SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of July 28, 2004, among DICK’S SPORTING GOODS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), the other Loan Parties signatory hereto, the Lenders signatory hereto from time to time (each individually a “Lender” and collectively “Lenders”), GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (in its individual capacity, “GE Capital”), for itself, as Lender, and as Agent for Lenders (in such capacity, “Agent”), CITIZEN’S BANK OF PENNSYLVANIA and NATIONAL CITY BUSINESS CREDIT, INC., as co-documentation agents, and FLEET RETAIL GROUP, INC., as syndication agent.

 

R E C I T A L S

 

A.            Borrower, the lenders parties thereto (the “Existing Lenders”) and General Electric Capital Corporation, as agent for the Existing Lenders, are parties to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 26, 2000, as amended, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time prior to the date hereof (the “Existing Credit Agreement”).

 

B.            Diamondbacks Acquisition Inc., an Indiana corporation (“Acquirer”), a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Borrower, has made a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for all of the outstanding shares of common stock, no par value (the “Shares”), of Galyan’s Trading Company, Inc., an Indiana corporation (“Galyan’s”) at a purchase price of $16.75 per Share.

 

C.            Upon the consummation of the Tender Offer (i) if the number of Shares tendered is less than the Short-Form Merger Threshold but greater than the Minimum Shares (a “Long Form Event”), and the required vote of the shareholders of Galyan’s to consummate the Acquisition (as hereinafter defined) is obtained, or (ii) if the number of Shares tendered is greater than or equal to the Short-Form Merger Threshold, Acquirer shall be merged with and into Galyan’s (the “Merger” and together with the Tender Offer, the “Acquisition”), resulting in Galyan’s becoming a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Borrower.

 

D.            Borrower has requested that Lenders extend revolving credit facilities to Borrower of up to $350,000,000 in the aggregate for the purposes of: (a) (i) if a Long Form Event shall have occurred, Borrower advancing funds to Acquirer to purchase from time to time the tendered Shares of Galyan’s (the “Acquirer Loan”), and Borrower advancing funds to Galyan’s to refinance the Indebtedness evidenced by the Existing Galyan’s Credit Agreement and provide working capital to Galyan’s (the “Galyan’s Loan”), or (ii) if the Short Form Threshold has been obtained, funding a portion of the Acquisition pursuant to the Acquirer Loan and/or a capital contribution made by Borrower to Acquirer in a manner satisfactory to Agent, (b) refinancing the Indebtedness evidenced by the Existing Galyan’s Credit Agreement, and (c) providing (i) working capital financing for Borrower and its Subsidiaries, (ii) funds for other general corporate purposes of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and (iii) funds for the purposes otherwise permitted hereunder; and for these purposes, Lenders are willing to make and continue to make certain loans and other extensions of credit to Borrower of up to such amount upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

E.             If Acquirer finances a portion of the Tender Offer with the Acquirer Loan and, in any event, if the Long Form Event shall have occurred, (i) Acquirer shall issue an intercompany

 

1



 

note to Borrower to evidence the Acquirer Loan (the “Acquirer Intercompany Note”), which shall be unsecured, (ii) Acquirer shall guaranty the Obligations, and (iii) Galyan’s shall issue an intercompany note to Borrower evidencing the Galyan’s Loan (the “Galyan’s Intercompany Note”), which note shall be secured by the assets of Galyan’s consistent with those types of assets of Borrower securing the Obligations and shall be pledged (together with the collateral supporting such note) by Borrower to Agent for the benefit of Lenders (the “Galyan’s Pledge”), and shall otherwise be in form and substance satisfactory to Agent.

 

F.             If the Short Form Merger Threshold shall have been attained, Acquirer will finance a portion of the Tender Offer with either the Acquirer Loan or with the proceeds of a capital contribution from Borrower to Acquirer, and upon consummation of the Merger, (i) if a portion of the Tender Offer is financed with the Acquirer Loan, Galyan’s shall assume the obligations of Acquirer under such Acquirer Loan, (ii) Galyan’s shall guaranty the Obligations and pledge its assets consistent with those types of assets of Borrower securing the Obligations to secure such guaranty, and (iii) Borrower shall pledge the Stock of Galyan’s to secure the Obligations.

 

G.            Upon the consummation of the Tender Offer, Galyan’s and its Subsidiaries will become Subsidiaries of the Borrower.  Notwithstanding Galyan’s and its Subsidiaries status as Subsidiaries of the Borrower, unless the Merger is consummated on the Closing Date, Galyan’s and its Subsidiaries shall be Loan Parties for purposes of this Agreement, but shall not become a signatory to this Agreement before the Merger is consummated, and simultaneously therewith Galyan’s and its Subsidiaries shall execute a joinder in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent.

 

H.            Each of the parties hereto wishes to and agrees to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

I.              It is the intent of the parties hereto that this Agreement not constitute a novation of the obligations and liabilities existing under the Existing Credit Agreement or evidence payment of all or any of such obligations and liabilities, that this Agreement amend and restate in its entirety the Existing Credit Agreement, and that from and after the date hereof, the Existing Credit Agreement be of no further force and effect except as to evidence the incurrence of the “Obligations” thereunder and the representations and warranties made thereunder.

 

J.             Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein (including the Recitals hereto) shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in Annex A and, for purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the rules of construction set forth in Annex A shall govern.  Unless otherwise indicated, all references in this Agreement to sections, subsections, schedules, exhibits, and attachments shall refer to the corresponding sections, subsections, schedules, exhibits, and attachments of or to this Agreement.  All schedules, annexes, exhibits and attachments hereto, or expressly identified to this Agreement, are incorporated herein by reference, and taken together, shall constitute but a single agreement.  Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, or in a written amendment referring to such schedules and annexes, all schedules and annexes referred to herein shall mean the schedules and annexes as in effect as of the Closing Date.  These Recitals shall be construed as part of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree that, effective on the Closing Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be and hereby is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

1.             AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CREDIT

 

1.1           Revolving Credit Advances.

 

(a)           Upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make available (and continue outstanding any such advances outstanding pursuant to the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement), from time to time, until the Commitment Termination Date, for Borrower’s use and upon the request of Borrower therefor to Agent, advances (each, including any such advances outstanding pursuant to the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement, together with any payments made in respect of any Letter of Credit Obligations which are automatically deemed to constitute Revolving Credit Advances pursuant to paragraph (b)(i) of Annex F, a “Revolving Credit Advance”) in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding up to but not exceeding the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender, provided that in no event shall the principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loan exceed the Borrowing Availability.  Borrower may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Credit Advances under this Section 1.1; provided that Borrower shall give Agent notice of each such borrowing as provided in Section 1.1(c).

 

(b)           Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, at the request of Borrower, in its discretion Agent may (but shall have absolutely no obligation to) make Revolving Credit Advances to Borrower on behalf of Lenders to maintain, protect or preserve the Collateral and/or the Agent’s rights under the Loan Documents in amounts that cause the outstanding balance of the aggregate Revolving Credit Loan to exceed Borrowing Availability (any such excess Revolving Credit Advances are herein referred to collectively as “Overadvances”); provided that (A) no such event or occurrence shall cause or constitute a waiver of Agent’s or Lenders’ right to refuse to make any further Overadvances or Revolving Credit Advances, or incur any Letter of Credit Obligations, as the case may be, at any time that an Overadvance exists, and (B) no Overadvance shall result in a Default based on Borrower’s failure to comply with Section 1.2(b) for so long as Agent permits such Overadvance to be outstanding, but solely with respect to the amount of such Overadvance.  In addition, Overadvances may be made even if the conditions to lending set forth in Section 2 have not been met.  All Overadvances shall constitute Index Rate Loans, shall bear interest at the Default Rate and shall be payable on demand.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.10, the authority of Agent to make Overadvances is limited to an aggregate amount not to exceed $15,000,000 at any time (the “Maximum Overadvance”), shall not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Loan to exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment, may be revoked prospectively by a written notice to Agent signed by Required Lenders, shall not remain outstanding for more than sixty (60) consecutive days (with no less than five (5) Business Days between each such 60-day period), and shall not be permitted to occur more than two (2) times in any twelve month period.

 

(c)           Each Revolving Credit Advance shall be made on notice by Borrower to Agent at its address at 201 Merritt 7, Norwalk, CT 06856, Attention: Dick’s Account Manager, Telephone No. (203) 229-5000, Telecopy No. (203) 229-5787.  Those notices must be given no

later than (1) 12:00 noon (New York time) on the Business Day of the proposed Revolving Credit Advance, in the case of an Index Rate Loan, or (2) 12:00 noon (New York time) on the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Revolving Credit Advance, in the case of a LIBOR Loan.  Each such notice (a “Notice of Revolving Credit Advance”) must be given in writing (by telecopy or overnight courier) substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1, and shall include the information required in such Exhibit and such other information as may be required by Agent.  Subject to Section 1.13, Agent shall promptly (and in any event prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any day it receives a Notice of Revolving Credit Advance if the applicable borrowing is to occur on such day or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such day otherwise) notify each Lender thereof and on or prior to 3:00 p.m. on the date specified for such borrowing each Lender shall make available the amount of the Revolving Credit Advance(s) to be made by it on such date to Agent to such account of Agent as Agent may designate, in immediately available funds, for the account of Borrower.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Borrower desires to have the Revolving Credit Advances bear interest by reference to a LIBOR Rate, Borrower must comply with Section 1.1(d).

 

(d)           So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and subject to the additional conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.2, Borrower shall have the option to (i) request that any Revolving Credit Advance be made as a LIBOR Loan, (ii) convert at any time all or any part of outstanding Loans from Index Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans, (iii) convert any LIBOR Loan to an Index Rate Loan, subject to payment of LIBOR breakage costs in accordance with Section 1.15(c) if such conversion is made prior to the expiration of the LIBOR Period applicable thereto, or (iv) continue all or any portion of any Loan as a LIBOR Loan upon the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Period and the succeeding LIBOR Period of that continued Loan shall commence on the last day of the LIBOR Period of the Loan to be continued.  Any Loan to be made or continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Loan must be in a minimum amount of $1,500,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of such amount.  Any such election must be made by 12:00 noon (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to (1) the date of any proposed Advance which is to bear interest at the LIBOR Rate, (2) the end of each LIBOR Period with respect to any LIBOR Loans to be continued as such, or (3) the date on which Borrower wishes to convert any Index Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan for a LIBOR Period designated by Borrower in such election.  If no election is received with respect to a LIBOR Loan by 12:00 noon (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the end of the LIBOR Period with respect thereto (or if a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or the additional conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.2 shall not have been satisfied), that LIBOR Loan shall be converted to an Index Rate Loan at the end of its LIBOR Period.  Borrower must make such election by notice to Agent in writing, by telecopy or overnight courier.  In the case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) in the form of Exhibit A-2.  Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon and shall be fully protected under this Agreement in relying upon any Notice of Revolving Credit Advance or Notice of Conversion/Continuation reasonably believed by Agent to be genuine and to assume that the persons executing and delivering the same were duly authorized unless the responsible individual acting thereon for Agent shall have actual knowledge to the contrary.

(e)           The Revolving Credit Advances made by each Lender (including any such advances made pursuant to the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement) shall be evidenced by a single promissory note of Borrower for each Lender substantially in the form of Exhibit C, dated the Closing Date, payable to such Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment as in effect on the Closing Date and otherwise duly completed.  The date and amount of each Revolving Credit Advance made by such Lender to Borrower and the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal thereof shall be recorded on the books and records of such Lender, which books and records shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information therein recorded, provided that the failure of such Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligation of Borrower to make a payment when due of any amount owing hereunder or under such Lender’s Revolving Credit Note.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender agrees on the Closing Date to exchange its Revolving Credit Note (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) for such Lender’s Revolving Credit Note issued pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(f)            Borrower shall furnish to Agent and each Lender a Borrowing Base Certificate completed and signed by an Executive Officer, which sets forth a calculation of the Borrowing Base at the times and for the periods set forth in Annex D and be in the form of Exhibit B-1 or B-2, as applicable, or with respect to Galyan’s prior to the consummation of the Merger, in such form as is acceptable to Agent.  Borrower agrees that in making any Revolving Credit Advance hereunder Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to rely upon the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered to Agent by Borrower.  Borrower further agrees that if Borrower shall have failed to deliver a Borrowing Base Certificate to Agent within the specified period Lenders shall be under no obligation to make any further Revolving Credit Advances or incur Letter of Credit Obligations until such time as such certificate is delivered to Agent and Lenders.

 

(g)           The failure of any Lender (such Lender until such failure has been cured by such Lender, a “Non-Funding Lender”) to make any Revolving Credit Advance to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its obligation to make its Revolving Credit Advance on such date, but neither any Other Lender nor Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Revolving Credit Advance to be made by such Non-Funding Lender, and no Non-Funding Lender shall have any obligation to Agent or any Other Lender for the failure by such Non-Funding Lender.  Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or constitute a “Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Required Lenders” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Revolving Credit Notes (including exercising any rights of off-set) without first obtaining the prior written consent of Agent or Required Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Revolving Credit Notes shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Required Lenders and not individually by a single Lender.

(h)           To the extent any amounts are due and owing from Borrower on account of the Obligations, Agent may make Revolving Credit Advances for Borrower’s account pursuant to Section 1.10.

 

(i)            Revolving Credit Loan Under Existing Credit Agreement. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that as of the Closing Date (i) the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Loan under the Existing Credit Agreement equals $0 and that such Revolving Credit Loan is continued as Revolving Credit Loan hereunder; and (ii) Letters of Credit are outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement having a stated amount of $15,148,262.04 and such Letters of Credit are continued as Letters of Credit hereunder.  All Revolving Credit Commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement shall hereinafter, to the extent applicable, be deemed assigned without recourse and re-allocated among the Lender’s respective Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder, and after giving effect hereto, the percentages of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders hereunder are as set forth on Appendix 1 hereto for all purposes hereof.  The extensions of credit made by the Existing Lenders shall, effective as of the Closing Date, be evidenced and governed by this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

 

1.2           Repayment; Termination of Commitment.

 

(a)           Borrower hereby promises to pay to Agent for account of each Lender the entire outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loan and all other outstanding Obligations (including any Revolving Credit Advances made pursuant to the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement), and the Revolving Credit Loan and all other outstanding Obligations shall mature, on the Commitment Termination Date.

 

(b)           Except as permitted by Section 1.1(b), in the event that the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loan shall, at any time, exceed the Borrowing Availability, Borrower shall immediately repay the Revolving Credit Loan in the amount of such excess. In the event that, at any time, no Revolving Credit Advances are outstanding and the Letter of Credit Obligations exceed the Borrowing Base then in effect, Borrower shall make arrangements, as provided in paragraph (c) of Annex F, for satisfaction of Letter of Credit Obligations in the amount of such excess.

 

(c)           Borrower shall have the right at any time upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Agent to voluntarily terminate or permanently reduce (but not terminate) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment without premium or penalty, provided that (i) any such reductions shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $250,000, (ii) after giving effect to such reductions, Borrower shall comply with Section 1.2(b), and (iii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be reduced to less than $150,000,000.  Upon any such reduction or termination, Borrower’s right to receive Revolving Credit Advances, and the benefit of Letter of Credit Obligations and Borrower’s obligation to pay the Non-use Fee shall simultaneously be permanently reduced or terminated, as the case may be, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Loan Document, upon any such termination, the entire outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Loan and all other Obligations shall be immediately due and payable.  On the date of such termination, Borrower shall pay to Agent in immediately available funds all of the Obligations, and any accrued and

 

6



 

unpaid interest thereon, and make arrangements, in accordance with paragraph (c) of Annex F, for satisfaction of any outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations.

 

1.3           Use of Proceeds.  Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loan only for (a) payment of Fees, expenses and other costs incurred in connection with the Transaction, (b) funding a portion of the Acquisition (including, if applicable, providing the funds for the Acquirer Loan and the Galyan’s Loan), (c) refinancing certain indebtedness of Galyan’s and (d) providing (i) working capital financing for Borrower and its Subsidiaries, (ii) funds for other general corporate purposes of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and (iii) funds for the purposes otherwise permitted hereunder, including those referred to in Recital D hereof; and for these purposes, Lenders are willing to make certain loans and other extensions of credit to Borrower of up to such amount upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

1.4           Interest on Revolving Credit Advances.

 

(a)           Borrower shall pay interest on the Revolving Credit Loan to Agent for the account of each Lender, (i) in the case of Index Rate Loans, in arrears for the preceding calendar month, on the second Business Day of each calendar month commencing on the second Business Day of the calendar month immediately following the Closing Date, (ii) in the case of LIBOR Loans, in arrears, on the last day of each LIBOR Period therefor, (iii) on the Commitment Termination Date, and (iv) if any interest accrues or remains payable after the Commitment Termination Date, upon demand.  If any interest or other payment under this Agreement becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (except as set forth in the definition of LIBOR Period) and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

 

(b)           Borrower shall be obligated to pay interest to Agent for the account of each Lender on the outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Loan (i) with respect to Index Rate Loans at a floating rate equal to the Index Rate (as in effect from time to time) plus the Applicable Margin, and (ii) with respect to LIBOR Loans, for each LIBOR Period relating thereto, the LIBOR Rate for such Loan for such LIBOR Period plus the Applicable Margin.  All computations of interest shall be made by Agent and on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year, in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.  Each determination by Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error or bad faith.

 

(c)           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, (i) any outstanding LIBOR Loan may be converted by the Agent (in its discretion) to an Index Rate Loan, and (ii) the Required Lenders may in their discretion, by giving notice to Borrower of their intention to do so, increase as of the date of such notice the interest rate applicable to all of the Obligations, including the Revolving Credit Loan, to the Default Rate and increase the rate for calculation of Letter of Credit Fees by two percent (2%) per annum above the rate otherwise applicable; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 8.1(f), (g) or (h), the interest rate applicable to all of the Obligations and the rate for calculation of Letter of Credit Fees shall be increased automatically as provided above without the necessity of any action on the part of Required Lenders.

(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 1.4, if, at any time until the Termination Date, the rate of interest payable to any Lender hereunder exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then in such event and so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable hereunder to such Lender shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder to such Lender at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by such Lender from the making of Revolving Credit Advances hereunder is equal to the total interest which such Lender would have received had the interest rate payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement.  Thereafter, the interest rate payable to such Lender hereunder shall be the rate of interest provided in Sections 1.4(a) through (c) of this Agreement, unless and until the rate of interest again exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, in which event this paragraph shall again apply.  In no event shall the total interest received by any Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount which such Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate.  In the event the Maximum Lawful Rate is calculated pursuant to this paragraph, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made.  In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.4(d), shall make a final determination that a Lender has received interest hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, such Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, promptly apply such excess first to any lawful interest due and not yet paid hereunder, then to the outstanding principal of the Obligations, then to Fees and any other unpaid Obligations and thereafter shall refund any excess to Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order.

 

1.5           Eligible Inventory.  Based on the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by Borrower to Agent and on other information available to Agent, Agent shall determine which Inventory shall be deemed Eligible Inventory for purposes of determining the amounts, if any, to be advanced to Borrower under the Revolving Credit Loan.

 

1.6           Fees.

 

(a)           Borrower agrees to pay to Agent for the account of Lenders an unused facility fee (the “Non-use Fee”) equal to the Applicable Unused Line Fee Margin per annum on the difference between (x) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment (as it may be reduced from time to time) and (y) the average for the period of the daily closing balances of the aggregate Revolving Credit Loan and aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations, payable in arrears (i) for the preceding calendar month, on the second Business Day of the succeeding calendar month commencing on the second Business Day of the calendar month immediately succeeding the Closing Date, and (ii) on the Commitment Termination Date.  All computations of the foregoing fee shall be made by Agent on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year, and for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such fee is payable.

 

8



 

(b)           Borrower agrees to pay to Agent on the Closing Date, for the account of each Existing Lender, a non refundable amendment fee equal to 0.10% of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Existing Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement (the “Existing Commitment”), which amount shall be $180,000 in the aggregate.

 

(c)           Borrower agrees to pay to Agent on the Closing Date, for the account of each Lender, a non refundable commitment fee equal to 0.25% of the difference between the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender and the Existing Commitment, if any, of such Lender, which amount shall be $425,000 in the aggregate.

 

(d)           Borrower agrees to pay to Agent for the account of Lenders the Letter of Credit Fee as provided in Annex F.

 

(e)           Borrower agrees to pay to Agent for its own account and the Lenders’ account, as the case may be, such other fees and charges as are set forth in the fee letter between Borrower and Agent dated as of July 7, 2004 (the “GE Capital Fee Letter”), at the times specified for payment therein.

 

1.7           Cash Management System.  On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower will establish and maintain (or cause to be established and maintained) until the Termination Date the cash management system described in Annex B.

 

1.8           Receipt of Payments.  Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars in immediately available funds to the Collection Account.  For purposes of computing interest and Fees and receipt of payments (a) all payments (including cash sweeps) consisting of cash, wire, or electronic transfers in immediately available funds shall be deemed received by Agent upon deposit no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) in the Collection Account in accordance with the blocked account agreement governing the Concentration Account and (b) all payments consisting of checks, drafts, or similar non-cash items shall be deemed received two (2) Business Days following deposit in the Collection Account (together with notice to Agent of such deposit). For purposes of determining the Borrowing Availability:  (a) all payments (including cash sweeps) consisting of cash, wire, or electronic transfers in immediately available funds shall be deemed received by Agent upon deposit in the Collection Account in accordance with the blocked account agreement governing the Concentration Account; and (b) all payments consisting of checks, drafts, or similar non-cash items shall be deemed received upon deposit in the Collection Account (together with notice to Agent of such deposit).  Subject to Section 1.13, each payment received by Agent under this Agreement or any Revolving Credit Note or any other Loan Documents for the account of the Lenders shall be paid by Agent promptly to the Lenders, in the same funds received, for application to the Revolving Credit Advances or other Obligations in respect of which such payment is made.

 

1.9           Proportionate Shares.  Except to the extent otherwise provided herein and subject to Section 1.13: (i) each borrowing of the Revolving Credit Loan from Lenders shall be incurred and made by the Lenders according to their respective Proportionate Shares; and (ii) each payment or prepayment of principal of the Revolving Credit Loan by Borrower shall be made for the account of the relevant Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares; and

 

9



 

(iii) each payment of interest on the Revolving Credit Loan, Non-use Fees and Letter of Credit Fees by Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders in accordance with their Proportionate Shares.

 

1.10         Application and Allocation of Payments.  Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times hereafter received from or on behalf of Borrower, and Borrower irrevocably agrees that Agent shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply any and all such payments against the then due and payable Obligations and in repayment of the Revolving Credit Loan, Letter of Credit Obligations and other Obligations as Agent may deem advisable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the absence of a specific determination by Agent with respect thereto or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the same shall be applied in the following order: (a) the principal of any Revolving Credit Advances made by Agent under Section 1.13(a); (b) then due and payable Fees, expenses and other Obligations owing to Agent; (c) then due and payable Fees and expenses of Lenders; (d) then due and payable interest payments on the Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with Section 1.13(d); (e) other than the principal described in clause (a) above, principal of the Revolving Credit Loan; (f) to provide cash collateral for any Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Annex F, (g) Obligations to Lenders other than Fees, expenses and interest and principal payments; and (h) to the extent there are no other Obligations then due and payable, to Borrower or its successors or assigns or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.  Agent on behalf of Lenders is authorized to, and at its option may, make or cause to be made Revolving Credit Advances by Lenders on behalf of Borrower for payment of all Fees, expenses, charges, costs, principal, interest or other Obligations then due and payable by Borrower under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents (including any payments made by Agent under Section 5.5(a) or any costs or expenses payable by Borrower under Section 11.2), even if the conditions precedent in Section 2.2 have not been satisfied with respect to such Revolving Credit Advance, including if the making of such Revolving Credit Advances causes the outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Loan to exceed the Borrowing Availability.

 

1.11         Non-Receipt of Funds by Agent.  Unless Agent shall have been notified by a Lender or Borrower (“Payor”) prior to the date on which (i) such Lender is to make payment to Agent of the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Advance to be made by such Lender hereunder or (ii) Borrower is to make payment to Agent for account of one or more of Lenders hereunder (such payment being herein called the “Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to Agent, Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient(s) on such date; and, if Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to Agent, the recipient(s) of such payment shall, on demand, repay to Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by Agent until the date Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Index Rate for such period.  Nothing in this Section 1.11 or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

 

10



 

1.12         Sharing of Payments, Etc.

 

(a)           Borrower agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim a Lender may otherwise have, each Lender shall be entitled, at its option (but subject, as between Lenders, to the provisions of the last sentence of Section 1.1(g)), to offset balances held by it for the account of Borrower at any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, against any principal of or interest on any of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Advances or any other amount payable to such Lender hereunder, that is not paid when due (regardless of whether such balances are then due to Borrower), in which case it shall promptly notify Borrower and Agent thereof, provided that such Lender’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof.  For avoidance of doubt and for purposes of determining whether any adjustments are required pursuant to the terms of Section 1.12(b), no effect shall be given to any Obligations owing in respect of Interest Rate Agreements.

 

(b)           If any Lender (including Agent) shall obtain from Borrower payment of any principal of or interest on any Revolving Credit Advance owing to it or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any Revolving Credit Note held by it or any other Loan Document through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have received more than its Proportionate Share of the principal of or interest on the Revolving Credit Advances or such other amounts then due hereunder or thereunder by Borrower to such Lender than the percentage received by any other Lender, it shall promptly pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, the amount of such excess and simultaneously purchase from such other Lenders a participation in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Revolving Credit Advances or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders (or in interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares.  Amounts received by Agent under this paragraph shall be treated as a payment received by Borrower under Section 1.10.  To such end all Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participation sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.  For the avoidance of doubt and for purposes of determining whether any adjustments are required pursuant to the terms of this Section 1.12(b), no effect shall be given to any Obligations owing in respect of Interest Rate Agreements.

 

(c)           Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a participation (or direct interest) may exercise, in a manner consistent with Section 1.12(a), all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Revolving Credit Advances or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.

 

(d)           Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of Borrower.  If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in

 

11



 

lieu of a set-off to which this Section 1.12 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, assign such rights to Agent for the benefit of Lenders and, in any event, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of Lenders entitled under this Section 1.12 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

 

1.13         Settlement Procedures.

 

(a)           In order to administer the Revolving Credit Loan in an efficient manner and to minimize the transfer of funds between Agent and Lenders, so long as the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.1 and Section 2.2, as the case may be, remain satisfied, Agent may, in its discretion, subject to the following paragraphs (b), (c) and (d), make available, on behalf of Lenders, the full amount of the Revolving Credit Advances in an amount of up to $35,000,000 outstanding on any day (after application of payments received on such day) requested or deemed requested by Borrower pursuant to Section 1.1(c) and Section 1.1(h), without notice to Lenders of the proposed Revolving Credit Advance pursuant to Section 1.1(c).

 

(b)           If Agent shall have made one or more Revolving Credit Advances on behalf of Lenders as provided in this Section 1.13(b), the amount of each Lender’s Proportionate Share of the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances (for purposes of this Section 1.13(b)) shall be computed weekly rather than daily and shall be adjusted upward or downward on the basis of the amount of the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances as of 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of each computation; provided, that Agent retains the absolute right at any time or from time to time to make the above described adjustments at intervals more frequent than weekly.  Agent shall deliver to each of the Lenders after the end of each week, or such lesser period or periods as Agent shall determine, a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Advances for such period (such week or lesser period or periods being hereafter referred to as a “Settlement Period”).  If the summary statement is sent by Agent and received by a Lender prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) then such Lender shall make the transfers described in the next succeeding sentence no later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day such summary statement was sent, and if such summary statement is sent by Agent and received by a Lender after 12:00 Noon (New York City time), such Lender shall make such transfers no later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the next succeeding Business Day.  If, in any Settlement Period, the amount of a Lender’s Proportionate Share of the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances is more than such Lender’s Proportionate Share of the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances for the previous Settlement Period, then such Lender shall forthwith (but in no event later than the time set forth in the next preceding sentence) transfer to Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds the amount of the increase; and on the other hand, if the amount of a Lender’s Proportionate Share of the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances in any Settlement Period is less than the amount of such Lender’s Proportionate Share of the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances for the previous Settlement Period, Agent shall forthwith transfer to such Lender by wire transfer in immediately available funds the amount of the decrease.  The obligation of each of the Lenders to transfer such funds shall be irrevocable and unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by Agent.  Each of Agent and Lenders agrees to mark its books and records at the end of each Settlement Period to show at all times the Dollar amount of its Proportionate Share of the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances.

 

12



 

(c)           To the extent that Agent has made any such amounts available and the settlement described above shall not yet have occurred, upon repayment of any Revolving Credit Advances by Borrower, Agent may apply such amounts repaid directly to any amounts made available by Agent pursuant to Section 1.13(a).

 

(d)           Because Agent, on behalf of Lenders, may be advancing or may be repaid Revolving Credit Advances prior to the time when Lenders will actually advance or be repaid Revolving Credit Advances, interest, Non-use Fees and Letter of Credit Fees with respect to the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances shall be allocated by Agent to each Lender (including Agent in its capacity as a Lender), and the amount of each Lender’s (including Agent’s in its capacity as a Lender) Proportionate Share shall be computed daily, in accordance with the amount of the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances actually advanced by and repaid to each Lender (including Agent in its capacity as a Lender) on each day during each Settlement Period and shall accrue from and including the date such Revolving Credit Advances are advanced by Agent to but excluding the date such Revolving Credit Advances are repaid by Borrower in accordance with Section 1.2 or actually settled by the applicable Lender as described in this Section 1.13.  On the second Business Day of each calendar month (an “Interest Settlement Date”), Agent will advise each Lender by telephone, telecopy or other form of written transmission of the amount of such Lender’s Proportionate Share of interest paid and Non-use Fees and Letter of Credit Fees paid for the benefit of Lenders on the Revolving Credit Loan as of such Interest Settlement Date.  Provided that such Lender has made all payments required to be made by it under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Agent will pay to such Lender, by wire transfer to such Lender not later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on the next Business Day following the Interest Settlement Date, such Lender’s Proportionate Share of interest paid and Non-use Fees and Letter of Credit Fees paid for the benefit of Lenders on the Revolving Credit Loan.

 

1.14         Accounting.  Agent will provide a monthly accounting of transactions under the Revolving Credit Loan to Borrower.  Each and every such accounting shall (absent manifest error) be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrower in all respects as to all matters reflected therein, unless Borrower, within thirty (30) days after the date any such accounting is rendered, shall notify Agent in writing of any objection which Borrower may have to any such accounting, describing the basis for such objection with specificity.  In that event, only those items expressly objected to in such notice shall be deemed to be disputed by Borrower.  Agent’s determination, based upon the facts available, of any disputed item shall (absent manifest error) be final, binding and conclusive on Borrower.

 

1.15         Indemnity.

 

(a)           Each Loan Party that is a signatory hereto shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and their respective attorneys and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”), harmless from and against any and all suits, actions, costs, fines, deficiencies, penalties, proceedings, claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other costs of investigations or defense, including those incurred upon any appeal) (each, a “Claim”) which may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by such Indemnified Person as the result of credit having been extended

 

13



 

under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder, including any and all Environmental Liabilities and Costs and regardless of whether the Indemnified Person is a party to such Claim, provided, that Borrower shall not be liable for any indemnification to such Indemnified Person with respect to any portion of any such Claim which results solely from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  The foregoing indemnity obligations of Borrower shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other liability or obligations that Borrower or any other Person may have to any Indemnified Person, by contract, at common law or otherwise, included but not limited to any right of contribution.  NO INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO, ANY SUCCESSOR, ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OF SUCH PERSON OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF CREDIT HAVING BEEN EXTENDED UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY.

 

In any suit proceeding or action brought by Agent or Lenders relating to any Collateral for any sum owing in respect thereof or to enforce any provision of any Collateral, Borrower shall save, indemnify and keep Agent and Lenders harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the obligor thereunder arising out of a breach by Borrower of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to, or in favor of, such obligor or its successors from Borrower, all such obligations of Borrower shall be and remain enforceable against, and only against, Borrower and shall not be enforceable against Agent or Lenders.

 

(b)           Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither Agent nor any Lender (as of the date hereof) is now or has ever been in control of any of the Subject Property or the affairs of any Loan Party.

 

(c)           To induce Lenders to provide the LIBOR Rate option on the terms provided herein, if (i) any LIBOR Loans are repaid in whole or in part prior to the last day of any applicable LIBOR Period (whether that repayment is made pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or is the result of acceleration, by operation of law or otherwise); (ii) Borrower shall default in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any LIBOR Loan; (iii) Borrower shall default in making any borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans after Borrower has given notice requesting the same in accordance herewith; or (iv) Borrower shall fail to make any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan after Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance herewith, Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Lender from and against all losses, costs and expenses resulting from or arising from any of the foregoing.  Such indemnification shall include any loss (including loss of margin) or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate deposits from which such funds were obtained.  For the purpose of calculating amounts payable to a Lender under this Section, each Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant LIBOR Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest

 

14



 

at the LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of that LIBOR Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this Section.  This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Revolving Credit Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.  As promptly as practicable under the circumstances, each Lender shall provide Borrower with its written calculation of all amounts payable pursuant to this Section 1.15(c), and such calculation shall be binding on the parties hereto unless Borrower shall object in writing within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt thereof, specifying the basis for such objection in detail.

 

1.16         Access.  Each Loan Party shall: (a) provide access during normal business hours to Agent and any of its officers, employees and agents as frequently as Agent determines to be appropriate upon reasonable advance notice to Borrower (unless a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which event no such notice shall be required and such access shall be at any and all times) to the properties and facilities of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (b) permit Agent and any of its officers, employees and agents, as frequently as Agent determines to be appropriate, to inspect, audit and make extracts from all of any Loan Party’s records, files and books of account; and (c) permit Agent and any of its officers, employees and agents, as frequently as Agent determines to be appropriate, upon reasonable advance notice to Borrower (unless a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which event no such notice shall be required and such access shall be at any and all times) to conduct audits to inspect, review and evaluate the Collateral, and Borrower agrees to render to Agent at Borrower’s cost and expense such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto.  Each Loan Party shall make available to Agent and each Lender and their respective counsel, as quickly as practicable under the circumstances, originals or copies of all books, records, board minutes, contracts, insurance policies, environmental audits, business plans, files, financial statements (actual and pro forma), filings with federal, state and local regulatory agencies, and other instruments and documents in such Loan Party’s custody or control or otherwise belonging to or property of such Loan Party which Agent or any Lender may reasonably request.  Each Loan Party shall deliver any document or instrument reasonably necessary for Agent, as it may from time to time request, to obtain records from any service bureau or other Person which maintains records for such Loan Party, and shall maintain duplicate records or supporting documentation on media, including computer tapes and discs owned by Borrower or Subsidiary.  Borrower shall make available to Agent upon its reasonable request information and records prepared by its certified public accountants and its banking and other financial institutions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 1.16 or otherwise in any Loan Document shall require any Loan Party to disclose to Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective officers, employees or agents, any documents, instruments or other information protected by the attorney-client privilege if (i) in the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to Agent such privilege has not previously been waived or lost, (ii) in the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to Agent such disclosure could reasonably be expected to cause such Loan Party to waive the benefit of such privilege and (iii) losing the benefit of such privilege would be materially detrimental to such Loan Party.

 

15



 

1.17         Taxes.

 

(a)           Any and all payments by or on behalf of Borrower hereunder or under the Revolving Credit Note, or any other Loan Document, shall be made, in accordance with this Section 1.17, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes.  If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Revolving Credit Note or any other Loan Document to Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 1.17) Agent or such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing or other authority in accordance with applicable law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to increase any such sum payable to any Lender or assignee of a Lender to the extent such Lender fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (f) of this Section.

 

(b)           In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Other Taxes shall not include any taxes, charges or similar levies that are imposed on or measured by the net income of any Lender by the United States of America, the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender is organized or the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s applicable lending office is located or, in each case any political subdivision thereof, or any franchise or similar taxes.

 

(c)           Each Loan Party that is a signatory hereto shall jointly and severally indemnify, Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes owed by Borrower pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section (as well as any amounts imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 1.17) paid by Agent or such Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and reasonable expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.  Any amounts payable to Agent or any Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid within ten (10) days of demand therefor.

 

(d)           Within thirty (30) days after the date of any such payment of Taxes or Other Taxes described in Section 1.17(a), (b) or (c), Borrower shall furnish to Agent or such Lender, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

 

(e)           If any Lender subsequently receives from a taxing authority a refund of any Tax or Other Tax previously paid by Borrower and for which Borrower has indemnified Lender pursuant to this Section 1.17, such Lender shall within thirty (30) days after receipt of such refund, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay to Borrower the net amount of any such refund (including any interest paid thereon by such taxing authority) after deducting taxes and reasonable expenses attributable thereto and any taxes which such Lender is required to withhold from the payment to Borrower.

 

(f)            Each Lender or assignee of a Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and, upon the written request of the

 

16



 

Agent, each other Lender of a Lender) agrees that it will deliver to each of the Borrower and the Agent two (2) duly completed appropriate valid Withholding Certificates (as defined under § 1.1441-1(c)(16) of the Income Tax Regulations (the “Regulations”)) certifying its status (i.e. U.S. or foreign person) and, if appropriate, making a claim of reduced, or exemption from, U.S. withholding tax on the basis of an income tax treaty or an exemption provided by the IRC.  The term “Withholding Certificate” means a Form W-9; a Form W-8BEN; a Form W-8ECI; a Form W-8IMY and the related statements and certifications as required under § 1.1441-1(e)(2) and/or (3) of the Regulations; a statement described in § 1.871-14(c)(2)(v) of the Regulations; or any other certificates under the IRC or Regulations that certify or establish the status of a payee or beneficial owner as a U.S. or foreign person.  Each Lender assignee required to deliver to the Borrower and the Agent a Withholding Certificate pursuant to the two preceding sentences shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate as follows:  (A) each Lender which is a party hereto on the Closing Date shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate at least five (5) Business Days prior to the first date on which any interest or fees are payable by the Borrower hereunder for the account of such Lender; and (B) each assignee shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate at least five (5) Business Days before the effective date of such assignment (unless the Agent in its sole discretion shall permit such assignee to deliver such valid Withholding Certificate less than five (5) Business Days before such date in which case it shall be due on the date specified by the Agent).  Each Lender which so delivers a valid Withholding Certificate further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Agent two (2) additional copies of such Withholding Certificate (or a successor form) on or before the date that such Withholding Certificate expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent Withholding Certificate so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent or as may be required by United States federal tax law, provided that (i) no change in treaty, law, rule, regulation or directive or the official interpretation thereof has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders a form inapplicable or which prevents such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises Borrower and Agent; and (ii) no other form or means of delivery is available that would effectively substitute for the form or means of delivery otherwise contemplated hereunder.  Notwithstanding the submission of a Withholding Certificate claiming a reduced rate of or exemption from U.S. withholding tax, the Agent shall be entitled to withhold United States federal income taxes at the full applicable statutory withholding rate (30% as of the date of this Agreement) if in its reasonable judgment it is required to do so under the due diligence requirements imposed upon a withholding agent under § 1.1441-7(b) of the Regulations, provided that the Borrower or Agent shall consult with such Lender before declining to rely on such Withholding Certificate and shall accept any reasonable attempt by the party delivering the Withholding Certificate to correct any deficiencies in it.  In the event that, by virtue of the preceding sentence, any United States federal income taxes are erroneously withheld, the Lender with respect to any payment to which such erroneous withholding occurred shall, upon the request Borrower or Agent, and at the sole expense of the Borrower, take all reasonable steps to seek a refund of such erroneously withheld taxes (and interest payable thereon) and cooperate with the Borrower or Agent in the prosecution of such refund claim; provided, however, that such Lender need not take any step that, in its sole discretion, such Lender determines would be materially adverse to its business, assets, operations, prospects or financial condition or otherwise prejudicial or harmful to any tax position of such Lender (other

 

17



 

than any position based upon its payment or deemed payment of the taxes sought to be refunded); provided further, that no Lender shall be required to make available to Borrower or Agent any of its tax returns or to disclose to Borrower or Agent any information regarding its tax affairs or computations or other information which it deems confidential.

 

1.18         Letters of Credit.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement including Annex F, Borrower shall have the right to request, and each Lender agrees to incur, the Letter of Credit Obligations (and Revolving Credit Advances and other obligations in respect thereof) in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Annex F.

 

1.19         Capital Adequacy.  Borrower shall pay directly to each Lender from time to time on request such amounts as such Lender may reasonably determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs that it reasonably determines are attributable to the maintenance by such Lender, pursuant to any law or regulation or any interpretation, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) of any Governmental Authority (a) following any Regulatory Change or (b) implementing after the date hereof any risk-based capital guideline or other capital requirement (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not the failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) heretofore or hereafter issued by any Governmental Authority, of capital in respect of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, Revolving Credit Advances and/or Letter of Credit Obligations hereunder (such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to any reduction of the rate of return on assets or equity of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such law, regulation, interpretation, directive or request).  Each Lender shall notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement entitling such Lender to compensation under this Section 1.19 as promptly as practicable, but in any event within 90 days, after such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof; provided that if any Lender fails to give such notice within 90 days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Lender shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section 1.19 in respect of any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment under this Section 1.19 for costs incurred from and after the date 90 days prior to the date that such Lender does give such notice.  Each Lender will furnish to Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Lender for compensation under this Section 1.19.  Determinations and allocations by any Lender for purposes of this Section 1.19 of the effect of any Regulatory Change pursuant to or of capital maintained pursuant to this Section 1.19, on its costs or rate of return of maintaining Revolving Credit Advances or its Revolving Credit Commitment and of the amounts required to compensate such Lender under this Section 1.19, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

1.20         Increased Costs.

 

If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in any law or regulation (or any change in the interpretation thereof) or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loan, then Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to Agent), pay to Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost.  A certificate as to the

 

18



 

amount of such increased cost, submitted to Borrower and to Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error.  Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of any circumstances referred to above which would result in any such increased cost, the affected Lender shall, to the extent not inconsistent with such Lender’s internal policies of general application, use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize costs and expenses incurred by it and payable to it by Borrower pursuant to this Section 1.20.

 

1.21         Illegality.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the introduction of or any change in any law or regulation (or any change in the interpretation thereof) shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain any LIBOR Loan, then, unless that Lender is able to make or to continue to fund or to maintain such LIBOR Loan at another branch or office of that Lender without, in that Lender’s opinion, adversely affecting it or its Loans or the income obtained therefrom, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to Borrower through Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain LIBOR Loans shall terminate and (ii) Borrower shall forthwith prepay in full all outstanding LIBOR Loans owing to such Lender, together with interest accrued thereon, unless Borrower, within five (5) Business Days after the delivery of such notice and demand, converts all such Loans into a Loan bearing interest based on the Index Rate.

 

1.22         Replacement of Lender in Respect of Increased Costs.  Within fifteen (15) days after receipt by Borrower of written notice and demand from any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) for payment of additional amounts or increased costs as provided in Section 1.17(a), 1.19 or 1.20, Borrower may, at its option, notify Agent and such Affected Lender of its intention to replace the Affected Lender.  So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower, with the consent of Agent, may obtain, at Borrower’s expense, a replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for the Affected Lender, which Replacement Lender must be reasonably satisfactory to Agent.  If Borrower obtains a Replacement Lender within ninety (90) days following notice of its intention to do so, the Affected Lender must sell and assign its Loans and Commitments to such Replacement Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Revolving Credit Loans held by the Affected Lender and all accrued interest and Fees with respect thereto through the date of such sale, provided that Borrower shall have reimbursed such Affected Lender for the additional amounts or increased costs that it is entitled to receive under this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not have the right to obtain a Replacement Lender if the Affected Lender rescinds its demand for increased costs or additional amounts within fifteen (15) days following its receipt of Borrower’s notice of intention to replace such Affected Lender.  Furthermore, if Borrower gives a notice of intention to replace and does not so replace such Affected Lender within ninety (90) days thereafter, Borrower’s rights under this Section 1.22 shall terminate and Borrower shall promptly pay all increased costs or additional amounts demanded by such Affected Lender pursuant to Sections 1.17(a), 1.19 and 1.20.

2.2           Further Conditions to Each Revolving Credit Advance and Each Letter of Credit Obligation.

 

No Lender shall be obligated to fund any Loan, convert or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Loan or incur any Letter of Credit Obligation unless the following conditions have been fulfilled:

 

(a)           Each Loan Party’s representations and warranties contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents shall be true and correct on and as of the Closing Date and the date on which such Revolving Credit Advance is made or such Letter of Credit Obligations are incurred, as the case may be, as though made on or incurred on and as of such date, except to the extent that any such representation or warranty expressly relates solely to an earlier date and except for changes therein permitted or contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(b)           The making of the Loans or issuance of Letter of Credit shall not contravene any law applicable to any Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any of the Lenders.

3.             REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

To induce Agent and Lenders to enter into this Agreement, make the Revolving Credit Loans and incur the Letter of Credit Obligations, Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders that:

 

3.1           Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law.  Each Loan Party:  (a) is a corporation or limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction where its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and the failure to so qualify, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect; (b) has the requisite power and authority and the legal right to own, pledge, mortgage or otherwise

encumber and operate its properties, to lease the property it operates under lease, and to conduct its business as now, heretofore and proposed to be conducted; (c) has all licenses, permits, consents or approvals from or by, and has made all filings with, and has given all material notices to, all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction, to the extent required for such ownership, operation and conduct, except to the extent any failure to obtain any such license, permit, consent or approval or make any such filing or give any such notice, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect; (d) is in compliance with its charter and bylaws or operating agreement, as applicable; and (e) is in compliance in all respects with all applicable provisions of law except to the extent that such non-compliance, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.

3.11         Margin Regulations.  No Loan Party is engaged, nor will it engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock.  Except as set forth on Schedule 3.11, no Loan Party owns any Margin Stock (other than the Shares) as of the Closing Date, and none of the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loan or other extensions of credit under this Agreement will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock (other than the Shares), for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness which was originally incurred

 

26



 

to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or for any purpose which might cause the Revolving Credit Loan or other extensions of credit under this Agreement to violate any of Regulations T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board.  No Loan Party will take or permit to be taken by any Loan Party any action which might cause any Loan Document to violate any regulation of the Federal Reserve Board.

 

3.12         Taxes.  Except as set forth in Schedule 3.12, all federal, state, local and foreign tax returns, reports and statements, including information returns required to be filed by each Loan Party, have been filed with the appropriate Governmental Authority and all Charges and other impositions shown thereon to be due and payable have been paid prior to the date on which any fine, penalty, interest or late charge may be added thereto for nonpayment thereof, or any such fine, penalty, interest, late charge or loss has been paid.  Except as set forth in Schedule 3.12, each Loan Party has paid when due and payable all material Charges required to be paid by it.  As of the Closing Date, each Loan Party has, to the best of its knowledge, correctly classified all of its employees as employees for employment tax purposes and has withheld proper and accurate amounts from those classified as its employees for all periods in compliance with the tax, social security and unemployment withholding provisions of applicable federal, state, local and foreign law and such withholdings have been timely paid to the respective Governmental Authorities.  Schedule 3.12 sets forth as of the Closing Date those taxable years for which any of the tax returns of each Loan Party are currently being audited by the IRS or any other applicable Governmental Authority; and any assessments or threatened assessments in connection with such audit or otherwise currently outstanding.  Except as described in Schedule 3.12, as of the Closing Date no Loan Party is a party to any agreement or other document with the IRS or any other Governmental Authority extending, or having the effect of extending, the period for assessment or collection of any Charges.  No Loan Party has any obligation under any tax sharing agreement or arrangement except as described in Schedule 3.12.

 

3.13         ERISA. (a) Schedule 3.13 lists all Plans maintained or contributed to by any Loan Party and all Qualified Plans, unfunded Pension Plans, or Welfare Plans maintained or contributed to by any ERISA Affiliate as of the Closing Date.  Neither any Loan Party nor any current or former ERISA Affiliate sponsors (or has sponsored), contributes to (or has contributed to), or is (or was) required to contribute to any Title IV Plan, any Multiemployer Plan, any Plan subject to IRC Section 412 or ERISA Section 302, or any Retiree Welfare Plan.  IRS determination letters regarding the qualified status under IRC Section 401 of each Qualified Plan have been received as of the dates listed in Schedule 3.13.  Each of the Qualified Plans has been amended to comply with the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and to make other changes required under the IRC or ERISA, and if such required amendments are not subject to the determination letters described in the previous sentence, each Qualified Plan so amended will be submitted to the IRS for a determination letter as to the ongoing qualified status of the Plan under the IRC within the applicable IRC Section 401(b) remedial amendment period; and each such Plan shall be amended, including retroactive amendments, as required during such determination letter process to maintain the qualified status of such Plans.  To the knowledge of Borrower, the Qualified Plans as amended continue to qualify under Section 401 of the IRC, the trusts created thereunder continue to be exempt from tax under the provisions of IRC Section 501(a), and nothing has occurred which would cause the loss of such qualification or tax-exempt status.  To the knowledge of Borrower, each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the IRC, including the filing of all reports required under the IRC or

 

27



 

ERISA which are true and correct as of the date filed, and all required contributions and benefits have been paid in accordance with the provisions of each such Plan.  No Loan Party has engaged in a prohibited transaction, as defined in IRC Section 4975 or Section 406 of ERISA, in connection with any Plan which would subject any such Person (after giving effect to any exemption) to a material tax on prohibited transactions imposed by IRC Section 4975 or any other material liability.  Except as set forth in Schedule 3.13:  (i) there are no pending, or to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits (other than claims for benefits in the normal course), asserted or instituted against (x) any Plan or its assets, (y) any fiduciary with respect to any Plan or (z) any Loan Party or any ERISA Affiliate with respect to any Plan; (ii) each Loan Party and each ERISA Affiliate has complied with the notice and continuation coverage requirements of IRC Section 4980B and the proposed or final regulations thereunder; and (iii) no liability under any Plan has been funded, nor has such obligation been satisfied with, the purchase of a contract from an insurance company that is not rated AAA by Standard & Poor’s Corporation and the equivalent by each other nationally recognized rating agency. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the representations set forth in (i) Section 3.13(a) relates to each Loan Party other than Galyan’s and its Subsidiaries and (ii) Section 3.13(b) relates to Galyan’s and its Subsidiaries.

 

(b)           Except set forth on Schedule 3.13, and except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (reading such definition for the purposes of this Section 3.13(b) only to replace “Borrower” with “Galyan’s”) on Galyan’s, (A) neither Galyan’s nor any Affiliate maintains, nor has contributed since January 1, 2000, to any multiemployer plan within the meaning of Sections 3(37) or 4001(a)(3) of ERISA, (B) for each funded employee pension benefit plan (within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA) that (x) is subject to the provisions of Section 401(a) of the IRC and (y) is maintained by Galyan’s or any of its Subsidiaries for any of its employees, Galyan’s or such Subsidiary has obtained a favorable determination letter from the IRS, (C) to the knowledge of Borrower, none of said determination letters has been revoked by the IRS, nor has the IRS given any indication to the Borrower that it intends to revoke any such determination letter, (D) neither Galyan’s nor any of its Subsidiaries currently maintains, contributes to or has any liability with respect to any employee benefit plan that is subject to Title IV of ERISA and (E) Galyan’s and its Subsidiaries and Galyan’s Plans have not committed any violation of ERISA or any agreement relating to the administration of such Plans.

3.15         Brokers.  Except as set forth on Schedule 3.15, no broker or finder acting on behalf of Borrower brought about the obtaining, making or closing of the credit extended or

(b)           Agent reserves the right at any time, upon review of any Loan Party’s risk profile, to reasonably require additional forms and limits of insurance to adequately protect Agent’s and Lenders’ interests.  Each Loan Party shall, if so requested by Agent, deliver to Agent and each Lender, as often as Agent may reasonably request, a report of a reputable insurance broker reasonably satisfactory to Agent with respect to its insurance policies.

9.1           Appointment, Powers and Immunities.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes GE Capital to act as its agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with such powers as are specifically delegated to Agent by the terms of this Agreement and of the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Agent (which term as used in this sentence and in Section 9.5 and the first sentence of Section 9.6 hereof shall include reference to its affiliates (including GECMG) and its own and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents): (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, and shall not by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document be a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender; (b) shall not be responsible to Lenders for any Recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by any Loan Party or any other Person to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder; and (c) shall not be responsible to Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan

 

49



 

Document or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith.  Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Revolving Credit Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with Agent.

 

9.2           Reliance by Agent.  Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telecopy, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent.  As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by Required Lenders or all of Lenders as is required in such circumstance, and such instructions of such Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all Lenders.

 

9.3           Defaults.  Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default (other than the non-payment of principal of or interest on Revolving Credit Advances or of Fees) unless Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrower specifying such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”.  In the event that Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to Lenders (and shall give each Lender prompt notice of each such non-payment).  Agent shall (subject to Section 9.7) take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by Required Lenders or, provided that, unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not be taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of Required Lenders or all Lenders as is required in such circumstance.

 

9.4           Rights as a Lender.  With respect to its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Revolving Credit Advances made by it, GE Capital (and any successor acting as Agent) in the event it shall become a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacity.  GE Capital (and any successor acting as Agent) and its affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) lend money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties (and any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates) as if it were not acting as Agent, and GE Capital and its affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from the Loan Parties for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

 

9.5           Indemnification.  Lenders agree to indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower hereunder and without limiting the obligations of Borrower hereunder) ratably in

 

50



 

accordance with their Proportionate Shares, for any and all Claims of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent (including by any Lender) arising out of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the costs and expenses that Borrower is obligated to pay hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

9.6           Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Loan Parties and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.  Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by any Loan Party of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of any Loan Party.  Agent will use reasonable efforts to provide Lenders with any information received by Agent from Borrower which is required to be provided to Lenders hereunder, with any notice of a Default received by Agent from Borrower and with any notice of a Default delivered by Agent to Borrower; provided, however, that Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any failure to do so, except to the extent that such failure is attributable to Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent hereunder, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any other credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (or any of their affiliates) that may come into the possession of Agent or any of its affiliates.

 

9.7           Failure to Act.  Except for action expressly required of Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 9.5 hereof against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

 

9.8           Resignation of Agent.  Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower.  Upon any such resignation Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent and, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by Required Lenders, so consented to by Borrower and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of Lenders and, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or

 

51



 

delayed), appoint a successor Agent, that shall be a financial institution with a combined capital and surplus or net worth of at least $500,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.  After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.

 

9.9           Consents under Loan Documents.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.1 with respect to this Agreement, Agent may, with the prior consent of Required Lenders (but not otherwise), consent to any modification, supplement or waiver under any of the Loan Documents, provided that, without the prior consent of each Lender, Agent shall not (except as provided herein or in the Collateral Documents) release any Collateral or otherwise terminate any Lien under any Collateral Document, or agree to additional obligations being secured by such Collateral, except that no such consent shall be required, and Agent is hereby authorized and instructed, to release any Lien covering Collateral (i) which is the subject of a disposition permitted hereunder, (ii) which is subject to a Lien permitted under Section 6.7 which secures Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.3, (iii) to which Required Lenders have consented (except as otherwise provided in Section 11.1) or (iv) the value of which does not exceed $5,000,000 in any Fiscal Year.

 

9.10         Collateral Matters.

 

(a)           Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or any other Person to investigate, confirm or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Loan Party (provided Agent agrees with Lenders to conduct at least one collateral audit in each Fiscal Year) or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect of the Borrowing Base, or whether any particular reserves are appropriate, or that the Liens granted to Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its discretion, given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as a Lender and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Lender, other than liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(b)           Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Lenders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Code can be perfected only by possession.  Should any Lender (other than Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions.

 

52



 

9.11         Co-Documentation Agents, Syndication Agent and Lead Arranger.  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Citizen’s Bank of Pennsylvania, in its capacity as co-documentation agent, National City Business Credit, Inc., in its capacity as co-documentation agent, Fleet Retail Group, Inc., in its capacity as syndication agent, and GECMG, in its capacity as lead arranger, shall have no duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Document nor any fiduciary duty with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against such co-documentation agents, syndication agent and lead arranger and in such capacities.

 

10.           SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

 

10.1         Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of Borrower, Agent, Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, except as otherwise provided herein or therein.  Borrower may not assign, delegate, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey its rights, benefits, obligations or duties hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents without the prior express written consent of Agent and all Lenders.  Any such purported assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other conveyance by Borrower without such prior express written consent shall be void.  The terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are for the purpose of defining the relative rights and obligations of Borrower, Agent and Lenders with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and there shall be no third party beneficiaries of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

10.2         Assignments and Participations.  (a) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking or finance business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other financial institutions (“Participants”) participating interests in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including all or a part of its Revolving Credit Advances, its Letter of Credit Obligations, its Revolving Credit Commitment and its Revolving Credit Note).  In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such obligations for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and Borrower and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 1.12(b) as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder.  Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 1.17, 1.19 and 1.20 with respect to its participation in the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Revolving Credit Loan outstanding from time to time as if it was a Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 1.17, such

 

53



 

Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section; and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Lender shall grant any participation under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final maturity date for payment of any of the Obligations in which such Participant is participating; (ii) reduce the interest rate or the amount of principal or Fees applicable to the Revolving Credit Advances in which such Participant is participating; or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral, except as expressly provided herein.  In those cases in which a Lender grants rights to its Participants to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents respecting the matters described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), the relevant participation agreements shall provide for a voting mechanism whereby a majority of the amount of the participating Lender’s portion of the Obligations (irrespective of whether held by such Lender or such Participant) shall control the vote for all of such Lender’s portion of the Revolving Credit Loan.

 

(b)           Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender or any affiliate thereof or, with the consent of Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), to an additional bank or financial institution (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit G, executed by such Assignee, such assigning Lender (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an Affiliate thereof, by Agent) and delivered to Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register, provided that (i) in the case of any such assignment to an additional bank or financial institution, any such partial assignment shall be in multiples of at least $5,000,000; (ii) the assigning Lender shall either have assigned all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or retained at least $5,000,000 of the Revolving Credit Commitment; (iii) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the assignment shall cover the same percentage of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Credit Advances, Revolving Credit Commitment and Letter of Credit Obligations; (iv) the Assignee shall be a financial institution (including a finance Subsidiary of a Person that is not a financial institution) or an institutional investor including any insurance company, pension fund or mutual fund which has an investment grade long term unsecured debt rating; and (v) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, any such assignment shall require the consent of Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Revolving Credit Commitment as set forth therein, and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

 

54



 

(c)           Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain at the address of Agent referred to in Section 11.9 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Revolving Credit Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and Borrower, Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Revolving Credit Advance or other Obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(d)           Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an affiliate thereof, by Agent) together with payment to Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500, Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and Borrower.  On or prior to such effective date, Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to Agent (in exchange for the Revolving Credit Note of the assigning Lender) a new Revolving Credit Note to the order of such Assignee in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has retained a Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, a new Revolving Credit Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment retained by it hereunder.  Such new Revolving Credit Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Revolving Credit Note replaced thereby.  The Revolving Credit Notes surrendered to Agent shall be returned by Agent to Borrower marked “cancelled”.

 

(e)           For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Revolving Credit Advances and Revolving Credit Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Revolving Credit Advance or Revolving Credit Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

 

(f)            Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.2 no Lender shall, as between Borrower and that Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of, or granting of participation in, all or any part of Revolving Credit Advances or other Obligations owed to such Lender.  Any Lender permitted to sell assignments and participations under this Section 10.2 may furnish any information concerning Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates in the possession of that Lender from time to time to Assignees and Participants (including, subject to Section 10.2(g), prospective Assignees and Participants).

 

(g)           Borrower shall assist any Lender permitted to sell assignments or participations under this Section 10.2 in whatever manner reasonably necessary in order to enable or effect any such assignment or participation, including (but not limited to) the execution

 

55



 

and delivery of any and all agreements, notes and other documents and instruments as shall be requested and the delivery of informational materials, appraisals or other documents for, and the participation of relevant management in meetings and conference calls with, potential Assignees or Participants.  Borrower shall certify the correctness, completeness and accuracy of all descriptions of Borrower and its affairs provided, prepared or reviewed by Borrower that are contained in any selling materials and all other information provided by it and included in such materials.  No information shall be provided to any potential Assignee or Participant unless such potential Assignee or Participant has agreed in writing to use reasonable good faith efforts to maintain such information as confidential on the same basis as such Person maintains its own proprietary information which it desires not to disseminate.

 

11.           MISCELLANEOUS

 

11.1         Complete Agreement; Modification of Agreement.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the complete agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements, commitments, understandings or inducements (oral or written, expressed or implied).  Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by Required Lenders; provided that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each affected Lender and Agent, (a) extend the Commitment Termination Date, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) thereon or fees or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default shall not constitute a change in the terms of any Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender), (b) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as expressly permitted by the Loan Documents), (c) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 11.1, or Section 1.9, 1.12 or 9.5, (d) reduce any percentage specified in, or otherwise modify, the definition of Required Lenders, (e) consent to the assignment or transfer by Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (f) increase the advance rate above those for Eligible Inventory set forth in the definition of Borrowing Base (other than the increases specifically provided for in such definition) or that make less restrictive the nondiscretionary criteria for exclusion set forth in the definition of Eligible Inventory, or (g) increase the amount of the Maximum Overadvance.  No provision of Section 9 may be amended without the prior written consent of Agent.  For avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that no Lender will be required to participate in a debtor-in-possession financing without such Lender’s consent.  The foregoing is in no way meant to limit any Lender’s obligation to make extensions of credit to Borrower (or its debtor-in-possession successor) pursuant to a cash collateral order or stipulation to the extent otherwise required by the terms of this Agreement.

 

11.2         Fees and Expenses.

 

(a)           Borrower shall pay on demand all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, approval, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, waiver and enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of the Loan

 

56



 

Documents, and commitments relating thereto, and the other documents to be delivered hereunder or thereunder and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and the fulfillment or attempted fulfillment of conditions precedent hereunder, including: (i) any amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any of the Loan Documents or advice in connection with the administration of the advances made pursuant hereto or its rights hereunder or thereunder; (ii) any litigation, arbitration, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action (whether instituted by Agent, any Lender, Borrower or any other Person) in any way relating to the Collateral, any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements to be executed or delivered in connection therewith or herewith, whether as party, witness, or otherwise, including any litigation, arbitration, contest, dispute, suit, case, proceeding or action, and any appeal or review thereof, in connection with a case commenced (A) in good faith by or against Borrower or any other Person that may be obligated to Agent and Lenders by virtue of the Loan Documents, or (B) under title 7 or 11 of the United States Code, as now constituted or hereafter amended, or any other applicable Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or similar insolvency law, provided, that Borrower shall not be required to pay any out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Agent in any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action resulting solely from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; (iii) any attempt to enforce any rights of Agent or Lenders against any Loan Party or any other Person that may be obligated to Agent or Lenders by virtue of any of the Loan Documents; (iv) any Default; or (v) subject to Section 5.15, any effort to (A) monitor the Revolving Credit Loan and the Loan Documents, (B) evaluate, observe, assess Borrower or its affairs, or (C) verify, protect, evaluate, assess, appraise, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of the Collateral.

 

(b)           In addition, Borrower shall pay on demand all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of Agent and each Lender in connection with any Event of Default and any enforcement or collection proceedings resulting therefrom or any amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any of the Loan Documents in connection with any Event of Default; provided that fees and expenses of counsel for Lenders shall be limited to counsel for all Lenders as a class and not separate counsel for each Lender.

 

(c)           Without limiting the generality of clauses (a) and (b) above (but subject to the proviso to clause (b) above), Borrower’s obligation to reimburse Agent and/or any Lender for out-of-pocket costs and expenses shall include the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel (and local, foreign or special counsel, advisors, consultants and auditors retained by such counsel), as well as the reasonable fees and expenses of accountants, environmental advisors, appraisers, investment bankers, management and other consultants and paralegals; court costs and expenses; photocopying and duplicating expenses; court reporter fees, costs and expenses; long distance telephone charges; air express charges; telegram charges; secretarial overtime charges; expenses for travel, lodging and food; and all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every type and nature paid or incurred in connection with the performance of such legal or other advisory services (including field examination fee’s of $800 per Person per diem plus actual out-of-pocket expenses with respect to GE Capital personnel).

 

11.3         No Waiver.  No failure on the part of Agent or Lenders, at any time or times, to require strict performance by any Loan Party, of any provision of this Agreement and any of the

 

57



 

other Loan Documents shall waive, affect or diminish any right of Agent or Lenders thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith.  Any suspension or waiver of a Default shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Default whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether of the same or of a different type.  None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of any Loan Party contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and no Default by any Loan Party shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Lenders, unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer of or other authorized employee of Agent and Required Lenders or all of Lenders if required hereunder and directed to Borrower specifying such suspension or waiver.

 

11.4         Remedies.  The rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders under this Agreement shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies which Agent or any Lender may have under any other agreement, including the Loan Documents, by operation of law or otherwise.  Recourse to the Collateral shall not be required.

 

11.5         Severability.  Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

 

11.6         Conflict of Terms.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by specific reference to the applicable provisions of this Agreement, if any provision contained in this Agreement is in conflict with, or inconsistent with, any provision in any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions contained in this Agreement shall govern and control.

 

11.7         Right of Setoff.  Subject to Section 1.1(g), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be unmatured.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Agent and Borrower after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

 

11.8         Authorized Signature.  Until Agent shall be notified by Borrower to the contrary, the signature upon any document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto and reasonably believed by Agent or any of Agent’s officers, agents, or employees to be that of an officer or duly authorized representative of Borrower listed in Schedule 11.8 shall bind Borrower and be deemed to be the act of Borrower affixed pursuant to and in accordance with resolutions duly adopted by Borrower’s Board of Directors, and Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to assume the authority of each signature and authority of the Person whose signature it is or

 

58



 

reasonably appears to be unless the Person acting in reliance on such signature shall have actual knowledge of the fact that such signature is false or the Person whose signature or purported signature is presented is without authority.

 

11.9         Notices.  Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon either of the parties by the other party, or whenever either of the parties desires to give or serve upon the other party any communication with respect to this Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered (a) upon the earlier of actual receipt and three (3) days after deposit in the United States Mail, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, with proper postage prepaid, (b) upon transmission, when sent by telecopy or other similar facsimile transmission (with such telecopy or facsimile promptly confirmed by delivery of a copy by personal delivery or United States Mail as otherwise provided in this Section 11.9, (c) one Business Day after deposit with a reputable overnight courier with all charges prepaid or (d) when delivered, if hand-delivered by messenger, all of which shall be addressed to the party to be notified and sent to the address or facsimile number indicated below (or with respect to Lenders as indicated on Appendix I hereto) or to such other address (or facsimile number) as may be substituted by notice given as herein provided.  The giving of any notice required hereunder may be waived in writing by the party entitled to receive such notice.  Failure or delay in delivering copies of any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication to any Person (other than Borrower, Agent or any Lender) designated below to receive copies shall in no way adversely affect the effectiveness of such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication.

NEW YORK CITY SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, PROVIDED, THAT AGENT, LENDERS AND BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK CITY AND, PROVIDED, FURTHER, THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE AGENT OR ANY LENDER FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO COLLECT THE OBLIGATIONS, TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF AGENT OR ANY LENDER.

(i)         The Agent and Lenders shall first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of the Senior Obligations before any Loan Party is entitled to receive any payment on account of the Intercompany Obligations.

 

(ii)        Any payment or distribution of assets of any Loan Party of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which any other Loan Party would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 11.18(c), shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution directly to the Agent, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Obligations remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution or provisions therefore to the Agent and Lenders.

 

(iii)       In the event that notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.18(c), any payment or distribution of assets of any Loan Party of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by any other Loan Party on account of the Intercompany Obligations before all Senior Obligations are paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for and shall be paid over to the Agent for application to the payment of the Senior Obligations until all of the Senior Obligations shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution or provision therefore to the Agent and Lenders.

 

(d)           No right of the Agent and Lenders or any other present or future holders of any Senior Obligations to enforce the subordination provisions herein shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Loan Party or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by any Loan Party with the terms hereof, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

(e)           The Blocked Accounts, Disbursement Accounts, the Galyan’s Concentration Account and the Concentration Account shall be cash collateral accounts, with all cash, checks and other similar items of payment in such accounts securing payment of the

LETTERS OF CREDIT

 

(a)           Issuance. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Agent and Lenders agree to incur, from time to time prior to the Commitment Termination Date, upon the request of Borrower and for Borrower’s account (but on behalf of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries), Letter of Credit Obligations by causing Letters of Credit to be issued by GE Capital or a Subsidiary thereof or a bank or other legally authorized Person selected by or acceptable to Agent in its sole discretion (each, an “L/C Issuer”) for Borrower’s account (but on behalf of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) and guaranteed by Agent; provided that if the L/C Issuer is a Lender, then such Letters of Credit shall not be guaranteed by Agent but rather each Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, purchase (or be deemed to have purchased) risk participations in all such Letters of Credit issued with the written consent of Agent, as more fully described in paragraph (b)(ii) below.  The aggregate amount of all such Letter of Credit Obligations shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (i) $75,000,000 (the “L/C Sublimit”) and (ii) the lesser of (A) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment less the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loan and the Letter of Credit Obligations; and (B) Borrowing Base less the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loan and the Letter of Credit Obligations (the determination of availability described in this sentence is herein referred to as the “L/C Availability”).  No such Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date which is more than (i) if such Letter of Credit is a Documentary Letter of Credit, six (6) months following the date of issuance thereof or such longer period with the consent of Agent or (ii) any other Letter of Credit, one (1) year following the date of issuance thereof.  Agent shall be under no obligation to incur Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit having an expiry date that is later than the Commitment Termination Date.  The letters of credit set forth on Schedule F-1 issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement (the “JPMorgan Letters of Credit”) and represent Letter of Credit Obligations under this Agreement, provided that such JPMorgan Letters of Credit shall be subject to the terms of the Payoff and Letter of Credit Assumption Agreement as well as the provisions set forth in this Agreement.

 

(b)           (i)            Advances Automatic; Participations.  In the event that Agent or any Lender shall make any payment on or pursuant to any Letter of Credit Obligation, such payment shall then be deemed automatically to constitute a Revolving Credit Advance under Section 1.1(a) of the Agreement regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and notwithstanding Borrower’s failure to satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2, and each Lender shall be obligated to pay its Proportionate Share thereof in accordance with the Agreement.  The failure of any Lender to make available to Agent for Agent’s own account its Proportionate Share of any such Revolving Credit Advance or payment by Agent under or in respect of a Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to Agent its Proportionate Share thereof, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available such other Lender’s Proportionate Share of any such payment.

 

F-1



 

(ii)           If the L/C Issuer is a Lender, or if it shall be illegal or unlawful for Borrower to incur Revolving Credit Advances as contemplated by paragraph (b)(i) above because of an Event of Default described in Section 8.1(g) or (h) or otherwise or if it shall be illegal or unlawful for any Lender to be deemed to have assumed a ratable share of the reimbursement obligations owed to an L/C Issuer, then (A) immediately and without further action whatsoever, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from Agent (or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be) an undivided interest and participation equal to such Lender’s Proportionate Share (based on the Revolving Credit Commitments) of the Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of all Letters of Credit then outstanding and (B) thereafter, immediately upon issuance of any Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from Agent (or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be) an undivided interest and participation in such Lender’s Proportionate Share (based on the Revolving Credit Commitments) of the Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit on the date of such issuance.  Each Lender shall fund its participation in all payments or disbursements made under the Letters of Credit in the same manner as provided in the Agreement with respect to Revolving Credit Advances.

 

(c)           Cash Collateral.  (i)  If Borrower is required to provide cash collateral for any Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to the Agreement prior to the Commitment Termination Date, Borrower will pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of itself and the Lenders cash or Cash Equivalents acceptable to Agent in an amount equal to one-hundred five percent (105%) of the maximum amount then available to be drawn under each applicable Letter of Credit outstanding.  Such funds or Cash Equivalents shall be held by Agent in a cash collateral account (the “Cash Collateral Account”) maintained at a bank or financial institution acceptable to Agent.  The Cash Collateral Account shall be in the name of Borrower and shall be pledged to, and subject to the control of, Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, in a manner satisfactory to Agent.  Borrower hereby pledges and grants to Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders, a security interest in all such funds and Cash Equivalents held in the Cash Collateral Account from time to time and all proceeds thereof, as security for the payment of all amounts due in respect of the Letter of Credit Obligations and other Obligations, whether or not then due.  The Agreement, including this Annex F, shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

 

(ii)           If any Letter of Credit Obligations, whether or not then due and payable, shall for any reason be outstanding on the Commitment Termination Date, Borrower shall either (A) provide cash collateral therefor in the manner described above, or (B) cause all such Letters of Credit and guaranties thereof to be canceled and returned, or (C) deliver a Standby Letter (or letters) of Credit in guaranty of such Letter of Credit Obligations, which Standby Letter (or letters) of Credit shall be of like tenor and duration as, and in an amount equal to one-hundred and five percent (105%) of the aggregate maximum amount then available to be drawn under, the Letters of Credit to which such outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations relate and shall be issued by a Person, and shall be subject to such terms and conditions, as are be satisfactory to Agent in its sole discretion.

 

(iii)          From time to time after funds are deposited in the Cash Collateral Account by Borrower, whether before or after the Commitment Termination Date, Agent may apply such funds or Cash Equivalents then held in the Cash Collateral Account to the payment of any

 

F-2



 

amounts, in such order as Agent may elect, as shall be or shall become due and payable by Borrower to Lenders with respect to such Letter of Credit Obligations and, upon the satisfaction in full of all Letter of Credit Obligations of Borrower, to any other Obligations then due and payable.

 

(iv)          Neither Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds or Cash Equivalents held in the Cash Collateral Account, except that upon the termination of all Letter of Credit Obligations and the payment of all amounts payable by Borrower to Lenders in respect thereof, any funds remaining in the Cash Collateral Account shall be applied to other Obligations when due and owing and upon payment in full of such Obligations, any remaining amount shall be paid to Borrower or as otherwise required by law.

 

(d)           Fees and Expenses.  Borrower agrees to pay to Agent for the benefit of Lenders, as compensation to such Lenders for Letter of Credit Obligations incurred hereunder, (i) all costs and expenses incurred by Agent or any Lender on account of such Letter of Credit Obligations, and (ii) for each month during which any Letter of Credit Obligation shall remain outstanding, a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) in an amount equal to (A) with respect to Documentary Letters of Credit, one-half of one percent per annum (0.50%) less than the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans from time to time in effect and (B) with respect to any Standby Letter of Credit, the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans from time to time in effect, in each case multiplied by the maximum amount available from time to time to be drawn under the applicable Letter of Credit.  Such fee shall be paid to Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in arrears, on the first day of each month.  In addition, Borrower shall pay to any L/C Issuer, within five (5) days after demand, such costs and expenses, charges and expenses of such L/C Issuer in respect of the issuance, negotiation, acceptance, amendment, transfer and payment of such Letter of Credit or otherwise payable pursuant to the application and related documentation under which such Letter of Credit is issued.  The Letter of Credit fees shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed.

 

(e)           Request for Incurrence of Letter of Credit Obligations.  Borrower shall give Agent at least two (2) Business Days prior written notice requesting the incurrence of any Letter of Credit Obligation, specifying the date such Letter of Credit Obligation is to be incurred, identifying the beneficiary and describing the nature of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby; provided, however, that Borrower need not obtain approval and need not provide notice to Agent for the incurrence of a Letter of Credit Obligation if (i) the issuance of such Letter of Credit Obligation would not violate any provision of this Annex F, (ii) the amount of such Letter of Credit Obligation is less than $300,000 and (iii) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations issued in such week is less than $300,000.  The notice shall be accompanied by the form of the Letter of Credit (which shall be acceptable to the L/C Issuer).  For administrative purposes, by Monday of the following week, the L/C Issuer shall distribute a summary sheet to Agent stating the amount requested during such week and the date of all Letter of Credit Obligations issued during such week.  The notice shall be accompanied by the form of the Letter of Credit (which shall be acceptable to the L/C Issuer) and a completed application for Standby Letter of Credit or application for Documentary Letter of Credit, as applicable.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Letter of Credit applications by Borrower and approvals by Agent and the L/C Issuer may be made and transmitted pursuant to electronic codes

 

F-3



 

and security measures mutually agreed upon and established by and among Borrower, Agent and the L/C Issuer.

 

(f)            Obligation Absolute.  The obligation of Borrower to reimburse Agent and Lenders for payments made with respect to any Letter of Credit Obligation shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, without necessity of presentment, demand, protest or other formalities, and the obligations of each Lender to make payments to Agent or the L/C Issuer if it is a Lender with respect to Letters of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable.  Such obligations of Borrower and Lenders shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances including the following circumstances:

 

(i)            any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or the Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other agreement;

 

(ii)           the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which Borrower or any of its Affiliates or any Lender may at any time have against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons or entities for whom any such transferee may be acting), Agent, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with the Agreement, the Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or therein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between Borrower or any of its Affiliates and the beneficiary for which the Letter of Credit was procured);

 

(iii)          any draft, demand, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

 

(iv)          payment by Agent or any L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or such guaranty, except as set forth in the proviso to clause (C) of the second paragraph of paragraph (g) below;

 

(v)           any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, which is similar to any of the foregoing; or

 

(vi)          the fact that a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

 

(g)           Indemnification; Nature of Lenders’ Duties.  (i) In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in the Agreement, Borrower hereby agrees to pay and to protect, indemnify, and save harmless Agent and each Lender from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and allocated costs of internal counsel) which Agent or any Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof, or (ii) the failure of Agent or any Lender seeking indemnification or of any L/C Issuer to honor a

 

F-4



 

demand for payment under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority, in each case other than to the extent solely as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or such Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).  No Agent or Lender shall enter into any compromise or settlement in any action as to which such Person intends to seek indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Loan Party from whom indemnification hereunder is sought, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

(ii)        As between Agent and any Lender and Borrower, Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by beneficiaries thereof.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law neither Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible:  (A) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document issued by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) for failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to demand payment under such Letter of Credit; provided that, in the case of any payment by Agent or the L/C Issuer if it is a Lender under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof, Agent or such L/C Issuer shall be liable to the extent such payment was made solely as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) in determining that the demand for payment under such Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof complies on its face with any applicable requirements for a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof; (D) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (E) for errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a payment under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof or of the proceeds thereof; (G) for the credit of the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof; and (H) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Agent or any Lender.  None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any of Agent’s or any Lender’s rights or powers hereunder or under the Agreement.

 

(iii)       Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit or to expand any waivers, covenants or indemnities made by Borrower in favor of any L/C Issuer in any letter of credit application, reimbursement agreement or similar document, instrument or agreement between or among Borrower and such L/C Issuer, including a Master Documentary Agreement and a Master Standby Agreement entered into with Agent.

Closing Date Projections:

 

Attached.

 



 

Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc.
Borrowing Availability Under Tender Offer Scenarios

 

Scenario 1:  Greater than 90% Galyan’s Shares Tendered - “Short Form”

 

·                  Merger closes shortly after the closing of the tender offer with greater than 90% of Galyan’s shares tendered for sale

 

·                  With shareholders representing 55% of the stock already committing to tender and Galyan’s stock trading at $16.68, just below the $16.75 tender, expectation is that the probability of a “short form” merger is very high

 

·                  Galyan’s assets become part of the borrowing base beginning at the end of July.

 

·                  Based on projections, excess borrowing availability, assuming constant advance rate of 70% and deducting letters of credit, reaches a minimum of $125 million including suppressed availability at the end of November of this year.

Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc.
Borrowing Availability Under Tender Offer Scenarios

 

Scenario 2: Less than 90% Galyan’s Shares Tendered - “Long Form”

 

·                  Tender closes with Dick’s owning less than 90% of Galyan’s.  Merger closes approximately 60 days later, as Indiana law requires shareholder meeting and approval to vote on the merger if less than 90% of the shares are tendered.

 

·                  With shareholders representing 55% of the stock already committing to tender and Galyan’s stock trading at $16.68, just below the $16.75 tender, expectation is that the probability of getting less than 90% tendered is very small.

 

·                  Until the merger closes,

 

·                  Galyan’s stock remains outstanding and traded, although Dick’s will own the majority of the stock.

 

·                  Galyan’s assets are not available to be used as collateral for the revolver.

 

·                  In this event, the borrowing base would be limited to just the assets of Dick’s and include assets of Galyan’s indirectly through an intercompany loan from Dick’s to Galyan’s.  At closing, Galyan’s revolver of $45 million would be paid off.  The note and underlying lien would pass to the revolver group resulting in $45 million of collateral value.

 

·                  Excess availability projections include a one-time, seasonal increase in the advance rate limited to the lesser of (i) 80% of eligible inventory at cost or (ii) 95% NOLV of eligible inventory.  This increase would be for 2 months and would be limited to this year only, not for the life of the facility.

 

·                  Based on projections, the low point in excess availability, assuming the above increase in advance rate and reducing for outstanding letters of credit, would be approximately $85 million including the intercompany loan/lien.

Dick’s Entities

 

·                  As disclosed in Dick’s Proxy Statement dated April 26, 2004, and cross-referenced in Schedule 6.3 above, Dick’s owes entities established by the estate of Richard (“Dick”) Stack, its founder and father of Edward W. Stack, a balance of $325,000 as of February 1, 2004. The obligation represents the remaining balance on a $1,251,000 (the largest aggregate amount of indebtedness outstanding under the promissory note) in principal amount loan granted to Dick’s in 1986, payable at an annual interest rate of 12% in monthly installments of approximately $14,000 through May 1, 2006. The loan, which is subordinated to all of Dick’s senior indebtedness, may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty. The loan may be accelerated upon an event of default, including default on any payment on the loan for a period of 15 days after notice, default in the observance of any other

 



 

covenant, condition or agreement for a period of 30 days, the acceleration of Dick’s other indebtedness or Dick’s inability to pay its debts as it becomes due. At the time the loan was granted to Dick’s, it believed the terms were consistent with the terms that they would have received from an unaffiliated third party in an arms-length transaction.

 

·                  As disclosed in Dick’s Proxy Statement, dated April 26, 2004, and cross-referenced in Schedule 6.3 above, Dick’s also leases two locations from entities established by Dick Stack’s estate, one of which continues to operate as one of Dick’s stores and the second of which has been subleased to a third party. Our total monthly lease payments for the two locations is $20,000. Dick’s paid $240,000 under these leases in fiscal year 2003. The amount Dick’s is paying per square foot under these leases is comparable to the amounts Dick’s agreed to pay to unaffiliated third parties for other new leases that were entered into around the same time period.

 

·                  From time to time the Loan Parties enter into transactions with Affiliates, none of which exceed $60,000 or more in the aggregate in any one year, except as may otherwise be disclosed in the Borrower’s SEC filings.

July 28, 2004

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, DICK’S SPORTING GOODS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY to the order of                                        (“Lender”), at the offices of GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as Agent for Lenders (“Agent”), at its address at 201 Merritt 7, Norwalk, Connecticut 06856, or at such other place as Agent may designate from time to time in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the amount of                                            DOLLARS AND              CENTS ($    ,        ,      ) or, if less, the aggregate unpaid amount of all Revolving Credit Advances made to the undersigned by Lender under the “Credit Agreement” (as hereinafter defined). All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement or in Annex A thereto.

 

This Revolving Credit Note is one of the Revolving Credit Notes issued pursuant to that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of July 28, 2004 by and among Borrower, the other Persons named therein as Loan Parties, Agent, Lender and the other Persons signatory thereto from time to time as Lenders (including all annexes, exhibits and schedules thereto, and as from time to time amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”), and is entitled to the benefit and security of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower Security Agreement and all of the other Loan Documents referred to therein. Reference is hereby made to the Credit Agreement for a statement of all of the terms and conditions under which the Revolving Credit Loans evidenced hereby are made and are to be repaid. The date and amount of each Revolving Credit Advance made by Lenders to Borrower, the rates of interest applicable thereto and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by Agent on its books; provided that the failure of Agent to make any such recordation shall not affect the obligations of Borrower to make a payment when due of any amount owing under the Credit Agreement or this Revolving Credit Note in respect of the Revolving Credit Advances made by Lender to Borrower.

 

The principal amount of the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be payable in the amounts and on the dates specified in the Credit Agreement, the terms of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference. Interest thereon shall be paid until such principal amount is

 



 

paid in full at such interest rates and at such times, and pursuant to such calculations, as are specified in the Credit Agreement..

 

If any payment on this Revolving Credit Note becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

 

Upon and after the occurrence of any Event of Default, this Revolving Credit Note may, as provided in the Credit Agreement, and without demand, notice or legal process of any kind, be declared, and immediately shall become, due and payable.

 

Time is of the essence of this Revolving Credit Note. Demand, presentment, protest and notice of nonpayment and protest are hereby waived by Borrower.

(a)           It is expressly agreed by Grantor that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Grantor shall remain liable under each of its Contracts and each of its Licenses to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, except where such failure or failures to so perform and enforce, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation or liability under any Contract or License by reason of or arising out of this Security Agreement or the granting herein of a Lien thereon or the receipt by Agent or any Lender of any payment relating to any Contract or License pursuant hereto.  Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of Grantor under or pursuant to any Contract or License, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Contract or License, or to present or file any claims, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

 

(b)           Agent may at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and be continuing (or if any rights of set-off (other than set-offs against an Account arising under the Contract giving rise to the same Account) or contra accounts may be asserted with respect to the following), without prior notice to Grantor, notify Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on the Collateral that Agent has a security interest therein, and that payments shall be made directly to Agent.  Upon the request of Agent after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Grantor shall so notify Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral.  Once any such notice has been given to any Account Debtor or other Person obligated on the Collateral, the Grantor shall not give any contrary instructions to such Account Debtor or other Person without Agent’s prior written consent.

 

(c)           Without limiting the provisions of Section 1.16 of the Credit Agreement, Agent may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in Agent’s own name, in the name of a nominee of Agent or in the name of Grantor communicate (by mail, telephone, facsimile or otherwise) with Account Debtors, parties to Contracts and obligors in respect of Instruments to verify with such Persons, to Agent’s satisfaction, the existence, amount, terms of, and any other matter relating to, Accounts, payment intangibles,

 



 

Instruments or Chattel Paper.  If a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Grantor, at its own expense, shall or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, at Agent’s reasonable request, shall cause the independent certified public accountants then engaged by Grantor to, prepare and deliver to Agent and each Lender at any time and from time to time promptly upon Agent’s request the following reports with respect to Grantor: (i) a reconciliation of all Accounts; (ii) an aging of all Accounts; (iii) trial balances; and (iv) a test verification of such Accounts as Agent may request.  Grantor, at its own expense, shall deliver to Agent the results of each physical verification, if any, which Grantor may in its discretion have made, or caused any other Person to have made on its behalf, of all or any portion of its Inventory.

 

5.             REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  Grantor represents and warrants that:

(d)           Schedule II hereto lists all Instruments, Letter of Credit Rights and Chattel Paper of Grantor.  All action by Grantor necessary or desirable to protect and perfect the Lien of Agent on each item set forth on Schedule II (including the delivery of all originals thereof to Agent and the legending of all Chattel Paper as required by Section 6(b) hereof) has been duly taken.  The Lien of Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, on the Collateral listed on Schedule II hereto is prior to all other Liens, except Permitted Encumbrances that would be prior to the Liens in favor of Agent as a matter of law, and is enforceable as such against any and all creditors of and purchasers from Grantor.

7.             AGENT’S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.

 

On the Closing Date Grantor shall execute and deliver to Agent a power of attorney (the “Power of Attorney”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.  The power of attorney granted pursuant to the Power of Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Termination Date.  The powers conferred on Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, under the Power of Attorney are solely to protect Agent’s interests (for the benefit of Agent and Lenders) in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Agent or any Lender to exercise any such powers.  Agent agrees that (a) except for the powers granted in clause (h) of

 



 

the Power of Attorney, it shall not exercise any power or authority granted under the Power of Attorney unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b) Agent shall account for any moneys received by Agent in respect of any foreclosure on or disposition of Collateral pursuant to the Power of Attorney provided that none of Agent or any Lender shall have any duty as to any Collateral, and Agent and Lenders shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers.  NONE OF AGENT, LENDERS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE TO GRANTOR FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT UNDER ANY POWER OF ATTORNEY OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE SOLELY TO THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, NOR FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

 

8.             REMEDIES:  RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT.

 

(a)           In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Obligations, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantor expressly agrees that in any such event Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code and other applicable law), may forthwith enter upon the premises of Grantor where any Collateral is located through self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving Grantor or any other Person notice and opportunity for a hearing on Agent’s claim or action and may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such prices as it may deem acceptable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.  Agent or any Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption Grantor hereby releases.  Such sales may be adjourned and continued from time to time with or without notice.  Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on Grantor’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use Grantor’s premises without charge for such time or times as Agent deems necessary or advisable.

 

If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continued, Grantor further agrees, at Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent at a place or places designated by Agent which are reasonably convenient to Agent and Grantor, whether at Grantor’s premises or elsewhere.  Until Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any

 



 

other purpose deemed appropriate by Agent.  Agent shall have no obligation to Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of Grantor as against third parties with respect to Collateral while Collateral is in the possession of Agent.  Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of Agent and Lenders), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.  Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale to the Obligations as provided in the Credit Agreement, and only after so paying over such net proceeds, and after the payment by Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need Agent account for the surplus, if any, to Grantor.  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against Agent or any Lender arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or such Lender as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Grantor agrees that five (5) days prior notice by Agent of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters.  Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Obligations, including any attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by Agent or any Lender to collect such deficiency.

 

(b)           Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.

 

(c)           To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to

 



 

assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral.  Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8(c) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 8(c).  Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8(c) shall be construed to grant any rights to Grantor or to impose any duties on Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 8(c).

 

(d)           Neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof.  Neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall be required to marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, and all of its and their rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be cumulative.  To the extent it may lawfully do so, Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Agent or any Lender, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise.

 

9.             GRANT OF LICENSE TO USE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL.  For the purpose of enabling Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 8 hereof (including, without limiting the terms of Section 8 hereof, in order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral) at such time as Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, Grantor hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

 

10.           LIMITATION ON AGENT’S AND LENDERS’ DUTY IN RESPECT OF COLLATERAL.  Agent and each Lender shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control.  Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of Agent or such Lender, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.

 

11.           REINSTATEMENT.  This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any

 



 

significant part of Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.  In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

 

12.           NOTICES.  Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the parties by any other party, or whenever any of the parties desires to give and serve upon any other party any communication with respect to this Security Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner, and deemed received, as provided for in the Credit Agreement.

 

13.           SEVERABILITY.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Security Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Security Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Security Agreement.  This Security Agreement is to be read, construed and applied together with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents which, taken together, set forth the complete understanding and agreement of Agent, Lenders and Grantor with respect to the matters referred to herein and therein.

 

14.           NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES.  Neither Agent nor any Lender shall by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth.  A waiver by Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Agent would otherwise have had on any future occasion.  No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of Agent or any Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.  None of the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by Agent and Grantor.

 

15.           LIMITATION BY LAW.  All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Security Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Security Agreement invalid,

 



 

unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.

 

16.           TERMINATION OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT.  Subject to Section 11 hereof, this Security Agreement shall terminate upon the Termination Date.

 

17.           SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  This Security Agreement and all obligations of Grantor hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Grantor (including any debtor-in-possession on behalf of Grantor) and shall, together with the rights and remedies of Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, hereunder, inure to the benefit of Agent and Lenders, all future holders of any instrument evidencing any of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns, in accordance with Section 10 of the Credit Agreement.  No sales of participations, other sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement governing or instrument evidencing the Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein made in accordance with Section 10 of the Credit Agreement shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, hereunder. Grantor may not assign, sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any interest in or obligation under this Security Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent shall from time to time execute and deliver, upon the written request of Grantor, any and all instruments, certificates or other documents, in the form so requested, necessary or appropriate in the judgment of Grantor to permit Grantor to continue to exploit, license, use, enjoy and protect the Patents, Copyrights and Trademarks.

 

18.           AUTHORITY OF AGENT.  Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between Agent and Lenders, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between Agent and Grantor, Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for Lenders with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and Grantor shall be under no obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

 

19.           COUNTERPARTS.  This Security Agreement may be authenticated in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately constitute one agreement.  This Security Agreement may be authenticated by manual signature, facsimile or, if approved in writing by Agent, electronic means, all of which shall be equally valid.

 

20.           GOVERNING LAW.  EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN THAT STATE, AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.  GRANTOR HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY, CITY OF NEW

 



 

YORK, NEW YORK, SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN GRANTOR, AGENT AND LENDERS PERTAINING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, PROVIDED, THAT AGENT, LENDERS AND GRANTOR ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK COUNTY, AND, PROVIDED, FURTHER, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE AGENT FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF AGENT.  GRANTOR EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT.  GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINTS AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO GRANTOR AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE (3) DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE U.S. MAILS, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.  THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL, PURSUANT TO NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW 5-1401, FOR ALL PURPOSES BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

21.           WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT DISPUTES ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATING HERETO BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS.  THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, AMONG AGENT, LENDERS, AND GRANTOR ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO.

 



 

22.           SECTION TITLES.  The Section titles contained in this Security Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.

 

23.           NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION.  The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Security Agreement.  In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Security Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Security Agreement.

 

24.           ADVICE OF COUNSEL.  Each of the parties represents to each other party hereto that it has discussed this Security Agreement and, specifically, the provisions of Section 19 and Section 20, with its counsel.

 

25.           BENEFIT OF LENDERS.  All Liens granted or contemplated hereby shall be for the benefit of Agent, individually, and Lenders, and all proceeds or payments realized from Collateral in accordance herewith shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

 

26.           EFFECT OF AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT.  From and after the date hereof (the “Effective Date”):  (a) the terms and conditions of the Existing Security Agreement shall be amended as set forth herein and, as so amended, shall be restated in its entirety, but only with respect to the rights, duties and obligations among Grantor and the Agent accruing from and after the Effective Date; (b) this Security Agreement shall not in any way release or impair the rights, duties, Obligations or Liens created pursuant to the Existing Security Agreement (and such Liens shall continue without any diminution thereof and shall remain in full force and effect on and after the Effective Date) or affect the relative priorities thereof, in each case to the extent in force and effect thereunder as of the Effective Date, and all of such rights, duties, Obligations and Liens are assumed, ratified and affirmed by Grantor; (c) the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Security Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Lenders or the Agent under the Existing Security Agreement, nor constitute a waiver of any covenant, agreement or obligation under the Existing Security Agreement, except  to the extent that any such covenant, agreement or obligation is no longer set forth herein or is modified hereby; and (d) any and all references to the Existing Security Agreement in any Loan Document shall, without further action of the parties, be deemed a reference to the Existing Security Agreement, as amended and restated by this Security Agreement, and as this Security Agreement shall be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

 



 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused this Security Agreement to be executed and delivered by its duly authorized officer as of the date first set forth above.

This Power of Attorney is executed and delivered by DICK’S SPORTING GOODS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Grantor”) to GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as “Attorney”), as Agent for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, under that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 28, 2004, by and among Grantor, Attorney and Lenders (including all annexes, exhibits and schedules thereto, as from time to time amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified) and that certain Amended and Restated Security Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among Grantor and Agent (the “Security Agreement”), and other related documents (the “Loan Documents”).  No person to whom this Power of Attorney is presented, as authority for Attorney to take any action or actions contemplated hereby, shall be required to inquire into or seek confirmation from Grantor as to the authority of Attorney to take any action described below, or as to the existence of or fulfillment of any condition to this Power of Attorney, which is intended to grant to Attorney unconditionally the authority to take and perform the actions contemplated herein, and Grantor irrevocable waives any right to commence any suit or action, in law or equity, against any person or entity which acts in reliance upon or acknowledges the authority granted under this Power of Attorney.  The power of attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest, and may not be revoked or canceled by Grantor without Attorney’ s written consent.

 

Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Attorney (and all officers, employees or agents designated by Attorney), with full power of substitution, as Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Grantor and in the name of Grantor or in its own name, from time to time in Attorney’s discretion, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of the Loan Documents and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantor hereby grants to Attorney, subject to the provisions of Section 7 of the Security Agreement, the power and right, on behalf of Grantor, without notice to or assent by Grantor, and at any time, to do the following: (a) change the mailing address of Grantor, open a post office box on behalf of Grantor, open mail for Grantor, and ask, demand, collect, give acquittances and receipts for, take possession of, endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, and notices in connection with any property of Grantor; (b) effect any repairs to any asset of Grantor, or continue or obtain any insurance and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and costs thereof, and make, settle and adjust all claims under such policies of insurance, and make all determinations and decisions with respect to such policies; (c) pay or discharge any taxes, liens, security interests, or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against Grantor or its property; (d) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Grantor if Grantor does not defend such suit, action or proceeding or if Attorney believes that Grantor is not pursuing such defense in a manner that will maximize the recovery to Attorney, and settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action, or proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as

 



 

Attorney may deem appropriate; (e) file or prosecute any claim, litigation, suit or proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction or before any arbitrator, or take any other action otherwise deemed appropriate by Attorney for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due to Grantor whenever payable and to enforce any other right in respect of Grantor’s property; (f) cause the certified public accountants then engaged by Grantor to prepare and deliver to Attorney at any time and from time to time, promptly upon Attorney’s request, the following reports: (1) a reconciliation of all accounts, (2) an aging of all accounts, (3) trial balances, (4) test verifications of such accounts as Attorney may request, and (5) the results of each physical verification of inventory; (g) communicate in its own name with any party to any Contract with regard to the assignment of the right, title and interest of Grantor in and under the Contracts and other matters relating thereto; (h) to file such financing statements with respect to the Security Agreement, with or without Grantor’s signature, or to file a photocopy of the Security Agreement in substitution for a financing statement, as the Agent may deem appropriate and to execute in Grantor’s name such financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements which may require the Grantor’s signature; and (i) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in any Loan Document, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral and to otherwise direct such sale or resale, all as though Attorney were the absolute owner of the property of Grantor for all purposes, and to do, at Attorney’s option and Grantor’s expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and other things that Attorney reasonably deems necessary to perfect, preserve, or realize upon Grantor’s property or assets and Attorney’s Liens thereon, all as fully and effectively as Grantor might do.  Grantor hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that said Attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Power of Attorney is executed by Grantor, and Grantor has caused its seal to be affixed pursuant to the authority of its board of directors this                            day of                                             .

(c)                                  Without limiting the provisions of Section 1.16 of the Credit Agreement, Agent may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in Agent’s own name, in the name of a nominee of Agent or in the name of each applicable Grantor communicate (by mail, telephone, facsimile or otherwise) with Account Debtors, parties to Contracts and obligors in respect of Instruments to verify with such Persons, to Agent’s satisfaction, the existence, amount, terms of, and any other matter relating to, Accounts, payment intangibles, Instruments or Chattel Paper.  If a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor, at its own expense, shall, or, if a Default or Event of Default shall not have occurred, at the Agent’s reasonable request, cause the independent certified public accountants then engaged by such Grantor to, prepare and deliver to Agent and each Lender at any time and from time to time promptly upon Agent’s request the following reports with respect to such Grantor: (i) a reconciliation of all Accounts; (ii) an aging of all Accounts; (iii) trial balances; and (iv) a test verification of such Accounts as Agent may request.  Each Grantor, at its own expense, shall deliver to Agent the results of each physical verification, if any, which such Grantor may in its discretion have made, or caused any other Person to have made on its behalf, of all or any portion of its Inventory.

expenses), loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the Account Debtor or other Person obligated on the Collateral, arising out of a breach by any Grantor of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to, or in favor of, such obligor or its successors from such Grantor, except in the case of Agent or any Lender, to the extent such expense, loss, or damage is attributable solely to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or such Lender as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. All such obligations of Grantors shall be and remain enforceable against and only against Grantors and shall not be enforceable against Agent or any Lender.

 

(e)                                  Compliance with Terms of Accounts, etc.  In all material respects and subject to the Credit Agreement, each Grantor will perform and comply with all obligations in respect of the Collateral and all other agreements to which it is a party or by which it is bound relating to the Collateral.

6.                                       AGENT’S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.

 

On the Closing Date each Grantor shall execute and deliver to Agent a power of attorney (the “Power of Attorney”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.  The power of attorney granted pursuant to the Power of Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Termination Date.  The powers conferred on Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, under the Power of Attorney are solely to protect Agent’s interests (for the benefit of Agent and Lenders) in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Agent or any Lender to exercise any such powers.  Agent agrees that (a) except for the powers granted in clause (h) of the Power of Attorney, it shall not exercise any power or authority granted under the Power of Attorney unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b) Agent shall account for any moneys received by Agent in respect of any foreclosure on or disposition of Collateral pursuant to the Power of Attorney provided that none of Agent or any Lender shall have any duty as to any Collateral, and Agent and Lenders shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers.  NONE OF AGENT, LENDERS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE TO ANY GRANTOR FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT UNDER ANY POWER OF ATTORNEY OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE SOLELY TO THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, NOR FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

 

7.                                       REMEDIES:  RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT.

 

(a)                                  In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Obligations, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that in any such event Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon such Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code and other applicable law), may forthwith enter upon the premises of such Grantor where any Collateral is located through self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving such Grantor or any other Person notice and opportunity for a hearing on Agent’s claim or action and may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such prices as it may deem acceptable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.  Agent or any Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale

 



 

or sales, to purchase for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption each Grantor hereby releases.  Such sales may be adjourned and continued from time to time with or without notice.  Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on any Grantor’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any Grantor’s premises without charge for such time or times as Agent deems necessary or advisable.

 

If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor further agrees, at Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent at a place or places designated by Agent which are reasonably convenient to Agent and such Grantor, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere.  Until Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by Agent.  Agent shall have no obligation to any Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of such Grantor as against third parties with respect to Collateral while Collateral is in the possession of Agent.  Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of Agent and Lenders), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.  Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale to the Obligations as provided in the Credit Agreement, and only after so paying over such net proceeds, and after the payment by Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor.  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against Agent or any Lender arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or such Lender as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Each Grantor agrees that five (5) days prior notice by Agent of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters.  Grantors shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Obligations, including any attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by Agent or any Lender to collect such deficiency.

 

(b)                                 Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.

 

(c)                                  To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and

 



 

other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral.  Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8I is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 8I.  Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8I shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 8I.

 

(d)                                 Neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, any Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof.  Neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall be required to marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, and all of its and their rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be cumulative.  To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Agent or any Lender, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise.

 

8.                                       GRANT OF LICENSE TO USE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL.  For the purpose of enabling Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 8 hereof (including, without limiting the terms of Section 8 hereof, in order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral) at such time as Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in

 



 

such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

 

9.                                       LIMITATION ON AGENT’S AND LENDERS’ DUTY IN RESPECT OF COLLATERAL.  Agent and each Lender shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control.  Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of Agent or such Lender, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.

 

10.                                 REINSTATEMENT.  This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.  In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

 

11.                                 NOTICES.  Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the parties by any other party, or whenever any of the parties desires to give and serve upon any other party any communication with respect to this Security Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner, and deemed received, as provided for in the Credit Agreement (other than with respect to American Sports Licensing, Inc.

12.                                 SEVERABILITY.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Security Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Security Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Security Agreement.  This Security Agreement is to be read, construed and applied together with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents which, taken together, set forth the complete understanding and agreement of Agent, Lenders and Grantors with respect to the matters referred to herein and therein.

 


 


 

13.                                 NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES.  Neither Agent nor any Lender shall by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth.  A waiver by Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Agent would otherwise have had on any future occasion.  No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of Agent or any Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.  None of the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by Agent and Grantors.

 

14.                                 LIMITATION BY LAW.  All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Security Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.

 

15.                                 TERMINATION OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT.  Subject to Section 10 hereof, this Security Agreement shall terminate upon the Termination Date.

 

16.                                 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  This Security Agreement and all obligations of Grantors hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor (including any debtor-in-possession on behalf of such Grantor) and shall, together with the rights and remedies of Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, hereunder, inure to the benefit of Agent and Lenders, all future holders of any instrument evidencing any of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns, in accordance with Section 10 of the Credit Agreement.  No sales of participations, other sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement governing or instrument evidencing the Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein made in accordance with Section 10 of the Credit Agreement shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, hereunder. No Grantor may assign, sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any interest in or obligation under this Security Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent shall from time to time execute and deliver, upon the written request of any Grantor, any and all instruments, certificates or other documents, in the form so requested, necessary or appropriate in the judgment of Grantor to permit Grantor to continue to exploit, license, use, enjoy and protect the Patents, Copyrights and Trademarks.

 

17.                                 AUTHORITY OF AGENT.  Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as

 



 

between Agent and Lenders, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between Agent and any Grantor, Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for Lenders with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and such Grantor shall be under no obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

 

18.                                 COUNTERPARTS.  This Security Agreement may be authenticated in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately constitute one agreement.  This Security Agreement may be authenticated by manual signature, facsimile or, if approved in writing by Agent, electronic means, all of which shall be equally valid.

 

19.                                 GOVERNING LAW.  EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN THAT STATE, AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.  EACH GRANTOR HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY, CITY OF NEW YORK, NEW YORK, SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN GRANTORS, AGENT AND LENDERS PERTAINING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, PROVIDED, THAT AGENT, LENDERS AND GRANTORS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK COUNTY, AND, PROVIDED, FURTHER, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE AGENT FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF AGENT.  EACH GRANTOR EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT.  EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINTS AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH GRANTOR AT THE ADDRESS OF THE BORROWER SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.9 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT (OTHER THAN ASL) AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE (3) DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE U.S. MAILS, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID; PROVIDED THAT SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINTS

20.                                 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT DISPUTES ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATING HERETO BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS.  THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, AMONG AGENT, LENDERS, AND GRANTORS ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO.

 

21.                                 SECTION TITLES.  The Section titles contained in this Security Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.

 

22.                                 NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION.  The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Security Agreement.  In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Security Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Security Agreement.

 

23.                                 ADVICE OF COUNSEL.  Each of the parties represents to each other party hereto that it has discussed this Security Agreement and, specifically, the provisions of Section 18 and Section 19, with its counsel.

 

24.                                 BENEFIT OF LENDERS.  All Liens granted or contemplated hereby shall be for the benefit of Agent, individually, and Lenders, and all proceeds or payments realized from Collateral in accordance herewith shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

 

25.                                 EFFECT OF AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT.  From and after the date hereof (the “Effective Date”):  (a) the terms and conditions of the Existing Security

 



 

Agreement shall be amended as set forth herein and, as so amended, shall be restated in its entirety, but only with respect to the rights, duties and obligations among Grantors and the Agent accruing from and after the Effective Date; (b) this Security Agreement shall not in any way release or impair the rights, duties, Obligations or Liens created pursuant to the Existing Security Agreement (and such Liens shall continue without any diminution thereof and shall remain in full force and effect on and after the Effective Date) or affect the relative priorities thereof, in each case to the extent in force and effect thereunder as of the Effective Date, and all of such rights, duties, Obligations and Liens are assumed, ratified and affirmed by each Grantor; (c) the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Security Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Lenders or the Agent under the Existing Security Agreement, nor constitute a waiver of any covenant, agreement or obligation under the Existing Security Agreement, except to the extent that any such covenant, agreement or obligation is no longer set forth herein or is modified hereby; and (d) any and all references to the Existing Security Agreement in any Loan Document shall, without further action of the parties, be deemed a reference to the Existing Security Agreement, as amended and restated by this Security Agreement, and as this Security Agreement shall be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

 

26.                                 ADDITIONAL GRANTORS.  The initial Grantors hereunder shall be the Loan Parties as are signatory hereto.  Loan Parties may become parties hereto, as additional Grantors (each, an “Additional Grantor”), by executing a counterpart of this Security Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto. Upon delivery of any such counterpart to Agent, notice of which is hereby waived by the Grantors, each Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Grantor were an original signatory hereto.  Each Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Grantor hereunder nor by any election of Agent not to cause any Loan Party of any other Person to become an Additional Grantor hereunder.  This Security Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.

 



 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused this Security Agreement to be executed and delivered by its duly authorized officer as of the date first set forth above.

Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Attorney (and all officers, employees or agents designated by Attorney), with full power of substitution, as Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Grantor and in the name of Grantor or in its own name, from time to time in Attorney’s discretion, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of the Loan Documents and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantor hereby grants to Attorney, subject to the provisions of Section 7 of the Security Agreement, the power and right, on behalf of Grantor, without notice to or assent by Grantor, and at any time, to do the following: (a) change the mailing address of Grantor, open a post office box on behalf of Grantor, open mail for Grantor, and ask, demand, collect, give acquittances and receipts for, take possession of, endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, and notices in connection with any property of Grantor; (b) effect any repairs to any asset of Grantor, or continue or obtain any insurance and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and costs thereof, and make, settle and adjust all claims under such policies of insurance, and make all determinations and decisions with respect to such policies; (c) pay or discharge any taxes, liens, security interests, or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against Grantor or its property; (d) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Grantor if Grantor does not defend such suit, action or proceeding or if Attorney believes that Grantor is not pursuing such defense in a manner that will maximize the recovery to Attorney, and settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action, or proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as Attorney may deem appropriate; (e)

 



 

file or prosecute any claim, litigation, suit or proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction or before any arbitrator, or take any other action otherwise deemed appropriate by Attorney for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due to Grantor whenever payable and to enforce any other right in respect of Grantor’s property; (f) cause the certified public accountants then engaged by Grantor to prepare and deliver to Attorney at any time and from time to time, promptly upon Attorney’s request, the following reports: (1) a reconciliation of all accounts, (2) an aging of all accounts, (3) trial balances, (4) test verifications of such accounts as Attorney may request, and (5) the results of each physical verification of inventory; (g) communicate in its own name with any party to any Contract with regard to the assignment of the right, title and interest of such Grantor in and under the Contracts and other matters relating thereto; (h) to file such financing statements with respect to the Security Agreement, with or without Grantor’s signature, or to file a photocopy of the Security Agreement in substitution for a financing statement, as the Agent may deem appropriate and to execute in Grantor’s name such financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements which may require the Grantor’s signature; and (i) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in any Loan Document, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral and to otherwise direct such sale or resale, all as though Attorney were the absolute owner of the property of Grantor for all purposes, and to do, at Attorney’s option and Grantor’s expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and other things that Attorney reasonably deems necessary to perfect, preserve, or realize upon Grantor’s property or assets and Attorney’s Liens thereon, all as fully and effectively as Grantor might do.  Grantor hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that said Attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Power of Attorney is executed by Grantor, and Grantor has caused its seal to be affixed pursuant to the authority of its board of directors this                            day of                                             .

(a)   Such Pledgor is, and at the time of pledge of any Pledged Collateral hereunder will be, the sole holder of record and the sole beneficial owner of such Pledged Collateral free and clear of any Lien thereon or affecting the title thereto, except for any Lien created by this Agreement;

 

(b)   All of such Pledgor’s Pledged Shares and Pledged Interests have been duly authorized, validly issued, are fully paid and, in the case of Pledged Shares, are non-assessable and, in the case of Pledged Interests, are not subject to assessment for additional capital contributions; if the maker of such Pledgor’s Pledged Indebtedness is an Affiliate of such Pledgor, to the best knowledge of such Pledgor, all of such Pledgor’s Pledged Indebtedness has been duly authorized, authenticated or issued and delivered by, and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such maker, and such maker is not in default thereunder; if the maker of such Pledgor’s Pledged Indebtedness is other than an Affiliate of such Pledgor, to the best of such Pledgor’s knowledge all of such Pledgor’s Pledged Indebtedness has been duly authorized, authenticated or issued and delivered by, and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such maker, and such maker is not in default thereunder;

 

(c)   Such Pledgor has the right and requisite authority to pledge, assign, transfer, deliver, deposit and set over the Pledged Collateral pledged by such Pledgor to Agent as provided herein;

this Agreement, except as may be required in connection with such disposition by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally;

 

(g)   The pledge, assignment and delivery of such Pledgor’s Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement will create a valid first priority Lien on and a first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Agent for the benefit of Agent and Lenders in such Pledged Collateral and the proceeds thereof, securing the payment of the Secured Obligations, subject to no other Lien, except Permitted Encumbrances referred to in clause (a) of the definition thereof;

 

(h)   This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Pledgor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Pledgor enforceable against such Pledgor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law);

 

(i)    Except as noted on Part A of Schedule I hereto, such Pledgor’s Pledged Shares constitute 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Stock of each applicable Pledged Entity;

(l)    Except as noted in Part B of Schedule I hereto, none of such Pledgor’s Pledged Interests are presently evidenced by any certificates or other instruments and none of the Operating Agreements presently makes any provision for the issuance of any such certificates or instruments; and

 



 

(m)  None of such Pledgor’s Pledged Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to other Indebtedness (except for the Secured Obligations) or subject to the terms of an indenture.

 

The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 5 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

 

6.             Covenants.  Each Pledgor covenants and agrees that until the Termination Date:

 

(a)   Without the prior written consent of Agent, no Pledgor will sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or otherwise encumber any of its rights in or to the Pledged Collateral, or any unpaid dividends, interest or other distributions or payments with respect to the Pledged Collateral or grant a Lien in the Pledged Collateral, unless, in each case, otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement;

 

(b)   Each Pledgor will, at its expense, (a) promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver all such instruments and take all such actions as Agent from time to time may request in order to ensure to Agent and Lenders the benefits of the Liens in and to the Pledged Collateral intended to be created by this Agreement, including (x) the filing of any necessary Code financing statements, which may be filed by Agent with or (to the extent permitted by law) without the signature of such Pledgor, and (y) the execution and delivery of any necessary foreign law pledge agreements, and (b) will cooperate with Agent, at such Pledgor’s expense, in obtaining all necessary approvals and making all necessary filings under federal, state, local or foreign law in connection with such Liens or any sale or transfer of the Pledged Collateral;

 

(c)   Each Pledgor has and will defend the title to the Pledged Collateral pledged by it and the Liens of Agent in such Pledged Collateral against the claim of any Person and will maintain and preserve such Liens; and

 

(d)   Each Pledgor will, upon obtaining ownership of any additional Stock or promissory notes or instruments of any Person, which Stock, notes or instruments are not already Pledged Collateral (except as may be otherwise provided in Section 5(a)(ii) of the Subsidiary Security Agreement or Section 6(a)(ii) of the Borrower Security Agreement, as the case may be), promptly (and in any event within seven (7) Business Days) deliver to Agent a Pledge Amendment, duly executed by such Pledgor, in substantially the form of Schedule II hereto (a “Pledge Amendment”) in respect of any such additional Stock, notes or instruments, pursuant to which such Pledgor shall pledge to Agent all of such additional Stock, notes and instruments, and in connection with such pledge, (i) with respect to any such Stock of a Pledged Entity which is a limited liability company, provide a Pledge Instruction in the form of Schedule III-A hereto, (ii) with respect to any such Stock of a Pledged Entity, cause each such Pledged Entity to record on its books and records the pledge created hereby and to execute and deliver the Acknowledgment and Agreement in the form of Schedule III-B hereto, and (iii) with respect to any Pledged Collateral evidenced by certificates or instruments, provide evidence that such Pledgors shall have complied with Section 3(b) hereof.  Each Pledgor

 



 

hereby authorizes Agent to attach each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement and agrees that all Pledged Shares and Pledged Indebtedness listed on any Pledge Amendment delivered to Agent shall for all purposes hereunder be considered Pledged Collateral.

 

(e)   Each Pledgor shall comply in all respects with the terms and conditions of each Operating Agreement and all other contracts and agreements relating to the Pledged Collateral.  Without the prior written consent of Agent, no Pledgor shall amend, supplement or otherwise modify (or consent to any such amendment, supplement or modification) the terms of any Operating Agreement in a manner which would adversely affect such Pledgor, Agent or Lenders or such Pledgor’s duty or ability to repay the Secured Obligations; and

 

(f)    If the Pledged Interests become evidenced by certificates or any other instrument, Pledgor shall immediately deliver all such certificates or instruments to Agent together with duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to Agent.

 

7.             Pledgors’ Rights.  As long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and until written notice shall be given to Pledgors in accordance with Section 8(a) hereof:

 

(a)   Pledgors shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and give consents with respect to the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof for all purposes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast, and no consent shall be given or action taken, which would have the effect of impairing the position or interest of Agent in respect of the Pledged Collateral or which would authorize, effect or consent to (unless and to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement or otherwise consented to by the Agent in writing):

 

(i)            the dissolution or liquidation, in whole or in part, of a Pledged Entity, except to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement;

 

(ii)           the consolidation or merger of a Pledged Entity with any other Person, except to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement;

 

(iii)          the sale, disposition or encumbrance of all or substantially all of the assets of a Pledged Entity, except for Liens in favor of Agent or except to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement;

 

(iv)          any change in the authorized number of shares, the stated capital or the authorized share capital of a Pledged Entity or the issuance of any additional shares of its Stock, except to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement;

 

(v)           the issuance of any limited liability company interests or other equity interest of any nature or the issuance of any other interests convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any limited liability company interests or other equity interests of any nature of any Pledged Entity or the issuance of any

 



 

certificates representing any Pledged Interests, except to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement; or

 

(vi)          the alteration of the voting rights with respect to the Stock of a Pledged Entity in any manner adverse to the rights and benefits of the Agent and Lenders under the Loan Agreement or the ability of the Loan Parties to repay the Obligations;

 

(b)   (i)    Pledgors shall be entitled, from time to time, to collect and receive for its own use all cash dividends, other distributions and interest paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent not in violation of the Credit Agreement other than any and all: (A) dividends, other distributions and interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of any Pledged Collateral, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, and not otherwise permitted pursuant to Sections 6.1(a)(iv), 6.8 and 6.12 of the Credit Agreement; (B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Pledged Shares or Pledged Interests in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in capital of a Pledged Entity, and not otherwise permitted pursuant to Sections 6.1(a)(iv), 6.8 and 6.12 of the Credit Agreement; and (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed, in respect of principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, and not otherwise permitted pursuant to Sections 6.1(a)(iv), 6.8 and 6.12 of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that until actually paid all rights to such distributions shall remain subject to the Lien created by this Agreement; and

 

(ii)           all dividends, other distributions and interest (other than such cash dividends, other distributions and interest as are permitted to be paid to Pledgors in accordance with clause (i) above of this subsection (b)) in respect of any of the Pledged Shares or Pledged Indebtedness, whenever paid or made, shall be delivered to Agent to hold as Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by any Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of Agent, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to Agent as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

 

8.             Defaults and Remedies; Proxy.

 

(a)   Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation of such Event of Default, and concurrently with written notice to Pledgors, Agent (personally or through an agent) is hereby authorized and empowered to transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon, to sell in one or more sales after ten (10) days’ notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time at which a private sale is to take place (which notice Pledgors agree is commercially reasonable) the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to

 



 

otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though Agent was the outright owner thereof.  Any sale shall be made at a public or private sale at Agent’s place of business, or at any place to be named in the notice of sale, either for cash or upon credit or for future delivery at such price as Agent may deem fair, and Agent may be the purchaser of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral so sold and hold the same thereafter in its own right free from any claim of Pledgors or any right of redemption.  Each sale shall be made to the highest bidder, but Agent reserves the right to reject any and all bids at such sale which, in its discretion, it shall deem inadequate.  Demands of performance, except as otherwise herein specifically provided for, notices of sale, advertisements and the presence of property at sale are hereby waived and any sale hereunder may be conducted by an auctioneer or any officer or agent of Agent.  EACH PLEDGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS AGENT AS THE PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT OF SUCH PLEDGOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO VOTE THE PLEDGED SHARES AND PLEDGED INTERESTS FOLLOWING THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO.  THE APPOINTMENT OF AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE TERMINATION DATE.  IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO VOTE THE PLEDGED SHARES AND PLEDGED INTERESTS FOLLOWING THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, THE APPOINTMENT OF AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE FOLLOWING THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF THE PLEDGED SHARES AND PLEDGED INTERESTS WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS OR MEMBERS, CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS OR MEMBERS AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS). SUCH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE FOLLOWING THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY PLEDGED SHARES OR PLEDGED INTERESTS ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE ISSUER OF THE PLEDGED SHARES OR PLEDGED INTERESTS OR ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF).  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, AGENT SHALL NOT HAVE ANY DUTY TO EXERCISE ANY SUCH RIGHT OR TO PRESERVE THE SAME AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE TO DO SO OR FOR ANY DELAY IN DOING SO.

 

(b)   If, at the original time or times appointed for the sale of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, the highest bid, if there be but one sale, shall be inadequate to discharge in full all the Secured Obligations, or if the Pledged Collateral be offered for sale in lots, if at any of such sales, the highest bid for the lot offered for sale would indicate to Agent, in its discretion, that the proceeds of the sales of the whole of the Pledged Collateral would be unlikely to be sufficient to discharge all the Secured

 



 

Obligations, Agent may, on one or more occasions and in its discretion, postpone any of said sales by public announcement at the time of sale or the time of previous postponement of sale, and no other notice of such postponement or postponements of sale need be given, any other notice being hereby waived; provided, however, that any sale or sales made after such postponement shall be after ten (10) days’ notice to Pledgors.

 

(c)   If, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default when Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral hereunder, such Pledged Collateral or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or any similar statute then in effect) (the “Act”), Agent may, in its discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), sell such Pledged Collateral or part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as Agent may deem necessary or advisable, but subject to the other requirements of this Section 8, and shall not be required to effect such registration or to cause the same to be effected.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event, Agent in its discretion (x) may, in accordance with applicable securities laws, proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof could be or shall have been filed under said Act (or similar statute), (y) may approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale, and (z) may restrict such sale to a purchaser who is an accredited investor under the Act and who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Pledged Collateral or any part thereof.  In addition to a private sale as provided above in this Section 8, if any of the Pledged Collateral shall not be freely distributable to the public without registration under the Act (or similar statute) at the time of any proposed sale pursuant to this Section 8, then Agent shall not be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected but, in its discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), may require that any sale hereunder (including a sale at auction) be conducted subject to restrictions:

 

(i)            as to the financial sophistication and ability of any Person permitted to bid or purchase at any such sale;

 

(ii)           as to the content of legends to be placed upon any certificates representing the Pledged Collateral sold in such sale, including restrictions on future transfer thereof;

 

(iii)          as to the representations required to be made by each Person bidding or purchasing at such sale relating to that Person’s access to financial information about any Pledgor and such Person’s intentions as to the holding of the Pledged Collateral so sold for investment for its own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof; and

 

(iv)          as to such other matters as Agent may, in its discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in order that such sale (notwithstanding any failure so to register) may be effected in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code and other laws

 



 

affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and the Act and all applicable state securities laws.

 

(d)   Pledgors recognize that Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with clause (c) above.  Pledgors also acknowledge that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private.  Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Pledged Entity to register such securities for public sale under the Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the applicable Pledgor and the Pledged Entity would agree to do so.

 

(e)   Each Pledgor agrees to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law that following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default it will not at any time plead, claim or take the benefit of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption law now or hereafter in force in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale hereunder, and each Pledgor waives the benefit of all such laws to the extent it lawfully may do so.  Each Pledgor agrees that it will not interfere with any right, power and remedy of Agent provided for in this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Agent of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies.  No failure or delay on the part of Agent to exercise any such right, power or remedy and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon any Pledgor by Agent with respect to any such remedies shall operate as a waiver thereof, or limit or impair Agent’s right to take any action or to exercise any power or remedy hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice its rights as against any Pledgor in any respect.

 

(f)    Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 8 will cause irreparable injury to Agent, that Agent shall have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every covenant contained in this Section 8 shall be specifically enforceable against each Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that the Secured Obligations are not then due and payable in accordance with the agreements and instruments governing and evidencing such obligations.

 

9.             Waiver.  No delay on Agent’s part in exercising any power of sale, Lien, option or other right hereunder, and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon any Pledgor by Agent with respect to any power of sale, Lien, option or other right hereunder, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or limit or impair Agent’s right to take any action or to exercise any power of sale, Lien, option, or any other right hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice Agent’s rights as against any Pledgor in any respect.

 



 

10.           Assignment. Agent may assign, indorse or transfer any instrument evidencing all or any part of the Secured Obligations as provided in, and in accordance with, the Credit Agreement, and the holder of such instrument shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

 

11.           Termination.  Immediately following the Termination Date, Agent shall deliver to each Pledgor the Pledged Collateral pledged by such Pledgor at the time subject to this Agreement and all instruments of assignment executed in connection therewith, free and clear of the Liens hereof and, except as otherwise provided in Section 14 herein, all of Pledgors’ obligations hereunder shall at such time terminate.

 

12.           Lien Absolute.  All rights of Agent hereunder, and all obligations of Pledgors hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

 

(a)   any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument governing or evidencing any Secured Obligations;

 

(b)   any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any part of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement,  any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument governing or evidencing any Secured Obligations;

 

(c)   any exchange, release or non-perfection of any other Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;

 

(d)   the insolvency of any Loan Party; or

 

(e)   any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Pledgor.

 

13.           Reinstatement.  This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Pledgor or any Pledged Entity for liquidation or reorganization, should any Pledgor or any Pledged Entity become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Pledgor’s or any Pledged Entity’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent conveyance”, or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.  In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

 



 

14.           Miscellaneous.

 

(a)   Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder by or through agents or employees and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its duties hereunder.

 

(b)   Pledgors jointly and severally agree to promptly reimburse Agent for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees, incurred by Agent in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement.

 

(c)   No Agent, nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents or counsel shall be liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(d)   THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BINDING UPON AND INURE TO THE BENEFIT OF EACH PLEDGOR AND AGENT AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 9 10 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT (INCLUDING IN THE CASE OF ANY PLEDGOR A DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION ON BEHALF OF SUCH PLEDGOR).  NO PLEDGOR MAY ASSIGN, SELL, HYPOTHECATE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER ANY INTEREST IN OR OBLIGATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT THE PRIOR EXPRESS WRITTEN CONSENT OF AGENT.  NO SALES OF PARTICIPATIONS, OTHER SALES, ASSIGNMENTS, TRANSFERS OR OTHER DISPOSITIONS OF ANY AGREEMENT GOVERNING OR INSTRUMENT EVIDENCING THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS OR ANY PORTION THEREIN OR INTEREST THEREON SHALL IN ANY MANNER IMPLY THE LIEN GRANTED TO AGENT FOR THE BENEFIT OF AGENT AND LENDERS HEREUNDER.

 

(e)   THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN THAT STATE, AND NONE OF THE TERMS OR PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE WAIVED, ALTERED, MODIFIED OR AMENDED EXCEPT IN WRITING DULY SIGNED FOR AND ON BEHALF OF AGENT AND EACH PLEDGOR.  THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL, PURSUANT TO NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW 5-1401, FOR ALL PURPOSES BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

15.           Severability.  If for any reason any provision or provisions hereof are determined to be invalid and contrary to any existing or future law, such invalidity shall not impair the operation of or effect those portions of this Agreement which are valid.

 

16.           Notices.  Whenever it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon

 



 

any of the parties by any other party, or whenever any of the parties desires to give or serve upon another any such communication with respect to this Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be in writing and shall be addressed to the party to be notified at the address set forth in Section 11.9 of the Credit Agreement (or such other address as may be substituted by notice given in the manner required by Section 11.9 of the Credit Agreement), and given in the manner required by Section 11.9 of the Credit Agreement.

 

17.           Section Titles.  The Section titles contained in this Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.

 

18.           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, which shall, collectively and separately, constitute one agreement.

 

19.           Benefit of Lenders.  All security interests granted or contemplated hereby shall be for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, and all proceeds or payments realized from the Pledged Collateral in accordance herewith shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

 

20.           Additional Pledgors.  From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional direct and indirect Subsidiaries of any Pledgor may become parties hereto, as additional Pledgors (each, an “Additional Pledgor”), by executing a counterpart of this Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto.  Upon delivery of any such counterpart to Agent, notice of which is hereby waived by the Pledgors, each Additional Pledgor shall be a Pledgor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Pledgor were an original signatory hereto.  Each Pledgor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Pledgor hereunder nor by any election of Agent not to cause any Subsidiary of any Pledgor to become an Additional Pledgor hereunder.  This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Pledgor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Pledgor hereunder.

 

21.           Effect of Amendment and Restatement.  From and after the date hereof (the “Effective Date”):  (a) the terms and conditions of the Existing Pledge Agreement shall be amended as set forth herein and, as so amended, shall be restated in its entirety, but only with respect to the rights, duties and obligations among Pledgors and the Agent accruing from and after the Effective Date; (b) this Agreement shall not in any way release or impair the rights, duties, Obligations or Liens created pursuant to the Existing Pledge Agreement (and such Liens shall continue without any diminution thereof and shall remain in full force and effect on and after the Effective Date) or affect the relative priorities thereof, in each case to the extent in force and effect thereunder as of the Effective Date, and all of such rights, duties, Obligations and Liens are assumed, ratified and affirmed by each Pledgor; (c) the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Lenders or the Agent under the Existing Pledge Agreement, nor constitute a waiver of any covenant, agreement or obligation under the Existing Pledge Agreement, except to the extent that any such covenant, agreement or obligation is no longer set forth herein or is modified hereby;

 



 

and (d) any and all references to the Existing Pledge Agreement in any Loan Document shall, without further action of the parties, be deemed a reference to the Existing Pledge Agreement, as amended and restated by this Agreement, and as this Agreement shall be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.
