NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Adjusted LIBOR” means, with respect to each Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan, the rate obtained by dividing (a) LIBOR for such Interest Period by (b) a percentage equal to 1 minus the stated maximum rate (stated as a decimal) of all reserves, if any, required to be maintained with respect to Eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities”) as specified in Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or against any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined or any applicable category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by an office of any Lender outside of the United States of America to residents of the United States of America). Any change in such maximum

 


 

rate shall result in a change in Adjusted LIBOR on the date on which such change in such maximum rate becomes effective.

 

Affected Lender” has the meaning given that term in Section 3.12.(i).

 

Affiliate” means any Person (other than the Agent or any Lender):  (a) directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, the Borrower; (b) directly or indirectly owning or holding fifteen percent (15.0%) or more of any Equity Interest in the Borrower; or (c) fifteen percent (15.0%) or more of whose voting stock or other Equity Interest is directly or indirectly owned or held by the Borrower.  For purposes of this definition, “control” (including with correlative meanings, the terms “controlling”, “controlled by” and “under common control with”) means the possession directly or indirectly of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities or by contract or otherwise.  The Affiliates of a Person shall include any officer or director of such Person.  In no event shall the Agent or any Lender be deemed to be an Affiliate of the Borrower.

Applicable Law” means all applicable provisions of constitutions, statutes, rules, regulations and orders of all governmental bodies and all orders and decrees of all courts, tribunals and arbitrators.

(b)           From and after the time that Administrative Agent receives written notice from Borrower that Parent or Borrower has an Investment Grade Rating from a Rating Agency and that Borrower has irrevocably elected to have the Applicable Margin determined based on Parent’s or Borrower’s Investment Grade Rating as provided in paragraph (a) above, “Applicable Margin” shall mean, as of any date of determination, a percentage per annum determined by reference to the Credit Rating Level as set forth below (provided that any interest accrued prior to receipt of such notice that is payable at the Applicable Margin determined by reference to the Leverage Ratio shall be payable as provided in Section 2.5.):

Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender interest at the Post Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such Lender and on any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes held by such Lender to or for the account of such Lender (including without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted under Applicable Law).

Section 2.8.                                                        Prepayments.

 

(a)                                 Optional.  The Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the applicable Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time together with a prepayment premium, if applicable, in respect of the principal amount of such Loans so prepaid in an amount equal to the percentage set forth below of such principal amount prepaid for any prepayment made during the periods set forth below:

 

Prepayment Period:

 

Prepayment Consideration

Prepayment made on or before October 25, 2019

 

5% of principal prepaid

Prepayment made after October 25, 2019 and on or before October 26, 2020

 

4% of principal prepaid

Prepayment made after October 26, 2020 and on or before October 25, 2021

Prepayment made after October 25, 2021 and on or before October 25, 2022

 

2% of principal prepaid

Prepayment made after October 25, 2022 and on or before October 25, 2023

 

1% of principal prepaid

 

(the “Prepayment Consideration”).  No prepayment premium shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of any prepayment of such Loans made after October 25, 2023; provided, that if any full or partial prepayment of the outstanding amount of any LIBOR Loan is made other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, the Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 5.4.  The Borrower shall give the Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m., Cleveland time, at least three (3) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as the Agent may agree) prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.8., in each case specifying the proposed date of payment of the Loan and the principal amount to be paid.  Agent shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment of the Term Loans unless it is accompanied by the applicable Prepayment Consideration.  Borrower acknowledges that the Prepayment Consideration is bargained for consideration and is not a penalty.  Borrower recognizes that Lenders would incur substantial additional costs and expense in the event of a prepayment of the Loans and that the Prepayment Consideration compensates Lenders for such costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the loss of Lenders’ investment opportunity during the period from the prepayment date until the Termination Date).  Borrower agrees that Lenders shall not, as a condition to

 

35


 

receiving the Prepayment Consideration, be obligated to actually reinvest the amount prepaid in any obligation or in any other manner whatsoever.  If, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Borrower shall tender payment of an amount sufficient to satisfy the Loan on or before October 25, 2023, such tender by Borrower shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment in the amount tendered and in such case Borrower shall also pay to Lender, with respect to the amount tendered, the applicable Prepayment Consideration.  Agent shall not be obligated to accept any such tender unless it is accompanied by all Prepayment Consideration due in connection therewith.

 

(b)                                 Mandatory. If at any time the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Unsecured Indebtedness of the Parent, the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Credit Agreement Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities), would cause a Default or Event of Default under Section 10.1. (g) or (h), then the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days of the Agent’s demand, pay the amount of such excess, at its choice, either to reduce such Unsecured Indebtedness or to the Agent for the account of the Lenders for application to the Term Loans.  All payments under this Section shall be applied to pay all amounts of principal outstanding on the Term Loans pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2.  If the Borrower is required to pay any outstanding LIBOR Loans by reason of this Section prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period therefor, the Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 5.4.

 

(c)                                  Amortization of Loans.  In the event that the Termination Date is extended pursuant to Section 2.13.(c), then beginning on November 1, 2027 and continuing on the first (1st) day of each calendar month thereafter, throughout the remaining term of the Term Loans, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders a principal payment of the Term Loans, with each such payment based upon and equaling the monthly principal amounts payable pursuant to a thirty (30) year mortgage-style amortization schedule of the aggregate outstanding Term Loans as of the commencement of the Final Term Loan Extension Period assuming an interest rate per annum equal to the blended interest rate (including the Applicable Margin) applicable to Term Loans outstanding under this Agreement as of the commencement of the Final Term Loan Extension Period, which schedule shall be prepared by Agent following the commencement of the Final Term Loan Extension Period, and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

 

Section 2.9.                                                        Continuation.

 

So long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist, the Borrower may on any Business Day, with respect to any LIBOR Loan, elect to maintain such LIBOR Loan or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan.  Each new Interest Period selected under this Section shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period.  Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be made by the Borrower giving to the Agent a Notice of Continuation not later than 11:00 a.m. on the third Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation.  Such notice by the Borrower of a Continuation shall be by telephone or telecopy, confirmed immediately in writing if by telephone, in the form of a Notice of Continuation, specifying (a) the proposed date of such Continuation, (b) the LIBOR Loans and portions thereof subject to such Continuation and (c) the duration of the selected

 

36


 

Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as is necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder.  Each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given.  Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Continuation, the Agent shall notify each applicable Lender by telecopy, or other similar form of transmission, of the proposed Continuation.  If the Borrower shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Section, or if a Default or Event of Default shall exist, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 2.10. or the Borrower’s failure to comply with any of the terms of such Section.

The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon the Borrower’s giving of a Notice of Conversion to the Agent, Convert all or a portion of a Loan of one Type into a Loan of another Type; provided, however, a Base Rate Loan may not be Converted to a LIBOR Loan if a Default or Event of Default shall exist.  Any Conversion of a LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan.  Each such Notice of Conversion shall be given not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into Base Rate Loans and on the third Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into LIBOR Loans.  Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion, the Agent shall notify each applicable Lender by telecopy, or other similar form of transmission, of the proposed Conversion.  Subject to the restrictions specified above, each Notice of Conversion shall be by telephone (confirmed immediately in writing) or telecopy in the form of a Notice of Conversion specifying (a) the requested date of such Conversion, (b) the Type of Loan to be Converted, (c) the portion of such Type of Loan to be Converted, (d) the Type of Loan such Loan is to be Converted into and (e) if such Conversion is into a LIBOR Loan, the requested duration of the Interest Period of such Loan.  Each Notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given.

 

Section 2.11.                                                 Notes.

 

(a)                                 Term Loan Note.  If requested by any Lender, the Term Loans made by such Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit F (each a “Term Loan Note”), payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Commitment as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed.

 

(b)                                 Records.  The date, amount, interest rate, Type and duration of Interest Periods (if applicable) of each Loan made by each Lender to the Borrower, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books and such entries shall be binding on the Borrower, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of a Lender to make any such record shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower under any of the Loan Documents.

 

(c)                                  Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Notes.  Upon receipt by the Borrower of (i) written notice from a Lender that a Note of such Lender has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, and (ii) (A) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, an unsecured agreement of

 

37


 

indemnity from such Lender in form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, or (B) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Borrower shall at its own expense execute and deliver to such Lender a new Note dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

Section 2.13.                                                 Extension of Term Loan Termination Date.

 

(a)                                 The Borrower shall have the right, exercisable one time, to extend the Termination Date to October 23, 2026.  The Borrower may exercise such right only by executing and delivering to the Agent not earlier than 366 days and not later than 60 days prior to the current Termination Date (or such other date as the Agent may agree in writing in its sole discretion), a written request for such extension (a “Term Loan Extension Request”).  The Agent shall forward to each Lender a copy of the Term Loan Extension Request delivered to the Agent promptly upon receipt thereof.  Subject to satisfaction of the following conditions, the Termination Date shall be extended to October 23, 2026:  at the time of such notice, immediately prior to such extension and immediately after giving effect thereto, (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist and (ii) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such extension with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited under the Loan Documents.

 

(b)                                 In the event that the Termination Date has been extended as provided in Section 2.13.(a), the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable one time, to extend the Termination Date to October 25, 2027.  The Borrower may exercise such right only by executing and delivering to the Agent not earlier than 366 days and not later than 60 days prior to the current Termination Date (or such other date as the Agent may agree in writing in its sole discretion), a Term Loan Extension Request.  The Agent shall forward to each Lender a copy of the Term Loan Extension Request delivered to the Agent promptly upon receipt thereof.  Subject to satisfaction of the following conditions, the Termination Date shall be extended to October 25, 2027:  at the time of such notice, immediately prior to such extension and immediately after giving effect thereto, (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist and (ii) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such extension with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited under the Loan Documents.

 

(c)                                  In the event that the Termination Date has been extended as provided in Section 2.13.(a) and (b), the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable one time, to extend the

 

38


 

Termination Date to October 25, 2028 (such extension period pursuant to this Section 2.13.(c), the “Final Term Loan Extension Period”).  The Borrower may exercise such right only by executing and delivering to the Agent not earlier than 366 days and not later than 60 days prior to the current Termination Date (or such other date as the Agent may agree in writing in its sole discretion), a Term Loan Extension Request.  The Agent shall forward to each Lender a copy of the Term Loan Extension Request delivered to the Agent promptly upon receipt thereof.  Subject to satisfaction of the following conditions, the Termination Date shall be extended to October 25, 2028:  at the time of such notice, immediately prior to such extension and immediately after giving effect thereto, (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist and (ii) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such extension with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited under the Loan Documents.

 

Section 2.14.                                                 Reserved.

 

Section 2.15.                                                 Amount Limitations.

 

Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Lender shall be required to make a Loan, if immediately after the making of such Loan, the aggregate principal amount of all Unsecured Indebtedness of the Parent, the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, outstanding Loans) would cause a Default or Event of Default under Section 10.1.(g) or (h).

 

Section 2.16.                                                 Increase of Commitments.

 

The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the term of this Agreement to request increases in the aggregate amount of the Commitments (provided that after giving effect to any increases in the Commitments pursuant to this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitments may not exceed $300,000,000) by providing written notice to the Agent.  Each such increase in the Commitments must be in an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof.  If a new Lender becomes a party to this Agreement in order to provide such additional Commitment, or if any existing Lender agrees to increase its Commitment, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a Lender hereunder (or increases its Commitment, in the case of an existing Lender) make Term Loans (any such Term Loan, an “Incremental Term Loan”) to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount equal to such new Lender’s Commitment (or the amount of the increase in its Commitment, in the case of an existing Lender), by making available for the account of its applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds, in an aggregate principal amount equal to such new Lender’s Commitment (or the amount of the increase in its Commitment, in the case of an existing Lender).  Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.16. and Section 6.2., the Agent will make the proceeds of such borrowing available to the Borrower at the account specified by Borrower.  No Lender shall be required to increase its Commitment and any new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement

 

39


 

in connection with any such requested increase must be an Eligible Assignee.  No increase of the Commitments may be effected under this Section if (x) a Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such increase (and no Default or Event of Default would arise after giving pro forma effect to such increase) or (y) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any Loan Document to which any such Loan Party is a party is not (or would not be) true or correct in all material respects on the effective date of such increase (except for representations or warranties which expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited under the Loan Documents).  In addition, in connection with and as a condition to any increase of the Term Loans, the Borrower shall obtain an additional Interest Rate Hedge with respect to such increased Commitment as is necessary to comply with Section 8.16.  In connection with any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this subsection, (a) any Lender becoming a party hereto shall execute such documents and agreements as the Agent may reasonably request and (b) the Borrower shall, if requested by the affected Lender, make appropriate arrangements so that each new Lender, and any existing Lender increasing its Commitment, receives a new or replacement Note, as appropriate, in the amount of such Lender’s Commitment simultaneous with the effectiveness of the applicable increase in the aggregate amount of Commitments.  Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any increase of Commitments under this Section 2.16., the Agent may (without the consent of any Lender) amend this Agreement to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the increase of Commitments.

Section 3.1.                                                        Payments.

 

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set off or counterclaim, to the Agent at its Principal Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).  Subject to Section 11.4., the Borrower may, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any Note, specify to the Agent the amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied.  Each payment received by the Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender no later than 5:00 p.m. on the date of receipt.  If the Agent fails to pay such amount to a Lender as provided in the previous sentence, the Agent shall pay interest on such amount until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.  If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable for the period of such extension.

(b)                                 Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.2., if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, each payment by the Borrower hereunder shall be applied in accordance with Section 3.11.(d).

 

Section 3.3.                                                        Sharing of Payments, Etc.

 

If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan made by it to the Borrower under this Agreement, or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by the Borrower or a Loan Party through the exercise of any right of set off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by the Borrower to a Lender not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment should be distributed to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2. or Section 11.4., as applicable, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans made by the other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2. or Section 11.4., as applicable.  To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.  The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed to such

 

41


 

other Lenders may exercise 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 Loans in the amount of such participation.  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 the Borrower.

 

Section 3.4.                                                        Several Obligations.

 

No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

Section 3.8.                                                        Usury.

 

In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that the Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith.  It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrower not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law.

 

Section 3.9.                                                        Agreement Regarding Interest and Charges.

 

The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Section 2.5(a)(i) and (ii), and if applicable, interest at the Post Default Rate as provided in this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, unused fees, closing fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Agent or any Lender, in each case in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are charges made to compensate the Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money.  All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.

 

Section 3.10.                                                 Statements of Account.

 

The Agent will account to the Borrower monthly with a statement of Loans, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon Borrower absent manifest error.  The failure of the Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.

 

Section 3.11.                                                 Defaulting Lenders.

 

(a)                                 Generally.  If for any reason any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Agent or the Borrower under this Agreement or Applicable Law, such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in respect of, to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of the Agent or to be taken into account in the calculation of the Requisite Lenders or all of the Lenders, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal.  If a Lender is a Defaulting Lender because it has failed to make timely payment to the Agent of any amount required to be paid to the Agent hereunder (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods),

 

43


 

in addition to other rights and remedies which the Agent or the Borrower may have under the immediately preceding provisions or otherwise, the Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which the payment is made at the Federal Funds Rate, (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest.  Any amounts received by the Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender’s Loans shall be paid applied as set forth in Section 3.11.(d).

 

(b)                                 Purchase or Cancellation of Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.  Any Non-Defaulting Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to acquire all of a Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.  Any Lender desiring to exercise such right shall give written notice thereof to the Agent and the Borrower no sooner than 2 (two) Business Days and not later than 5 (five) Business Days after such Defaulting Lender became a Defaulting Lender.  If more than one Lender exercises such right, each such Lender shall have the right to acquire an amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment in proportion to the Commitments of the other Lenders exercising such right.  If after such 5th (fifth) Business Day, the Lenders have not elected to purchase all of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, by giving written notice thereof to the Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, either (i) demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitment to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.5.(d) for the purchase price provided for below or (ii) terminate the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, whereupon such Defaulting Lender shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.  Upon the termination of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment, the Borrower may, at its option but subject to first obtaining Agent’s prior written approval, which may be granted in its sole discretion, notwithstanding the provisions in Section 3.2., make a payment to the Defaulting Lender in an amount equal to the principal balance of the Loans outstanding, accrued interest and other fees owed by the Borrower to the Defaulting Lender.  No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee.  Upon any such purchase or assignment, the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loans and its rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof or under the Loan Documents or this Agreement to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of the purchase) shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance Agreement.  The purchase price for the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender shall be equal to the amount of the principal balance of the Loans outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Defaulting Lender.  Prior to payment of such purchase price to a Defaulting Lender, the Agent shall apply against such purchase price any amounts retained by the Agent pursuant to Section 3.11.(d).  Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive amounts owed to it by the Borrower under the Loan Documents which accrued prior to the date of the default by the Defaulting Lender, to the extent the same are received by the Agent from or on behalf of the Borrower.  There shall be no recourse against any Lender or the Agent for the payment of such sums except to the extent of the receipt of payments from any other party or in respect of the Loans.

(d)                                 Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.3.), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows:  first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; third, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement and (y) be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Agent or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Agent or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;  fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (i) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Term Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (ii) such Term Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1. and 6.2., as applicable, were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Term Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis until such time as all Term Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Commitment Percentages prior to being applied to the payment of any Term Loans of such Defaulting Lender.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(h)                                 Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower, and the Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or

 

45


 

on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

 

Section 3.12.                                                 Taxes.

 

(a)                                 Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or other applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.12.) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

 

(b)                                 Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

 

(c)                                  Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.12.) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the determinations in such statement are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

 

(d)                                 Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or another Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.5.(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,

 

46


 

whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection.

 

(e)                                  Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.12., the Borrower or such other Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

(f)                                   Status of Lenders.

 

(i)                                     Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

 

(ii)                                  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person:

 

(A)                               any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

 

(B)                               any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a

 

47


 

Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

 

(I)                                   in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

 

(II)                              an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

(III)                         in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

 

(IV)                          to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-2 or Exhibit K-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

 

(C)                               any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

 

(D)                               if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail

 

48


 

to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

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

 

(g)                                  Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.12. (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.12.), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.12. with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund has not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it reasonably deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

 

(h)                                 Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.12. shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

 

(i)                                     Right to Replace Lender.  If (x) a Lender requests compensation pursuant to this Section 3.12. or Section 5.1. and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same, (y) a Lender’s obligations with respect to LIBOR Loans are suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(b) or Section 5.3. and the obligations of the Requisite Lenders are not also suspended or (z) in

 

49


 

connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent which requires the approval of each Lender under Section 13.6.(b), and with respect to which approvals from the Requisite Lenders have been obtained, a Lender that has not given, or been deemed to have given, its approval of such matter, then, so long as there does not then exist any Event of Default, the Borrower may demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Commitment to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.5.(d) for a purchase price to be agreed on by the Affected Lender and the Eligible Assignee, but not in excess of the par value thereof.  Each of the Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this subsection, but at no time shall the Agent, such Affected Lender nor any other Lender be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee.  The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this subsection shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders.  The terms of this subsection shall not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to this Section 3.12., Section 5.1. or Section 5.4., as applicable, with respect to periods up to the date of replacement.

Section 4.1.                                                        Reserved.

 

Section 4.2.                                                        Conditions Precedent to a Property Becoming an Eligible Unencumbered Pool Property.

 

No Property shall become an Eligible Unencumbered Pool Property until the Borrower shall have caused to be executed and delivered to the Agent, if such Property is owned by a Subsidiary that is not already a Guarantor or any Subsidiary which owns an interest therein is liable with respect to Unsecured Indebtedness and such Subsidiaries are not exempted from being a Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.3.(b), (i) an Accession Agreement executed by such Subsidiary (or if such Subsidiary is the first Subsidiary to become a Guarantor, the Guaranty), and (ii) all of the items that would have been required to be delivered to the Agent under Section 6.1.(a)(iv) through (vii) had such Subsidiary been a Loan Party on the Effective Date.

 

Section 4.3.                                                        Release of Guarantors and Unencumbered Pool Properties; Additional Guarantors.

 

(a)                                 From time to time the Borrower may request, upon not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Agent (or such shorter period as the Agent may agree in its sole discretion), that a Subsidiary that is a Guarantor solely pursuant to Section 4.3.(c) be released from the Guaranty, which release (the “Release”) shall be effected by the Agent if all of the following conditions are satisfied as of the date of such Release:

 

(i)                                     no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing or would occur or exist immediately after giving effect to such Release; and

 

(ii)                                  Administrative Agent shall have received evidence satisfactory to it (which evidence may be in the form of a certificate from an officer of the Borrower certifying

 

50



 

thereto) that such Subsidiary has not created, incurred, acquired, assumed, or suffered to exist and is not otherwise liable (whether as a borrower, co-borrower, guarantor or otherwise) with respect to any Unsecured Indebtedness (or simultaneously with the release hereunder will be released from liability with respect to such Unsecured Indebtedness).  Nothing in this Section 4.3.(a) shall authorize the release of Parent from the Springing Guaranty.

 

(b)                                 Reserved.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time any Subsidiary of Borrower shall create, incur, acquire, assume, suffer to exist or is or becomes otherwise liable with respect to any Unsecured Indebtedness, whether as a borrower, co-borrower, guarantor or otherwise, then in either case Borrower shall simultaneously cause such Subsidiary to become a Guarantor and to deliver to Agent an Accession Agreement (or if such Subsidiary is the first Subsidiary to become a Guarantor, the Guaranty) and the other documents required by Section 4.2. to be delivered with respect to a new Guarantor.

 

In connection with any such release, Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to Borrower, at Borrower’s expense, all documents that Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such release.

 

Section 4.4.                                                        Frequency of Calculations of Unencumbered Pool Value and the Unsecured Debt Interest Coverage Ratio.

 

Initially, the Unencumbered Pool Value and the Unsecured Debt Interest Coverage Ratio shall be the amount set forth as such in the Compliance Certificate delivered under Section 6.1.  Thereafter, the Unencumbered Pool Value and the Unsecured Debt Interest Coverage Ratio shall be the amount set forth as such in the Compliance Certificate delivered from time to time under Section 4.3.(a), 4.5. or 9.4.(g).  Any increase in the Unencumbered Pool Value and the Unsecured Debt Interest Coverage Ratio shall become effective as of the next determination of the Unencumbered Pool Value and the Unsecured Debt Interest Coverage Ratio as provided in this Section, provided that as of such date of determination the applicable Compliance Certificate substantiates such increase.

 

Section 4.5.                                                        Removal of Ineligible Property.

 

Upon any asset ceasing to qualify to be included as an Unencumbered Pool Property in the calculation of the Unencumbered Pool Value and the Unsecured Debt Interest Coverage Ratio, such asset shall no longer be included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Pool Value and the Unsecured Debt Interest Coverage Ratio.  Within five (5) Business Days after the Borrower becomes aware of any such disqualification, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a certificate reflecting such disqualification, together with the identity of the disqualified asset, a statement as to whether any Default or Event of Default will arise as a result of such disqualification after the Borrower has the opportunity to cure any such Default of Event of Default in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 11.1., and a calculation of the Unencumbered Pool Value and Net Operating Income attributable to such asset.  Simultaneously with the delivery of the items required above, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a pro forma Compliance Certificate and calculation of Unencumbered Pool Value and Unsecured Debt

 

51


 

Interest Coverage Ratio demonstrating, after giving effect to such removal or disqualification and any reduction of the Loans in accordance with Section 11.1., compliance with the covenants contained in Section 10.1.

 

ARTICLE V.   YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

 

Section 5.1.                                                        Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.

 

(a)                                 Additional Costs.  The Borrower shall promptly pay to the Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any Loans or its obligation to make any Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital or liquidity in respect of its Loans or its Commitment (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), to the extent resulting from any Regulatory Change that:  (i) changes the basis of taxation (other than for Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and Connection Income Taxes) of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or its Commitment; or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (other than Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other reserve requirement to the extent utilized in the determination of Adjusted LIBOR for such Loan) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender, or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitment of such Lender hereunder); or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (but subject to the terms of Section 3.12.) (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy).

 

(b)                                 Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans.  Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsection (a), if, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert any other Type of Loans into, LIBOR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall apply).

 

(c)                                  Reserved.

 

(d)                                 Notification and Determination of Additional Costs.  Each of the Agent and each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the Effective Date

 

52


 

entitling the Agent or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, the failure of the Agent or any Lender to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder (and in the case of a Lender, to the Agent); provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 5.1.(d) for any Additional Costs incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such Additional Costs, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such Additional Costs is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).  The Agent or such Lender agrees to furnish to the Borrower (and in the case of a Lender, to the Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and amount of each request by the Agent or such Lender for compensation under this Section.  Absent manifest error, determinations by the Agent or any Lender of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

 

Section 5.2.                                                        Suspension of LIBOR Loans.

 

(a)                                 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of Adjusted LIBOR for any Interest Period:

 

(i)                                     the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted LIBOR for such Interest Period, or

 

(ii)                                  the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that Adjusted LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period;

 

then the Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans, Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans and the Borrower shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either repay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.

 

(b)                                 If at any time the Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that either (i) (A) the circumstances set forth in Section 5.2.(a) have arisen and are unlikely to be temporary, or (B) the circumstances set forth in Section 5.2.(a) have not arisen but the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of LIBOR or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Agent has made a public statement identifying the specific date after which LIBOR shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans (either such date, a “LIBOR Termination Date”), or (ii) a rate other than LIBOR has become a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in Dollars in the U.S. market, then the Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to choose a replacement index for LIBOR and make adjustments to applicable margins and related amendments to this Agreement as referred to below such that, to the extent practicable, the all-in interest rate based on the

 

53


 

replacement index will be substantially equivalent to the all-in LIBOR based interest rate in effect prior to its replacement.

 

(c)                                  The Agent, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect the replacement index, the adjusted margins and such other related amendments as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Agent, for the implementation and administration of the replacement index-based rate.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Section 13.6.), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement at 5:00 p.m. (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date a draft of the amendment is provided to the Lenders, unless the Agent receives, on or before such tenth (10th) Business Day, a written notice from the Requisite Lenders stating that such Lenders object to such amendment.  As a condition to such amendment becoming effective, Borrower shall provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent that Borrower is and will be in compliance with the requirement of Section 8.16. to have an Interest Rate Hedge in place with respect to the replacement index.

 

(d)                                 Selection of the replacement index, adjustments to the applicable margins, and amendments to this Agreement (i) will be determined with due consideration to the then-current market practices for determining and implementing a rate of interest for newly originated syndicated loans in the United States and loans converted from a LIBOR based rate to a replacement index-based rate, and (ii) may also reflect adjustments to account for (x) the effects of the transition from LIBOR to the replacement index and (y) yield or risk-based differences between LIBOR and the replacement index.

 

(e)                                  Until an amendment reflecting a new replacement index in accordance with this Section 5.2. is effective, each advance, conversion and renewal of a LIBOR Loan will continue to bear interest with reference to LIBOR; provided however, that if the Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that a LIBOR Termination Date has occurred, then following the LIBOR Termination Date, all LIBOR Loans shall automatically be converted to Base Rate Loans until such time as an amendment reflecting a replacement index and related matters as described above is implemented.

 

(f)                                   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time the replacement index is less than zero, at such times, such index shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.

 

Section 5.3.                                                        Illegality.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it has become unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy to the Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall be applicable).

 

54


 

Section 5.4.                                                        Compensation.

 

The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through the Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense that such Lender reasonably determines is attributable to:

 

(a)                                 any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Loan, or Conversion of a LIBOR Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

 

(b)                                 any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Article VI. to be satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Loan from such Lender on the requested date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or Continue a LIBOR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.

 

Upon the Borrower’s request, any Lender requesting compensation under this Section shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof.  Absent manifest error, determinations by any Lender in any such statement shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

 

Section 5.5.                                                        Treatment of Affected Loans.

 

If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(b) or 5.3., then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 5.1.(b) or 5.3., on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1. or 5.3. that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

 

(a)                                 to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

 

(b)                                 all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

 

If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1. or 5.3. that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent

 

55


 

necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the applicable Lenders holding such LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

 

Section 5.6.                                                        Change of Lending Office.

 

Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 3.12., 5.1. or 5.3. to reduce the liability of the Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion.

 

Section 5.7.                                                        Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans.

 

Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Article V. shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded LIBOR Loans through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loans in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loans 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 used only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article V.

Obligations), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law.  Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Agent shall not exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have so directed the Agent to exercise such right or remedy.

The Agent may resign at any time as Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower.  The Agent may be removed as Agent under the Loan Documents for good cause by all of the Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as the Agent) upon 30 days’ prior notice.  Upon any such resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the resigning Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Lenders’ removal of the removed Agent, then the resigning or removed Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be a commercial bank having total combined assets of at least $50,000,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, 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 under the Loan Documents.  After any Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article XII shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under the Loan Documents.

Section 12.9.                                                 Titled Agents.

 

Each of the Titled Agents in each such respective capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders.  The titles of “Arranger”, “Bookrunner” and “Syndication Agent” are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Agent, the Borrower or any Lender and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.

To such Lender’s address or telecopy number, as applicable, set forth on its signature page hereto or in the applicable Assignment and Acceptance Agreement;

 

or, as to each party at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties delivered in compliance with this Section.  All such notices and other communications shall be effective (i) if mailed, when received; (ii) if telecopied, when transmitted; or (iii) if hand delivered or sent by overnight courier, when delivered.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, all notices or communications to the Agent or any Lender under Article II. shall be effective only when actually received.  Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to the Borrower (nor shall the Agent incur any liability to the Lenders) for acting upon any telephonic notice referred to in this Agreement which the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, believes in good faith to have been given by a Person authorized to deliver such notice or for otherwise acting in good faith hereunder.

89


 

written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, e-mail or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.

 

Section 13.2.                                                 Expenses.

 

The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Agent for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, any of the Loan Documents (including due diligence expenses and travel expenses relating to closing), and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including (x) the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agent, (y) costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with the use of IntraLinks, Inc., Syndtrak or other similar information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents, and (z) reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the review of Properties for inclusion in calculations of the covenants set forth in Section 10.1.(g) — (h) and the Agent’s other activities under Article XII., including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agent relating to all such activities, (b) to pay or reimburse the Agent and the Lenders for all their reasonable costs and expenses incurred following the occurrence of a Default in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under the Loan Documents, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of their respective counsel and any payments in indemnification or otherwise payable by the Lenders to the Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents, (c) to pay, and indemnify and hold harmless the Agent from any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any failure to pay or delay in paying, documentary, stamp, excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of any of the Loan Documents, or consummation of any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, any Loan Document and (d) to the extent not already covered by any of the preceding subsections, to pay or reimburse the Agent and the Lenders for all their costs and expenses incurred in connection with any bankruptcy or other proceeding of the type described in Sections 11.1.(f) or 11.1.(g), including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agent and any Lender, whether such fees and expenses are incurred prior to, during or after the commencement of such proceeding or the confirmation or conclusion of any such proceeding.  If the Borrower shall fail to pay any amounts required to be paid by it pursuant to this Section within thirty (30) days after receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor, the Agent, and/or the Lenders may pay such amounts on behalf of the Borrower and either deem the same to be Loans outstanding hereunder or otherwise Obligations owing hereunder.

 

Section 13.3.                                                 Setoff.

 

Subject to Section 3.3. and in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Agent, each Lender and each Participant is hereby authorized by the Borrower, at any time or from time to time during

 

90



 

the continuance of an Event of Default, without prior notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender or Participant subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Agent exercised in its sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Agent, such Lender or any affiliate of the Agent or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of any of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not any or all of the Loans and all other Obligations have been declared to be, or have otherwise become, due and payable as permitted by Section 11.2., and although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  Each Lender and Participant agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application nor give rise to any claim against or liability of such Lender or participant.

 

Section 13.4.                                                 Litigation; Jurisdiction; Other Matters; Waivers.

 

(a)                                 EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES.  ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE AGENT, AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

 

(b)                                 EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY AGREES THAT ANY FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT LOCATED IN NEW YORK OR, AT THE OPTION OF THE AGENT, ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, NEW YORK, SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS, PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOANS, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING HEREFROM OR THEREFROM.  THE BORROWER AND EACH OF THE LENDERS EXPRESSLY SUBMIT AND CONSENT

 

91


 

IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH CLAIMS OR DISPUTES.  EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME.  THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

 

(c)                                  THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

Section 13.5.                                                 Successors and Assigns.

 

(a)                                 The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement (including by way of an LLC Division) without the prior written consent of all Lenders and any such assignment or other transfer to which all of the Lenders have not so consented shall be null and void.

 

(b)                                 Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Loans at, to or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an affiliate of such Lender except to the extent such transfer would result in increased costs to the Borrower.

 

(c)                                  Any Lender may at any time grant to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or the Obligations owing to such Lender; provided, however, after giving effect to any such participation by a Lender, the amount of its Commitment, or if the Commitments have been terminated, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Notes held by it, in which it has not granted any participating interests must be equal to $5,000,000; and provided further that such participant shall not be a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 13.3., no Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment,

 

92


 

modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, however, such Lender may agree with the Participant that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase, or extend the term or extend the time or waive any requirement for the reduction or termination of, such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon or (v) release any Guarantor (except as otherwise permitted under Section 4.3.).  An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (d) or (e) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (c).  Upon request from the Agent or Borrower, a Lender shall notify the Agent of the sale of any participation hereunder and, if requested by the Agent, certify to the Agent that such participation is permitted hereunder and that the requirements of Section 3.12. (including Section 3.12.(f)) and this section have been satisfied.  Participant shall deliver to such Lender the documents described in Section 3.12.(f).  No Participant shall be entitled to any benefits under Section 3.12. greater than if the Participant had acquired its interest by assignment, and no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.12. than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive thereunder.  Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.12.(i) and Section 5.6. as if it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees to cooperate with Borrower and any relevant Participant to effectuate the provisions of Section 5.6. with respect any such Participant.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (and is maintained in accordance with Sections 5f. 103-1(c) and 1.871-14(c)(1)(i) of the United States Treasury Regulations) (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Sections 5f.103-1(c) and 1.871-14(c)(i)(i) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

 

(d)                                 Any Lender may with the prior written consent of the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default exists, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consents, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld (it being agreed that the Borrower’s withholding of consent to an assignment which would result in (i) the Borrower having to pay any amounts (or increased amounts) under Section 3.12. as a result of the admission of such an Assignee or (ii) the admission of an Assignee which refuses to receive confidential information subject to the confidentiality requirements set forth herein shall in each case be deemed to be reasonable)), assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to such Lender); provided, however, (i) no such consent by the Borrower or

 

93


 

the Agent shall be required in the case of any assignment to another Lender or any affiliate of such Lender, and no such consent of Borrower shall be required in the case of any assignment to an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender; (ii) without limiting a full assignment by a Lender, unless the Borrower and the Agent otherwise agree, after giving effect to any partial assignment by a Lender, the Assignee shall hold, and the assigning Lender shall retain, a Commitment, or if the Commitments have been terminated, Loans having an outstanding principal balance, of at least $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) each such assignment and the requisite consents shall be effected by means of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement.  Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided, if the Borrower reasonably requests additional information regarding the proposed assignee, the foregoing time period will be automatically extended until three (3) Business Days after the Borrower receives information regarding the proposed assignee responsive to the Borrower’s request.  Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Lender party to this Agreement with respect to the assigned interest as of the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with respect to the assigned interest as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder with respect to the assigned interest to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required.  Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection, the transferor Lender, the Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that (i) to the extent requested by the assignee Lender or transferor Lender, new Notes are issued to the Assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate and (ii) any Notes held by the assigning Lender are promptly returned to the Borrower for cancellation (and, to the extent not so returned, Borrower shall be entitled to receive a customary indemnity agreement of the type described in Section 2.11.(c)(ii)(A) from such assigning Lender).  In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to the Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $5,000.  Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in its Commitment or any Loan held by it hereunder to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower.

 

(e)                                  The Agent shall maintain at the Principal Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amounts (and the amount of interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The Agent shall give each Lender and the Borrower notice of the assignment by any Lender of its rights as contemplated by this Section.  The Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register and copies of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice to the Agent.  Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed by an assigning Lender, together with each Note subject to such assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement has been completed and if the Agent receives the processing and recording fee described in subsection (d) above, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance

 

94


 

Agreement, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.

 

(f)                                   In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section, any Lender may assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its Notes to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, and such Loans and Notes shall be fully transferable as provided therein.  No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

 

(g)                                  A Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries in the possession of such Lender from time to time to Assignees and Participants (including prospective Assignees and Participants) subject to compliance with Section 13.8.

 

(h)                                 Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to the Borrower, the Parent, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries or to any natural Person.

 

(i)                                     Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other jurisdiction.

 

(j)                                    In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (i) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (ii) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Commitment Percentage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

 

Section 13.6.                                                 Amendments.

 

(a)                                 Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be given by the Lenders may be given, and any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document may

 

95


 

be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party a party thereto).

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, no amendment, waiver or consent shall do any of the following:

 

(i)                                     increase the Commitments of the Lenders (except for any increase in the Commitments effectuated pursuant to Section 2.16.) (which action shall be deemed only to affect those Lenders whose Commitments are increased);

 

(ii)                                  reduce the principal of, or interest rates (other than interest or fees at the Post Default Rate) that have accrued or that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of, any Loans or other Obligations (it being understood and agreed that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions or any changes in the calculation of the Leverage Ratio in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest for purposes of this clause (ii) of this Section 13.6.(b)) (which actions shall be deemed only to affect those Lenders of whose principal or interest is reduced);

 

(iii)                               reduce the amount of any Fees payable hereunder or postpone any date fixed for payment thereof (it being understood and agreed that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions or any changes in the calculation of the Leverage Ratio in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in any Fees for purposes of this clause (iii) of this Section 13.6.(b)) (which action shall be deemed only to affect those Lenders the Fees relating to whose Commitments are reduced or such other date for payment are postponed or extended);

 

(iv)                              modify the definition of the term “Termination Date” (except as contemplated under Section 2.13.) or otherwise postpone any date fixed for any payment of any principal of (including any amortization payment required under Section 2.8.(c)), or interest on, any Loans or any other Obligations (including the waiver of any Default or Event of Default as a result of the nonpayment of any such Obligations as and when due)(which action shall be deemed only to affect those Lenders the Termination Date of whose Commitments or such other date for payment are postponed or extended);

 

(v)                                 amend or otherwise modify the provisions of Sections 3.2. or 11.4.;

 

(vi)                              modify the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” or otherwise modify in any other manner that reduces the number or percentage of the Lenders required to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof, including without limitation, any modification of this Section 13.6. if such modification would have such effect;

 

96


 

(vii)                           release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from the Guaranty other than as provided in Section 4.3.;

 

(viii)                        amend or otherwise modify the provisions of Section 2.15.; or

 

(ix)                              reduce the Prepayment Consideration payable hereunder or modify the dates at or through which Prepayment Consideration is payable.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders, except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

 

(c)                                  No amendment, waiver or consent, unless in writing and signed by the Agent, in such capacity, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

(d)                                 No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 12.5., no course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto.  Any Default or Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Default or Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by any Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default.  Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon any Loan Party shall entitle such Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

 

(e)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.6., if the Agent and the Borrower have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or an inconsistency between provisions of this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents, the Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision or provisions to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interest of the Lenders.  Any such amendment shall become effective without any further or consent of any of other party to this Agreement.  The Agent shall promptly forward to the Lenders a copy of any amendment entered into pursuant to this Section 13.6.(e).

Section 13.7.                                                 Nonliability of Agent and Lenders.

 

The relationship between the Borrower and the Lenders and the Agent shall be solely that of borrower and lender.  Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower or the Parent and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Agent or any Lender to any Lender, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party.  Neither the Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower or the Parent to review or inform the Borrower or the Parent of any matter in connection with any phase of the business or operations of the Borrower or the Parent.

 

Section 13.8.                                                 Confidentiality.

 

The Agent and each Lender shall use reasonable efforts to assure that information about Borrower, the other Loan Parties and other Subsidiaries, and the Properties thereof and their operations, affairs and financial condition, not generally disclosed to the public, which is furnished to the Agent or any Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, is used only for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall not be divulged to any Person other than the Agent, the Lenders, and their respective agents who are actively and directly participating in the evaluation, administration or enforcement of the Loan Documents and other transactions between the Agent or such Lender, as applicable, and the Borrower, but in any event the Agent and the Lenders may make disclosure:  (a) to any of their respective affiliates (provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section 13.8.); (b) as reasonably requested by any potential Assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with the contemplated transfer of any Commitment or participations therein as permitted hereunder (provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or regulator or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings; (d) to the Agent’s or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information); (e) after the happening and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to any other Person, in connection with the exercise by the Agent or the Lenders of rights hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents; (f) upon Borrower’s prior consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), to any contractual counter-parties to any swap or similar hedging agreement or to any rating agency; and (g) to the extent such information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Affiliate.

 

Section 13.9.                                                 Indemnification.

 

(a)                                 The Borrower shall and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Agent, each of the Lenders, any affiliate of the Agent or any Lender, and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, agents, employees and counsel (each referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all of the following (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”):  losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or

 

98


 

reasonable expenses of every kind and nature (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, court costs and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding or any advice rendered in connection therewith, but excluding losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses indemnification in respect of which is specifically covered by Section 3.12. or 5.1. or expressly excluded from the coverage of such Sections 3.12. or 5.1.) incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of, or by reason of, any suit, cause of action, claim, arbitration, investigation or settlement, consent decree or other proceeding (the foregoing referred to herein as an “Indemnity Proceeding”) which is in any way related directly or indirectly to:  (i) this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) the making of any Loans; (iii) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans; (iv) the Agent’s or any Lender’s entering into this Agreement; (v) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders have established the credit facility evidenced hereby in favor of the Borrower; (vi) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders are creditors of the Borrower and have or are alleged to have information regarding the financial condition, strategic plans or business operations of the Parent, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries; (vii) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders are material creditors of the Borrower and are alleged to influence directly or indirectly the business decisions or affairs of the Parent, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries or their financial condition; (viii) the exercise of any right or remedy the Agent or the Lenders may have under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; or (ix) any violation or non compliance by the Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Applicable Law (including any Environmental Law) including, but not limited to, any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by (A) the Internal Revenue Service or state taxing authority or (B) any Governmental Authority or other Person under any Environmental Law, including any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by a Governmental Authority or other Person seeking remedial or other action to cause the Borrower or its Subsidiaries (or its respective properties) (or the Agent and/or the Lenders as successors to the Borrower) to be in compliance with such Environmental Laws; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party for (A) any acts or omissions of such Indemnified Party in connection with matters described in this subsection to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment or (B) Indemnified Costs to the extent arising directly out of or resulting directly from claims of one or more Indemnified Parties against another Indemnified Party not involving any act or omission of the Borrower or Guarantor.

 

(b)                                 The Borrower’s indemnification obligations under this Section 13.9. shall apply to all Indemnity Proceedings arising out of, or related to, the foregoing whether or not an Indemnified Party is a named party in such Indemnity Proceeding.  In this regard, this indemnification shall cover all Indemnified Costs of any Indemnified Party in connection with any deposition of any Indemnified Party or compliance with any subpoena (including any subpoena requesting the production of documents).  This indemnification shall, among other things, apply to any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by other creditors of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, any shareholder of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (whether such shareholder(s) are prosecuting such Indemnity Proceeding in their individual capacity or derivatively on behalf of the Borrower), any account debtor of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or by any Governmental Authority. If indemnification is to be sought hereunder by an Indemnified Party, then such Indemnified Party shall notify the Borrower of the commencement of any Indemnity Proceeding;

 

99


 

provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Borrower shall not relieve the Borrower from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 13.9.

 

(c)                                  This indemnification shall apply to any Indemnity Proceeding arising during the pendency of any bankruptcy proceeding filed by or against the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary.

 

(d)                                 All out of pocket fees and expenses of, and all amounts paid to third persons by, an Indemnified Party shall be advanced by the Borrower at the request of such Indemnified Party notwithstanding any claim or assertion by the Borrower that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party that such Indemnified Party will reimburse the Borrower if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not so entitled to indemnification hereunder.

 

(e)                                  An Indemnified Party may conduct its own investigation and defense of, and may formulate its own strategy with respect to, any Indemnity Proceeding covered by this Section and, as provided above, all Indemnified Costs incurred by such Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Borrower.  No action taken by legal counsel chosen by an Indemnified Party in investigating or defending against any such Indemnity Proceeding shall vitiate or in any way impair the obligations and duties of the Borrower hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless each such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if (i) the Borrower is required to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant hereto and (ii) the Borrower has provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party that the Borrower has the financial wherewithal to reimburse such Indemnified Party for any amount paid by such Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnity Proceeding, such Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrower where (x) no monetary relief is sought against such Indemnified Party in such Indemnity Proceeding or (y) there is an allegation of a violation of law by such Indemnified Party.

 

(f)                                   If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this Section are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law.

 

(g)                                  The Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment in full in cash of the Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any other of their obligations set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party.

 

Section 13.10.                                          Termination; Survival.

 

At such time as (a) all of the Commitments have been terminated, (b) Reserved, (c) none of the Lenders is obligated any longer under this Agreement to make any Loans and (d) all

 

100



 

Obligations (other than obligations which survive as provided in the following sentence) have been paid and satisfied in full, this Agreement shall terminate.  The indemnities to which the Agent and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of Sections 3.12., 5.1., 5.4., 12.8., 13.2. and 13.9. and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions of Section 13.4., shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Agent and the Lenders (i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against events arising after such termination as well as before and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement.

 

Section 13.11.                                          Severability of Provisions.

 

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

Section 13.12.                                          GOVERNING LAW.

 

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL, PURSUANT TO NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SECTION 5-1401, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

 

Section 13.13.                                          Patriot Act.

 

The Lenders and the Agent each hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower and the other Loan Parties in accordance with the such Act.

 

Section 13.14.                                          Counterparts.

 

This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

Section 13.15.                                          Obligations with Respect to Loan Parties.

 

The obligations of the Borrower to direct or prohibit the taking of certain actions by the other Loan Parties as specified herein shall be absolute and not subject to any defense the Borrower may have that the Borrower does not control such Loan Parties.

 

101


 

Section 13.16.                                          Limitation of Liability.

 

Neither the Agent nor any Lender, nor any affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of the Agent or any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.  The Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue the Agent or any Lender or any of the Agent’s or any Lender’s affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or financed hereby.

 

Section 13.17.                                          Entire Agreement.

 

This Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents referred to herein embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto.  There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto.

 

Section 13.18.                                          Construction.

 

The Borrower, the Agent and each Lender acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the Borrower, the Agent and each Lender.

 

Section 13.19.                                          Non-Recourse to Parent.

 

Except to the extent set forth in the Springing Guaranty and subject to the limitations described below, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, recourse for the Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are non-recourse to the Parent as a result of its capacity as the general partner of the Borrower, provided that the foregoing shall not limit any recourse to the Borrower and the other Guarantors and their respective assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.  Agent and the Lenders agree that the Parent shall not be liable for any of the Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents as a result of its status as the general partner of the Borrower.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if an Event of Default occurs, nothing in this Section 13.19. shall in any way prevent or hinder the Agent or the Lenders in the pursuit or enforcement of any right, remedy, or judgment against the Borrower or any of the other Guarantors, or any of their respective assets; (b) nothing herein shall be deemed a waiver, release or impairment of the Obligations or any Lien securing the Obligations or affect the validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents; (c) the Parent shall be fully liable to the

 

102


 

Agent and the Lenders to the same extent that Parent would be liable absent the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.19. for fraud or willful misrepresentation by the Parent (or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to the extent relating to the Compliance Certificate, financial statements or other reporting of or with respect to the Parent under Article IX, or to the extent that the Parent was acting on behalf of the Borrower or such other Loan Party in its capacity as the general partner (as is the case, without limitation, with respect to the Borrower and this Agreement and representations and warranties made pursuant hereto or required hereunder) or the indirect sole member or manager of such other Loan Party) (to the full extent of losses suffered by the Agent or any Lender by reason of such fraud or willful misrepresentation); and (d) nothing in this Section 13.19. shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which Agent may have under §506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code, Title 11, U.S.C.A. (as amended from time to time), or any successor thereto or similar provisions under applicable state law to file a claim against the Borrower or any of the other Guarantors for the full amount of the Obligations.  Nothing herein shall waive, relieve, reduce or impair any Obligation of the Parent under the Springing Guaranty.

 

Section 13.20.                                          Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(iii)                               the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

 

103


 

Section 13.21.                                          Reliance on Hedge Provider.

 

For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with Section 11.2 or any other provision of the Loan Documents, the Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the trustee, paying agent or other similar representative (each, a “Representative”) or, in the absence of such a Representative, upon the holder of the Hedge Obligations for a determination (which each holder of the Hedge Obligations agrees (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Agent) of the outstanding Hedge Obligations owed to the holder thereof.  Unless it has actual knowledge (including by way of written notice from such holder) to the contrary, the Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Hedge Obligations are outstanding.

WHEREAS, the Assignor is a Lender under that certain Term Loan Agreement dated as of October 25, 2018 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Term Loan Agreement”), by and among Kite Realty Group, L.P. (the “Borrower”), the financial institutions party thereto and their assignees under Section 13.5. thereof (the “Lenders”), the Agent, and the other parties thereto;

 

WHEREAS, the Assignor desires to assign to the Assignee, among other things, all or a portion of the Assignor’s Commitment under the Term Loan Agreement, all on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

 

WHEREAS, the Agent consents to such assignment on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

Section 1.  Assignment.

 

(a)                                 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in consideration of the payment to be made by the Assignee to the Assignor pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement, effective as of             , 201  (the “Assignment Date”), the Assignor hereby irrevocably sells, transfers and assigns to the Assignee, without recourse, a $           interest (such interest being the “Assigned Commitment”) in and to the Assignor’s Commitment and all of the other rights and obligations of the Assignor under the Term Loan Agreement, such Assignor’s Term Loan Note and the other Loan Documents (representing       % in respect of the aggregate amount of all Lenders’ Commitments), including without limitation, a principal amount of outstanding Term Loans equal to $          and all voting rights of the Assignor associated with the Assigned Commitment, all rights to receive interest on such amount of Term Loans and all commitment and other Fees with respect to the Assigned Commitment and other rights of the Assignor under the Term Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to the Assigned Commitment, all as if the Assignee were an original Lender under and signatory to the Term Loan Agreement having a Commitment equal to the amount of the Assigned Commitment.  The Assignee, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, hereby assumes all obligations of the Assignor with respect to the Assigned Commitment as if the Assignee were an original Lender under and signatory to the Term Loan Agreement having a Commitment equal to the Assigned Commitment and the obligation to indemnify the Agent as provided therein (the foregoing enumerated obligations, together with all other similar obligations more particularly set forth in the Term Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, collectively, the “Assigned Obligations”).  The Assignor shall have no further duties

(b)                                 The assignment by the Assignor to the Assignee hereunder is without recourse to the Assignor.  The Assignee makes and confirms to the Agent, the Assignor, and the other Lenders all of the representations, warranties and covenants of a Lender under Article XII. of the Term Loan Agreement.  Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Assignee acknowledges and agrees that, except as set forth in Section 4 below, the Assignor is making no representations or warranties with respect to, and the Assignee hereby releases and discharges the Assignor for any responsibility or liability for:  (i) the present or future solvency or financial condition of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, (ii) any representations, warranties, statements or information made or furnished by the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party in connection with the Term Loan Agreement or otherwise, (iii) the validity, efficacy, sufficiency, or enforceability of the Term Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document or instrument executed in connection therewith, or the collectability of the Assigned Obligations, (iv) the perfection, priority or validity of any Lien with respect to any collateral at any time securing the Obligations or the Assigned Obligations under the Notes or the Term Loan Agreement and (v) the performance or failure to perform by the Borrower or any other Loan Party of any obligation under the Term Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party.  Further, the Assignee acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, or on any affiliate or subsidiary thereof, the Assignor or any other Lender and based on the financial statements supplied by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to become a Lender under the Term Loan Agreement.  The Assignee also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Assignor or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Term Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents or pursuant to any other obligation.  Except as expressly provided in the Term Loan Agreement, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility whatsoever, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide the Assignee with any credit or other information with respect to the Borrower or any other Loan Party or to notify the Assignee of any Default or Event of Default.  The Assignee has not relied on the Agent as to any legal or factual matter in connection therewith or in connection with the transactions contemplated thereunder.

FORM OF GUARANTY

 

THIS GUARANTY (the “Guaranty”) dated as of             ,     , executed and delivered by each of the undersigned and the other Persons from time to time party hereto pursuant to the execution and delivery of an Accession Agreement in the form of Annex I hereto (all of the undersigned, together with such other Persons each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) in favor of (a) KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, in its capacity as Agent (the “Agent”) for the Lenders under that certain Term Loan Agreement dated as of October 25, 2018 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Term Loan Agreement”), by and among Kite Realty Group, L.P. (the “Borrower”), the financial institutions party thereto and their assignees under Section 13.5. thereof (the “Lenders”), the Agent, and the other parties thereto, and (b) the Lenders.

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement, the Agent and the Lenders have agreed to make available to the Borrower certain financial accommodations on the terms and conditions set forth in the Term Loan Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower and each of the Guarantors, though separate legal entities, are mutually dependent on each other in the conduct of their respective businesses as an integrated operation and have determined it to be in their mutual best interests to obtain financing from the Agent and the Lenders through their collective efforts;

 

WHEREAS, each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the Agent and the Lenders making such financial accommodations available to the Borrower under the Term Loan Agreement and, accordingly, each Guarantor is willing to guarantee the Borrower’s obligations to the Agent and the Lenders on the terms and conditions contained herein; and

 

WHEREAS, each Guarantor’s execution and delivery of this Guaranty is a condition to the Agent and the Lenders making, and continuing to make, such financial accommodations to the Borrower.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each Guarantor, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

 

Section 1.  Guaranty.  Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranties the due and punctual payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all of the following (collectively referred to as the “Guarantied Obligations”):  (a) all indebtedness and obligations owing by the Borrower to any Lender, the Agent or to any Lender Hedge Provider with respect to the Hedge Obligations under or in connection with the Term Loan Agreement and any other Loan Document, including without limitation, the repayment of all principal of the Term Loans and the payment of all interest, Fees, charges, attorneys’ fees and other amounts payable to any Lender, the Agent or any Lender Hedge Provider thereunder or in connection therewith; (b) any and all extensions, renewals, modifications, amendments or substitutions of the foregoing; (c) all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that are incurred by the Lenders, the

 

B-1-1


 

Agent and the Lender Hedge Providers in the enforcement of any of the foregoing or any obligation of such Guarantor hereunder; and (d) all other Obligations.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, under no circumstances shall any of the Guarantied Obligations as to any Guarantor include any obligation that constitutes an Excluded Hedge Obligation of such Guarantor.

 

Section 2.  Guaranty of Payment and Not of Collection. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment, and not of collection, and a debt of each Guarantor for its own account.  Accordingly, none of the Lenders, the Agent or the Lender Hedge Providers shall be obligated or required before enforcing this Guaranty against any Guarantor:  (a)  to pursue any right or remedy any of them may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or commence any suit or other proceeding against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person in any court or other tribunal; (b) to make any claim in a liquidation or bankruptcy of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person; or (c) to make demand of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to enforce or seek to enforce or realize upon any collateral security held by the Lenders, the Agent or the Lender Hedge Providers which may secure any of the Guarantied Obligations.

 

Section 3.  Guaranty Absolute.  Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guarantied Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the documents evidencing the same, regardless of any Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Agent or the Lenders with respect thereto.  The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including without limitation, the following (whether or not such Guarantor consents thereto or has notice thereof):

 

(a)                                 (i) any change in the amount, interest rate or due date or other term of any of the Guarantied Obligations, (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of all or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations, (iii) any amendment or waiver of, or consent to the departure from or other indulgence with respect to, the Term Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Interest Rate Hedge, or any other document or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guarantied Obligations, or (iv) any waiver, renewal, extension, addition, or supplement to, or deletion from, or any other action or inaction under or in respect of, the Term Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, the Interest Rate Hedge, or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Guarantied Obligations or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;

 

(b)                                 any lack of validity or enforceability of the Term Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, the Interest Rate Hedge, or any other document, instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;

 

B-1-2


 

(c)                                  any furnishing to the Agent, the Lenders or the Lender Hedge Providers of any security for the Guarantied Obligations, or any sale, exchange, release or surrender of, or realization on, any collateral securing any of the Obligations;

 

(d)                                 any settlement or compromise of any of the Guarantied Obligations, any security therefor, or any liability of any other party with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, or any subordination of the payment of the Guarantied Obligations to the payment of any other liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party;

 

(e)                                  any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to such Guarantor, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding;

 

(f)                                   any act or failure to act by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person which may adversely affect such Guarantor’s subrogation rights, if any, against the Borrower to recover payments made under this Guaranty;

 

(g)                                  any nonperfection or impairment of any security interest or other Lien on any collateral, if any, securing in any way any of the Obligations or the Hedge Obligations;

 

(h)                                 any application of sums paid by the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person with respect to the liabilities of the Borrower to the Agent, the Lenders or the Lender Hedge Providers, regardless of what liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid;

 

(i)                                     any defect, limitation or insufficiency in the borrowing powers of the Borrower or in the exercise thereof;

 

(j)                                    any LLC Division of Borrower or any other Loan Party; or

 

(k)                                 any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, a Guarantor hereunder (other than indefeasible payment and performance in full).

 

Section 4.  Action with Respect to Guarantied Obligations.  The Lenders, the Agent and the Lender Hedge Providers may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without discharging any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder, take any and all actions described in Section 3 and may otherwise:  (a) amend, modify, alter or supplement the terms of any of the Guarantied Obligations, including, but not limited to, extending or shortening the time of payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations or changing the interest rate that may accrue on any of the Guarantied Obligations; (b) amend, modify, alter or supplement the Term Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or the Interest Rate Hedge; (c) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with all, or any part, of any collateral securing any of the Obligations or the Hedge Obligations; (d) release any other Loan Party or other Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Guarantied Obligations; (e) exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person; and (f) apply any sum, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the Guarantied Obligations in such order as the Lenders shall elect.

 

B-1-3


 

Section 5.  Representations and Warranties.  Each Guarantor hereby makes to the Agent, the Lenders and the Lender Hedge Providers all of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower with respect to or in any way relating to such Guarantor in the Term Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as if the same were set forth herein in full.

 

Section 6.  Covenants.  Each Guarantor will comply with all covenants which the Borrower is to cause such Guarantor to comply with under the terms of the Term Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.  Each Guarantor that is a limited liability company covenants and agrees that it shall not at any time undertake an LLC Division.

 

Section 7.  Waiver.  Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any extent might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

 

Section 8.  Inability to Accelerate Loan.  If the Agent, the Lenders and/or the Lender Hedge Providers are prevented under Applicable Law or otherwise from demanding or accelerating payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Agent, the Lenders and/or the Lender Hedge Providers shall be entitled to receive from each Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred.

 

Section 9.  Reinstatement of Guarantied Obligations.  If claim is ever made on the Agent, any Lender or any Lender Hedge Provider for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, and the Agent, such Lender or any Lender Hedge Provider repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Agent, such Lender or such Lender Hedge Provider with any such claimant (including the Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy for the Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of the Term Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, the Interest Rate Hedge or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Agent, such Lender or such Lender Hedge Provider for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to the Agent, such Lender or such Lender Hedge Provider.

 

Section 10.  Subrogation.  Upon the making by any Guarantor of any payment hereunder for the account of the Borrower, such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Borrower; provided, however, that such Guarantor shall not enforce any right or receive any payment by way of subrogation or otherwise take any action in respect of any other claim or cause of action such Guarantor may have against the Borrower arising by reason of any payment or performance by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty, unless and until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full.  If any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of or in respect of such subrogation rights or other claims

 

B-1-4


 

or causes of action, such Guarantor shall hold such amount in trust for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and the Lender Hedge Providers and shall forthwith pay such amount to the Agent to be credited and applied against the Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Term Loan Agreement or to be held by the Agent as collateral security for any Guarantied Obligations existing.

 

Section 11.  Payments Free and Clear.  All sums payable by each Guarantor hereunder, whether of principal, interest, Fees, expenses, premiums or otherwise, shall be paid in full, without set off or counterclaim or any deduction or withholding whatsoever (including any Taxes other than any Taxes withheld pursuant to Section 3.12. of the Term Loan Agreement unless such Tax is an Indemnified Tax), and if any Guarantor is required by Applicable Law or by a Governmental Authority to make any such deduction or withholding, such Guarantor shall pay to the Agent and the Lenders such additional amount as will result in the receipt by the Agent and the Lenders of the full amount payable hereunder had such deduction or withholding not occurred or been required.

 

Section 12.  Set-off.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any of the other Loan Documents or Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Guarantor hereby authorizes the Agent and each Lender, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, without any prior notice to such Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender or Participant subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Agent exercised in its sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Agent, such Lender, or any affiliate of the Agent or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor against and on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, that any Participant may exercise rights of setoff or counterclaim and other rights with respect to its participation as fully as if such Participant were a direct creditor of such Guarantor in the amount of such participation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amounts set off from any Guarantor shall be applied to Excluded Hedge Obligations of such Guarantor

 

Section 13.  Subordination.  Each Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and the Lender Hedge Providers that all obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to such Guarantor of whatever description, including without limitation, all intercompany receivables of such Guarantor from the Borrower (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Guarantied Obligations.  If an Event of Default shall exist, then no Guarantor shall accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property or securities, by setoff or otherwise) from the Borrower on account of or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.

 

Section 14.  Avoidance Provisions.  It is the intent of each Guarantor, the Agent, the Lenders and the Lender Hedge Providers that in any Proceeding, such Guarantor’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such

 

B-1-5


 

Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”) and (b) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.  The Applicable Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent, the Lenders and the Lender Hedge Providers) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions”.  Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Guarantied Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Guarantied Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent, the Lenders and the Lender Hedge Providers), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions.  This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Agent, the Lenders and the Lender Hedge Providers hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Guarantor or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Agent, the Lenders and the Lender Hedge Providers that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

 

Section 15.  Information.  Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and the other Guarantors, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Agent, the Lenders or the Lender Hedge Providers shall have any duty whatsoever to advise any Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks.

 

Section 16.  Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL, PURSUANT TO NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SECTION 5-1401, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

 

Section 17.  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

 

(a)                                 EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OR ANY OF THE LENDER HEDGE PROVIDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES.  ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE AGENT, THE LENDER HEDGE PROVIDERS AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR

 

B-1-6


 

AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE AGENT, ANY OF THE LENDERS OR ANY OF THE LENDER HEDGE PROVIDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

 

(b)                                 EACH OF THE GUARANTORS, THE AGENT, EACH LENDER AND EACH LENDER HEDGE PROVIDER HEREBY AGREES THAT ANY FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT LOCATED IN NEW YORK OR, AT THE OPTION OF THE AGENT, ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, NEW YORK, SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE AGENT, ANY OF THE LENDERS OR ANY OF THE LENDER HEDGE PROVIDERS, PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING HEREFROM OR THEREFROM.  EACH GUARANTOR AND EACH OF THE LENDERS EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH CLAIMS OR DISPUTES.  EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME.  THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY LENDER HEDGE PROVIDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY LENDER HEDGE PROVIDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

 

(c)                                  THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTY.

 

Section 18.  Loan Accounts.  The Agent, each Lender and each Lender Hedge Provider may maintain books and accounts setting forth the amounts of principal, interest and other sums paid and payable with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, and in the case of any dispute relating to any of the outstanding amount, payment or receipt of any of the Guarantied Obligations or otherwise, the entries in such books and accounts shall be deemed conclusive evidence of the amounts and other matters set forth herein, absent manifest error.  The failure of the Agent, any Lender or any Lender Hedge Provider to maintain such books and accounts shall not in any way relieve or discharge any Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder.

 

Section 19.  Waiver of Remedies.  No delay or failure on the part of the Agent, any Lender or any Lender Hedge Provider in the exercise of any right or remedy it may have against any Guarantor hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial

 

B-1-7



 

exercise by the Agent, any Lender or any Lender Hedge Provider of any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right or remedy.

 

Section 20.  Termination.  This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of the Term Loan Agreement in accordance with Section 13.10 of the Term Loan Agreement.

 

Section 21.  Successors and Assigns.  Each reference herein to the Agent, the Lenders or any Lender Hedge Provider shall be deemed to include such Person’s respective successors and assigns (including, but not limited to, any holder of the Guarantied Obligations) in whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty also shall inure, and each reference herein to each Guarantor shall be deemed to include such Guarantor’s successors and assigns (and, in the event any Guarantor is a limited liability company and shall undertake an LLC Division shall be deemed to include each limited liability company resulting from any such LLC Division), upon whom this Guaranty also shall be binding.  The Lenders may, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Term Loan Agreement, assign, transfer or sell any Guarantied Obligation, or grant or sell participations in any Guarantied Obligations, to any Person without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor and without releasing, discharging or modifying any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.  Subject to Section 13.8. of the Term Loan Agreement, each Guarantor hereby consents to the delivery by the Agent or any Lender to any Assignee or Participant (or any prospective Assignee or Participant) of any financial or other information regarding the Borrower or any Guarantor.  No Guarantor may assign or transfer its obligations hereunder to any Person without the prior written consent of all Lenders and any such assignment or other transfer to which all of the Lenders have not so consented shall be null and void.

 

Section 22.  JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS.  THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE GUARANTORS HEREUNDER SHALL BE JOINT AND SEVERAL, AND ACCORDINGLY, EACH GUARANTOR CONFIRMS THAT IT IS LIABLE FOR THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE “GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS” AND ALL OF THE OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF EACH OF THE OTHER GUARANTORS HEREUNDER.

 

Section 23.  Amendments.  This Guaranty may not be amended other than in writing in accordance with the terms of Section 13.6. of the Term Loan Agreement.

 

Section 24.  Payments.  All payments to be made by any Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds to the Agent at the Principal Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of demand therefor.

 

Section 25.  Notices.  All notices, requests and other communications hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given (a) to each Guarantor at its address set forth below its signature hereto, (b) to the Agent or any Lender at its respective address for notices provided for in the Term Loan Agreement or if to a Lender Hedge Provider as provided in the Interest Rate Hedge, or (c) as to each such party at such other address as such party shall designate in a written notice to the other parties.  Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if mailed, when received; (ii) if telecopied, when

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement, the Agent and the Lenders have agreed to make available to the Borrower certain financial accommodations on the terms and conditions set forth in the Term Loan Agreement;

WHEREAS, Guarantor’s execution and delivery of this Guaranty is a condition to the Agent and the Lenders making, and continuing to make, such financial accommodations to the Borrower.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by Guarantor, Guarantor agrees as follows:

 

Section 1.                                           Guaranty.  Guarantor, upon the occurrence of a Springing Recourse Event, hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranties the due and punctual payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all of the following (collectively referred to as the “Guarantied Obligations”):  (a) all indebtedness and obligations owing by the Borrower to any Lender, the Agent or to any Lender Hedge Provider with respect to the Hedge Obligations under or in connection with the Term Loan Agreement and any other Loan Document, including without limitation, the repayment of all principal of the Term Loans, and the payment of all interest, Fees, charges, attorneys’ fees and other amounts payable to any Lender, the Agent or any Lender Hedge Provider thereunder or in connection therewith; (b) any and all extensions, renewals, modifications, amendments or substitutions of the foregoing; (c) all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that are incurred by the Lenders, the Agent and the Lender Hedge Providers in

Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the guaranty under this Guaranty of the Guarantied Obligations shall automatically become fully effective upon the occurrence of any Springing Recourse Event and no other documentation or notice shall be required to evidence the same.

 

Section 2.                                           Guaranty of Payment and Not of Collection.  This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment, and not of collection, and upon the occurrence of a Springing Recourse Event, a debt of Guarantor for its own account.  Accordingly, none of the Lenders, the Agent or the Lender Hedge Providers shall be obligated or required before enforcing this Guaranty against Guarantor after a Springing Recourse Event:  (a) to pursue any right or remedy any of them may have against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person or commence any suit or other proceeding against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in any court or

a.                                      (i) any change in the amount, interest rate or due date or other term of any of the Guarantied Obligations, (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of all or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations, (iii) any amendment or waiver of, or consent to the departure from or other indulgence with respect to, the Term Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Interest Rate Hedge, or any other document or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guarantied Obligations, or (iv) any waiver, renewal, extension, addition, or supplement to, or deletion from, or any other action or inaction under or in respect of, the Term Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, the Interest Rate Hedge, or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Guarantied Obligations or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;

 

b.                                      any lack of validity or enforceability of the Term Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, the Interest Rate Hedge, or any other document, instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;

B-2-4


 

Loan Party or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding;

 

f.                                        any act or failure to act by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person which may adversely affect Guarantor’s subrogation rights, if any, against the Borrower to recover payments made under this Guaranty;

 

g.                                       any nonperfection or impairment of any security interest or other Lien on any collateral, if any, securing in any way any of the Obligations or the Hedge Obligations;

 

h.                                      any application of sums paid by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person with respect to the liabilities of the Borrower to the Agent, the Lenders or the Lender Hedge Providers, regardless of what liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid;

 

i.                                          any defect, limitation or insufficiency in the borrowing powers of the Borrower or in the exercise thereof;

 

j.                                         any LLC Division of any  Loan Party; or

 

k.                                      any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Guarantor hereunder (other than indefeasible payment and performance in full).

 

Section 4.                                           Action with Respect to Guarantied Obligations.  The Lenders, the Agent and the Lender Hedge Providers may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, Guarantor, and without discharging Guarantor from its obligations hereunder, take any and all actions described in Section 3 and may otherwise:  (a) amend, modify, alter or supplement the terms of any of the Guarantied Obligations, including, but not limited to, extending or shortening the time of payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations or changing the interest rate that may accrue on any of the Guarantied Obligations; (b) amend, modify, alter or supplement the Term Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or the Interest Rate Hedge; provided, however, that no such amendments can require Guarantor to modify the nature of the springing guaranty provided hereunder without the approval of Guarantor; (c) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with all, or any part, of any collateral securing any of the Obligations or the Hedge Obligations; (d) release any other Loan Party or other Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Guarantied Obligations; (e) exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person; and (f) apply any sum, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the Guarantied Obligations in such order as the Lenders shall elect.

 

Section 5.                                           Reserved.

 

Section 6.                                           Reserved.

 

Section 7.                                           Waiver.  Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any

 

B-2-5


 

manner or to any extent might vary the risk of Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

 

Section 8.                                           Inability to Accelerate Loan.  If the Agent, the Lenders and/or the Lender Hedge Providers are prevented under Applicable Law or otherwise from demanding or accelerating payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations after the occurrence of a Springing Recourse Event by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Agent, the Lenders and/or the Lender Hedge Providers shall be entitled to receive from Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred.

 

Section 9.                                           Reinstatement of Guarantied Obligations.  If claim is ever made on the Agent, any Lender or any Lender Hedge Provider for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, and the Agent, such Lender or any Lender Hedge Provider repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Agent, such Lender or such Lender Hedge Provider with any such claimant (including the Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy for the Borrower), then and in such event Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of the Term Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, the Interest Rate Hedge or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and Guarantor shall, upon the occurrence of a Springing Recourse Event, be and remain liable to the Agent, such Lender or such Lender Hedge Provider for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to the Agent, such Lender or such Lender Hedge Provider.

 

Section 10.                                    Subrogation.  Upon the making by Guarantor of any payment hereunder for the account of the Borrower, Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Borrower; provided, however, that Guarantor shall not enforce any right or receive any payment by way of subrogation or otherwise take any action in respect of any other claim or cause of action Guarantor may have against the Borrower arising by reason of any payment or performance by Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty, unless and until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full.  If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of or in respect of such subrogation rights or other claims or causes of action, Guarantor shall hold such amount in trust for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and the Lender Hedge Providers and shall forthwith pay such amount to the Agent to be credited and applied against the Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Term Loan Agreement or to be held by the Agent as collateral security for any Guarantied Obligations existing.

 

Section 11.                                    Payments Free and Clear.  All sums payable by Guarantor hereunder, whether of principal, interest, Fees, expenses, premiums or otherwise, shall be paid in full, without set off or counterclaim or any deduction or withholding whatsoever (including any Taxes other than any Taxes withheld pursuant to Section 3.12. of the Term Loan Agreement unless such Tax is an Indemnified Tax), and if Guarantor is required by Applicable Law or by a Governmental Authority to make any such deduction or withholding, Guarantor shall pay to the Agent and the Lenders such additional amount as will result in the receipt by the Agent and the

 

B-2-6


 

Lenders of the full amount payable hereunder had such deduction or withholding not occurred or been required.

 

Section 12.                                    Set-off.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any of the other Loan Documents or Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, Guarantor hereby authorizes the Agent and each Lender, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default and after the occurrence of a Springing Recourse Event, without any prior notice to Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender or Participant subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Agent exercised in its sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Agent, such Lender, or any affiliate of the Agent or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of Guarantor against and on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.  Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law and subject to the terms hereof, that any Participant may exercise rights of setoff or counterclaim and other rights with respect to its participation after the occurrence of a Springing Recourse Event as fully as if such Participant were a direct creditor of Guarantor in the amount of such participation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amounts set off from Guarantor shall be applied to Excluded Hedge Obligations of Guarantor.

 

Section 13.                                    Subordination.  Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and the Lender Hedge Providers that all obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to Guarantor of whatever description, including without limitation, all intercompany receivables of Guarantor from the Borrower (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Guarantied Obligations.  If an Event of Default shall exist, then Guarantor shall not accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property or securities, by setoff or otherwise) from the Borrower on account of or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.

 

Section 14.                                    Avoidance Provisions.  It is the intent of Guarantor, the Agent, the Lenders and the Lender Hedge Providers that in any Proceeding, Guarantor’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders to be avoidable or unenforceable against Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”) and (b) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.  The Applicable Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of Guarantor to the Agent, the Lenders and the Lender Hedge Providers) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions”.  Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Guarantied Obligations for which Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Guarantied Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause

the obligations of Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of Guarantor to the Agent, the Lenders and the Lender Hedge Providers), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions.  This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Agent, the Lenders and the Lender Hedge Providers hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and neither Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Agent, the Lenders and the Lender Hedge Providers that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

 

Section 15.                                    Information.  Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Agent, the Lenders or the Lender Hedge Providers shall have any duty whatsoever to advise Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks.

 

Section 16.                                    Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL, PURSUANT TO NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SECTION 5-1401, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.
