The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually

 

5


or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has the corporate power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Notes and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

5.2. Authorization, etc.

This Agreement and the Notes to be issued at such Closing have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and this Agreement constitutes, and upon execution and delivery thereof each Note to be issued at such Closing will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

5.3. Disclosure.

This Agreement and the documents, certificates or other writings delivered to the Purchasers or posted in respect of the Company on website www.intralinks.com prior to November 28, 2018 in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, as of their respective dates, and the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5, taken as a whole (this Agreement and such documents, certificates or other writings and such financial statements being referred to, collectively, as the “Disclosure Documents”), do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. There is no fact known to the Company that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been set forth herein or in the Disclosure Documents. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents or in the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5, since December 31, 2017 there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business or properties of the Company or any Subsidiary except changes that individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (it being understood for the purposes of this Section 5.3 that any event or condition which shall cause the Company to be unable to satisfy the covenants described in Section 10.1 for any period after December 31, 2017 on a pro forma basis shall be deemed to have a Material Adverse Effect).

5.4. Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries.

Schedule 5.4 contains complete and correct lists, as of the date hereof, of the Company’s (i) Subsidiaries, showing, as to each such Subsidiary, the correct name thereof, the jurisdiction of its organization and the percentage of shares of each class of its capital stock or similar equity interests outstanding owned by the Company and each other Subsidiary, (ii) Affiliates, other than Subsidiaries, and (iii) directors and senior officers.

(a) All of the outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of each Subsidiary shown in Schedule 5.4 as being owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries, and all such stock or equity interests of Subsidiaries acquired thereafter, have been validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by the Company or another Subsidiary free and clear of any Lien.

 

6


(b) Each Subsidiary is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other legal entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each such Subsidiary has the corporate or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact.

(c) No Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to any legal restriction or any agreement (other than this Agreement and customary limitations imposed by corporate law statutes) restricting the ability of such Subsidiary to pay dividends out of profits or make any other similar distributions of profits to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that owns outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of such Subsidiary.

5.5. Financial Statements, etc.

The Company has delivered to each Purchaser copies of the financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries listed in Schedule 5.5. All of said financial statements (including in each case the related schedules and notes) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates specified in such Schedule and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the respective periods so specified and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved, except as set forth in the notes thereto (subject, in the case of any interim financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments).

Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary had any Material liabilities of a type required to be disclosed in financial statements (or notes thereto) prepared in accordance with GAAP, including material obligations under Guaranties, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5 or otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Documents.

5.6. Compliance with Laws, Other Instruments, etc.

The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the Notes will not (a) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of the Company or any Subsidiary under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter or by-laws, or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or by which the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, (b) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary or (c) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary.

8.2. Notice of Prepayment; Make-Whole Computation.

The Company will call Notes for prepayment pursuant to Section 8.1 by giving written notice thereof to each holder of a Note to be so prepaid, which notice shall be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day) and shall specify the amount so to be prepaid and the date fixed for such prepayment. Each such notice of prepayment shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount (if any) due in connection with such prepayment for each Note held by such holder (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Notice of prepayment having been so given, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes as specified in such notice, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of such prepayment, plus an amount equal to the Make-Whole Amount (if any), plus any Swap Reimbursement Amount or minus any applicable Net Gain for each such Note shall become due and payable on the specified prepayment date.

Two Business Days prior to the date fixed for any prepayment pursuant to Section 8.1, the Company will furnish to each holder of Notes a certificate signed by a Senior Financial Officer setting forth in reasonable detail the manner of calculation of the Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date for each Note held by such holder.

8.3. Allocation of Partial Prepayments.

In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.1, the principal amount of the series of Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes of such series at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment.

8.4. Maturity; Surrender; etc.

In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day), together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any, plus any Swap Reimbursement Amount or minus any Net Gain applicable to such Note. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, plus any Swap Reimbursement Amount or minus any Net Gain applicable to such Note as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

8.5. Purchase of Notes.

The Company will not and will not permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment or prepayment of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

25


U.S. Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for applicable U.S. Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the Swapped Note Remaining Average Life of such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount as of such Swapped Note Settlement Date;

such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (A) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond-equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (B) interpolating linearly between (x) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than the Swapped Note Remaining Average Life of such Swapped Note Called Notional Amount and (y) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less than such Swapped Note Remaining Average Life.

Each holder of a Swapped Note shall be responsible for calculating its own Net Loss or Net Gain, as the case may be, and Swap Breakage Amount in Dollars upon the prepayment or repayment of all or any portion of such Swapped Note, and such calculations as reported to the Company in reasonable detail shall be binding on the Company absent demonstrable error.

As used in this Section 8.6(c) with respect to any Swapped Note that is prepaid or accelerated: “Net Loss” means the amount, if any, by which the total of the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount and the Swapped Note Accrued Interest Amount exceeds the sum of (x) the total of the Swapped Note Called Principal and the Swapped Note Called Interest plus (or minus in the case of an amount paid) (y) the Swap Breakage Amount received (or paid) by the holder of such Swapped Note; and “Net Gain” means the amount, if any, by which the total of the Swapped Note Called Notional Amount and the Swapped Note Accrued Interest Amount is exceeded by the sum of (x) the total of the Swapped Note Called Principal and the Swapped Note Called Interest plus (or minus in the case of an amount paid) (y) the Swap Breakage Amount received (or paid) by such holder. For purposes of any determination of any “Net Loss” or “Net Gain,” the Swapped Note Called Principal and the Swapped Note Called Interest shall be determined by the holder of the affected Swapped Note by converting Euros into Dollars at the current Dollar exchange rate for such currency, as determined as of 10:00 A.M.

As used in this Section 8.6(c):

“Swap Breakage Amount” means, with respect to the Swap Agreement associated with any Swapped Note, in determining the Net Loss or Net Gain, the amount that would be received (in which case the Swap Breakage Amount shall be positive) or paid (in which case the Swap Breakage Amount shall be negative) by the holder of such Swapped Note as if such Swap Agreement had terminated due to the occurrence of an event of default or early termination under the International Swap and Derivatives Association’s (“ISDA”) 1992 Multi-Currency Cross Border Master Agreement or the ISDA 2002 Master Agreement, as applicable (the “ISDA Master Agreement”); provided, however, that if such holder (or its predecessor in interest with respect to such Swapped Note) was, but is not at the time, a party to an Original Swap Agreement but is a party to a New Swap Agreement, then the Swap Breakage Amount shall mean the lesser of (x) the gain or loss (if any) which would have been received or incurred (by payment, through off-set or netting or otherwise) by the holder of such Swapped Note under the terms of the Original Swap Agreement (if any) in respect of such Swapped Note to which such holder (or any affiliate thereof) was a party (or if such holder was never a party to an Original Swap Agreement, then the last Original Swap Agreement to which the most recent predecessor in interest to such holder as a holder of a Swapped Note was a party) and which would have arisen as a result of the payment of the Swapped Note Called Principal on the Swapped Note Settlement Date and (y) the gain or loss (if any) actually received or incurred by the holder of such Swapped Note, in connection with the payment of such Swapped Note Called Principal on the Swapped Note Settlement Date, under the terms of the New Swap Agreement to which such holder (or any affiliate thereof) is a party. The holder of such Swapped Note will make all calculations related to the Swap Breakage Amount in good faith and in accordance with its customary practices for calculating such amounts under the ISDA Master Agreement pursuant to which such Swap Agreement shall have been entered into and assuming for the purpose of such calculation that there are no other transactions entered into pursuant to such ISDA Master Agreement (other than such Swap Agreement).

Swapped Note Accrued Interest Amount” means, with respect to any Swapped Note, the payment in Dollars due to the holder of such Swapped Note under the terms of the Swap Agreement to which such holder is a party, attributable to and in exchange for the amount of interest accrued on the Swapped Note Called Principal with respect to such Swapped Note to the Swapped Note Settlement Date and assuming that such interest is paid on its scheduled interest payment date.

Swapped Note Called Interest” means, with respect to any Swapped Note, the accrued and unpaid interest on such Swapped Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.1, 8.7 or 8.8, or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

8.7. Prepayment in Connection with a Change of Control.

Promptly and in any event within five Business Days after the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will give written notice thereof (a “Change of Control Notice”) to the holders of all outstanding Notes, which Change of Control Notice shall (a) refer specifically to this Section 8.7, (b) describe the Change of Control in reasonable detail and specify the Change of Control Prepayment Date and the Response Date (as respectively defined below) in respect thereof and (c) offer to prepay all outstanding Notes at the price specified below on the date therein specified (the “Change of Control Prepayment Date”), which shall be a Business Day not less than 30 days and not more than 90 days after the date of such Change of Control Notice. Each holder of a Note will notify the Company of such holder’s acceptance or rejection of such offer by giving written notice of such acceptance or rejection to the Company on or before the date for such notice specified in such Change of Control Notice (the “Response Date”), which specified date shall be a Business Day not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date of such Change of Control Notice. The Company shall prepay on the Change of Control Prepayment Date all of the outstanding Notes held by the holders as to which such offer has been so accepted (it being understood that failure of any holder to accept such offer on or before the Response Date shall be deemed to constitute rejection by such holder), at the principal amount of each such Note, together with interest accrued thereon to the Change of Control Prepayment Date, plus any Swap Reimbursement Amount or minus any Net Gain applicable to each Note to be prepaid, but without premium. If any holder shall reject such offer on or before the Response Date, such holder shall be deemed to have waived its rights under this Section 8.7 to require prepayment of all Notes held by such holder in respect of such Change of Control but not in respect of any subsequent Change of Control.

For purposes of this Section 8.7, any holder of more than one Note may act separately with respect to each Note so held (with the effect that a holder of more than one Note may accept such offer with respect to one or more Notes so held and reject such offer with respect to one or more other Notes so held).

A “Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if at any time after the date of this Agreement any Person or “group” (within the meaning of the Exchange Act and the rules of the SEC thereunder as in effect on the date hereof) shall acquire ownership, directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record, of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Voting Stock or economic interests of the Company.

8.8. Prepayment in Connection with the Disposition of Certain Assets.

(a) Notice and Offer. In the event net proceeds of a Disposition are to be used to make an offer (a “Transfer Prepayment Offer”) to prepay Notes pursuant to Section 10.3 of this Agreement (a “Debt Prepayment Transfer”), the Company will give written notice of such Debt Prepayment Transfer to each holder of Notes. Such written notice shall contain, and such written notice shall constitute, an irrevocable offer to prepay, at the election of each holder, a portion of the Notes held by such holder equal to such holder’s Ratable Portion of the net proceeds in respect of such Debt Prepayment Transfer on a date specified in such notice (the “Transfer Prepayment Date”) that is not less than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days after the date of such notice, together with interest on the amount to be so prepaid accrued to the Transfer Prepayment Date. If the Transfer Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such notice, the Transfer Prepayment Date shall be the thirtieth (30th) day after the date of such notice.

 

29


(b) Acceptance and Payment. To accept such Transfer Prepayment Offer, a holder of Notes shall cause a notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the Company not later than twenty (20) days after the date of such written notice from the Company, provided, that failure to accept such offer in writing within twenty (20) days after the date of such written notice shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of the Transfer Prepayment Offer. If so accepted by any holder of a Note, such offered prepayment (equal to not less than such holder’s Ratable Portion of the net proceeds in respect of such Debt Prepayment Transfer) shall be due and payable on the Transfer Prepayment Date. Such offered prepayment shall be made at one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of such Notes being so prepaid, together with interest on such principal amount then being prepaid accrued to the Transfer Prepayment Date determined as of the date of such prepayment, plus any Swap Reimbursement Amount or minus any Net Gain applicable to each Note to be prepaid.

Subject to Sections 10.3 and 10.4, the Company will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate or other organizational existence of each of its Subsidiaries (unless merged into the Company or a Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Company, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such corporate existence of any Subsidiary or any such right or franchise could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.6. Ranking.

The Company will ensure that, at all times, all liabilities of the Company under the Notes will rank in right of payment either pari passu with or senior to all other unsecured, unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Company.

10. NEGATIVE COVENANTS.

The Company covenants that so long as any of the Notes are outstanding or any Purchaser has an obligation to purchase Notes hereunder:

10.1. Certain Financial Conditions.

The Company will not permit:

(a) Consolidated Debt to EBITDA – the ratio (the “Leverage Ratio”) of (i) Consolidated Debt at any time to (ii) EBITDA for the four consecutive fiscal quarters then most recently ended, to exceed 3.50 to 1.00; or

(b) Interest Coverage — the ratio of (i) EBITDA to (ii) Interest Expense, in each case for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, to be less than 2.50 to 1.00; or

(c) Priority Debt — Priority Debt at any time to exceed 15% of Consolidated Total Assets (determined as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Company); provided, however, that no Lien created pursuant to Section 10.2(j) shall secure Indebtedness owing under the Bank Credit Agreement or any other note agreement to which the Company is a party unless the Notes are equally and ratably secured by all property subject to such Lien and no Subsidiary shall guaranty or otherwise become obligated in respect of such Indebtedness unless such Subsidiary guaranties, or becomes obligated in respect of, the Notes, in each case pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Foreign Subsidiary may become a borrower under the Bank Credit Agreement, so long as it is liable only for the amount of its direct borrowings thereunder, and the Company shall not be required to cause such Foreign Subsidiary to guaranty the Notes in accordance with this clause (c), if (i) no Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing at the time such Foreign Subsidiary becomes a borrower under the Bank Credit Agreement and (ii) at such time the provision by such Foreign Subsidiary of a guaranty of the Notes would cause the earnings of such Foreign Subsidiary to be treated as a deemed dividend to such Foreign Subsidiary’s United States parent under the Code; provided, however, that a guaranty of the Notes from such Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to be delivered to the holders of Notes in accordance with this clause (c) on the earliest to occur thereafter of (x) a Default or Event of Default or (y) such time as the provision by such Foreign Subsidiary of a guaranty of the Notes would not cause the earnings of such Foreign Subsidiary to be treated as a deemed dividend to such Foreign Subsidiary’s United States parent under the Code. For the avoidance of doubt, (1) any borrowing by a Foreign Subsidiary under the Bank

 

32


Credit Agreement shall constitute Priority Debt unless such Foreign Subsidiary shall have provided a guaranty or shall have otherwise become obligated in respect of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.1(c), and (2) any Indebtedness owing under the Bank Credit Agreement or any other note agreement to which the Company is a party that is secured by a Lien created pursuant to Section 10.2(j) shall cease to constitute Priority Debt for purposes of the first sentence of this Section 10.1(c) at such time as the Notes are equally and ratably secured by all property subject to such Lien pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Holders, including, without limitation, an intercreditor agreement and opinions of counsel to the Company and/or any applicable Subsidiary, as the case may be, from counsel reasonably acceptable to the Majority Holders.

If during any test period for which EBITDA is being determined any Business Acquisition or Business Disposition shall have been consummated, then for purposes of clauses (a) and (b) above EBITDA shall be determined on a pro forma basis as if such Business Acquisition or Business Disposition shall have been consummated on the first day of such test period and any Indebtedness incurred or retired in connection therewith had been incurred or retired on such first day.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be permitted, but in no event (a) on more than three occasions while the Notes are outstanding, or (b) on more than two occasions during the period from the date hereof through and including the 5th anniversary of this Agreement, to increase the maximum Leverage Ratio permitted under Section 10.1(a) to 4.00 to 1.00 (the “Elevated Ratio”) for a period of four consecutive fiscal quarters in connection with a Qualifying Material Acquisition occurring during the first of such four consecutive fiscal quarters, so long as the Company is in compliance on a pro forma basis with the maximum Leverage Ratio of 4.00 to 1.00 on the closing date of such Qualifying Material Acquisition immediately after giving effect (including giving effect on a pro forma basis) to such Qualifying Material Acquisition; provided that (x) it is understood and agreed that the maximum Leverage Ratio permitted under Section 10.1(a) shall revert to 3.50 to 1.00 on the day immediately following the last day of such period, and such ratio shall apply thereafter until another such period (if any) is elected pursuant to an Elevated Ratio Notice (as described below) and (y) the Elevated Ratio shall not be in effect for more than four consecutive fiscal quarters at any time.

Upon or before application of the Elevated Ratio, as contemplated by the preceding paragraph, the Company must deliver to each of the holders of the Notes a written notice from a Senior Financial Officer (an “Elevated Ratio Notice”):

(i) describing such Qualifying Material Acquisition (including the name of the Person or summary description of the assets being acquired and the approximate purchase price) and stating that the Company is applying the Elevated Ratio and specifying the consecutive fiscal quarters of the Company (up to four, and including the fiscal quarter in which the Qualifying Material Acquisition occurred) for which the Elevated Ratio will apply (the “Elevated Ratio Period”),

(ii) certifying that the Elevated Ratio is being applied in connection with one or more Qualifying Material Acquisitions, and

 

33


(iii) confirming that during the Elevated Ratio Period, each Note then outstanding shall accrue interest at a rate which is 50 basis points (0.50%) higher than the coupon rate of such Note (the “Elevated Interest Rate”).

Additional interest resulting from the application of the Elevated Interest Rate with respect to any Note shall:

(A) accrue for the entire Elevated Ratio Period (including retroactively, as applicable), and

(B) become due and payable to the holder of such Note commencing on the earlier of (1) the next interest payment date with respect to such Note following delivery of the Elevated Ratio Notice and (2) the date such Note shall have become due and payable as a result of its maturity, prepayment or acceleration.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company has, prior to the delivery of an Elevated Ratio Notice, paid interest for any portion of an Elevated Ratio Period at the original contract rate of interest as provided in the Notes, the payment due at the time provided in clause (B) above shall include additional interest at the rate of 0.50% percent per annum for such portion of such Elevated Ratio Period.

10.2. Liens.

The Company will not and will not permit any Subsidiary to create, assume, incur or suffer to exist any Lien on any asset, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, except for the following:

(a) Liens of or resulting from any judgment or award, the time for the appeal or petition for rehearing of which shall not have expired, or in respect of which any of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall at the time in good faith be prosecuting an appeal or a proceeding for a review, and for which adequate reserves have been made;

(b) Liens for property taxes, assessments or other governmental charges which are not yet due and payable, statutory Liens of landlords and Liens of carriers, warehousemen, mechanics, and other similar liens incurred in the ordinary course of business for sums not yet due and payable;

34


(d) leases or subleases granted to others, easements, rights-of-way, restrictions and other similar charges or encumbrances, in each case incidental to, and not interfering with, the ordinary conduct of the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, provided that such Liens do not, in the aggregate, materially detract from the value of the affected property;

(e) Liens on property or assets of any Subsidiary securing Indebtedness owing to the Company or to a Subsidiary;

(f) Liens existing as of the date hereof securing Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary and described on Schedule 5.15;

(g) any Lien existing on assets of a Person immediately prior to such Person being consolidated with or merged into the Company or a Subsidiary or such Person becoming a Subsidiary, or any Lien existing on any assets acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary at the time such assets are so acquired (whether or not the Indebtedness secured thereby shall have been assumed), provided that (i) no such Lien shall have been created or assumed in contemplation of such consolidation or merger or such Person becoming a Subsidiary or such acquisition of assets, and (ii) each such Lien shall extend solely to the item or items so acquired and, if required by the terms of the instrument originally creating such Lien, other assets which are an improvement to or are acquired for specific use in connection with such acquired Person or assets of a Person;

(h) Liens securing Indebtedness under Permitted Receivables Securitization Programs, provided that the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness does not exceed the greater of $125,000,000 (or its equivalent in another currency), or such other amount not to exceed 15% of Consolidated Tangible Assets (determined as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Company);

(i) Liens created in substitution of or as a replacement for any Liens permitted by clauses (a) through (h) above, provided that a Senior Financial Officer shall have determined in good faith that the assets encumbered by such substitute or replacement Lien are substantially similar in nature to and of equal or lesser value than the assets encumbered by the Lien that is being replaced; and

(j) Liens not otherwise permitted by the foregoing clauses of this Section 10.2 securing Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, provided Priority Debt does not at any time exceed 15% of Consolidated Total Assets (determined as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Company).

10.3. Disposition of Assets.

The Company will not and will not permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its assets (including, without limitation, capital stock of any Subsidiary) or permit any Subsidiary to issue any capital stock (collectively a “Disposition,” which term shall not include any payment of dividends) unless, after giving effect to such proposed Disposition, the aggregate net book value of all assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries that were the subject of a Disposition during the period of 365 days ending on (and

 

35


including) the date of such Disposition (valued, in the case of any issuance of capital stock by, or sale of capital stock of, a Subsidiary, as provided in the last sentence of this Section 10.3) does not exceed 15% of Consolidated Total Assets (as shown on the most recent consolidated balance sheet furnished pursuant to Section 7.1(b)), provided that the following Dispositions shall not be taken into account for purposes of such calculations under this Section 10.3:

(a) any Disposition in the ordinary course of business and involving only property that is either (i) inventory held for sale or (ii) equipment, fixtures, supplies or materials no longer required in the operation of the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or that are obsolete;

(b) any Disposition by a Subsidiary to the Company or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary;

(c) any Disposition otherwise permitted by Section 10.4; and

(d) any Disposition not otherwise permitted by the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.3 for fair value to the extent that the net proceeds of such Disposition are applied within 360 days from the date of such Disposition either to (i) the acquisition, construction, improvement or development of operating assets (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, cash and cash equivalents) to be used in the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries or (ii) the repayment or prepayment of unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Company or a Subsidiary (any such repayment or prepayment to include, except to the extent of any repayment of Indebtedness secured by the asset so disposed of, prepayment of Notes (at par and without payment of any Make-Whole Amount) to the extent that the offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to Section 8.8 has been accepted as provided therein, which offered prepayment of Notes is in at least an aggregate principal amount that bears the same relation to the amount then being applied to reduce all unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries as the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes bears to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all outstanding unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries); provided that any prepayment in connection with any revolving credit facility or similar facility shall be counted for purposes of this clause (ii) only to the extent the commitment of such facility is permanently reduced by the amount of such prepayment.

The aggregate net book value of any capital stock issued by any Subsidiary, or sold by the Company or any other Subsidiary, shall be deemed to be, in the case of an issuance or sale of common stock, the same percentage of the net book value of such Subsidiary’s assets as such issued or sold common stock is of all outstanding common stock of such Subsidiary (after giving effect to any such issuance) and, in the case of an issuance of Preferred Stock, the greater of the aggregate liquidation or redemption value thereof.

10.4. Merger, Consolidation, etc.

The Company will not consolidate or merge with any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets in a single transaction or series of transactions to any Person except that the Company may consolidate with or merge with any other corporation or convey or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to a corporation or limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, provided that

 

36


(a) the continuing, surviving or acquiring corporation or limited liability company (the “Surviving Person”) shall be a solvent corporation or limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof (including the District of Columbia), and, if the Company is not the Surviving Person, (1) the Surviving Person shall have executed and delivered to each holder of any Notes its assumption of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition of this Agreement and the Notes, in a form reasonably satisfactory to each holder of Notes and (2) the Surviving Person shall have caused to be delivered to each holder of any Notes an opinion of nationally recognized independent counsel, or other independent counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Holders, to the effect that all agreements or instruments effecting such assumption are enforceable in accordance with their terms and comply with the terms hereof; and

(b) each Subsidiary Obligor under any guaranty of the Notes executed pursuant to Section 10.1(c) that is outstanding at the time such transaction occurs reaffirms its obligations under such guaranty in writing at such time pursuant to documentation that is reasonably acceptable to the Majority Holders; and

(c) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

No such conveyance, transfer or lease of substantially all of the assets of the Company shall have the effect of releasing the Company or any successor corporation or limited liability company that shall theretofore have become such in the manner prescribed in this Section 10.4 from its liability under this Agreement or the Notes.

10.5. Transactions with Affiliates.

The Company will not and will not permit any Subsidiary to enter into directly or indirectly any Material transaction or Material group of related transactions (including without limitation the purchase, lease, sale or exchange of properties of any kind or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate (other than the Company or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary), except (a) pursuant to the reasonable requirements of the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s business and upon terms that are no less favorable to the Company or such Subsidiary than would be obtainable in an arm’s-length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate, (b) the Company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and phantom stock awards to its and its Subsidiaries’ directors in the ordinary course of business, and (c) the Company and its Subsidiaries may pay reasonable and customary fees to their directors who are not also officers or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

12. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC.

12.1. Acceleration.

(a) If an Event of Default with respect to the Company described in paragraph (h) or (i) of Section 11 (other than an Event of Default described in clause (i) of paragraph (h) or described in clause (vi) of paragraph (h) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses clause (i) of paragraph (h)) has occurred, all the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

(b) If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Majority Holders may at any time at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

(c) If any Event of Default described in paragraph (a) or (b) of Section 11 has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and payable.

Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (i) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, but not limited to, interest accrued thereon at the applicable Default Rate), (ii) the amount by which (A) the Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of such principal amount exceeds (B) the Net Gain (if any) applicable to such Notes, (iii) interest accrued at the applicable Default Rate on any overdue payment of Make-Whole Amount in accordance with the terms of the Notes and (iv) (A) the Swap Reimbursement Amount (if any), shall be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. The Company acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Company (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Company in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

 

40


12.2. Other Remedies.

If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.

12.3. Rescission.

At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of Section 12.1, the Majority Holders, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid or deposited pursuant to trust arrangements acceptable to the Majority Holders all overdue interest on any Notes, all principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and Swap Reimbursement Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the applicable Default Rate, (b) neither the Company nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than the non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 17, and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

12.4. No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, etc.

No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or by any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Company under Section 15, the Company will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

13. REGISTRATION; EXCHANGE; SUBSTITUTION OF NOTES.

Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be in the form of Note for such series set forth in Exhibit 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, as the case may be. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less than $1,000,000 or €1,000,000, as applicable, provided that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of Notes of a series, one Note of such series may be in a denomination of less than $1,000,000 or €1,000,000, as applicable. Any transferee, by its acceptance of a Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representation set forth in Section 6.2.

13.3. Replacement of Notes.

Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note (which evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional Investor, notice from such Institutional Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and

(a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an original Purchaser or another holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least $50,000,000 (or its equivalent in another currency) or a Qualified Institutional Buyer, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or

 

42


(b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof,

within ten Business Days thereafter the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note of the same series, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

14.2. Home Office Payment.

So long as any Purchaser or its nominee shall be the holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 14.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Company will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, Swap Reimbursement Amount, if any, and interest by the method and at the address specified for such purpose below such Purchaser’s name in Schedule A, or by such other method or at such other address as such Purchaser shall have from time to time specified to the Company in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Company made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser shall surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company at its principal executive office or at the place of payment most recently designated by the Company pursuant to Section 14.1.

The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by a Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this Section 14.2.

15. EXPENSES, ETC.

In furtherance of the foregoing, on each Closing Date the Company will pay the reasonable fees and disbursements and other charges (including estimated unposted disbursements and other charges as of such date) of Purchasers’ special counsel which are reflected in the statement of such special counsel submitted to the Company at least one Business Day prior to such date. The Company will also pay, promptly upon receipt of supplemental statements therefor, reasonable additional fees, if any, and disbursements and other charges of such special counsel in connection with the transactions hereby contemplated (including disbursements and other charges unposted as of such date to the extent such disbursements and other charges exceed estimated amounts paid as aforesaid).

16. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, the purchase or transfer by any Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon by any subsequent holder of a Note, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of such Purchaser or any other holder of a Note. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties of the Company under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement and the Notes embody the entire agreement and understanding between each Purchaser and the Company and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

 

44


17. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.

17.1. Requirements.

This Agreement and the Notes may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof or of the Notes may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the written consent of the Company and the Majority Holders, except that:

(a) no amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Section 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 21, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to any Purchaser unless consented to by such Purchaser in writing; and

(b) no such amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of each Purchaser and the holder of each Note at the time outstanding, (i) subject to the provisions of Section 12 relating to acceleration or rescission, change the amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate of interest or change the time of payment or method of computation of (x) interest on the Notes or (y) the Make-Whole Amount or the Swap Reimbursement Amount, (ii) change the percentage of (A) the principal amount of the Notes the holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or waiver or (B) the principal amount of the Notes that the Purchasers are to purchase pursuant to Section 2 upon the satisfaction of the conditions to each Closing that appear in Section 4 which are required to consent to any such amendment or waiver, or (iii) amend any of Sections 8, 11(a), 11(b), 12, 17, 20, 22.7 or 22.8.

17.2. Solicitation of Holders of Notes.

(a) Solicitation. The Company will provide each Purchaser and each holder of the Notes (irrespective of the amount of Notes then owned by it) with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such Purchaser and such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof or of the Notes. The Company will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 17 to each Purchaser and each holder of outstanding Notes promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite Purchasers or holders of Notes.

(b) Payment. The Company will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any Purchaser or holder of Notes as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any such Purchaser or holder of Notes of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof or of the Notes unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support is concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each Purchaser and each holder of Notes then outstanding even if such Purchaser or holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

 

45


17.3. Binding Effect, etc.

Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 17 applies equally to all Purchasers and holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the Company without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Company and any Purchaser or holder of a Note and no delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any Purchaser or holder of such Note. As used herein, the term “this Agreement” and references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.

17.4. Notes Held by Company, etc.

Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement or the Notes, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or in the Notes to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

18. NOTICES.

All notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and sent (a) by telecopy if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), or (b) by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested (postage prepaid), or (c) by a recognized overnight delivery service (with charges prepaid). Any such notice must be sent:

(i) if to a Purchaser or its nominee, to such Purchaser or nominee at the address specified for such communications in Schedule A, or at such other address as such Purchaser or nominee shall have specified to the Company in writing,

(ii) if to any other holder of any Note, to such other holder at such address as such other holder shall have specified to the Company in writing, or

(iii) if to the Company, to the Company at its address set forth at the beginning hereof to the attention of the Treasurer, or at such other address as the Company shall have specified to the holder of each Note in writing.

Notices under this Section 18 will be deemed given only when actually received.

 

46


19. REPRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS.

This Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any Purchaser at either Closing (except the Notes themselves), and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to any Purchaser, may be reproduced by such Purchaser by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm, microcard, miniature photographic or other similar process and such Purchaser may destroy any original document so reproduced. The Company agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such Purchaser in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 19 shall not prohibit the Company, any Purchaser or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.

20. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

For the purposes of this Section 20, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as being confidential information of the Company or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by the Company, any Subsidiary or any third party known by such Purchaser to be in violation of a duty of confidentiality owed by such party to the Company or any Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors, officers, trustees, employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes), (ii) its auditors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree or whose duties require them to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20), (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any Security of the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such

 

47


delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes and this Agreement. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying the provisions of this Section 20.

In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 20, this Section 20 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and the Company, this Section 20 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.

21. SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.

Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Affiliate, shall contain such Affiliate’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Affiliate of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall be deemed to refer to such Affiliate in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Affiliate is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Affiliate thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Affiliate, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Affiliate as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

22. MISCELLANEOUS.

22.1. Successors and Assigns.

All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including without limitation any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not, except that, subject to Section 10.4, the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under the Notes without the prior written consent of each holder.

22.2. Construction.

Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

 

48


22.3. Jurisdiction and Process.

(a) The Company irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive in personam jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the in personam jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(b) The Company irrevocably consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 22.3(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Company at its address specified in Section 18, or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. The Company agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to the Company. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

(c) Nothing in this Section 22.3 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against the Company in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

(d) THE COMPANY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH.

22.4. Payments Due on Non-Business Days.

Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding (but without limiting the requirements in Section 8 that notices in respect of prepayments specify a Business Day as the date fixed for such prepayment), any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount (if any) or Swap Reimbursement Amount (if any) or interest on any Note that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

 

49


22.5. Severability.

Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

22.6. Accounting Terms; Change in GAAP.

(a) All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all computations made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP and all balance sheets and other financial statements with respect thereto shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any consolidated financial statement or financial computation shall be done in accordance with GAAP; and, if at the time that any such statement or computation is required to be made the Company shall not have any Subsidiary, such terms shall mean a financial statement or a financial computation, as the case may be, with respect to the Company only.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 9, Section 10 and the definition of “Indebtedness”), any election by the Company to measure any financial liability using fair value (as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 825-10-25Fair Value Option, International Accounting Standard 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or any similar accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not been made.

(c) If the Company shall notify the holders of Notes (and, during the period from and after the First Closing Date through the Second Closing Date, the Purchasers of Notes to be issued and sold at the Second Closing) that the Company wishes to amend any covenant in Section 10 to eliminate the effect of any change in GAAP on the operation of such covenant (or if the Majority Holders notify the Company that the Majority Holders wish to amend Section 10 for such purpose), then the Company and the holders of the Notes (and, during the period from and after the First Closing Date through the Second Closing Date, the Purchasers of Notes to be issued and sold at the Second Closing) shall negotiate in good faith to make such adjustments as shall be necessary to eliminate the effect of such change in GAAP on such covenant; provided that, until agreement is reached on such adjustments, the Company’s compliance with such covenant shall be determined on the basis of GAAP in effect immediately before the relevant change in GAAP became effective, until either such notice is withdrawn or such covenant is amended in a manner satisfactory to the Company and the Majority Holders, and the Company shall provide to the holders of Notes, with each certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.2, a reconciliation showing calculations with respect to such covenant before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP.

 

50


22.7. Obligation to Make Payments in Relevant Currency.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.6 concerning payment in Dollars, any payment made by the Company to any holder of Notes or for the account of any such holder in respect of any amount payable by the Company shall be made in the currency in which such Notes are denominated. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.6 concerning payment in Dollars, any amount received or recovered by such holder other than in the currency in which such holder’s Notes are denominated (whether as a result of, or of the enforcement of, a judgment or order of any court, or in the liquidation or dissolution of the Company or otherwise) in respect of any such sum expressed to be due hereunder or under the Notes shall constitute a discharge of the Company only to the extent of the amount of such currency which such holder is able, in accordance with normal banking procedures, to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in that other currency on the date of the receipt or recovery (or, if it is not practicable to make that purchase on such date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so). If the amount of such currency so purchased is less than the amount of such currency expressed to be due hereunder or under the Notes, the Company shall indemnify such holder against any loss sustained by such holder as a result, and in any event, the Company shall indemnify such holder against the cost of making any such purchase. These indemnities shall constitute a separate and independent obligation from the other obligations herein and in the Notes, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any such holder, shall continue in full force and effect despite any judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any such sum due hereunder and under any Note and shall survive the payment of the Notes and the termination of this Agreement.

22.8. Exchange Rate.

For the purpose of (i) determining the percentage ownership of Notes (including Notes to be purchased at the Second Closing) under the definition of “Majority Holders”, (ii) determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding (and prior to the Second Closing, Notes to be purchased at the Second Closing) approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent given under this Agreement or the Notes, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or therein to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding (and prior to the Second Closing, Notes to be purchased at the Second Closing) or (iii) any other determination of the requisite percentage of the principal amount of any Notes of more than one currency, the principal amount of any outstanding Euro Notes shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent thereof.

For the purpose of (i) allocating any partial prepayment of the Notes, or (ii) allocating any offer with respect to any partial prepayment of the Notes, the principal amount of any outstanding Euro Notes shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent thereof.

Dollar Equivalent” means the amount of Dollars that would be realized by converting Euros to Dollars in the spot market at the selling rate quoted by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank N.A. in New York, New York, at approximately 10 A.M. (New York City time) two Business Days prior to the date of determination of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes, to major banks in the interbank foreign exchange market for the purchase of Dollars with Euros or if JP. Morgan Chase Bank N.A. is not then quoting such exchange rate, then as quoted in the Currency Trading section of The Wall Street Journal under “Exchange Rates” two Business Days prior to such date of determination.

 

51


22.9. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.

22.10. Governing Law.

This Agreement and the Notes shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the laws of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

Schedule 5.5-1


SCHEDULE 5.8

LITIGATION

The Company is, from time to time, subject to a variety of litigation and similar proceedings incidental to its business. These lawsuits may involve claims for damages arising out of the use of the Company’s products and services, personal injury, employment matters, tax matters, commercial disputes and intellectual property matters. The Company may also become subject to lawsuits as a result of past or future acquisitions. Based upon the Company’s experience, the Company does not believe that these proceedings and claims will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Asbestos Litigation

The Company (including its subsidiaries) has been named as a defendant in a number of asbestos-related lawsuits. Certain of these lawsuits relate to a business which was acquired by the Company and do not involve products which were manufactured or sold by the Company. In connection with these lawsuits, the seller of such business has agreed to indemnify the Company against these claims (the “Indemnified Claims”). The Indemnified Claims have been tendered to, and are being defended by, such seller. The seller has met its obligations, in all respects, and the Company does not have any reason to believe such party would fail to fulfill its obligations in the future. To date, no judgments have been rendered against the Company as a result of any asbestos-related lawsuit. The Company believes that it has good and valid defenses to each of these claims and intends to defend them vigorously.

Environmental Matters

Certain historic processes in the manufacture of products have resulted in environmentally hazardous waste by-products as defined by federal and state laws and regulations. At September 30, 2018, the Company is named a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) at 13 non-AMETEK-owned former waste disposal or treatment sites (the “non-owned” sites). The Company is identified as a “de minimis” party in 12 of these sites based on the low volume of waste attributed to the Company relative to the amounts attributed to other named PRPs. In eight of these sites, the Company has reached a tentative agreement on the cost of the de minimis settlement to satisfy its obligation and is awaiting executed agreements. The tentatively agreed-to settlement amounts are fully reserved. In the other four sites, the Company is continuing to investigate the accuracy of the alleged volume attributed to the Company as estimated by the parties primarily responsible for remedial activity at the sites to establish an appropriate settlement amount. At the remaining site where the Company is a non-de minimis PRP, the Company is participating in the investigation and/or related required remediation as part of a PRP Group and reserves have been established sufficient to satisfy the Company’s expected obligations. The Company historically has resolved these issues within established reserve levels and reasonably expects this result will continue. In addition to these non-owned sites, the Company has an ongoing practice of providing reserves for probable remediation activities at certain of its current or previously owned manufacturing locations (the “owned” sites). For claims and proceedings against the Company with respect to other environmental matters,

 

Schedule 5.8-1


reserves are established once the Company has determined that a loss is probable and estimable. This estimate is refined as the Company moves through the various stages of investigation, risk assessment, feasibility study and corrective action processes. In certain instances, the Company has developed a range of estimates for such costs and has recorded a liability based on the best estimate. It is reasonably possible that the actual cost of remediation of the individual sites could vary from the current estimates and the amounts accrued in the consolidated financial statements; however, the amounts of such variances are not expected to result in a material change to the consolidated financial statements. In estimating the Company’s liability for remediation, the Company also considers the likely proportionate share of the anticipated remediation expense and the ability of the other PRPs to fulfill their obligations.

Total environmental reserves at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were $27.8 million and $30.1 million, respectively, for both non-owned and owned sites. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded $3.0 million in reserves. Additionally, the Company spent $5.2 million on environmental matters and the reserve decreased $0.1 million due to foreign currency translation for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The Company’s reserves for environmental liabilities at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 included reserves of $10.2 million and $11.6 million, respectively, for an owned site acquired in connection with the 2005 acquisition of HCC Industries (“HCC”). The Company is the designated performing party for the performance of remedial activities for one of several operating units making up a Superfund site in the San Gabriel Valley of California. The Company has obtained indemnifications and other financial assurances from the former owners of HCC related to the costs of the required remedial activities. At September 30, 2018, the Company had $12.1 million in receivables related to HCC for probable recoveries from third-party escrow funds and other committed third-party funds to support the required remediation. Also, the Company is indemnified by HCC’s former owners for approximately $19 million of additional costs.

The Company has agreements with other former owners of certain of its acquired businesses, as well as new owners of previously owned businesses. Under certain of the agreements, the former or new owners retained, or assumed and agreed to indemnify the Company against, certain environmental and other liabilities under certain circumstances. The Company and some of these other parties also carry insurance coverage for some environmental matters. To date, these parties have met their obligations in all material respects.

 

Schedule 5.8-2


The Company believes it has established reserves for the environmental matters described above, which are sufficient to perform all known responsibilities under existing claims and consent orders. The Company has no reason to believe that other third parties would fail to perform their obligations in the future. In the opinion of management, based on presently available information and the Company’s historical experience related to such matters, an adequate provision for probable costs has been made and the ultimate cost resulting from these actions is not expected to materially affect the consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.

The Company has been remediating groundwater contamination for several contaminants, including trichloroethylene (“TCE”), at a formerly owned site in El Cajon, California. Several lawsuits have been filed against the Company alleging damages resulting from the groundwater contamination, including property damages and personal injury, and seeking compensatory and punitive damages. The Company believes that it has good and valid defenses to each of these claims and intends to defend them vigorously. The Company believes it has established reserves for these lawsuits that are sufficient to satisfy its expected exposure. The Company does not expect the outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, to materially affect the consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.

 

Schedule 5.8-3


SCHEDULE 5.12

COMPLIANCE WITH ERISA

Retirement and Pension Plans

The Company sponsors several retirement and pension plans covering eligible salaried and hourly employees. The plans generally provide benefits based on participants’ years of service and/or compensation. The following is a brief description of the Company’s retirement and pension plans.

The Company maintains contributory and noncontributory defined benefit pension plans. Benefits for eligible salaried and hourly employees under all defined benefit plans are funded through trusts established in conjunction with the plans. The Company’s funding policy with respect to its defined benefit plans is to contribute amounts that provide for benefits based on actuarial calculations and the applicable requirements of U.S. federal and local foreign laws. The Company estimates that it will make both required and discretionary cash contributions of approximately $2 million to $6 million to its worldwide defined benefit pension plans in 2018.

The Company uses a measurement date of December 31 (its fiscal year end) for its U.S. and foreign defined benefit pension plans.

The Company sponsors a 401(k) retirement and savings plan for eligible U.S. employees. Participants in the retirement and savings plan may contribute a specified portion of their compensation on a pre-tax basis, which varies by location. The Company matches employee contributions ranging from 20% to 100%, up to a maximum percentage ranging from 1% to 8% of eligible compensation or up to a maximum of $1,200 per participant in some locations.

The Company’s retirement and savings plan has a defined contribution retirement feature principally to cover U.S. salaried employees joining the Company after December 31, 1996. Under the retirement feature, the Company makes contributions for eligible employees based on a pre-established percentage of the covered employee’s salary subject to pre-established vesting. Employees of certain of the Company’s foreign operations participate in various local defined contribution plans.

The Company has nonqualified unfunded retirement plans for its Directors and certain retired employees. It also provides supplemental retirement benefits, through contractual arrangements and/or a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) covering certain current and former executives of the Company. These supplemental benefits are designed to compensate the executive for retirement benefits that would have been provided under the Company’s primary retirement plan, except for statutory limitations on compensation that must be taken into account under those plans. The projected benefit obligations of the SERP and the contracts will primarily be funded by a grant of shares of the Company’s common stock upon retirement or termination of the executive. The Company is providing for these obligations by charges to earnings over the applicable periods.

The following tables set forth the changes in net projected benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets for the funded and unfunded defined benefit plans for the years ended December 31:

U.S. equity securities and global equity securities categorized as level 1 are traded on national and international exchanges and are valued at their closing prices on the last trading day of the year. For U.S. equity securities and global equity securities not traded on an active exchange, or if the closing price is not available, the trustee obtains indicative quotes from a pricing vendor, broker or investment manager. These securities are categorized as level 2 if the custodian obtains corroborated quotes from a pricing vendor. Additionally, some U.S. equity securities and global equity securities are public investment vehicles valued using the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) provided by the fund manager. The NAV is the total value of the fund divided by the number of shares outstanding.

Fixed income securities categorized as level 1 are traded on national and international exchanges and are valued at their closing prices on the last trading day of the year and categorized as level 2 if valued by the trustee using pricing models that use verifiable observable market data, bids provided by brokers or dealers or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics.

The expected long-term rate of return on these plan assets was 7.50% in 2017 and 7.75% in 2016. Equity securities included 512,565 shares of AMETEK, Inc. common stock with a market value of $37.1 million (6.0% of total plan investment assets) at December 31, 2017 and 512,565 shares of AMETEK, Inc. common stock with a market value of $24.9 million (4.8% of total plan investment assets) at December 31, 2016.

 

Schedule 5.12-4


The objectives of the Company’s U.S. defined benefit plans’ investment strategy are to maximize the plans’ funded status and minimize Company contributions and plan expense. Because the goal is to optimize returns over the long term, an investment policy that favors equity holdings has been established. Since there may be periods of time where both equity and fixed-income markets provide poor returns, an allocation to alternative assets may be made to improve the overall portfolio’s diversification and return potential. The Company periodically reviews its asset allocation, taking into consideration plan liabilities, plan benefit payment streams and the investment strategy of the pension plans. The actual asset allocation is monitored frequently relative to the established targets and ranges and is rebalanced when necessary. The target allocations for the U.S. defined benefits plans are approximately 50% equity securities, 20% fixed-income securities and 30% other securities and/or cash.

The equity portfolio is diversified by market capitalization and style. The equity portfolio also includes international components.

The objective of the fixed-income portion of the pension assets is to provide interest rate sensitivity for a portion of the assets and to provide diversification. The fixed-income portfolio is diversified within certain quality and maturity guidelines in an attempt to minimize the adverse effects of interest rate fluctuations.

Other than for investments in alternative assets, certain investments are prohibited. Prohibited investments include venture capital, private placements, unregistered or restricted stock, margin trading, commodities, short selling and rights and warrants. Foreign currency futures, options and forward contracts may be used to manage foreign currency exposure.

Life insurance assets are considered level 3 investments as their values are determined by the sponsor using unobservable market data.

Alternative investments categorized as level 3 are valued based on unobservable inputs and cannot be corroborated using verifiable observable market data. Investments in level 3 funds are redeemable, however, cash reimbursement may be delayed or a portion held back until asset finalization.

The following is a summary of the changes in the fair value of the foreign plans’ level 3 investments (fair value determined using significant unobservable inputs):

The objective of the Company’s foreign defined benefit plans’ investment strategy is to maximize the long-term rate of return on plan investments, subject to a reasonable level of risk. Liability studies are also performed on a regular basis to provide guidance in setting investment goals with an objective to balance risks against the current and future needs of the plans. The trustees consider the risk associated with the different asset classes, relative to the plans’ liabilities and how this can be affected by diversification, and the relative returns available on equities, fixed-income investments, real estate and cash. Also, the likely volatility of those returns and the cash flow requirements of the plans are considered. It is expected that equities will outperform fixed-income investments over the long term. However, the trustees recognize the fact that fixed-income investments may better match the liabilities for pensioners. Because of the relatively young active employee group covered by the plans and the immature nature of the plans, the trustees have chosen to adopt an asset allocation strategy more heavily weighted toward equity investments. This asset allocation strategy will be reviewed, from time to time, in view of changes in market conditions and in the plans’ liability profile. The target allocations for the foreign defined benefit plans are approximately 70% equity securities, 15% fixed-income securities and 15% other securities, insurance or cash.

The assumption for the expected return on plan assets was developed based on a review of historical investment returns for the investment categories for the defined benefit pension assets. This review also considered current capital market conditions and projected future investment returns. The estimates of future capital market returns by asset class are lower than the actual long-term historical returns. The current low interest rate environment influences this outlook. Therefore, the assumed rate of return for U.S. plans is 7.50% and 6.64% for foreign plans in 2018.

The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for pension plans with a projected benefit obligation in excess of plan assets and pension plans with an accumulated benefit obligation in excess of plan assets were as follows at December 31:

Schedule 5.12-8


Postretirement Plans and Postemployment Benefits

The Company provides limited postretirement benefits other than pensions for certain retirees and a small number of former employees. Benefits under these arrangements are not funded and are not significant.

The Company also provides limited postemployment benefits for certain former or inactive employees after employment but before retirement. Those benefits are not significant in amount.

The Company has a deferred compensation plan, which allows employees whose compensation exceeds the statutory IRS limit for retirement benefits to defer a portion of earned bonus compensation. The plan permits deferred amounts to be deemed invested in either, or a combination of, (a) an interest-bearing account, benefits from which are payable out of the general assets of the Company, or (b) the equivalent of a fund which invests in shares of the Company’s common stock on behalf of the employee. The amount deferred under the plan, including income earned, was $25.4 million and $25.2 million at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Administrative expense for the deferred compensation plan is borne by the Company and is not significant.

Multiemployer Defined Benefit Pension Plan

For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded $6.0 million in costs as a result of its decision to withdraw from a multiemployer pension plan serving a facility that is currently operating.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

2018 Third Quarter 10-Q Excerpt

Certain historic processes in the manufacture of products have resulted in environmentally hazardous waste by-products as defined by federal and state laws and regulations. At September 30, 2018, the Company is named a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) at 13 non-AMETEK-owned former waste disposal or treatment sites (the “non-owned” sites). The Company is identified as a “de minimis” party in 12 of these sites based on the low volume of waste attributed to the Company relative to the amounts attributed to other named PRPs. In eight of these sites, the Company has reached a tentative agreement on the cost of the de minimis settlement to satisfy its obligation and is awaiting executed agreements. The tentatively agreed-to settlement amounts are fully reserved. In the other four sites, the Company is continuing to investigate the accuracy of the alleged volume attributed to the Company as estimated by the parties primarily responsible for remedial activity at the sites to establish an appropriate settlement amount. At the remaining site where the Company is a non-de minimis PRP, the Company is participating in the investigation and/or related required remediation as part of a PRP Group and reserves have been established sufficient to satisfy the Company’s expected obligations. The Company historically has resolved these issues within established reserve levels and reasonably expects this result will continue. In addition to these non-owned sites, the Company has an ongoing practice of providing reserves for probable remediation activities at certain of its current or previously owned manufacturing locations (the “owned” sites). For claims and proceedings against the Company with respect to other environmental matters, reserves are established once the Company has determined that a loss is probable and estimable. This estimate is refined as the Company moves through the various stages of investigation, risk assessment, feasibility study and corrective action processes. In certain instances, the Company has developed a range of estimates for such costs and has recorded a liability based on the best estimate. It is reasonably possible that the actual cost of remediation of the individual sites could vary from the current estimates and the amounts accrued in the consolidated financial statements; however, the amounts of such variances are not expected to result in a material change to the consolidated financial statements. In estimating the Company’s liability for remediation, the Company also considers the likely proportionate share of the anticipated remediation expense and the ability of the other PRPs to fulfill their obligations.

Total environmental reserves at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were $27.8 million and $30.1 million, respectively, for both non-owned and owned sites. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded $3.0 million in reserves. Additionally, the Company spent $5.2 million on environmental matters and the reserve decreased $0.1 million due to foreign currency translation for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The Company’s reserves for environmental liabilities at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 included reserves of $10.2 million and $11.6 million, respectively, for an owned site acquired in connection with the 2005 acquisition of HCC Industries (“HCC”). The Company is the designated performing party for the performance of remedial activities for one of several

operating units making up a Superfund site in the San Gabriel Valley of California. The Company has obtained indemnifications and other financial assurances from the former owners of HCC related to the costs of the required remedial activities. At September 30, 2018, the Company had $12.1 million in receivables related to HCC for probable recoveries from third-party escrow funds and other committed third-party funds to support the required remediation. Also, the Company is indemnified by HCC’s former owners for approximately $19 million of additional costs.

The Company has agreements with other former owners of certain of its acquired businesses, as well as new owners of previously owned businesses. Under certain of the agreements, the former or new owners retained, or assumed and agreed to indemnify the Company against, certain environmental and other liabilities under certain circumstances. The Company and some of these other parties also carry insurance coverage for some environmental matters. To date, these parties have met their obligations in all material respects.

 

 

Schedule 5.18-2


The Company believes it has established reserves for the environmental matters described above, which are sufficient to perform all known responsibilities under existing claims and consent orders. The Company has no reason to believe that other third parties would fail to perform their obligations in the future. In the opinion of management, based on presently available information and the Company’s historical experience related to such matters, an adequate provision for probable costs has been made and the ultimate cost resulting from these actions is not expected to materially affect the consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.

The Company has been remediating groundwater contamination for several contaminants, including trichloroethylene (“TCE”), at a formerly owned site in El Cajon, California. Several lawsuits have been filed against the Company alleging damages resulting from the groundwater contamination, including property damages and personal injury, and seeking compensatory and punitive damages. The Company believes that it has good and valid defenses to each of these claims and intends to defend them vigorously. The Company believes it has established reserves for these lawsuits that are sufficient to satisfy its expected exposure. The Company does not expect the outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, to materially affect the consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.
