary defaults in respect of such Assumed Liabilities. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, on the Closing Date, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Sale Order, the Sellers shall be relieved of any liability with respect to such Assumed Liabilities.

Section 2.8. Tax Reorganization. In the event that the Purchaser concludes that it is necessary or desirable to proceed with another form of transaction whereby the Purchaser would effectively acquire all of the Purchased Assets and/or the assets of the Purchased Companies (including the direct purchase by the Purchaser of certain lands and/or assets from the Purchased Companies or their subsidiaries or the conversion of any Purchased Company into a limited liability company by merger or otherwise) on economic terms having consequences to the Sellers which are equivalent to or better than those contemplated by this Agreement (an “Alternative Transaction”), the Sellers agree to complete such Alternative Transaction in the same manner as the Transaction, to amend such provisions of this Agreement as are necessary to achieve such results and shall otherwise fulfill its covenants contained in

this Agreement in respect of such Alternative Transaction. The Sellers shall cooperate with the Purchaser in its consideration of any possible Alternative Transaction to the extent reasonably requested, including by providing the Purchaser with reasonable access to information, records, documents, properties and personnel after reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours.

Section 2.9. Alternative Asset Purchase.

All payments in respect of the DIP Credit Commitment (in respect of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) shall be made by the Borrower to the Lender no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the due date thereof to the account specified therefor by the Lender from time to time. Any payments received after such time shall be considered for all purposes as having been made on the next following Banking Day unless the Lender otherwise agrees in writing. All payments shall be made by way of immediately available funds.

 

2.8 Tax Matters

(a) Each party to this Agreement agrees to treat the DIP Credit Commitment as debt for all tax purposes. All payments made by, or on account of any obligation of, the Borrower pursuant to the DIP Credit Commitment shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, excluding (i) net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Lender and the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or receive a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement), (ii) any branch profits tax under the Internal Revenue Code, and (iii) any United States withholding tax that is attributable to the Lender’s failure to comply with Section 2.8(b). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Lender hereunder, (i) the amounts so payable to the Lender shall be increased as necessary so that after making all such required withholdings and deductions in respect of any such Non-Excluded Taxes, and all payments of, or (if not yet paid) liability for, any such assessments or levies in respect of any such Non-Excluded Taxes, in each case including Non-Excluded Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.8, the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholdings, deductions, assessments or levies been made and (ii) the Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable laws. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Lender a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the DIP Credit Commitment.

 

31


(b) The Lender (including any assignee) shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date a payment is to be made to the Lender under this Agreement or promptly upon learning that any documentation described in this section expired or became obsolete, at the reasonable written request of the Borrower, two accurate and complete duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8BEN, as applicable, or any successor applicable form.

(c) The DIP Liens and the Lender’s administrative claims under Sections 364(c)(l) and 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code afforded the Obligations shall also have priority over any claims arising under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code subject and subordinate only to the following (hereafter referred to as the “Carve-Out Expenses”): (x) fees and disbursements incurred and allowed on and after the Petition Date by professionals retained by the Borrower and the Guarantors, the Committee and any statutorily mandated costs and fees of the United States Trustee with respect to the Chapter 11 Cases, up to a maximum aggregate amount not to exceed $4,500,000 and (y) fees pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930; such dollar amount being referred to herein as the “Carve-Out Amount”) (determined without regard to fees and expenses which may be awarded and paid on an interim basis or any Pre-Petition retainer paid to the Borrower’s or Committee’s counsel in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases), provided , that the Carve-Out Expenses shall not include any other claims that are or may be senior to or pari passu with any of the Carve-Out Expenses or any professional fees and expenses of a Chapter 7 trustee and, provided , further , that Carve-Out Expenses shall not include any fees or disbursements arising after the conversion of the Chapter 11 Case to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. Except as set forth herein or in the Final Order, no other claim having a priority superior or pari passu to that granted to the Lender by the Final Order shall be granted or approved while any Obligations under this Agreement remain outstanding. Except for the Carve-Out Expenses up to the Carve-Out

(p) Payment of Taxes. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries shall:

 

  (i) pay and discharge all Taxes, duties, assessments and other liabilities payable by the Borrower or such Subsidiary;

 

  (ii) withhold and collect all Taxes required to be withheld and collected by it and remit such Taxes to the appropriate Governmental Body at the time and in the manner required; and

(q) Tax Deposits. Upon written direction from the Lender and after approval of and pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court after notice and hearing, after the occurrence of an Default or an Event of Default which remains uncured, the Borrower shall immediately commence to deposit with the Lender commencing with the first interest payment due under the DIP Credit Commitment and on the first day of each month thereafter until the earlier of (i) the date that the Indebtedness is fully paid and (ii) the Default or Event of Default has been cured, a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total annual taxes and assessments (general and special) respecting each of any owned or leased real property and the costs of insurance premiums, based upon the Lender’s reasonable estimate as to the amount of the taxes, assessments and premiums to be levied, assessed and incurred (except to the extent, and only to the extent, that, in respect of the Golden Gate Property and/or the Santa Anita Property, the Borrower or any Guarantor is making such payments to BMO and/or Wells Fargo, as the case may be, pursuant to the BMO Credit Agreement and/or the Santa Anita Senior Credit Facility). The Borrower’s initial deposit shall be increased by an amount equal to the Lender’s reasonable estimate of the amount of such taxes and insurance premiums to become owing on the due dates for the payment of such taxes and insurance premiums less the monthly payments to be deposited hereunder prior to such due dates. If any such taxes or insurance premiums relating to each of any owned or leased real property are also related to other premises, the amount of any deposit hereunder shall be based upon the Borrower’s and/or any Guarantor’s share of the taxes, assessments or insurance premiums, the Borrower shall apportion the total amount of the taxes, assessments or premiums levied or assessed as between such other premises and each of any owned or leased real property for the purposes of computing the amount of any deposit hereunder. Such deposits shall be held without any allowance of interest. Such deposits shall be used for the payment of such taxes, assessments and insurance premiums on each of any owned or leased real property on the earliest possible date when such payments become due. If the funds so deposited are insufficient to pay any such taxes, assessments and insurance premiums for any year when the same shall become due and payable, the Borrower shall, within 10 Banking Days after receipt of demand therefor from the Lender, deposit such additional funds as may be necessary to pay such taxes, assessments and insurance premiums in full. If the funds so deposited exceed the amount required to pay such taxes, assessments and insurance premiums for the year, the excess shall be applied on a subsequent deposit or deposits. Said deposits shall be kept in a separate, non-interest bearing account created by and in the name of the Lender. Upon the occurrence of an Default or an Event of Default, the Lender may, at its option, without being required to do so, apply any monies at the time on deposit pursuant to this Section 7.1(q) on any of the Indebtedness, in such order and manner as the Lender may elect. When the Indebtedness has been fully paid, any remaining deposits shall be paid to the Borrower. A security interest within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the state in which the Borrower is organized as a legal entity is hereby granted to the Lender in and to any monies at any time on deposit pursuant to this Section 7.1(q), as additional security for the Indebtedness. Such funds shall be applied by the Lender for the purposes made hereunder and shall not be subject to the direction or control of the

 

54


Borrower. The Lender shall not be liable for any failure to apply the funds so deposited hereunder to the payment of any particular taxes, assessments and insurance premiums unless the Borrower, while not in default hereunder, shall have requested the Lender in writing to make application of such funds to the payment of the particular taxes, assessments or premiums for payment of which they were deposited, accompanied by the bills for such taxes, assessments or premiums.

(t) Defense of Collateral. The Borrower and the Guarantors shall pay when due all Post-Petition obligations, lawful claims or demands with respect to each of any owned or leased real property which, if unpaid, might result in, or permit the creation of, any Lien on such property senior or pari passu to the DIP Lien, including but not limited to all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies; provided that the Borrower or the applicable Guarantor shall have the right to contest any such claim so long as the Borrower or such Guarantor posts a bond acceptable to the Lender to protect the Lender’s interest in such property, and, in general, do or cause to be done everything necessary to fully preserve the DIP Liens and the rights of the Lender under this Agreement and the other DIP Credit Documents in respect of such property. The Borrower and the Guarantors shall at all times defend the Lender’s interest in and to any owned or leased real property, and the priority of the DIP Lien;

(u) Maintenance of Real Property. To the extent failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall keep any owned or leased real property, including all buildings and improvements now or hereafter situated thereon, and all equipment owned by them and material to the operation of any owned or leased real property, in good condition subject to reasonable wear and tear, not commit or permit any waste thereof, make all necessary or advisable repairs, replacements and improvements and subject to force majeure , and complete and restore promptly and in good workmanlike manner any building, improvements or other items of any of the real property that may be damaged, or destroyed, and subject to the right to contest legitimate disputes, pay when due all costs incurred therefor;

(y) Notice of Litigation and Other Matters. The Borrower and the Guarantors shall, as soon as practicable after any of them shall become aware of the same, give notice to the Lender of the following events:

10.7 Further Assurances

Whether before or after the happening of an Event of Default, the Borrower and each Guarantor shall at its own expense do, make, execute or deliver, or cause to be done, made, executed or delivered by its Subsidiaries or other Persons, all such further acts, documents and things in connection with the DIP Credit Commitment and the DIP Credit Documents as the Lender may reasonably require from time to time for the purpose of giving effect to the DIP Credit Documents all within a reasonable period of time following the request of the Lender.

 

10.8 Assignment

(a) The DIP Credit Documents shall inure to the benefit of the Lender, its successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon the Borrower and the Guarantors, and their respective successors and assigns. Neither the Borrower nor any of the Guarantors shall assign, sell, convey or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under the DIP Credit Commitment or the DIP Credit Documents. The Lender, may assign, sell, convey, grant participations in, pledge, or otherwise transfer all or any part of its rights or obligations under the DIP Credit Commitment and the DIP Credit Documents to any Person or Persons (each a “Permitted Lender Assignee”) at any time, without the Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s consent. Any Permitted Lender Assignee shall provide written notice to the Borrower and the Guarantors of such assignment and its assumption of the obligations of the Lender hereunder and thereafter shall be entitled to the performance of all of the Borrower’s and the Guarantors’ agreements and obligations under the DIP Credit Commitment and the DIP Credit Documents and shall be entitled to enforce all the rights and remedies of the Lender under the DIP Credit Documents, for the benefit of such Permitted Lender Assignee, as fully as if such Permitted Lender Assignee was herein by name specifically given such rights and remedies. Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors expressly agrees that it will assert no claims or defenses that it may have against the Lender against any Permitted Lender Assignee, except those specifically available under this Agreement. In the event that the Borrower or any Guarantor shall become directly liable for any additional charges or levies by any governmental or regulatory authority in consequence of the operation of this Section 10.8, the Borrower shall give the Lender notice thereof and thereafter the Lender shall indemnify the Borrower or the Guarantor, as applicable, in full for any such charges or levies. The Borrower and the Guarantors shall be given written notice of any such assignment. The Borrower and the Guarantors shall cooperate with and perform the reasonable requirements of the Permitted Lender Assignee, but the costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and disbursements relating directly to or arising directly out of any such assignment shall not be the expense of the Borrower or the Guarantors.

(b) The Lender shall, on behalf of the Borrower, maintain or cause to be maintained a register (the “Register”) on which it enters the name and address of each Lender and Permitted Lender Assignee as the registered owner of each Advance (and the principal amount thereof and stated interest thereon) held by such Lender or Permitted Lender Assignee (each, a “Registered

 

72


Advance”). Borrower hereby acknowledges and makes the Registered Advance a registered obligation for United States withholding tax purposes. A Registered Advance may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register and any assignment or sale of all or part of such Registered Advance may be effected only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Prior to the registration of the assignment or sale of any Registered Advance, Borrower shall treat the person in whose name such Registered Advance is registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes. The Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, Lender and Permitted Lender Assignees and their agents shall treat each person whose name is recorded as a holder of the interest described therein for purposes of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower, Lender and any Permitted Lender Assignee at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

10.9 Disclosure of Information to Potential Permitted Lender Assignees

The Borrower and the Guarantors agree that the Lender shall have the right (but shall be under no obligation) to make available to any potential Permitted Lender Assignee any and all information which the Lender may have pursuant to the DIP Credit Documents, provided such disclosure is not in violation of any applicable securities laws, rules or regulations and such potential Permitted Lender Assignee enters into a typical and customary confidentiality agreement in favor of the Borrower and the Guarantors.

 

10.10 Right to Cure

The Lender may from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion (but shall have no obligation to do so), for the Borrower’s account and at the Borrower’s expense, pay any amount or do any act required of the Borrower or a Guarantor hereunder or required under the DIP Credit Documents or requested by the Lender to preserve, protect, maintain or enforce any DIP Credit Commitment, any owned or leased real property or any other Collateral, and which the Borrower or a Guarantor fails to pay or do or cause to be paid or done, including, without limitation, payment of insurance premiums, taxes or assessments, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, landlord’s claim, and any other lien upon or with respect to any owned or leased real property or any other Collateral. Any payment made or other action taken by the Lender pursuant to this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default hereunder and to pursue the Lender’s other rights and remedies with respect thereto.

 

10.11 Forbearance by the Lender Not a Waiver

Any forbearance by the Lender in exercising any right or remedy under any of the DIP Credit Documents, or otherwise afforded by Applicable Law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy. The Lender’s acceptance of payment of any sum secured by any of the DIP Credit Documents after the due date of such payment shall not be a waiver of the Lender’s right to either require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare a default for failure to make prompt payment. The procurement of insurance or the payment of taxes or other Liens or charges by the Lender shall not be a waiver of the Lender’s right to accelerate the maturity of the DIP Credit Commitment, nor shall the Lender’s receipt of any awards, proceeds

 

73


or damages operate to cure or waive the Borrower’s or any of the Guarantors’ default in payment or sums secured by any of the DIP Credit Documents. With respect to all DIP Credit Documents, only waivers made in writing by the Lender shall be effective against the Lender.

 

10.12 Waiver of Statute of Limitations and Other Defenses

The Borrower and Guarantors hereby waive the right to assert any statute of limitations or any other defense as a bar to the enforcement of the lien created by any of the DIP Credit Documents or to any action brought to enforce any obligation secured by any of the DIP Credit Documents.

 

10.13 Relationship

The relationship between the Lender and the Borrower and the Guarantors shall be that of creditor-debtor only. No term in this Agreement or in the other DIP Credit Documents, nor any shareholder or other Affiliate relationship between the parties, and no course of dealing between the parties shall be deemed to create any relationship of agency, partnership or joint venture or any fiduciary duty by the Lender to any other party.

 

10.14 Time of Essence

ARTICLE 11

CONTINUING GUARANTY

 

11.1 Guaranty

Each Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees (the “ Guaranty “), as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, any and all of the Obligations, whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, damages, costs, expenses or otherwise, of the Borrower to the Lender, arising hereunder and under the other DIP Credit Documents (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof). The

 

76


Lender’s books and records showing the amount of the Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon each Guarantor, and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Obligations in the absence of manifest error. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, and to the fullest extent permitted by law each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing. The obligations of each Guarantor are joint and several.

 

11.2 Rights of the Lender

Each Guarantor consents and agrees that the Lender may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand (other than as required by Section 9.2 hereof, the Order or applicable bankruptcy law), and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Lender in its sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors (including any other Guarantor) of any of the Obligations. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this Guaranty is secured in accordance with the terms of the DIP Credit Documents and that the Lender may exercise its remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of such Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of such Guarantor.

 

11.3 Certain Waivers

Each Guarantor waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor), or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of the Lender) of the liability of the Borrower; (b) any defense based on any claim that such Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of the Borrower; (c) any right to proceed against the Borrower, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the power of the Lender; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by the Lender; and (f) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties. Each Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Obligations.

 

77


11.4 Obligations Independent

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against any guarantor (including any other Guarantor) to enforce this Guaranty whether or not the Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party.

 

11.5 Subrogation

No Guarantor shall exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and the DIP Credit Commitment is terminated. If any amounts are paid to any Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender and shall forthwith be paid to the Lender to reduce the amount of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

 

11.6 Termination; Reinstatement

This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Guaranty are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the DIP Credit Commitment with respect to the Obligations is terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Guarantor is made, or the Lender exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any debtor relief laws, including the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Lender is in possession of or has released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. Each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Lender on demand for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any debtor relief laws, including the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The obligations of the Guarantors under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guaranty.

 

11.7 Subordination

Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor owing to any Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of the Borrower to any Guarantor as subrogee of the Lender or resulting from any Guarantor’s performance under this Guaranty, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations. If the Lender so requests, any such obligation or indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor to any Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by any Guarantor as trustee for the Lender and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Lender on account of the Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of any Guarantor under this Guaranty.

 

78


11.8 Stay of Acceleration

If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against any Guarantor or the Borrower under any debtor relief laws, including the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by each other Guarantor immediately upon demand by the Lender.

 

11.9 Contribution by the Guarantors

All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations Guaranteed. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 11.9, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including in respect of this Section 11.9), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 11.9. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 11.9 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 11.9 and a right to receive any Fair Share Contribution Amount shall be deemed an asset of the Guarantor entitled to such amount.
