Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On November 19, 2021, Hanesbrands Inc. (the “Company”), along with each of MFB International Holdings S.à r.l. (“MFB International Holdings”), and HBI Holdings Australasia Pty Ltd (f/k/a HBI Australia Acquisition Co. Pty Ltd.), wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amended Credit Agreement”) with the various financial institutions and other persons from time to time party to the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement (the “Lenders”), Bank of America, N.A., Barclays Bank PLC, HSBC Bank USA, N.A., PNC Bank, National Association, Truist Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as the co-syndication agents, Fifth Third Bank, National Association, The Bank of Nova Scotia, MUFG Securities Americas Inc. and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as the co-documentation agents, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent and the collateral agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., BOFA Securities, Inc., Barclays Bank PLC, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., PNC Capital Markets LLC, Truist Securities Inc., and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as the joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, which amends and restates the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2017 (as amended through the date hereof, the “Prior Credit Agreement”).

The Fifth Amended Credit Agreement provides for potential committed aggregate borrowings of up to $2.00 billion, consisting of: (i) a $950 million revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Loan Facility”) available to be borrowed in dollars and Euros, (ii) a $1 billion term loan a facility (the “Term Loan Facility”), and (iii) a revolving loan facility in an amount of up to the Australian dollar equivalent of $50 million (the “Australian Revolving Facility” and together with the Revolving Loan Facility and the Term Loan Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”). Additionally, subject to customary joinder conditions anticipated to be met after the Closing Date, $50 million of the Revolving Loan Facility will be available in Euros to be borrowed by HBI Italy Acquisition Co. S.R.L. (the “Euro Borrower”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. A portion of the Revolving Loan Facility is available for the issuances of letters of credit and the making of swingline loans, and any such issuance of letters of credit or making of a swingline loan will reduce the amount available under the Revolving Loan Facility.

At the Company’s option, it may add one or more tranches of term loans or increase the commitments under the Revolving Loan Facility so long as certain conditions are satisfied, including, among others, that no default or event of default is in existence, the Company is in pro forma compliance with the financial covenants set forth below and the Company’s senior secured leverage ratio is not greater than 3.50 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of such indebtedness.

The proceeds of the Revolving Loan Facility will be used for general corporate purposes and working capital needs. The proceeds of the Term Loan Facility were used to refinance existing term loan borrowings under the Prior Credit Agreement and to redeem, together with cash on hand, the Company’s 5.375% Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”). The proceeds of the Australian Revolving Facility will be used to refinance that certain Working Capital Facility Agreement, dated as of July 15, 2016 as amended by the First Amending Agreement, dated July 13, 2021, among the Australian Borrower, the other Australian subsidiaries party thereto, Westpac Banking Corporation and Westpac New Zealand Limited and for working capital and general corporate purposes (including letters of credit and bank guarantees).

The Revolving Loan Facility and the Term Loan Facility are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries, with certain customary or agreed-upon exceptions for certain subsidiaries. The Company and each of the guarantors under the Revolving Loan Facility and the Term Loan Facility have granted the lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Facility a valid and perfected first priority (subject to certain customary exceptions) lien and security interest in (i) the equity interests of substantially all of the Company’s direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries and 65% of the voting securities of certain first tier foreign subsidiaries; and (ii) substantially all present and future property and assets, real and personal, tangible and intangible, of the Company and each guarantor, except for certain enumerated interests, and all proceeds and products of such property and assets.

The Australian Revolving Facility is guaranteed by the Company and substantially all of the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries, with certain customary or agreed-upon exceptions, as well as certain of the Company’s indirect foreign subsidiaries, including substantially all of its Australian and New Zealand subsidiaries. In connection with such guarantee, the Company and certain of the guarantors under the Australian Revolving Facility have granted the lenders under the Australian Revolving Facility a valid and perfected first priority (subject to certain customary exceptions) liens and security interest in substantially all of their assets.


The Revolving Loan Facility and the Australian Revolving Facility each mature on November 19, 2026. All borrowings under such facilities must be repaid in full upon maturity. Outstanding borrowings under either facility may be reborrowed and repaid without penalty.

The Term Loan Facility matures on November 19, 2026. Outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility are repayable in equal quarterly installments of the following amounts per annum of the percentage of the original principal amount of the Term Loan Facility, with the remainder of the outstanding principal to be repaid at maturity:

 

Year    Percentage  

1

     2.5

2

     2.5

3

     5.0

4

     5.0

5

     7.5

The Term Loan Facility requires the Company to prepay any outstanding amounts in connection with (i) the incurrence of certain indebtedness and (ii) non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions (including as a result of casualty or condemnation) that exceed certain thresholds in any period of twelve-consecutive months, with customary reinvestment provisions.

At the Company’s option, borrowings in U.S. dollars may be maintained from time to time as (i) “ABR” loans, which bear interest at the highest of (a) the rate last quoted by The Wall Street Journal in the U.S. as the prime rate in effect, (b) 1/2 of 1% in excess of the federal funds rate and (c) the “Adjusted LIBO Rate” (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility and adjusted for maximum reserves) for LIBO-based loans with a one-month interest period plus 1.0%, in effect from time to time, in each case plus the applicable margin, or (ii) “Term Benchmark Loans,” which bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate, as determined by reference to the London interbank offered rate appearing on page LIBOR01 or LIBOR02 of the Reuters screen for the respective interest period or other commercially available source designated by the Administrative Agent, in each case plus the applicable margin.

Borrowings in Euros bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the “Adjusted EURIBOR Rate” (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility and adjusted for maximum reserves), as determined by reference to the euro interbank offered rate appearing on page EURIBOR01 of the Reuters screen for the respective interest period or other commercially available source designated by the Administrative Agent, in each case plus the applicable margin.

Borrowings in Australian Dollars bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the “Adjusted AUD Rate” (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility and adjusted for maximum reserves), as determined by reference to the average bid reference rate for Australian dollar bills of exchange with a tenor equal in length to the respective interest period as displayed on page BBSY of Reuters Screen or other commercially available source designated by the Administrative Agent, in each case plus the applicable margin.

The applicable margin for all borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility is based on the Company’s leverage ratio. When the leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 4.50 to 1.00, the applicable margin for LIBO Rate loans is 1.75% and the applicable margin for ABR loans is 0.75%. When the leverage ratio is less than 4.50 to 1.00 but greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00, the applicable margin for LIBO Rate loans is 1.50% and the applicable margin for ABR loans is 0.50%. When the leverage ratio is less than 3.00 to 1.00 but greater than or equal to 2.25 to 1.00, the applicable margin for LIBO Rate loans is 1.25% and the applicable margin for ABR loans is 0.25%. When the leverage ratio is less than 2.25 to 1.00, the applicable margin for LIBO Rate loans is 1.00% and the applicable margin for ABR loans is 0.00%.


The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires that the Company maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum total debt to EBITDA (earnings before income taxes, depreciation expense and amortization), or leverage ratio. The interest coverage ratio covenant requires that the ratio of the Company’s EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement, for the preceding four fiscal quarters to its consolidated total interest expense for such period shall not be less than 3.00 to 1.00 for any fiscal quarter. The leverage ratio covenant requires that the ratio of the Company’s total debt, net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents with certain exclusions per the Credit Agreement, to its EBITDA for the preceding four fiscal quarters will not be more than 4.50 to 1.00; provided that, following a permitted acquisition in which the consideration is at least $250 million, such maximum leverage ratio covenant shall be increased to 5.00:1.00 for each fiscal quarter ending in the succeeding 12-month period following such permitted acquisition. The method of calculating all of the components used in the covenants is included in the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including nonpayment of principal when due; nonpayment of interest after stated grace period, fees or other amounts after stated grace period; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violations of covenants; certain bankruptcies and liquidations; any cross-default to material indebtedness; certain material judgments; certain events related to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or “ERISA,” actual or asserted invalidity of any guarantee, security document or subordination provision or non-perfection of security interest, and a change in control (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility).

The foregoing description of the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement is only a summary, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference.

From time to time, the financial institutions party to the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement or their affiliates have performed, and may in the future perform, various commercial banking, investment banking and other financial advisory services for the Company and its affiliates for which they have received, and will receive, customary fees and expenses. For example, some Lenders and/or their affiliates are parties to our accounts receivable securitization facility.

1.3         Pro Forma Calculations. (i) Any calculation to be determined on a “pro forma” basis, after giving “pro forma” effect to certain transactions or pursuant to words of similar import and (ii) the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Net Interest Coverage Ratio, in each case, shall be calculated as follows:

(a)         for purposes of making the computation referred to above, in the event that the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs, assumes, guarantees, redeems, retires or extinguishes any Indebtedness subsequent to the commencement of the period for which such ratio is being calculated but on or prior to or substantially concurrently with the event for which the calculation is made (a “Calculation Date”), then except as otherwise set forth in clauses (c) and (d) below, such calculation shall be made giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, redemption, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period; provided that for purposes of making the computation of Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage or Consolidated Net Total Leverage for the computation of Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio or Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio, as applicable, Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage or Consolidated Net Total Leverage, as applicable, shall be Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage or Consolidated Net Total Leverage as of the date the relevant action is being taken giving pro forma effect to any redemption, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness in connection with such event;

(b)         for purposes of making the computation referred to above, if any Investments, Dispositions or designations of Unrestricted Subsidiaries or Restricted Subsidiaries are made (or committed to be made pursuant to a definitive agreement) subsequent to the commencement of the period for which such calculation is being made but on or prior to or simultaneously with the relevant Calculation Date, then such calculation shall be made giving pro forma effect to such Investments, Dispositions and designations as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such period shall have made any Investment or Disposition that would have required adjustment pursuant to this provision, then such calculation shall be made giving pro forma effect thereto for such Test Period as if such Investment or Disposition had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period;

(c)         [reserved];

(d)         for purposes of calculating the amount of Liens permitted to be incurred pursuant to either (i) (solely with respect to Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 2.25(a) in reliance on the definition of “Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount”) Section 7.3(a) or (ii) (solely with respect to Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 7.2(u) in reliance on the definition of “Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount”) Section 7.3(aa), any pro forma calculation of the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio shall not give effect to any other incurrence of Liens on the date of determination pursuant to any other clause or sub-clause of Section 7.3;

(e)         for purposes of (i) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires pro forma compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 7.4 or pro forma calculation of the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Net Interest Coverage Ratio, (ii) determining the accuracy of representation and warranties in all material respects, (iii) determining whether a Default or an Event of Default (other than a Specified Event of Default) exists or (iv) testing baskets set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA), in each case, solely for purposes of determining whether the incurrence of Indebtedness (other than the incurrence of any Loan or Letter of Credit under the

 

61


Revolving Facility but including the incurrence of Loans under a Revolving Commitment Increase) or Liens, or the making of Investments, Restricted Payments, fundamental changes under Section 7.8 or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, in each case necessary or advisable (as determined by the Parent Borrower in good faith) for the consummation of a Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not for purposes of determining quarterly compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 7.4), the date of determination shall, at the option of the Parent Borrower, be the time the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (or, if applicable, (i) the date of delivery of an irrevocable notice or declaration of such Limited Condition Acquisition or (ii) at the time of the completion of such transaction or the making of such repurchase or repayment) after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period, and, for the avoidance of doubt, if any of such baskets or ratios are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Parent Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Acquisition, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the relevant transaction or action is permitted to be consummated or taken; provided that if the Parent Borrower has made such an election, in connection with the calculation of any basket or ratio availability with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Investments, Restricted Payments, Dispositions, fundamental changes under Section 7.8 or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary (excluding the financial covenant set forth in Section 7.4) on or following the date of such election and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition (or, if applicable, the notice or declaration of such Limited Condition Acquisition) is terminated, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisitions and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated, except to the extent that such calculation would result in a lower Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio or Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio or a higher Consolidated Net Interest Coverage Ratio or larger basket, as applicable, than would apply if such calculation was made without giving pro forma effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, when calculating the Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Net Interest Coverage Ratio, as applicable, for purposes of (i) determining the Applicable Margin, (ii) determining the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and (iii) determining actual compliance (and not pro forma compliance or compliance on a pro forma basis) with the covenants pursuant to Section 7.4, any pro forma event of the type set forth in clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 1.3 that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect; and

(f)         if the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs Indebtedness under a ratio-based basket or exception, such ratio-based basket or exception (together with any other ratio-based basket or exception utilized in connection therewith, including in respect of other Indebtedness, Liens, asset sales, Investments, Restricted Payments or prepayments of subordinated Indebtedness) will be calculated excluding the cash proceeds of such Indebtedness for netting purposes (i.e., such cash proceeds shall not reduce the Parent Borrower’s Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio or Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of each such term), provided that the actual application of such proceeds may reduce Indebtedness for purposes of determining compliance with any applicable ratio.

1.4        Additional Alternative Currencies. (a) The Borrowers may from time to time request that Term Benchmark Loans be made under the Revolving Facility and/or Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency;” provided that such

 

62


requested currency is a lawful currency (other than US Dollars) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars. In the case of any such request with respect to the making of Term Benchmark Loans under the Revolving Facility, such request shall be subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders; which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed but shall be subject to each Revolving Lender’s then-existing capability to offer such currency generally to its corporate borrowers, and in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Revolving Lenders.

(b)         Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., fourteen Business Days prior to the date of the desired borrowing of Revolving Loans or issuance of a Letter of Credit (as described in the foregoing clause (a)) (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Issuing Lender, in its or their sole discretion). In the case of any such request pertaining to such Term Benchmark Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof; and in the case of any such request pertaining to such Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Issuing Lender thereof. Each Revolving Lender (in the case of any such request pertaining to Term Benchmark Loans) or the Issuing Lender (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of Credit) shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., ten Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents to the making of Term Benchmark Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency.

(c)         Any failure by a Revolving Lender or an Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified in the last sentence of Section 1.4(b) shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Revolving Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to permit Term Benchmark Loans to be made or Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and all the Revolving Lenders consent to making Term Benchmark Loans in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Parent Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any borrowings of Term Benchmark Loans; and if the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Parent Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances by the Issuing Lender. If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.4, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Parent Borrower. Any specified currency of an Existing Letter of Credit that is neither US Dollars nor one of the Alternative Currencies specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency” shall be deemed an Alternative Currency with respect to such Existing Letter of Credit only.

1.5          Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents. (a) The Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Lender, as applicable, shall determine the Dollar Equivalent amounts of Borrowings or Letter of Credit extensions denominated in Alternative Currencies. Such Dollar Equivalent shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such amounts until the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by the Parent Borrower hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any Alternative Currency for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent amount as so determined by the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Lender, as applicable.

(b)         Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a borrowing of Revolving Loans, conversion, continuation or prepayment of a Term Benchmark Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed

 

63


in US Dollars, but such Revolving Loan, Term Benchmark Loan or Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Alternative Currency Equivalent of such US Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by the Administrative Agent or the relevant Issuing Lender, as the case may be.

1.6         Accounting Terms and Determination. Unless otherwise defined or specified herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted, all accounting determinations hereunder shall be made, and all financial statements required to be delivered hereunder shall be prepared, in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time, applied on a basis consistent with the most recent audited consolidated financial statement of the Parent Borrower delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(a); provided that if the Parent Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Parent Borrower wishes to amend any covenant in Section 7 to eliminate the effect of any change in GAAP on the operation of such covenant (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent Borrower that the Required Lenders wish to amend Section 7 for such purpose), then the Parent Borrower’s compliance with such covenant shall be determined on the basis of GAAP in effect immediately before the relevant change in GAAP became effective, until either such notice is withdrawn or such covenant is amended in a manner satisfactory to the Parent Borrower and the Required Lenders. All calculations of (a) the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage or the Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio, (b) the Consolidated Net Interest Coverage Ratio, (c) Consolidated EBITDA, (d) Consolidated Net Interest Expense and (e) each financial calculation included within or required to be made in connection with any such terms shall be made on a pro forma basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant (including the computation of any financial covenant) contained herein, Indebtedness of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be carried at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, and the effects of FASB ASC 825 and FASB ASC 470-20 on financial liabilities shall be disregarded.

1.7         Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of the Application or any other document, agreement or instrument entered into by the applicable Issuing Lender and the applicable Borrower with respect thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

1.8         Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on a Loan denominated in US Dollars or an Alternative Currency may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are calculated may change. The London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that: (a) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of all seven euro LIBOR settings, all seven Swiss Franc LIBOR settings, the spot next, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month Japanese Yen LIBOR settings, the overnight, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings, and the 1- week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after December 31, 2021, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month Japanese Yen LIBOR settings and the 1- month, 3-month and 6-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to consultation by the FCA, be provided on a changed methodology (or “synthetic”) basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored; and immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-

 

64


month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. Each party to this agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, Section 2.17(b) and (c) provide a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Parent Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.17(e), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Term Benchmark Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to LIBOR or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” (or “EURIBOR Rate” or “AUD Rate” as applicable) or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.17(b) or (c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.17(d)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate (or the EURIBOR Rate or AUD Rate as applicable) or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate (or the euro interbank offered rate or the Tokyo interbank offered rate, as applicable) prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any Term Benchmark Rate, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrowers, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

1.9         Application of Multiple Relevant Provisions. With respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of the Loan Documents under a specific covenant that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including a test based on the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and/or the Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with or otherwise in the same transaction or series of related transactions with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of the Loan Documents under the same covenant that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (including the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and/or the Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio) (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that (a) the Fixed Amounts shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts in connection with such substantially concurrent incurrence within the same covenant (it being understood that any Fixed Amount available under any covenant that is reallocated or otherwise utilized under a different covenant shall, for the avoidance of doubt, also constitute a Fixed Amount under such different covenant to which the Fixed Amount was reallocated to or utilized under), and (b) except as provided in clause (a), pro forma effect shall be given to the entire transaction. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, any Indebtedness (and associated Liens, subject to the applicable priorities required pursuant to the applicable Incurrence-Based Amounts), Investments, Restricted Payments, liquidations, dissolutions, mergers, consolidations (or, in each case, any portion thereof) incurred or otherwise effected in reliance on Fixed Amounts shall be automatically and immediately reclassified at

 

65


any time, unless the Parent Borrower otherwise elects from time to time, as incurred under the applicable Incurrence-Based Amounts if the Parent Borrower subsequently meets the applicable ratio for such Incurrence-Based Amounts on a pro forma basis (or would have met such ratio or test at the time such Fixed Amount was utilized).

1.10         Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Capital Stock at such time.

SECTION 2.       AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS

2.1         Term Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Term Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (an “Initial Term Loan”) in US Dollars to the Parent Borrower on the Closing Date (either by deeming New Term Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) to be outstanding hereunder as Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.2 below or by the making of new Initial Term Loans hereunder) in an amount which will not exceed the amount of the Term Commitment of such Lender. The aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be the stated principal amount thereof outstanding from time to time. The Term Loans may from time to time be Term Benchmark Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Parent Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.13.

2.2         Procedure for Initial Term Loan Borrowing. The Parent Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent one Business Day prior to the anticipated Closing Date) requesting that the Term Lenders make the Initial Term Loans on the Closing Date and specifying the amount to be borrowed and the requested Interest Period, if applicable. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Term Lender thereof. Not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Closing Date each Term Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Initial Term Loan or Initial Term Loans to be made by such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall credit the account designated in writing by the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Term Lenders in immediately available funds. On the Closing Date, any New Term A Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) of Term Lenders that are outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed drawn as Initial Term Loans hereunder.

2.3         Repayment of Term Loans. The Initial Term Loan of each Term Lender shall be payable in equal consecutive quarterly installments on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December following the Closing Date, commencing on the last Business Day of March, 2022, in an amount equal to the Applicable Amortization Percentage of the stated principal amount of the Initial Term Loans funded on the Closing Date (which installments shall, to the extent applicable, be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.18(b), and/or be increased as a result of any increase in the amount of Initial Term Loans pursuant to Supplemental Term Loan Commitments (such increased amortization payments to be calculated in the same manner (and on the same basis) as the amortization payments for the Initial Term Loans outstanding as of the Closing Date)), with the remaining balance thereof payable on the Term Maturity Date.

2.4         Revolving Commitments, Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments and Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments.

 

66


(a)         Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (“Revolving Loans”) in US Dollars to the Parent Borrower, in Euros to the Lux Borrower or in one or more Alternative Currencies to the Revolving Borrowers from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which when added to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the L/C Obligations then outstanding and such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the Swing Line Loans then outstanding does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. On each date that a Revolving Loan is made, the Parent Borrower shall first repay all of its Swing Line Loans then outstanding with the proceeds of any such Borrowing. During the Revolving Commitment Period, the Revolving Borrowers may use the Revolving Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Subject to Section 2.17, each Revolving Borrowing shall be comprised (a) in the case of Borrowings in US Dollars, entirely of ABR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans as determined by the Parent Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.5 and 2.13 and (b) in the case of Borrowings in any other Alternative Currency, entirely of Term Benchmark Loans, in each case of the same Alternative Currency, as the applicable Revolving Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Swing Line Loan shall be an ABR Loan. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Parent Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, on the Closing Date, the Revolving Loan Commitments (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall be terminated and replaced by the Revolving Commitments hereunder and any Revolving Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) drawn under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed drawn as Revolving Loans hereunder.

The Borrowers may borrow under the Revolving Commitments, Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments or Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments, as applicable, during the Revolving Commitment Period on any Business Day; provided that the applicable Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of the Australian Tranche Revolving Facility, the Primary Australian Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent) irrevocable written notice pursuant to a Borrowing Notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent (or Primary Australian Lender, as applicable)) (i) in the case of Term Benchmark Loans denominated in US Dollars, prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, (ii) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Euros, not later than 12:00 p.m., London time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, (iii) in the case of ABR Loans, prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date, (iv) in the case of Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Australian Dollars, prior to 12:00 Noon, Sydney time, four Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date and (v) in the case of Term Benchmark Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Euros or Australian Dollars), prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, four Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date specifying (x) the Facility, amount, currency and Type of Loans to be borrowed, (y) the requested Borrowing Date and (z) in the case of Term Benchmark Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Period therefor. Each borrowing by the Borrowers under the Revolving Commitments, Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments or Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of ABR Loans, $50,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then-aggregate Available Revolving Commitments are less than $50,000, such lesser amount) and (y) in the case of Term Benchmark Loans, $100,000 (or the Alternative Currency Equivalent thereof, as applicable) or a whole multiple of $100,000 (or the Alternative Currency Equivalent thereof, as applicable) in excess thereof. Upon receipt of any such notice from the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent (or Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender, Euro Lender or Australian Lender, as applicable thereof. Each applicable Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Borrower at the Funding Office by 12:00 noon, New York City time (or (i) with respect to the Australian Tranche Revolving Facility, Sydney time and (ii) with respect to the Euro Tranche Revolving Facility, London time), to the account of the Administrative Agent (or Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swing Line Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.6. Such borrowing will then be made available to the applicable Borrower by the Administrative Agent (or Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) crediting the account designated in writing by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent (or Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent (or Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) by such Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent (or Primary Australian Lender, as

 

68


applicable). If no election as to the Type of a Loan denominated in US Dollars is specified, then the requested Loan shall be an ABR Loan. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Term Benchmark Loan, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. If the applicable Revolving Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Borrowing Notice with respect to a Term Benchmark Loan, then the Term Benchmark Loan so requested shall be made in US Dollars.

2.6         Swing Line Loans.

(a)         Swing Line Facility. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.6, agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Parent Borrower in US Dollars from time to time on any Business Day (other than the Closing Date) until and excluding the Business Day preceding the Revolving Termination Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans held by the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender then outstanding and such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the L/C Obligations then outstanding, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the aggregate amount of Available Revolving Commitments shall not less than zero, (ii) the Available Revolving Commitment of any Revolving Lender shall not be less than zero; and provided, further, that the Parent Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan and (iii) so long as there is a Defaulting Lender, the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans where the sum of the Non- Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Percentage, as applicable, of the outstanding Revolving Loans, their participations in Swing Line Loans and their participations in Letters of Credit after giving effect to any such requested Swing Line Loan would exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Non- Defaulting Lenders. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Parent Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.6, prepay under Section 2.11, and reborrow under this Section 2.6. Each Swing Line Loan shall be an ABR Loan and may not be converted to a Term Benchmark Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b)         Borrowing Procedures. Each Borrowing of Swing Line Loans shall be made upon the Parent Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon New York City time on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum principal amount of $50,000, (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day and (iii) the account of the Parent Borrower to be credited with the proceeds of such Borrowing. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. New York City time on the date of the proposed Swing Line Loan (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.6(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.2 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the

 

69


Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Parent Borrower.

(c)         Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

(i)   The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Parent Borrower (and the Parent Borrower hereby irrevocably requests and authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender make an ABR Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Borrowing Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.5, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of ABR Loans, but subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (other than the delivery of a Borrowing Notice) and subject to the unutilized portion of the aggregate Revolving Commitments. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Parent Borrower with a copy of the applicable Borrowing Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Revolving Percentage of the amount specified in such Borrowing Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply cash collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s office (and in any event, if such Borrowing Notice is received by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a Business Day no later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on such Business Day and if received after 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a Business Day shall mean no later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the immediately succeeding Business Day), whereupon, subject to Section 2.6(c)(ii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an ABR Loan to the Parent Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii)   If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a borrowing of Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.6(c)(i) (including as a result of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), the request for ABR Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, and each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.6(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation; provided, that (i) all interest payable on the Swing Line Loans is for the account of Swing Line Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is purchased and (ii) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Revolving Lender shall pay the Swing Line Lender interest on the principal amount of such participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the borrowing of the Swing Line Loan occurs under this Agreement to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the applicable rate received by the Swing Line Lender.

(iii)   If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6(c) by the time specified in Section 2.6(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from

 

70


such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv)   Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.6(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.6(c) (but not to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.2. No such purchase or funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Parent Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d)         Repayment of Participations.

(i)   At any time after any Revolving Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Revolving Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii)   If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.21 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Revolving Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e)         Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Parent Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.6 to

 

71


refinance such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Revolving Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

(f)         Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Parent Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

2.7         Defaulting Lenders.

(a)         Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective 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 at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the Revolving Facility (without giving effect to Section 3.4(d)), 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 on behalf of the Borrowers while that 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 that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(b)         Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest or other amounts (other than the payment of (i) commitment fees under Section 2.9, (ii) default interest under Section 2.15(d) and (iii) Letter of Credit fees under Section 3.3 received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise) shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender (without duplication of the application of any cash collateral provided by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 3.4(d)) to the Swing Line Lender or any Issuing Lender hereunder; third, to be held as security for any L/C Shortfall (without duplication of any cash collateral provided by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 3.4(d)) in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent; fourth, as the Parent Borrower may request (so long as no 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; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Lenders as a result of any final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans, Swing Line Loans or L/C Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans or Swing Line Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, L/C Disbursements owed to such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and

 

72


unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Section 3.4(d). 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 or to be held as security in a cash collateral account pursuant to this Section 2.7(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender and shall satisfy the Borrowers’ payment obligation in respect thereof in full, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

2.8         Repayment of Loans.

(a)         The Borrowers hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent (or Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) for the account of the Swing Line Lender, the appropriate Revolving Lender, Term Lender, Australian Lender or Euro Lender, as the case may be, (i) the then-unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Revolving Lender made to the Revolving Borrowers outstanding on the Revolving Termination Date (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8.1), (ii) the principal amount of each outstanding Term Loan of such Term Lender made to the Parent Borrower in installments according to the applicable amortization schedule set forth in Section 2.3 (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8.1), (iii) the then-unpaid principal amount of each Australian Tranche Revolving Loan of such Australian Lender made to the Australian Borrower or Parent Borrower outstanding on the Revolving Termination Date (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8.1), (iv) the then-unpaid principal amount of each Euro Tranche Revolving Loan of such Euro Lender made to the Euro Borrower or Parent Borrower outstanding on the Revolving Termination Date (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8.1) and (v) the then-unpaid principal amount of each Swing Line Loan of the Swing Line Lender made to the Parent Borrower outstanding on the earlier of (x) Revolving Termination Date and (y) a date that is no more than seven Business Days after such Swing Line Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Parent Borrower shall repay all Swing Line Loans then outstanding (or, in the case of each of clauses (x) and (y), on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8.1). The Borrowers hereby further agree to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans made to the Borrowers from time to time outstanding from the date made until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.15.

73


repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrowers by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.9         Commitment Fees, etc.

(a)         The Revolving Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee, in US Dollars, for the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the last day of the Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the actual daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment (but excluding from such calculation any Swing Line Loans) of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date; provided that (i) any commitment fee accrued with respect to any of the Revolving Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Revolving Borrowers so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such commitment fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Revolving Borrowers prior to such time and (ii) no commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Revolving Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.

Any such partial reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments then in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Revolving Borrowers may rescind any notice of termination under this Section 2.10 if the notice of such termination stated that such notice was conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of a transaction or the receipt of a replacement of all, or a portion, of the Revolving Commitments outstanding at such time, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Revolving Borrowers (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any such reduction in the Revolving Commitments below the sum of the principal amount of the Swing Line Sublimit shall result in a proportionate reduction (rounded to the next lowest integral multiple of $100,000) in the Swing Line Sublimit.

(b)         Upon the incurrence by the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Permitted Refinancing Obligations in respect of Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans, the Revolving Commitments designated by the Revolving Borrowers to be terminated in connection therewith shall be automatically permanently reduced by an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of commitments under such Permitted Refinancing Obligations and any outstanding Revolving Loans in respect of such terminated Revolving Commitments shall be repaid in full.

(c)         The Australian Borrower and Parent Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than two Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, from time to time, to terminate the Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Australian Tranche Revolving Loans made on the effective date thereof, the total Australian Tranche Revolving Loans outstanding would exceed the total Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments. Any such partial reduction shall be in an amount equal to the Australian Dollar equivalent of $1,000,000, or a whole multiple of the Australian Dollar equivalent of $500,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments then in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Australian Borrower and Parent Borrower may rescind any notice of termination under this Section 2.10 if the notice of such termination stated that such notice was conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of a transaction or the receipt of a replacement of all, or a portion, of the Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments outstanding at such time, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Australian Borrower and Parent Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(d)         Upon the incurrence by the Australian Borrower and Parent Borrower or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries of any Permitted Refinancing Obligations in respect of Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments or Australian Tranche Revolving Loans, the Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments designated by the Australian Borrower and Parent Borrower to be terminated in connection therewith shall be automatically permanently reduced by an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of commitments under such Permitted Refinancing Obligations and any outstanding Australian Tranche Revolving Loans in respect of such terminated Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments shall be repaid in full.

 

75


(e)         The Euro Borrower and Parent Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than two Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, from time to time, to terminate the Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Euro Tranche Revolving Loans made on the effective date thereof, the total Euro Tranche Revolving Loans outstanding would exceed the total Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments. Any such partial reduction shall be in an amount equal to the Euro equivalent of $1,000,000, or a whole multiple of the Euro equivalent of $500,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments then in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Euro Borrower and Parent Borrower may rescind any notice of termination under this Section 2.10 if the notice of such termination stated that such notice was conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of a transaction or the receipt of a replacement of all, or a portion, of the Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments outstanding at such time, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Euro Borrower and Parent Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(f)         Upon the incurrence by the Euro Borrower and Parent Borrower or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries of any Permitted Refinancing Obligations in respect of Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments or Euro Tranche Revolving Loans, the Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments designated by the Euro Borrower and Parent Borrower to be terminated in connection therewith shall be automatically permanently reduced by an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of commitments under such Permitted Refinancing Obligations and any outstanding Euro Tranche Revolving Loans in respect of such terminated Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments shall be repaid in full.

2.11        Optional Prepayments.

 (a)         The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time prepay the Revolving Loans, Australian Tranche Revolving Loans, Euro Tranche Revolving Loans or any Tranche of Term Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of the Australian Tranche Revolving Facility, with a copy to the Primary Australian Lender) no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time (or Sydney or London time, as applicable), (i) three Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Term Benchmark Loans or (ii) one Business Day prior thereto, in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify (x) the date and amount of prepayment, (y) whether the prepayment is of Revolving Loans, Australian Tranche Revolving Loans, Euro Tranche Revolving Loans or a Tranche of Term Loans and (z) whether the prepayment is of Term Benchmark Loans or ABR Loans; provided that if a Term Benchmark Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.21. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein (provided that any such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any transaction or the receipt of proceeds to be used for such payment, in each case specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked by the applicable Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent (and Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied), together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Term Loans, Australian Tranche Revolving Loans, Euro Tranche Revolving Loans and of Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of (i) $50,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof (in the case of prepayments of ABR Loans) or (ii) $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (in the case of prepayments of Term Benchmark Loans) (or the Alternative Currency equivalents thereof), and in each case shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.18.

 

76


(b)         The Parent Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $50,000 (or, if less, the entire principal thereof then outstanding). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Parent Borrower, the Parent Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(c)         In connection with any optional prepayments by the Parent Borrower of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11, such prepayments shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the then-outstanding Term Loans being prepaid irrespective of whether such outstanding Term Loans are ABR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans.

2.12         Mandatory Prepayments.

(a)         Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, if any Indebtedness (excluding any Indebtedness incurred in accordance with Section 7.2, other than Permitted Refinancing Obligations in respect of Term Loans) shall be incurred by the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied not later than one Business Day after the date of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.12(d).

(b)         Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, if on any date the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall for its own account receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent in respect thereof, an amount equal to the Applicable Asset Sale Prepayment Percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied not later than 10 Business Days after such date toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.12(d); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, the Term Loans shall be prepaid as set forth in Section 2.12(d) by an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event and (ii) on the date (the “Trigger Date”) that is six months after any such Reinvestment Prepayment Date, the Term Loans shall be prepaid as set forth in Section 2.12(d) by an amount equal to the Applicable Asset Sale Prepayment Percentage of the portion of any Committed Reinvestment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event not actually expended by such Trigger Date.

(c)         [Reserved].

(d)         Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.18(b) until paid in full. In connection with any mandatory prepayments by the Parent Borrower of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12, such prepayments shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the then-outstanding Term Loans being prepaid irrespective of whether such outstanding Term Loans are ABR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans and with respect to prepayments pursuant to Section 2.12(b) such Net Cash Proceeds may be applied, along with such prepayment of Term Loans (to the extent the Parent Borrower elects, or is required by the terms thereof), to purchase, redeem or repay any Pari Passu Debt, pursuant to the agreements governing such other Indebtedness, on not more than a pro rata basis with respect to such prepayments of Term Loans; provided that if no Lender exercises the right to waive a given mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.12(e), then, with respect to such mandatory prepayment, the amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be applied first to Term Loans that are ABR Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Term Loans that are Term Benchmark Loans in a manner that minimizes the

 

77


amount of any payments required to be made by the Parent Borrower pursuant to Section 2.21. Each prepayment of the Term Loans under this Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.

(e)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender holding a Term Loan may elect, by written notice to the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day (or such shorter period as may be established by the Administrative Agent) prior to the required prepayment date, to decline all or any portion of any prepayment of its Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.12(b) or (c), in which case the aggregate amount of the payment that would have been applied to prepay Loans but was so declined may be retained by the Parent Borrower and shall constitute “Declined Proceeds”.

(f)         If, on any date, the aggregate Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments (including as a result of any revaluation of the Dollar Equivalent of the L/C Obligations on any Revaluation Date in accordance with Section 1.4), the applicable Borrower shall promptly prepay Revolving Loans, Australian Tranche Revolving Loans, Euro Tranche Revolving Loans and/or Swing Line Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess and/or pay to the Administrative Agent an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the aggregate principal amount equal to such excess to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrowers to the Issuing Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent.

(g)         If, on any date, the aggregate Australian Tranche Revolving Loans would exceed the aggregate Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments, the Australian Borrower and Parent Borrower shall promptly prepay Australian Tranche Revolving Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess.

(h)         If, on any date, the aggregate Euro Tranche Revolving Loans would exceed the aggregate Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments, the Euro Borrower and Parent Borrower shall promptly prepay Euro Tranche Revolving Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess.

(i)         Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.12, to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Asset Sale”) or the Net Cash Proceeds of any Recovery Event from a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Recovery Event”), in each case giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant Section 2.12(b), are or is prohibited, restricted or delayed by applicable local law or the Organic Documents of a Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower (provided that such prohibition or restriction in such organization document was not implemented for the purpose of avoiding a prepayment event) from being repatriated to the United States, (A) the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.12 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law or organization document will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Parent Borrower hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law or organization document, such repatriation will be immediately effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than five Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12 to the extent provided herein and (B) to the extent that the Parent Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Asset Sale or any Foreign Recovery Event would have a material adverse tax consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds, the Net Cash Proceeds so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary.

 

78


.2.13         Conversion and Continuation Options.

(a)         The Parent Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Term Benchmark Loans made to the Parent Borrower and denominated in US Dollars to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable written notice of such election no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date; provided that if any Term Benchmark Loan is so converted on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Parent Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.21. The Parent Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans made to the Parent Borrower to Term Benchmark Loans denominated in US Dollars by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable written notice of such election no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor); provided that no ABR Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Term Benchmark Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b)         Any Term Benchmark Loan may be continued as such by the applicable Borrower giving irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of the Australian Tranche Revolving Facility, the Primary Australian Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent), in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1 and no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed continuation date, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans; provided that if any Term Benchmark Loan is so continued on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.21; provided, further, that no Term Benchmark Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations and unless repaid, (i) each Term Benchmark Revolving Borrowing denominated in US Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (ii) each Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency shall bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency plus the Applicable Margin; provided that, if the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of the Australian Tranche Revolving Facility, the Primary Australian Lender in consultation with the Administrative Agent) determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency other than Dollars shall either be (A) converted to an ABR Borrowing denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) at the end of the Interest Period, as applicable, therefor or (B) prepaid at the end of the applicable Interest Period, as applicable, in full; provided that if no election is made by the applicable Borrower by the earlier of (x) the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the applicable Borrower of such notice and (y) the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Term Benchmark Loan, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (A) above; provided further that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Required Revolving Lenders may demand that any or all of the then-outstanding Term Benchmark Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency be redenominated into US Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period with respect thereto. If the applicable Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph such Term Benchmark Loans shall be automatically continued as Term Benchmark Loans in their original currency having an Interest Period of one month’s duration on the last day of such then-expiring Interest Period and if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Term Benchmark Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of

 

79


such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent (or, the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

2.14         Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Term Benchmark Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of Term Benchmark Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Term Benchmark Loans comprising each Term Benchmark Tranche shall be equal to a minimum of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 (or Alternative Currency equivalent thereof) in excess thereof and (b) no more than 12 Term Benchmark Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

2.15         Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

(a)         Each Term Benchmark Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate, Adjusted EURIBOR Rate or AUD Rate, as applicable, determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

(b)         Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

(c)         Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to ABR plus the Applicable Margin for ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility.

(d)         (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.15 plus 2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2% (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such nonpayment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment); provided that no amount shall be payable pursuant to this Section 2.15(e) to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender; provided further no amounts shall accrue pursuant to this Section 2.15(d) on any overdue Loan, Reimbursement Obligation, commitment fee or other amount payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.

(e)         Interest shall be payable by the Borrowers in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 2.15 shall be payable from time to time on demand.

(f)         Notwithstanding any other provision set out in any Loan Document, the amount of interest on overdue amounts payable by the Euro Borrower or any other Obligor incorporated in Italy under this agreement shall not be compounded unless in accordance with, and to the extent permitted by, article 1283 of the Italian Civil Code, article 120 of the Italian Banking Law and any relevant implementing regulation, each as amended, supplemented or implemented from time to time.

2.16         Computation of Interest and Fees; Proceeds of Collateral.

 

80


(a)         Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360- day year for the actual days elapsed, except that interest on ABR Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed, or, in the case of interest in respect of Australian Tranche Revolving Loans a 365- day year, or, in the case of interest in respect of Euro Tranche Revolving Loans or Revolving Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. The Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) shall as soon as practicable notify the relevant Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a LIBO Rate, EURIBOR Rate and/or AUD Rate, as applicable. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Statutory Reserve Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) shall as soon as practicable notify the relevant Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b)         Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be presumptively correct in the absence of demonstrable error. The Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) shall, at the request of the relevant Borrower, deliver to the relevant Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.15(a), Section 2.15(b), Section 2.15(c) or Section 2.15(d).

(c)         All amounts received as a result of the exercise of remedies under the Loan Documents (including from the proceeds of collateral securing the Obligations) shall be applied upon receipt to the Obligations as follows: (i) first, to the payment of all Obligations owing to the Agents, in their capacity as Agents (including the fees and expenses of counsel to the Agents), (ii) second, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clause (c)(i), to the ratable payment of all interest (including interest accruing after the commencement of a proceeding in bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, whether or not permitted as a claim under such law) and fees owing under the Loan Documents (including all amounts owing under Section 2.9(d)), and all costs and expenses owing to the Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, until paid in full in cash, (iii) third, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (c)(i) and (c)(ii), to the ratable payment of the principal amount of the Loans then outstanding, the aggregate Reimbursement Obligations then owing, the cash collateralization for contingent liabilities under Letters of Credit, amounts owing to Secured Parties under Specified Hedge Agreements and the aggregate amount of Cash Management Obligations then owing, (iv) fourth, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (c)(i) through (c)(iii), to the ratable payment of all other Obligations (including Foreign Working Capital Obligations) owing to the Secured Parties, and (v) fifth, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (c)(i) through (c)(iv), and following the Latest Maturity Date, to each applicable Obligor or any other Person lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amounts received from any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor. For purposes of clause (c)(iii), the “amounts owing” at any time to any Secured Party with respect to a Specified Hedge Agreement to which such Secured Party is a party shall be determined at such time by the terms of such Specified Hedge Agreement or, if not set forth therein, in accordance with the customary methods of calculating credit exposure under similar arrangements by the counterparty to such arrangements, taking into account potential interest rate (or, if applicable, currency or commodities) movements and the respective termination provisions and notional principal amount and term of such Specified Hedge Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this agreement or any other Loan Document shall prevent or restrict any party to any Australian Facility Agreements from exercising rights of setoff under any Australian Facility Agreements.

 

81


2.17        Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 2.17:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate, the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate, the EURIBOR Rate or the AUD Rate, as applicable (including because the Relevant Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for the applicable currency and such Interest Period; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the LIBO Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate, the EURIBOR Rate or the AUD Rate for the applicable currency and such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender (or Lenders) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for the applicably currency and such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Parent Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any notice of an interest rate election that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing shall be ineffective, (B) if any Borrowing Notice requests a Term Benchmark Revolving Borrowing in US Dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and (C) if any Borrowing Notice requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing for the relevant rate above in an Alternative Currency, then such request shall be ineffective; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of borrowings, then all other Types of Borrowings shall be permitted. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan in any Alternative Currency is outstanding on the date of the Parent Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.17(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, then until the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) if such Term Benchmark Loan is denominated in US Dollars, then on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Loan shall be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan denominated in US Dollars on such day or (ii) if such Term Benchmark Loan is denominated in any Alternative Currency, then such Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day) bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency plus the Applicable Margin; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency shall, at the Parent Borrower’s election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by the applicable Borrower on such day or (B) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, such Term Benchmark Loan denominated in any Alternative Currency shall be deemed to be a Term Benchmark Loan denominated in US Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Term Benchmark Loans denominated in US Dollars at such time.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Hedge Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.17), if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the

 

82


definition of “Benchmark Replacement” with respect to US Dollars for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of each affected Facility.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, with respect to a Loan denominated in US Dollars, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, this clause (c) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Parent Borrower a Term SOFR Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after the occurrence of a Term SOFR Transition Event and may do so in its sole discretion.

(d) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(e) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.17, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.17.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR, LIBO Rate, EURIBOR Rate or AUD Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer

 

83


representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(g) Upon the Parent Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the applicable Borrower may revoke any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, either (x) the applicable Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in US Dollars into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans or (y) any Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be ineffective. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan in any Alternative Currency is outstanding on the date of the Parent Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement for such Alternative Currency is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.17, (i) if such Term Benchmark Loan is denominated in US Dollars, then on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Loan shall be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan denominated in US Dollars on such day or (ii) if such Term Benchmark Loan is denominated in any Alternative Currency, then such Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day) bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency plus the Applicable Margin; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency shall, at the Parent Borrower’s election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by the applicable Borrower on such day or (B) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, such Term Benchmark Loan denominated in any Alternative Currency shall be deemed to be a Term Benchmark Loan denominated in US Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Term Benchmark Loans denominated in US Dollars at such time.

2.18        Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a)        Except as expressly otherwise provided herein (including as expressly provided in Sections 2.9, 2.10(b), 2.15(c), 2.19, 2.20, 2.21, 2.22, 2.24, 2.26, 10.5 and 10.7), each borrowing by the Borrowers from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrowers on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Revolving Commitments, Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments or Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments shall be made pro rata according to the Revolving Percentages, Australian Tranche Revolving Percentages or Euro Tranche Revolving Percentages, as applicable, of the relevant Lenders other than reductions of Revolving Commitments, Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments or Euro Tranche Revolving Percentages pursuant to Section 2.24 and payments in respect of any differences in the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate of Extending Lenders pursuant to an Extension Amendment or Lenders in respect of New Revolving Commitments, New Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments and New Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments.

(b)        Each mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans shall be allocated among the relevant Tranches pro rata, in each case except as affected by the opt-out provision under Section 2.12(e); provided, that at the request of the Parent Borrower, in lieu of such application of the portion allocable to the Term Loans on a pro rata basis among all Tranches of Term Loans, such prepayment may be applied to any Tranche of Term Loans so long as the maturity date of such Tranche of Term Loans precedes the maturity date of each other Tranche of Term Loans then outstanding or, in the event more than one Tranche of Term Loans shall have an identical maturity date that precedes the maturity date of each other Tranche of Term Loans then outstanding, to such Tranches on a pro rata basis provided further that in connection with a mandatory prepayment under Section 2.12(a) in connection with the incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Obligations, such prepayment shall be allocated to the Tranches as specified by the Parent Borrower (but to the Loans within such Tranches on a pro rata basis).

Amounts repaid or prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(c)        Except as expressly otherwise provided herein (including as expressly provided in Sections 2.7, 2.10(b), 2.15(c), 2.19, 2.20, 2.21, 2.22, 2.24, 2.26, 10.5 and 10.7), each payment (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrowers on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans, Australian Tranche Revolving Loans and Euro Tranche Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans, Australian Tranche Revolving Loans or Euro Tranche Revolving Loans, as applicable, then held by the Revolving Lenders, Australian Lenders or Eur Tranche Lenders, as applicable, other than payments in respect of any differences in the Applicable Margin of Extending Lenders pursuant to an Extension Amendment or Lenders in respect of New Revolving Loans, New Australian Tranche Revolving Loans and New Euro Tranche Revolving Loans. Each payment in respect of Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be made to the Issuing Lender that issued such Letter of Credit. Except with respect to principal of and interest on Revolving Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, Australian Tranche Revolving Loans or Euro Tranche Revolving Loans, the applicable Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of L/C Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when due, in Same Day Funds, free and clear of any defenses, rights of set-off or counterclaim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all payments by a Borrower hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable (with notice to the Administrative Agent)), for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the payment office applicable to the respective currency in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable (with notice to the Administrative Agent)) on the date when due, free and clear of any defenses, rights of set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable (with notice to the Administrative Agent)) at the payment office (applicable to the respective currency), except payments to be made directly to any Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21 and 10.5 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable (with notice to the Administrative Agent)) shall distribute any

 

85


such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be made payable for the period of such extension. Except as otherwise provided herein and any payments of fees interest and principal in respect of borrowings in an Alternative Currency (in which case, such payments shall be made in such currency), all payments hereunder shall be made in US Dollars. If, for any reason, a Borrower is prohibited by any applicable law, regulation or ruling by a Governmental Authority from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in US Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount.

(d)        All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff, deduction or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable (with notice to the Administrative Agent)), for the account of the relevant Lenders, at the Funding Office, in immediately available funds. Any payment received by the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) after 2:00 P.M., New York City time may be considered received on the next Business Day in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion. The Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable (with notice to the Administrative Agent)) shall distribute such payments to the relevant Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Term Benchmark Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Term Benchmark Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then-applicable rate during such extension.

(e)    Unless the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable (with notice to the Administrative Agent)) shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable), the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable), and the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) (by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable). A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be presumptively correct in the absence of demonstrable error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall give notice of such fact to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the applicable Borrower. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Borrower against any Defaulting Lender.

 

86


(f)        Unless the Administrative Agent (and, if with respect to the Australian Tranche Revolving Facility, with a copy to the Primary Australian Lender) shall have been notified in writing by the Parent Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by any Borrower hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable), the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable)may assume that such Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) by the applicable Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each relevant Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) or any Lender against such Borrower.

(g)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to a Loan Party shall not be paid with amounts received from such Loan Party but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Obligations provided for herein or therein.

2.19        Requirements of Law.

(a)        If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority first made, in each case, subsequent to the Closing Date:

(i)        shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or shall subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes and Non-Excluded Taxes) on advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBO Rate, EURIBOR Rate or AUD Rate hereunder; or

(ii)        shall impose on such Lender any other condition not otherwise contemplated hereunder; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender reasonably deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Term Benchmark Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit (in each case hereunder), or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Parent Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, in US Dollars, within thirty Business Days after the Parent Borrower’s receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor (showing with reasonable detail the calculations thereof), any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b)        If any Lender shall have reasonably determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any entity controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority first made, in each case, subsequent to the Closing Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such entity’s capital as a consequence of its

 

87


obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such entity could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such entity’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a reasonably detailed written request therefor (consistent with the detail provided by such Lender to similarly situated borrowers), the Parent Borrower shall pay to such Lender, in US Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such entity for such reduction.

(c)      A certificate prepared in good faith as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.19 submitted by any Lender to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be presumptively correct in the absence of demonstrable error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.19, the Parent Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.19 for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Parent Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 180-day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Parent Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent Borrower shall not be obligated to make payment to any Lender with respect to penalties, interest and expenses if written demand therefore was not made by such Lender within 180 days from the date on which such Lender makes payment for such penalties, interest and expenses.

(d)        Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.19 to the contrary, solely for purposes of this Section 2.19, (i) the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall, in each case, be deemed to have been enacted, adopted or issued, as applicable, subsequent to the Closing Date.

(e)        For purposes of this Section 2.19, the term “Lender” shall include any Issuing Lender.

2.20        Taxes.

(a)        Except as required by law, all payments made by the Borrowers or any Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes. If a Borrower, an Obligor or any other applicable withholding agent is required by law (as determined in the good faith discretion of such Borrower, Obligor or the applicable withholding agent) to withhold or deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any amount paid or payable by such Borrower or applicable Obligor under any Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender, then (i) such Borrower, Obligor or 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 (ii) if such Taxes are Non-Excluded Taxes, the applicable Obligor shall pay an additional amount to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, to the extent necessary, so the Administrative Agent or such Lender receives (after deduction or withholding of all Non-Excluded Taxes including Non-Excluded Taxes attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.20(a)) an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholdings or deductions been made.

 

88


(b)        In addition, each Borrower or any Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents 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, Other Taxes.

(c)      Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are paid by the Borrowers and any Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as promptly as practicable thereafter the applicable Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Borrower showing payment thereof if such receipt is obtainable, or, if not, such other evidence of payment as may reasonably be required by the Administrative Agent or such Lender.

(d)      Subject to Section 2.20(a), any Borrower or any Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Lender, within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes (including Non-Excluded Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) (to the extent not compensated by an increased payment under clause (a) above) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded 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 applicable Borrower or any Loan Party 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.

(e)      Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten days after demand therefor, for (i) any Non-Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Borrower or any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Non-Excluded Taxes and without limiting the obligation of any Borrower or any Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6(c)(iii) 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, 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 paragraph (e).

(f)        Each Lender (and, in the case of a pass-through entity, each of its beneficial owners) that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “Non-US Lender”) shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Parent Borrower and to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) (i) two executed, accurate and complete copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or successor form certifying that it is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (ii) two executed, accurate and complete copies of IRS Form W-8ECI or successor form, (iii) in the case of a Non-US Lender claiming exemption from United States federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit N-1, certifying that such Non-US Lender is not (A) a bank described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a 10-percent shareholder of the Parent Borrower described in Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a controlled foreign corporation related to the Parent Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no payments in connection with any Loan Document are effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”); and two executed,

 

89


accurate and complete copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions or successors to such forms, in each case properly completed and duly executed by such Non-US Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, United States federal withholding tax on all payments by any Borrower or any Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) to the extent a Non-US Lender is not the beneficial owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied by, and to the extent applicable, an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8ECI, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit N-2 or Exhibit N-3 (provided, that if the Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit N-4 on behalf of such direct or indirect partner(s)), IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8IMY (or other successor forms) and any other required supporting information from each beneficial owner; or (v) any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents, duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Requirement of Law to permit the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-US Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-US Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non- US Lender and from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Each Non-US Lender shall (i) promptly notify the Parent Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Parent Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the United States taxing authorities for such purpose) and (ii) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in its reasonable judgment, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its lending office pursuant to Section 2.23) to avoid any requirement of applicable laws of any such jurisdiction that any Borrower or any Loan Party make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-US Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-US Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(g)        Each Lender (and, in the case of a Lender that is a non-United States pass-through entity, each of its beneficial owners) that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “US Lender”) shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent two executed, accurate and complete copies of IRS Form W-9, or any subsequent versions or successors to such form and certify that such lender is not subject to backup withholding. Such forms shall be delivered by each US Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement. In addition, each US Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such US Lender and from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Each US Lender shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certifications to the Parent Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the United States taxing authorities for such purpose).

(h)      If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower or any Loan Party or with respect to which any Borrower or any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20, it shall promptly pay over such refund to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower or such Loan Party under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without

 

90


interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that each Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority; provided, further, that the Borrowers shall not be required to repay to the Administrative Agent or the Lender an amount in excess of the amount paid over by such party to the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.20. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person. In no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrowers the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-tax position than the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the additional amounts giving rise to such refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes had never been paid. The agreements in this Section 2.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.

(i)      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 to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Parent Borrower and 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 subsection (i), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(j)        In respect of a payment made to an Australian Lender which is not a resident of Australia for tax purposes under any Loan Document by the Australian Borrower, such Australian Lender shall: (i) provide to the Australian Borrower confirmation at the time of becoming an Australian Lender to this Agreement as to whether or not that Lender was eligible to receive payments of interest upon any Loan Agreement without withholding or deduction on account of Australian Withholding Tax; (ii) represent and warrant that it will notify the Australian Borrower in writing if the confirmation in paragraph (j)(i) ceases to be correct prior to the time of the next interest payment on the Loan Document, and (iii) cooperate, to the extent it is reasonably able to do so, and provide the Australian Borrower all reasonable documentation to confirm the confirmations, representations and warranties in this Section 2.20(j).

(k)        For purposes of this Section 2.20, the term “Lender” shall include any Issuing Lender and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(l)         For purposes of this Agreement, any reference to IRS Form W-8-BEN shall be deemed to include a reference to IRS Form W-8-BEN-E.

(m)        Each Euro Lender and the Euro Borrower shall cooperate in good faith in order for the Euro Borrower (or any agent or nominee thereof) to make payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document without a tax deduction or withholding being imposed by the Republic of Italy or with the minimum rate of tax deduction or withholding under applicable laws. Each Euro Lender shall, after becoming a Euro Lender under this Agreement, and from time to time thereafter whenever required, promptly submit any forms and documents and complete any procedural formalities (including obtaining and providing the Euro Borrower with an up to date affidavit for double taxation treaty purposes or, as the case may be, a Self-Declaration in case of a Euro Lender which requests the application of the withholding

 

91


tax exemption provided for by article 26(5bis) of Presidential Decree No. 600 of 29 September 1973, as amended) as may be necessary (at any time) for the Euro Borrower (or any agent or nominee thereof) to obtain and maintain authorisation (at all times) to make payments from the Euro Borrower (or any agent or nominee thereof) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document without a tax deduction or withholding being imposed by the Republic of Italy or with the minimum rate of tax deduction or withholding under applicable laws (the “Procedural Formalities”). If a Euro Lender fails to provide the Euro Borrower with copy of the duly completed Procedural Formalities before the relevant payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is due then such Euro Lender shall be treated for the purposes of that payment by the Euro Borrower (or any agent or nominee thereof) as if it is subject to tax deduction or withholding being imposed by the Republic of Italy at the maximum applicable rate. For purposes of this Section 2.20(m), no Lender shall be considered a Euro Lender until the terms and condition in Section 5.3 shall have been satisfied.

2.21        Indemnity. Other than with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed solely by Section 2.20, in the event of (i) the payment of any principal of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or an optional or mandatory prepayment of Loans), (ii) the conversion of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iii) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Term Benchmark Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(a) and is revoked in accordance therewith), (iv) the assignment of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Parent Borrower pursuant to Section 2.24 or (v) the failure by any Borrower to make any payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense (other than loss of Applicable Margin) attributable to such event. In the case of a Term Benchmark Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate or the AUD Rate, as applicable, that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then-current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (y) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency, whether or not such Term Benchmark Loan was in fact so funded. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Parent Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

2.22        Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof, in each case, first made after the Closing Date, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Term Benchmark Loans (whether denominated in US Dollars or an Alternative Currency) as contemplated by this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof (a “Rate Determination Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, and (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Term Benchmark Loans, continue Term Benchmark Loans as such and convert ABR Loans to Term Benchmark Loans shall be suspended during the period of such illegality, (b) such Lender’s outstanding Term Benchmark Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be converted automatically to US Dollars on the last day of the then-current Interest Period applicable thereto and (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Term

 

92


Benchmark Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then-current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Term Benchmark Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then-current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.21.

2.23        Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.19, 2.20(a) or 2.22 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Parent Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 2.23 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrowers or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20(a) or 2.22.

2.24        Replacement of Lenders. The Borrowers shall be permitted to (a) replace with a financial entity or financial entities, or (b) prepay or terminate, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.21), the Loans or Commitments, as applicable, of any Lender or Issuing Lender (each such Lender and Issuing Lender, a “Replaced Lender”) that (i) requests reimbursement for amounts owing or otherwise results in increased costs imposed on the Borrowers or on account of which the Borrowers are required to pay additional amounts to any Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21 (to the extent a request made by a Lender pursuant to the operation of Section 2.21 is materially greater than requests made by other Lenders) or gives a notice of illegality pursuant to Section 2.22, (ii) is a Defaulting Lender, or (iii) has refused to consent to any waiver or amendment with respect to any Loan Document that requires such Lender’s consent and has been consented to by the Required Lenders; provided that, in the case of a replacement pursuant to clause (a) above, (A) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (B) the replacement financial entity or financial entities shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such Replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (C) the Borrowers shall be liable to such Replaced Lender under Section 2.21 (as though Section 2.21 were applicable) if any Term Benchmark Loan owing to such Replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (D) the replacement financial entity or financial entities, (x) if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to the extent that an assignment to such replacement financial institution of the rights and obligations being acquired by it would otherwise require the consent of the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.6(b)(i)(B) and (y) shall pay (unless otherwise paid by the Borrowers) any processing and recordation fee required under Section 10.6(b)(ii)(B), (E) the Administrative Agent and any replacement financial entity or entities shall execute and deliver, and such Replaced Lender shall thereupon be deemed to have executed and delivered, an appropriately completed Assignment and Assumption to effect such substitution (or, in the case of a replacement of an Issuing Lender, customary assignment documentation), (F) the Borrowers shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20, as the case may be, in respect of any period prior to the date on which such replacement shall be consummated, (G) in respect of a replacement pursuant to clause (iii) above, the replacement financial entity or financial entities shall consent to such amendment or waiver and (H) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the Replaced Lender. The termination of the Commitments of any Lender pursuant to clause (b) above shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 2.18. In connection with any such replacement under this Section 2.24, if the Replaced Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement by the later of (a) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation and (b) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the Replaced Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such

 

93


Replaced Lender, then such Replaced Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Parent Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Replaced Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall record such assignment in the Register.

2.25        Incremental Loans.

Any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of such New Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such New Loan Commitments.

(b)        Such New Loan Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that (i)(1) each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality or “material adverse effect”), in each case on and as of such Increased Amount Date as if made on and as of such Increased Amount Date except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality or “material adverse effect”) as of such earlier date (or, in the case of an incurrence of New Loans necessary or advisable (as determined by the Parent Borrower in good faith) for the consummation of a Limited Condition Acquisition, each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality or “material adverse effect”), in each case on and as of the date the definitive acquisition agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (or, if applicable, the date of delivery of an irrevocable notice or declaration of such Limited Condition Acquisition) as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality or “material adverse effect”) as of such earlier date) and (2) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date immediately after giving effect to such New Loan Commitments and the making of any New Loans pursuant thereto and any transaction consummated in connection therewith (or, in the case of an incurrence of New Loans necessary or advisable (as determined by the Parent Borrower in good faith) for the

For the avoidance of doubt, the rate of interest and the amortization schedule (if applicable) of any New Loan Commitments shall be determined by the Parent Borrower and the applicable New Lenders and shall be set forth in the applicable Joinder Agreement.

(c)        On any Increased Amount Date on which any New Loan Commitment become effective, subject to the foregoing terms and conditions, each lender with a New Loan Commitment (each, a “New Lender”) shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such New Loan Commitment.

 

95

Each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders (other than with respect to any New Loans or New Loan Commitments under the Australian Tranche Revolving Facility, which shall require the consent of the Primary Australian Lender), effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.25.

(e)        Supplemental Term Loan Commitments, Revolving Commitment Increases, Australian Tranche Revolving Commitment Increases and Euro Tranche Revolving Commitment Increases shall become commitments under this Agreement pursuant to a supplement specifying the Term Loan Tranche, Revolving Tranche, Australian Tranche Revolving Tranche or Euro Tranche Revolving Tranche to be increased, executed by the Parent Borrower, applicable other Borrowers and each increasing Lender substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-1 (the “Increase Supplement”) or by each New Lender substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-2 (the “Lender Joinder Agreement”), as the case may be, which shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent for recording in the Register.

2.26      Extension of Term Loans, Revolving Commitments, Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments or Euro Tranche Commitments.

(a)        The Parent Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the (i) Term Loans of one or more Tranches existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Term Tranche”, and the Term Loans of such Tranche, the “Existing Term Loans”), (ii) Revolving Commitments of one or more Tranches existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Revolving Tranche” and the Revolving Commitments of such Existing Revolving Tranche, the “Existing Revolving Loans”), (iii) Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments of one or more Tranches existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Australian Tranche Revolving Tranche” and the Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments of such Existing Australian Tranche Revolving Tranche, the “Existing Australian Tranche Revolving Loans”) or (iv) Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments of one or more Tranches existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Euro Tranche Revolving Tranche”, and together with the Existing Term Tranches, Existing Revolving Tranches and Existing Australian Tranche Revolving Tranches, each, an “Existing Tranche”, and the Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments of such Existing Euro Tranche Revolving Tranche, the “Existing Euro Tranche Revolving Loans”, and together with the Existing Term Loans, Existing Revolving Loans and Existing Australian Tranche Revolving Loans, the “Existing Loans”), in each case, be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of any Existing Tranche (any such Existing Tranche which has been so extended, an “Extended Term Tranche”, “Extended Revolving Tranche”, “Extended Australian Tranche Revolving Tranche or “Extended Euro Tranche Revolving Tranche”, as applicable, and each, an “Extended Tranche”, and the Term Loans, Revolving Commitments, Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments or Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments, as applicable, of such Extended Tranches, the “Extended Term Loans”, “Extended Revolving Commitments”, “Extended Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments” or “Extended Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments”), as applicable, and collectively, the “Extended Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.26; provided that (i) any such request shall be made by the Parent Borrower to all Lenders with Term Loans, Revolving Commitments, Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments or Eura Tranche

 

96


Revolving Commitments, as applicable, with a like maturity date (whether under one or more Tranches) on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the applicable Term Loans or the applicable Revolving Commitments) and (ii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Parent Borrower in its sole discretion. In order to establish any Extended Tranche, the Parent Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the applicable Lenders of the applicable Existing Tranche) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Tranche to be established, which terms shall be substantially similar to those applicable to the Existing Tranche from which they are to be extended (the “Specified Existing Tranche”), except (x) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Tranches may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates of the Specified Existing Tranche, (y) (A) the interest margins with respect to the Extended Tranche may be higher or lower than the interest margins for the Specified Existing Tranche and/or (B) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Tranche in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A) and (z) in the case of an Extended Term Tranche, so long as the weighted average life to maturity of such Extended Tranche would be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Specified Existing Tranche, amortization rates with respect to the Extended Term Tranche may be higher or lower than the amortization rates for the Specified Existing Tranche, in each case to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.26 or otherwise, assignments and participations of Extended Tranches shall be governed by the same or, at the Parent Borrower’s discretion, more restrictive assignment and participation provisions applicable to Term Loans, Revolving Commitments, Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments or Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments, as applicable, set forth in Section 10.6. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Existing Loans converted into an Extended Tranche pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Extended Tranche shall constitute a separate Tranche of Loans from the Specified Existing Tranches and from any other Existing Tranches (together with any other Extended Tranches so established on such date).

(b)        The Parent Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least 10 Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Tranche or Existing Tranches are requested to respond. Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Specified Existing Tranche converted into an Extended Tranche shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Specified Existing Tranche that it has elected to convert into an Extended Tranche. In the event that the aggregate amount of the Specified Existing Tranche subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Tranches requested pursuant to the Extension Request, the Specified Existing Tranches subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Tranches on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Specified Existing Tranches included in each such Extension Election. In connection with any extension of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.26 (each, an “Extension”), the Parent Borrower shall agree to such procedures regarding timing, rounding and other administrative adjustments to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.26. The Parent Borrower may amend, revoke or replace an Extension Request pursuant to procedures reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent at any time prior to the date (the “Extension Request Deadline”) on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Tranches, Existing Revolving Tranches, Existing Australian Tranche Revolving Tranches or Existing Euro Tranche Revolving Tranches are requested to respond to the Extension Request. Any Lender may revoke an Extension Election at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. on the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the Extension Request Deadline, at which point the Extension Election becomes irrevocable (unless otherwise agreed by Borrower). The revocation of an Extension Election prior to the Extension Request Deadline shall not prejudice any Lender’s right to submit a new Extension Election prior to the Extension Request Deadline.

 

97


(c)      Extended Tranches shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which may include amendments to provisions related to maturity, interest margins or fees referenced in clauses (x) and (y) of Section 2.26(a), or, in the case of Extended Term Tranches, amortization rates referenced in clause (z) of Section 2.26(a), and which, in each case, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the last sentence of this Section 2.26(c) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.1, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Tranches established thereby) executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, and the Extending Lenders. Subject to the requirements of this Section 2.26 and without limiting the generality or applicability of Section 10.1 to any Section 2.26 Additional Amendments, any Extension Amendment may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a “Section 2.26 Additional Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such Section 2.26 Additional Amendments do not become effective prior to the time that such Section 2.26 Additional Amendments have been consented to (including pursuant to consents applicable to holders of any Extended Tranches provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, Loan Parties and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.26 Additional Amendments to become effective in accordance with Section 10.1; provided, further, that no Extension Amendment may provide for (i) any Extended Tranche to be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Loan Party that does not also secure the Existing Tranches or be guaranteed by any Person other than the Obligors and (ii) so long as any Existing Term Tranches are outstanding, any mandatory or voluntary prepayment provisions that do not also apply to the Existing Term Tranches (other than Existing Term Tranches secured on a junior basis by the Collateral or ranking junior in right of payment, which shall be subject to junior prepayment provisions) on a pro rata basis (or otherwise provide for more favorable prepayment treatment for Existing Term Tranches than such Extended Term Tranches as contemplated by Section 2.12). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.1, any such Extension Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable judgment of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.26; provided that the foregoing shall not constitute a consent on behalf of any Lender to the terms of any Section 2.26 Additional Amendment.

(d)        If, in connection with any proposed Extension Amendment, any Lender declines to consent to the applicable extension on the terms and by the deadline set forth in the applicable Extension Request (each such other Lender, a “Non-Extending Lender”) then the Parent Borrower may, on notice to the Administrative Agent and the Non-Extending Lender, replace such Non-Extending Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.6 (with the assignment fee and any other costs and expenses to be paid by the Parent Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Parent Borrower to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that the applicable assignee shall have agreed to provide Extended Loans on the terms set forth in such Extension Amendment; provided, further, that all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to the Existing Loans so assigned (including pursuant to Section 2.21 (as though Section 2.21 were applicable)) shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Extending Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Assumption. In connection with any such replacement under this Section 2.26, if the Non-Extending Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption by the later of (A) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption and (B) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to the Existing Loans so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Extending Lender, then such Non-Extending Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption as of such date and the Parent Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption on behalf of such Non-Extending Lender.

 

98


(e)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on any date on which any Existing Tranche is converted to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with Section 2.26(a) above (an “Extension Date”), in the case of the Specified Existing Tranche of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such Specified Existing Tranche shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Tranche so converted by such Lender on such date, and such Extended Tranches shall be established as a separate Tranche from the Specified Existing Tranche and from any other Existing Tranches (together with any other Extended Tranches so established on such date).

(f)        Following any Extension Date, with the written consent of the Parent Borrower, any Non-Extending Lender may elect to have all or a portion of its Existing Loans deemed to be an Extended Loan under the applicable Extended Tranche on any date (each date a “Designation Date”) prior to the maturity date of such Extended Tranche; provided that such Lender shall have provided written notice to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent at least 10 Business Days prior to such Designation Date (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion); provided, further, that no greater amount shall be paid by or on behalf of the Parent Borrower or any of its Affiliates to any such Non-Extending Lender as consideration for its extension into such Extended Tranche than was paid to any Extending Lender as consideration for its Extension into such Extended Tranche. Following a Designation Date, the Existing Loans held by such Lender so elected to be extended will be deemed to be Extended Loans of the applicable Extended Tranche, and any Existing Loans held by such Lender not elected to be extended, if any, shall continue to be “Existing Loans” of the applicable Tranche.

(g)      With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Parent Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.26, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute optional or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Sections 2.11 and 2.12 and (ii) no Extension Request is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided that the Parent Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Request in the Parent Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Parent Borrower) of Existing Loans of any or all applicable Tranches be extended. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.26 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Request) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 2.8, 2.11 and 2.12) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.26.

2.27        Permitted Debt Exchanges.

(a)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, a “Permitted Debt Exchange Offer”) made from time to time by the Parent Borrower to all Lenders (other than any Lender that, if requested by the Parent Borrower, is unable to certify that it is either a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act)) with outstanding Term Loans of a particular Tranche, as selected by the Parent Borrower, the Parent Borrower may from time to time following the Closing Date consummate one or more exchanges of Term Loans of such Tranche for Additional Obligations in the form of notes (such notes, “Permitted Debt Exchange Notes,” and each such exchange a “Permitted Debt Exchange”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Term Loans exchanged shall equal the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Permitted Debt Exchange Notes issued in exchange for such Term Loans, (ii) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans exchanged by the Parent Borrower pursuant to any Permitted Debt Exchange shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Parent Borrower on the date of the settlement thereof

(and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, any applicable exchanging Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, or such other form as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, in respect thereof pursuant to which the respective Lender assigns its interest in the Term Loans being exchanged pursuant to the Permitted Debt Exchange to the Parent Borrower for immediate cancellation), (iii) if the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) tendered by Lenders in respect of the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer (with no Lender being permitted to tender a principal amount of Term Loans which exceeds the principal amount of the applicable Tranche actually held by it) shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans offered to be exchanged by the Parent Borrower pursuant to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer, then the Parent Borrower shall exchange Term Loans subject to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer tendered by such Lenders ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts so tendered, (iv) each such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall be made on a pro rata basis to the Lenders (other than any Lender that, if requested by the Parent Borrower, is unable to certify that it is either a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act)) based on their respective aggregate principal amounts of outstanding Term Loans of the applicable Tranche, (v) all documentation in respect of such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be consistent with the foregoing, and all written communications generally directed to the Lenders in connection therewith shall be in form and substance consistent with the foregoing and made in consultation with the Administrative Agent, and (vi) any applicable Minimum Exchange Tender Condition shall be satisfied. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans exchanged for Permitted Debt Exchange Notes pursuant to any Permitted Debt Exchange Offer.

(b)      With respect to all Permitted Debt Exchanges effected by the Parent Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.27, (i) such Permitted Debt Exchanges (and the cancellation of the exchanged Term Loans in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.11 and 2.12 and (ii) such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall be made for not less than $25,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Term Loans, provided that, subject to the foregoing clause (ii), the Parent Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Exchange Tender Condition”) to consummating any such Permitted Debt Exchange that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer in the Parent Borrower’s discretion) of Term Loans be tendered.

(c)        In connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, the Parent Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least 10 Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, shall mutually agree to such procedures as may be necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.27 and without conflict with Section 2.27(d); provided that the terms of any Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall provide that the date by which the relevant Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be not less than five Business Days following the date on which the Permitted Debt Exchange Offer is made.

(d)      The Parent Borrower shall be responsible for compliance with, and hereby agrees to comply with, all applicable securities and other laws in connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, it being understood and agreed that (x) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility in connection with the Parent Borrower’s compliance with such laws in connection with any Permitted Debt Exchange (other than the Parent Borrower’s reliance on any certificate delivered by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.27(a) above for which such Lender shall bear sole responsibility) and (y) each Lender shall be solely responsible for its compliance with any applicable “insider trading” laws and regulations to which such Lender may be subject under the Exchange Act.

SECTION 3.      LETTERS OF CREDIT

 

100


3.1         L/C Commitment.

(a)      Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (the letters of credit issued on and after the Closing Date pursuant to this Section 3, together with the Existing Letters of Credit, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) under the Revolving Commitments for the account of the Revolving Borrowers or any Obligor on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided that no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the aggregate L/C Commitment, (ii) the L/C Obligations of such Issuing Lender shall exceed such Issuing Lender’s individual L/C Commitment or (iii) any Revolving Lender’s Available Revolving Commitment or the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero and (iv) Barclays Bank PLC shall not be required to issue any Letters of Credit other than standby Letters of Credit. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in US Dollars or any Alternative Currency and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance or such longer period as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender and (y) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date (unless cash collateralized or backstopped, in each case in a manner agreed to by the Parent Borrower and the Issuing Lender); provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods or such longer periods as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above (unless cash collateralized or backstopped, in each case in a manner agreed to by the Parent Borrower and the Issuing Lender)).

(b)      No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would (i) conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law, or if such Requirement of Law would impose upon such Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and is not otherwise reimbursable to it by the Borrowers hereunder and which such Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it or (ii) violate one or more policies of such Issuing Lender applicable generally to the issuance of letters of credit for the account of similarly situated borrowers.

(c)        No Issuing Lender shall be required to (but may, at its option) (i) issue a Letter of Credit in an amount less than $100,000 and (ii) issue any Letter of Credit to the extent it would cause such Issuing Bank to have more than five Letters of Credit outstanding to the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries.

3.2        Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Borrowers may from time to time request that the relevant Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit (or amend, renew or extend an outstanding Letter of Credit) by delivering to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified to the Borrowers by such Issuing Lender an Application therefor, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, completed to the reasonable satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any Application, the relevant Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue (or amend, renew or extend, as the case may be) the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event without the consent of the applicable Issuing Lender shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue (or amend, renew or extend, as the case may be) any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit (or such amendment, renewal or extension, as the case may be) to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender and the Parent Borrower. Such Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Parent Borrower promptly following the issuance (or such amendment, renewal or extension, as the case may be) thereof. Each Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in

 

101


turn promptly furnish to the relevant Revolving Lenders, notice of the issuance (or such amendment, renewal or extension, as the case may be) of each Letter of Credit issued by it (including the amount thereof).

3.3        Fees and Other Charges.

(a)        The Borrowers will pay a fee, in US Dollars, on each outstanding Letter of Credit requested by it, at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Term Benchmark Loans under the Revolving Facility (minus the fronting fee referred to below), on the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of such Letter of Credit, which fee shall be shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date; provided that, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, such Lender’s ratable share of any letter of credit fee accrued on the aggregate amount available to be drawn on any outstanding Letters of Credit during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrowers so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such Lender’s ratable share of any letter of credit fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrowers prior to such time; provided further that any Defaulting Lender’s ratable share of any letter of credit fee accrued on the aggregate amount available to be drawn on any outstanding Letters of Credit shall accrue for the account of each Non-Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit which has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(d) and with respect to any L/C Shortfall either (i) if the Borrowers have paid to the Administrative Agent, an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of the L/C Shortfall to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrowers to the Issuing Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Borrowers or (ii) otherwise, for the account of the Issuing Lenders, in each case so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. In addition, the Borrowers shall pay to each Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee, in US Dollars, equal to 0.125% per annum on the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by it to the Borrowers separately agreed to by the Parent Borrower and such Issuing Lender, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.

(b)        In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrowers shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for costs and expenses agreed by the Borrowers and such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit requested by the Borrowers.

3.4        L/C Participations.

(a)        Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce such Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from such Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by it for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay, in US Dollars, to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender upon demand an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed (“L/C Disbursements”); provided that, nothing in this paragraph shall relieve the Issuing Lender of any liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision (or settlement tantamount thereto). Each

 

102


L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have against any Issuing Lender, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the financial condition of the Borrowers, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(b)        If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility. A certificate of the relevant Issuing Lender submitted to any relevant L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.4 shall be presumptively correct in the absence of demonstrable error.

(c)        Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrowers or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.

(d)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event an L/C Participant becomes a Defaulting Lender, then such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage in all outstanding Letters of Credit will automatically be reallocated among the L/C Participants that are Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage (calculated without regard to the Revolving Commitment of the Defaulting Lender), but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the Revolving Extensions of Credit of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender. Subject to Section 10.23, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. If such reallocation cannot, or can only partially be effected, the Borrowers shall, within five Business Days after written notice from the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage (calculated as in effect immediately prior to it becoming a Defaulting Lender) of the L/C Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 3.4(d)) to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrowers to the Issuing Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account

 

103


to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent. So long as there is a Defaulting Lender, an Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit where the sum of the Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Percentage, as applicable, of the outstanding Revolving Loans, their participations in Swing Line Loans and their participations in Letters of Credit after giving effect to any such requested Letter of Credit would exceed (such excess, the “L/C Shortfall”) the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders, unless the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of the L/C Shortfall, such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrowers to the Issuing Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent.

(e)        If, on any date, the L/C Obligations would exceed 105% of the L/C Commitment (including as a result of any revaluation of the Dollar Equivalent of the L/C Obligations on any Revaluation Date in accordance with Section 1.4), the Borrowers shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount by which the L/C Obligations exceed the L/C Commitment, such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrowers to the Issuing Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent.

3.5        Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers. The Borrowers agree to reimburse each Issuing Lender on the Business Day following the date on which such Issuing Lender notifies the Parent Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender at the Parent Borrower’s request and paid by such Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any fees, charges or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (the amounts described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) in respect of any drawing, collectively, the “Payment Amount”). Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified to the Parent Borrower in US Dollars and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full at a rate equal to (i) until the second Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice, the rate applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility and (ii) thereafter, the rate set forth in Section 2.15(c). In the case of any such reimbursement in US Dollars with respect to a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable Issuing Lender shall notify the Parent Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the draft so paid promptly following the determination thereof.

3.6        Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrowers may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrowers also agree with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrowers’ Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrowers and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrowers against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee, or any other events or circumstances that, pursuant to applicable law or the applicable customs and practices promulgated by the International Chamber of Commerce, are not within the responsibility of such Issuing Lender, except for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender or its employees or agents. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender or its employees or agents. The Borrowers agree that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done

 

104


in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrowers and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to the Borrowers.

3.7        Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of such Issuing Lender to the Borrowers in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

3.8        Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement or such other Loan Document shall apply.

3.9      Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender and the Parent Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (a) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (b) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance, shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

SECTION 4.      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, each Borrower hereby represents and warrants (as to itself and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or where specified, its Subsidiaries)) to the Agents and each Lender, which representations and warranties shall be deemed made on the Closing Date and on the date of each borrowing of Loans or issuance, extension or renewal of a Letter of Credit hereunder that:

4.1      Financial Condition. The audited consolidated balance sheet of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2018, December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, and the related statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP or other independent certified public accountants of nationally recognized standing, present fairly in all material respects the financial condition of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries, as at such date, and the results of, their operations, their cash flows and their changes in stockholders’ equity for the respective fiscal years then ended. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto and year-end adjustments, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (except as otherwise noted therein).

4.2        No Change. Since December 31, 2020, there has been no event, development or circumstance that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.3        Existence; Compliance with Law. (a) Except as set forth in Schedule 4.3, (i) the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than any Immaterial Subsidiaries) is duly organized (or incorporated), validly existing and in good standing (or, only where applicable, the equivalent status in any foreign jurisdiction) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation, except in each case (other than with respect to the Borrowers), to the extent such failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) has the corporate or organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its Property, to lease the Property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (iii) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or limited

 

105


liability company and in good standing (where such concept is relevant) under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of Property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification except, in each case, to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or in good standing (where such concept is relevant) would not have a Material Adverse Effect and (b) each of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that any such failure to comply therewith would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.4        Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations.

(a)        Each Loan Party has the corporate power and authority to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrowers, to borrow or have Letters of Credit issued hereunder, except in each case (other than with respect to the Borrowers), to the extent such failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate or other action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrowers, to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, except in each case (other than with respect to the Borrowers), to the extent such failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)        No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder or the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 4.4, which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect or the failure to obtain which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) the filings referred to in Section 4.17.

(c)        Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms (provided that, with respect to the creation and perfection of security interests with respect to the Capital Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries, only to the extent enforceability of such obligation with respect to which Capital Stock is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code), except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law) and the implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing.

4.5        No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by the Loan Parties thereto, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not (a) violate the Organic Documents of (i) the Borrowers or (ii) except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, any other Loan Party, (b) except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, violate any Requirement of Law binding on the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any Contractual Obligation of the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or (c) except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens permitted by Section 7.3).

4.6        No Material Litigation. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.6, no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Parent Borrower, threatened against the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or against any

 

106


of their Properties which, taken as a whole, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.7        No Default. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

4.8    Ownership of Property; Liens. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.8, each of the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries has good title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its Real Property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other Property (other than Intellectual Property, which is addressed separately in Section 4.9), in each case, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and none of such Property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by the Loan Documents.

4.9        Intellectual Property. Each of the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries owns, or has a valid license to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted, free and clear of all Liens except as permitted by the Loan Documents, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No holding, injunction, decision or judgment has been rendered by any Governmental Authority against the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary and neither the Parent Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has entered into any settlement stipulation or other agreement (except non-exclusive license agreements in the ordinary course of business) which would limit, cancel or question the validity or enforceability of the Parent Borrower’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s rights in, any Intellectual Property in any respect that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No claim has been asserted or threatened or is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use or ownership by the Parent Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Intellectual Property used or owned by the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or the validity or enforceability of any Intellectual Property, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The use of Intellectual Property by the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries and the operation of their businesses does not infringe on, misappropriate or otherwise violate the rights of any Person in a manner that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries take all reasonable actions that in the exercise of their reasonable business judgment should be taken to protect and maintain their ownership of, and the validity and enforceability of, all Intellectual Property, including Intellectual Property that is confidential in nature, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.10        Taxes. Each of the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (i) has filed or caused to be filed all federal, state, provincial and other tax returns that are required to be filed and (ii) has paid all Taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns and all other Taxes, fees or other similar charges imposed on it or any of its Property by any Governmental Authority (other than any amounts the validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which any reserves required in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Parent Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be), except in each case of (i) and (ii), where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither any transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents, nor any transaction to be carried out in connection with any transaction contemplated thereby, meets any hallmark set out in Annex IV of the Council Directive of 25 May 2018 (2018/822/EU) amending Directive 2011/16/EU.

4.11        Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for any purpose that violates the provisions of the regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U 1 referred to in Regulation U.

9.1        Authorization and Action.

(a)        (i) Each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors and assigns to serve as the administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents.

(ii)        Without prejudice to paragraph (a)(i) above, in relation to the Loan Documents governed by Italian law, each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors and assigns as its “mandatario con rappresentanza” pursuant to articles 1703, 1704 and followings of the Italian Civil Code, to act as its agent to serve as the administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents governed by Italian law and each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender

 

135


authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents governed by Italian law as are delegated to the Administrative Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents governed by Italian law to which the Administrative Agent is a party (including, for the avoidance of any doubt, the power to release and discharge any Lien created under the Euro Security Document governed by Italian law), and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents governed by Italian law also in case of occurrence of the events described in, articles 1394 and 1395 of the Italian Civil Code.

(b)        As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative 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 written instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing, such instructions shall be binding upon each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification and is exculpated in a manner satisfactory to it from the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lenders with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided further, that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(c)        In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lenders (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

  (i)      the Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender, Swing Line Lender, Issuing Lender or holder of any other obligation other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship

 

136


between contracting parties); additionally, each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby;

  (ii)      where the Administrative Agent is required or deemed to act as a trustee in respect of any Collateral over which a security interest has been created pursuant to a Loan Document expressed to be governed by the laws of the United States, or is required or deemed to hold any Collateral “on trust” pursuant to the foregoing, the obligations and liabilities of the Administrative Agent to the Secured Parties in its capacity as trustee shall be excluded to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law; and

  (iii)      nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account;

(d)        The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related Persons. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Persons of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities pursuant to this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.

(e)        None of any Co-Documentation Agent, Co-Syndication Agent or any Lead Arranger shall have obligations or duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall incur no liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity, but all such persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder.

(f)        In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan, Swing Line Loans or any Reimbursement Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Parent Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i)        to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Disbursements and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.9, 2.15, 2.20, 3.3, and 10.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, the Swing Line Lender, each Issuing Lender and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the

 

137


Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender, the Issuing Lenders or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 10.5). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender, the Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender, the Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender, the Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender in any such proceeding.

(g)        The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lenders, and, except solely to the extent of the Parent Borrower’s rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary under any such provisions. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article.

Further, the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (A) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (C) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (D) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (E) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 5 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items (which on their face purport to be such items) expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the

(c)        Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) may treat the payee of any promissory note as its holder until such promissory note has been assigned in accordance with Section 10.6, (ii) may rely on the Register to the extent set forth in Section 10.6(b)(iv), (iii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrowers), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (iv) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender, the Swing Line Lender or any Issuing Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender, the Swing Line Lender or any Issuing Lender for any statements, warranties or representations made by or on behalf of any Loan Party in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) in determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Swing Line Lender or an Issuing Lender, may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender, Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender, Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender sufficiently in advance of the making of such Loan and/or Swing Line Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (vi) shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper party or parties (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).

9.3        Posting of Communications.

(a)        The Parent Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lenders by posting the Communications on IntraLinks™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).

139

Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York City or an Affiliate of any such bank. In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Parent Borrower (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing).

(c)        Any resignation by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.5(c) shall also constitute its resignation as the Swing Line Lender, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to make any further Swing Line Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Swing Line Lender with respect to any Swing Line Loans made by it prior to the date of such resignation. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder or upon the expiration of the thirty (30) day period following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation without a successor agent having been appointed, (i) such successor (if any) shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swing Line Lender, (ii) the retiring Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and (iii) the successor Swing Line Lender, in coordination with the Parent Borrower, shall make Swing Line Loans hereunder the proceeds of which shall be applied to the repayment of any outstanding Swing Line Loans of the retiring Swing Line Lender.

If any Issuing Lender resigns as Issuing Lender, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation.

(i)        Each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender, Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender, Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender, Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender (whether or not known to such Lender, Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender, Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender, Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender, Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(ii)        Each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment.

9.7        Collateral Matters.

(a)        Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.7 or with respect to a Secured Party’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof.

(b)        In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no arrangements in respect of cash management services, the obligations under which constitute Cash Management Obligations and Hedge Agreement the obligations under which constitute obligations under any Specified Hedge Agreement, will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under any Loan Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such arrangement in respect of Cash Management Obligations or Hedge Agreement, as applicable, shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.

(c)        The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.3. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders or any other Secured Party for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

9.8        Credit Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity

 

144


interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 10.1 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership interests, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

The Australian Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Primary Australian Lender) of the date on which the Australian Borrower proposes that such Refinancing Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments shall become effective, which shall be a date not

 

149


less than 10 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided that no such Refinancing Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments, and no amendments relating thereto, shall become effective, unless the Australian Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered documents of a type comparable to those described under clause (xi) of Section 2.25(b).

(f)        In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Agents, the Euro Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Refinancing Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments (as defined below), as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Euro Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to provide for the incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Obligations under this Agreement in the form of a new tranche of Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments hereunder (“Refinancing Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments”), which Refinancing Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments will be used to refinance all or any portion of the Revolving Commitments hereunder (“Refinanced Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments”); provided that (i) the aggregate amount of such Refinancing Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments shall not exceed the aggregate amount of such Refinanced Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments (plus accrued interest, fees, discounts, premiums and expenses), (ii) except as otherwise permitted by the definition of the term “Permitted Refinancing Obligations” (including with respect to maturity), all terms (other than with respect to pricing and fees, which terms shall be as agreed by the Euro Borrower and the applicable Euro Lenders) applicable to such Refinancing Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Refinancing Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments than, those applicable to such Refinanced Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments, other than for any covenants and other terms applicable solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date. Any New Euro Tranche Revolving Loans and Refinancing Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments that have the same terms shall constitute a single Tranche hereunder. The Euro Borrower shall notify the Agent of the date on which the Euro Borrower proposes that such Refinancing Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments shall become effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided that no such Refinancing Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments, and no amendments relating thereto, shall become effective, unless the Euro Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered documents of a type comparable to those described under clause (xi) of Section 2.25(b).

(g)        Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, if following the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower shall have jointly identified an ambiguity, mistake, omission, defect, or inconsistency, in each case, in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five Business Days following receipt of notice thereof; it being understood that posting such amendment electronically on IntraLinks/IntraAgency or another relevant website with notice of such posting by the Administrative Agent to the Required Lenders shall be deemed adequate receipt of notice of such amendment.

(h)        Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with Section 10.16.

provided that any notice, request or demand to or upon the Agents, the Lenders or the Parent Borrower shall not be effective until received.

(b)        Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Section 2 unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Agents or the Parent Borrower may, in its discretion,

 

151


agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

(c)        The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that (i) the Administrative Agent and/or the Lead Arrangers will make available to the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrowers hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (ii) certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive information other than information that is publicly available, or not material with respect to the Parent Borrower or its Subsidiaries, or their respective securities, for purposes of the United States Federal and state securities laws (collectively, “Public Information”). Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that is Public Information and that (w) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrowers shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as containing only Public Information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Confidential Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.14); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information”; provided that there is no requirement that the Borrowers identify any such information as “PUBLIC.”

(d)        THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of their Related Persons (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrowers, any Lender, the Swing Line Lender, any Issuing Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Parent Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet or notices through the Platform or any other electronic platform or electronic messaging service, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Agent Party or any of its Related Persons; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrowers, any Lender, the Swing Line Lender, any Issuing Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

(e)        Each Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, each Issuing Lender and the Primary Australian Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, each Issuing Lender and the Primary Australian Lender. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from

 

152


time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, telecopier number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Requirement of Law, including United States Federal securities laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain information other than Public Information.

(f)        The Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, the Issuing Lenders, the Primary Australian Lender and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices of borrowing) believed in good faith by the Administrative Agent to be given by or on behalf of the Borrowers even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

10.3        No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

(a)        No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

(b)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.1 for the benefit of all the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) each Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) each Issuing Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Issuing Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (iii) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.7(b) (subject to the terms of Section 10.7(a)), (iv) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law and (v) the Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

10.4        Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.

10.5        Payment of Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Except with respect to Taxes which are addressed in Section 2.20, each Borrower agrees (i) to pay or reimburse each Agent for all of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the syndication of the

 

153


Facilities (other than fees payable to syndicate members) and the development, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith and any amendment, supplement or modification thereto, and, as to the Agents only, the administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements and other charges of a single firm of counsel to the Agents (plus one firm of special regulatory counsel and one firm of local counsel per material jurisdiction as may reasonably be necessary in connection with collateral matters) in connection with all of the foregoing, (ii) to pay or reimburse each Lender and each Agent for all their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents referred to in Section 10.5(a)(i) above (including all such costs and expenses incurred in connection with any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or in connection with any workout or restructuring), including the documented fees and disbursements of a single firm of counsel and, if necessary, a single firm of special regulatory counsel and a single firm of local counsel per material jurisdiction as may reasonably be necessary, for the Agents and the Lenders, taken as a whole and, in the event of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the Agent or Lender affected by such conflict informs the Parent Borrower and thereafter retains its own counsel, one additional counsel for each Lender or Agent or group of Lenders or Agents subject to such conflict and (iii) to pay, indemnify or reimburse each Lender, each Agent, the Swing Line Lender, each Issuing Lender, each Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and their respective partners that are natural persons, members that are natural persons, officers, directors, employees, trustees, advisors, agents and controlling Persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) for, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, costs, expenses or disbursements arising out of any actions, judgments or suits of any kind or nature whatsoever, arising out of or in connection with any claim, action or proceeding relating to or otherwise with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents referred to in Section 10.5(a) above and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of the Parent Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Properties and the fees and disbursements and other charges of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against the Borrowers hereunder (all the foregoing in this clause (iii), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that, the Borrowers shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities have resulted from (A) the gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or material breach of the Loan Documents of such Indemnitee or its Related Persons as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision (or settlement tantamount thereto) or (B) any dispute solely among Indemnitees or their respective Related Persons other than claims against any agent or arranger in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as agent or arranger or any similar role in respect of the credit facilities provided hereunder and other than claims to the extent arising out of any act or omission on the part of the Parent Borrower or its Related Persons. For purposes hereof, a “Related Person” of an Indemnitee means (i) if the Indemnitee is any Agent or any of its Affiliates or their respective partners that are natural persons, members that are natural persons, officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling Persons, any of such Agent and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling Persons; provided that solely for purposes of Section 9, references to each Agent’s Related Persons shall also include such Agent’s trustees and advisors, and (ii) if the Indemnitee is any Lender or any of its Affiliates or their respective partners that are natural persons, members that are natural persons, officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling Persons, any of such Lender and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling Persons. All amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be payable promptly after receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor. Statements payable by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be submitted to the Parent Borrower at the address thereof set forth in Section 10.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Parent Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section 10.5

 

154


shall survive repayment of the Obligations.

(b)        To the extent permitted by applicable law (i) the Borrowers and any Loan Party shall not assert, and the Borrowers and each Loan Party hereby waive, any claim against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lead Arranger, any Issuing Lender, any Lender and any Swing Line Lender, and any Related Person of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called a “Lender-Related Person”) for any Liabilities arising from the use by others of information or other materials (including, without limitation, any personal data) obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), and (ii) no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any Liabilities against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this Section 10.5(b) shall relieve the Borrowers of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee, as provided in Section 10.5(a), against any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.

10.6        Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(a)        The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) subject to Sections 2.24 and 2.26(e), no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 10.6.

(b)        (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may, in compliance with applicable law, assign (other than to a natural person or to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates) to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”), all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A) the Parent Borrower; provided that no consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required for an assignment of (v) Term Loans to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (as defined below), (w) Revolving Commitments and/or Revolving Loans to a Revolving Lender, an Affiliate of a Revolving Lender or an Approved Fund of a Revolving Lender, in each case, who are capable of funding in each Alternative Currency within the time periods specified for borrowings of Revolving Loans hereunder, (x) Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments and/or Australian Tranche Revolving Loans to an Australian Lender, an Affiliate of an Australian Lender or an Approved Fund of an Australian Lender, in each case, who are capable of funding in Australian Dollars within the time periods specified for borrowings of Australian Tranche Revolving Loans hereunder, (y) Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments and/or Euro Tranche Revolving Loans to a Euro Lender, an Affiliate of a Euro Lender or an Approved Fund of a Euro Lender, in each case, who are capable of funding in Euros within the time periods specified for borrowings of Euro Tranche Revolving Loans hereunder or (z) any Loan or Commitment if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person and provided further, that a consent under this clause (A) shall be deemed given if the Parent Borrower shall not have objected in writing to a proposed assignment within ten Business Days after receipt by it of a written notice thereof from the Administrative Agent; and

(B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to (i) in the case of Term Loans, a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an

 

155


Approved Fund, (ii) in the case of Revolving Commitments and/or Revolving Loans, a Revolving Lender, (iii) in the case of any assignment of Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments and/or Australian Tranche Revolving Loans and (iv) in the case of Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments and/or Euro Tranche Revolving Loans, a Euro Lender;

 

  (C)

in the case of an assignment under the Revolving Facility, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender;

 

  (D)

in the case of an assignment under the Australian Tranche Revolving Facility, the Primary Australian Lender;

 

  (ii)

Subject to Sections 2.24 and 2.26(e), assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of (I) the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or (II) if earlier, the “trade date” (if any) specified in such Assignment and Assumption) shall not be less than (x) $5,000,000 (or the Alternative Currency Equivalent thereof), in the case of the Revolving Facility, Australian Tranche Revolving Facility and Euro Tranche Revolving Facility or (y) $1,000,000, in the case of the Term Facility, unless the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that (1) no such consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

(B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower (or, at the Parent Borrower’s request, manually) together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); provided that only one such fee shall be payable in the case of contemporaneous assignments to or by two or more related Approved Funds; and

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire and all applicable tax forms.

For the purposes of this Section 10.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (I) a Lender, (II) an Affiliate of a Lender, (III) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender or (IV) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that is the investment advisor to a Lender.

(iii)        Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be subject to the obligations under and entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20, 2.21, 10.5 and 10.14). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender

 

156


of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 10.6 (and will be required to comply therewith).

(iv)        The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement (and the entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error for such purposes), notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, the Swing Line Lender, the Issuing Lenders and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v)        Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee (except as contemplated by Sections 2.24 and 2.26(e)), the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and all applicable tax forms, the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and promptly record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c)        (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Person, in compliance with applicable law, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (and for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any natural person or to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates) (a “Participant”), in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders 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 a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 10.6, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 (if such Participant agrees to have related obligations thereunder) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6.

(ii)        A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.19 or 2.20 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant (except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation). No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20 unless such Participant complies with Section 2.20(d), (e) or (m), as (and to the extent) applicable, as if such Participant were a Lender.

(iii)        Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a register on which it enters the name and addresses of each Participant, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each

 

157


Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (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 this Agreement) except to the extent that the relevant parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, determine that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Proposed Treasury Regulations (or any amended or successor version). Unless otherwise required by the Internal Revenue Service, any disclosure required by the foregoing sentence shall be made by the relevant Lender directly and solely to the Internal Revenue Service. 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 (it its capacity as such) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d)        Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 10.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e)        The Borrowers, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agree to issue Notes to any Lender requiring the same (in the case of an assignment, following surrender by the assigning Lender of all Notes representing its assigned interests).

(f)        The Borrowers may prohibit any assignment if it would require the Borrowers to make any filing with any Governmental Authority or qualify any Loan or Note under the laws of any jurisdiction and the Borrowers shall be entitled to request and receive such information and assurances as it may reasonably request from any Lender or any Assignee to determine whether any such filing or qualification is required or whether any assignment is otherwise in accordance with applicable law.

(g)        [Reserved].

(h)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the replacement of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.24 or 2.26(e) shall be deemed an assignment pursuant to Section 10.6(b) and shall be valid and in full force and effect for all purposes under this Agreement.

10.7        Adjustments; Set off.

(a)        Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or Lenders or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by setoff, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8.1(f), or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Obligations, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Obligations, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

 

158


(b)        In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Parent Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Parent Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Parent Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) after the expiration of any cure or grace periods, to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding trust accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any Affiliate, branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the applicable Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.7 shall not prejudice or limit any rights of a Secured Party under any agreements in respect of Cash Management Obligations or Specified Hedge Agreement and this Section 10.7 shall not apply to any exercise of setoff under any Australian Facility Agreements.

executed signature page, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Borrowers and/or any Loan Party to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

10.9        Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.10        Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrowers, the Agents and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

10.11        GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT THAT THE SAME ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY STATUTE AND THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

(b)        consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in the New York Courts and appellate courts from either of them, and 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 court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

10.15    Release of Collateral and Guarantee Obligations; Subordination of Liens.

(a)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon request of the Parent Borrower (i) in connection with any Disposition of Property permitted by the Loan Documents or any Loan Party becoming an Excluded Guaranty Subsidiary or ceasing to be a Subsidiary, the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any Affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Specified Hedge Agreement or documentation in respect of Foreign Working Capital Obligations or Cash Management Obligations) execute and deliver all releases reasonably necessary or desirable to evidence the release of Liens created in any Collateral being Disposed of in such Disposition or of such Subsidiary, as applicable, and to provide notices of the termination of the assignment of any Property for which an assignment had been made pursuant to any of the Loan Documents which is being Disposed of in such Disposition or of such Subsidiary, as applicable, and to release any Guarantee Obligations under any Loan Document of any Person being Disposed of in such Disposition or which becomes an Excluded Guaranty Subsidiary or ceases to be a Subsidiary, as applicable and (ii) with respect to any Discretionary Obligor, upon notice by the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent at any time as a result of a single transaction or series of related transactions not prohibited hereunder; provided, that, the release of any Discretionary Obligor from its obligations under the Loan Guaranty shall constitute the incurrence or making, as applicable, at the time of release of any then-existing Investment, Indebtedness or Lien of such Discretionary Obligor, as applicable. Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Property so Disposed of (other than Property Disposed of to the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or of a Loan Party which becomes an Excluded Guaranty Subsidiary or ceases to be a Subsidiary, as applicable, shall no longer be deemed to be repeated once such Property is so Disposed of.

(b)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Obligations (other than (x) obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreement, Foreign Working Capital Obligations or Cash Management Obligations and (y) any contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) have been paid in full, all Commitments have terminated or expired and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding that is not cash collateralized or backstopped, upon the request of the Parent Borrower, the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any Affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Specified Hedge Agreement or documentation in respect of Foreign Working Capital Obligations or Cash Management Obligations) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all Guarantee Obligations under any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Obligations in respect of Specified Hedge Agreements, Foreign Working Capital Obligations or Cash Management Obligations or contingent or indemnification obligations not then due. Any such release of Guarantee Obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such Guarantee Obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or any Obligor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any Obligor or any substantial part of its Property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made; provided that, to the extent obligations remain outstanding under the Australian Facility Agreements, the security interest and Guarantee Obligations in respect of the Australian Obligations shall not be released without the consent of the Australian Lenders.

(c)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon request of the Parent Borrower in connection with any Liens permitted by the Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender) take such actions as shall be required to subordinate the Lien on any Collateral to any Lien permitted under Section 7.3.

10.16    Accounting Changes. In the event that any Accounting Change (as defined below) shall occur and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of financial ratios, standards or terms in this Agreement, then following notice either from the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent or from the Administrative Agent to the Parent Borrower (which the Administrative Agent shall give at the request of the Required Lenders), the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Parent Borrower’s financial condition shall be the same after such Accounting Changes as if such Accounting Changes had not been made. If any such notices are given then, unless the Parent Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that it would be unduly burdensome on the Parent Borrower to do so (as determined in good faith by the Parent Borrower, which determination shall be conclusive), regardless of whether such notice is given prior to or following such Accounting Change, until such time as such an amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders and have become effective, all financial ratios, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting Changes had not occurred. Any amendment contemplated by the prior sentence shall become effective upon the consent of the Required Lenders, it being understood that a Lender shall be deemed to have consented to and executed such amendment if such Lender has not objected in writing within five Business Days following receipt of notice of execution of the applicable amendment by the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, it being understood, that the posting of an amendment referred to in the preceding sentence electronically on IntraLinks/IntraAgency or another relevant website with notice of such posting by the Administrative Agent to the Required Lenders shall be deemed adequate receipt of notice of such amendment. “Accounting Changes” refers to changes in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or, if applicable, the SEC, in each case, occurring after the Closing Date, including any change to IFRS contemplated by the definition of “GAAP.”

10.17  WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

10.18    USA PATRIOT ACT. Each Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Publ. 107 56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “USA Patriot Act”) and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the USA Patriot Act and Beneficial Ownership Certification, and the Borrowers agree to provide such information from time to time to any Lender or Agent reasonably promptly upon request from such Lender or Agent.

10.19    Effect of Certain Inaccuracies. In the event that any financial statement delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(a) or (b) or any Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(b) is inaccurate, and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin or Applicable Commitment Fee Rate for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin or Applicable Commitment Fee Rate for such Applicable Period, then (i) promptly following the correction of such financial statement by the Parent Borrower, the Parent Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected financial statement and a corrected Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Applicable Margin or Applicable Commitment Fee Rate for the Test Period preceding the delivery of such corrected financial statement and Compliance Certificate shall be determined based on the corrected Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period and (iii) the Parent Borrower shall promptly pay to the

 

164


Administrative Agent the accrued additional interest or commitment fees owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin or Applicable Commitment Fee Rate for such Test Period. This Section 10.19 shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder, including under Section 8.1.

10.20    Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.20 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

10.21    Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers is made to the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, any Issuing Lender or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, such Issuing Lender or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

10.22    Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement, any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any Borrowing Notice, shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it.

10.23    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected 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 Affected 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 the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and

 

165


consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

10.24    Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a)        In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b)        As used in this Section 10.24, the following terms have the following meanings:

Correttezza delle relazioni tra intermediari e clienti) applicable to transactions and banking and financial services issued by Bank of Italy on 29 July 2009 and published in the Italian official gazette (Gazzetta Ufficiale) no. 217 on 18 September 2009 (as amended and supplemented from time to time) (the Transparency Rules), the Parties mutually acknowledge and declare that this agreement and any of its terms and conditions have been negotiated, with the assistance of their respective legal counsels, on an individual basis and, as a result, this agreement falls into the category of the agreements “che costituiscono oggetto di trattativa individuale” which are exempted from the application of Section II of the Transparency Rules.

10.26    Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from a Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s main New York City office on the Business Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of the Borrowers in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, the applicable Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 2.18, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to such Borrower.

LXXVII.        At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Event of Default, whether before or after the maturity of any of the Secured Obligations, the Collateral Agent may, acting at the direction of the Required Lenders, (i) revoke any or all of the rights of each Grantor set forth in clause (a), (ii) with two Business Days prior notice to the applicable Grantor, notify any parties obligated on any of the Collateral to make payment to the Collateral Agent of any amounts due or to become due thereunder and (iii) with two Business Days prior notice to the applicable Grantor, enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise and surrender, release, or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder or evidenced thereby.

LXXVIII.        Upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Event of Default, each Grantor will, at its own expense, promptly notify any parties obligated on any of the Collateral to make payment to the Collateral Agent of any amounts due or to become due thereunder.

Each Grantor covenants and agrees to comply with the following provisions as such provisions relate to any Intellectual Property Collateral (except for the tangible components of the Computer Hardware and Software Collateral) material to the operations or business of such Grantor:

(a) such Grantor will not, and will not knowingly permit any third party or licensee to, (i) do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of the Patent Collateral may lapse or become abandoned or dedicated to the public or unenforceable except upon expiration of the end of an unrenewable term of a registration thereof or as otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement, (ii) fail to maintain as in the past the quality of products and services offered under the Trademark Collateral, (iii) fail to employ the Trademark Collateral registered with any federal or state or foreign authority with an appropriate notice of such registration, (iv) do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of the Trademark Collateral may lapse or become invalid or unenforceable, or (v) do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of the Copyright Collateral or any of the Trade Secrets Collateral may lapse or become invalid or unenforceable or placed in the public domain except upon expiration of the end of an unrenewable term of a registration thereof, unless, in the case of any of the foregoing requirements in clauses (i) through (v), (x) such Grantor shall reasonably and in good faith determine that any of such Intellectual Property Collateral is of negligible economic value to such Grantor or (y) the loss of such Intellectual Property Collateral would not have a Material Adverse Effect;

(b) such Grantor shall not permit any third party or licensee to adopt or use any other Trademark which is confusingly similar or a colorable imitation of any of the Trademark Collateral unless, (x) such Grantor shall reasonably and in good faith determine that any of such Intellectual Property Collateral is of negligible economic value to such Grantor or (y) the loss of such Intellectual Property Collateral would not have a Material Adverse Effect;

(c) unless otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent if it knows that any application or registration relating to any material item of the Intellectual Property Collateral (except for the tangible components of the Computer Hardware and Software Collateral) has a reasonable likelihood of becoming abandoned or dedicated to the public or placed in the public domain or invalid or unenforceable, or of any adverse determination (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any Intellectual Property Collateral, its right to register the same or to keep and maintain and enforce the same;

(d) concurrently with the delivery of a Compliance Certificate pursuant to clause (b) of Section 6.2 of the Credit Agreement, each Grantor that has, since the date the Compliance Certificate was last delivered, (i) filed an application for the registration


                        23

 

of any Patent or Trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or (ii) received, as owner or exclusive licensee, a Copyright registration with the United States Copyright, in each case to the extent such Intellectual Property constitutes Collateral, shall inform the Administrative Agent, and upon request of the Administrative Agent, promptly execute and deliver an Intellectual Property Security Agreement substantially in the form set forth as Exhibits A, B and C hereto and other documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Intellectual Property Collateral;

(e) such Grantor will take all commercially reasonable steps, including in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office the United States Copyright Office, to maintain and pursue any application (and to obtain the relevant registration) filed with respect to, and to maintain any registration of, the Owned Intellectual Property Collateral, including the filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings and the payment of fees and taxes (except to the extent that dedication, abandonment or invalidation is permitted under the Credit Agreement or under the foregoing clause (a) or (b)); and

As to Letter-of-Credit Rights.

(a) Each Grantor, by granting a security interest in its Letter-of-Credit Rights to the Collateral Agent, intends to (and hereby does) collaterally assign to the Collateral Agent its rights (including its contingent rights ) to the Proceeds of all individual Letter- of-Credit Rights in excess of $2,000,000 of which it is or hereafter becomes a beneficiary or assignee. Such Grantor will promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the issuer of each such Letter of Credit and each nominated person (if any) with respect thereto to consent to such assignment of the Proceeds thereof in a consent agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and deliver written evidence of such consent to the Collateral Agent.

As to Commercial Tort Claims. Each Grantor covenants and agrees that, until the occurrence of the Termination Date, with respect to any Commercial Tort Claim in excess of $2,000,000 individually hereafter arising, it shall promptly deliver to the Collateral Agent a revised Item H of Schedule II identifying such new Commercial Tort Claims.

Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records. If any Grantor at any time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic chattel paper or any “transferable record,” as that term is


                         24

 

defined in Section 201 of the U.S. Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in Section 16 of the U.S. Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, with a value in excess of $2,000,000, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, at the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, shall take such action as the Administrative Agent may request to vest in the Collateral Agent control under Section 9-105 of the UCC of such electronic chattel paper or control under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record. The Collateral Agent agrees with such Grantor that the Collateral Agent will allow, pursuant to procedures reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and so long as such procedures will not result in the Collateral Agent’s loss of control, the Grantor to make alterations to the electronic chattel paper or transferable record permitted under Section 9-105 of the UCC or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the U.S. Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the U.S. Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to allow without loss of control, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by such Grantor with respect to such electronic chattel paper or transferable record.

Further Assurances, etc. Each Grantor agrees that, from time to time at its own expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that is necessary, in order to perfect, preserve and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral, except that with respect to Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights, such obligations are limited to the United States. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Grantor will

LXXX.        from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (i) promptly deliver to the Collateral Agent such stock powers, instruments and similar documents, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent, with respect to such Collateral as the Administrative Agent may request and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Specified Event of Default, transfer any securities constituting Collateral into the name of any nominee designated by the Collateral Agent; if any Collateral shall be evidenced by an Instrument, negotiable Document, Promissory Note or tangible Chattel Paper and such Collateral, individually, has a fair market value (as determined in good faith by an Authorized Officer of the applicable Grantor) in excess of $2,000,000, promptly deliver and pledge to the Collateral Agent hereunder such Instrument, negotiable Document, Promissory Note or tangible Chattel Paper duly endorsed and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent;

LXXXI.        file (and hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to file) such Filing Statements or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices (including any assignment of claim form under or pursuant to the federal assignment of claims statute, 31 U.S.C. § 3726, any successor or amended version thereof or any regulation promulgated under or


                        25

 

pursuant to any version thereof), as shall be necessary that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to perfect and preserve the security interests and other rights granted or purported to be granted to the Collateral Agent hereby;

LXXXII.        promptly deliver to the Collateral Agent and, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement and the requirements hereunder, at all times keep pledged to the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto, on a first-priority, perfected basis (subject to Permitted Liens), at the request of the Administrative Agent, all Investment Property constituting Collateral, all Dividends and Distributions with respect thereto, and all interest and principal with respect to Promissory Notes, and all Proceeds and rights from time to time received by or distributable to such Grantor in respect of any of the foregoing Collateral;

LXXXIII.        not take or omit to take any action the taking or the omission of which would result in any impairment or alteration of any obligation of the maker of any Payment Intangible or other Instrument constituting Collateral, except as provided in Section 4.4 or in the Credit Agreement;

LXXXIV.        upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, place a legend reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent indicating that the Collateral Agent has a security interest in any tangible Chattel Paper;

LXXXV.        furnish to the Collateral Agent, from time to time at the Administrative Agent’s reasonable request, statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail; and

LXXXVI.        comply with the reasonable requests of the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Security Agreement in order to enable the Collateral Agent to have and maintain control over the Collateral consisting of Investment Property, Deposit Accounts, Letter-of-Credit- Rights and Electronic Chattel Paper to the extent required herein.

With respect to the foregoing and the grant of the security interest hereunder, each Grantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral; and to make all relevant filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office in respect of the Intellectual Property Collateral, in each case naming the Collateral Agent as “Secured Party” (or other similar term). Each Grantor agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any UCC financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a UCC financing statement where permitted by law. Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing statements describing as the collateral covered thereby “all of the debtor’s personal property or assets”, “all assets”, “all personal property” or words to that effect,


                        26

 

notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the Collateral described in this Security Agreement.

Deposit Accounts. Promptly following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Event of Default, at the request of the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Administrative Agent), such Grantor will maintain all of its Deposit Accounts only with the Collateral Agent or with any depositary institution that has entered into a Control Agreement in favor of the Collateral Agent. Such Control Agreements shall permit the Collateral Agent (at the written instructions of the Administrative Agent) to deliver a notice of sole exclusive control during the continuance of an Event of Default. To the extent the Collateral Agent (at the written instructions of the Administrative Agent) has delivered a notice of sole control with respect to any such Deposit Accounts pursuant to a Control Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees promptly to notify (no later than 2 Business Days) all such depository banks that the notice of exclusive control has been rescinded and the applicable Grantor shall have the right to withdraw funds from such Deposit Account(s) following the cure or waiver of all Specified Event of Defaults.

THE COLLATERAL AGENT

Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Until the Termination Date, each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time as directed by the Administrative Agent, following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument which is necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, including:

LXXXVII.        with two Business Days prior notice to the applicable Grantor, to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;

LXXXVIII.        to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other Instruments, Documents and Chattel Paper, in connection with clause (a) above;

LXXXIX.        to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent with respect to any of the Collateral; and

XC.        to perform the affirmative obligations of such Grantor hereunder.

Each Grantor hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

Collateral Agent May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein and the Administrative Agent provides prior notice to such Grantor of such failure, within


                        27

 

three days of such notice, the Grantor shall perform, cause to be performed or agree to perform (and thereafter actually perform within seven days after such notice) such agreement, the Collateral Agent may (but shall have not obligation to) itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Grantor pursuant to Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement.

Collateral Agent Has No Duty. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest (on behalf of the Secured Parties) in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any such powers. Except for reasonable care of any Collateral in its possession, the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder and, except to the extent of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent or any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or responsibility for

XCI.        ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Investment Property, whether or not the Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or

XCII.        taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.

Reasonable Care. The Collateral Agent is required to exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession; provided that the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral, if (i) such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property or (ii) it takes such action for that purpose as each Grantor reasonably requests in writing at times other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Specified Event of Default, but failure of the Collateral Agent to comply with any such request at any time shall not in itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care.

Liability.

XCIII.        No provision of this Security Agreement shall require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral.

XCIV.        In no event shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Collateral Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

Force Majeure. In no event shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work


                        28

 

stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

REMEDIES

Certain Remedies. If any Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have given written notice to the relevant Grantor of the Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to this Section:

XCV.        The Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a Secured Party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may to the extent permitted by applicable law:

XCVI.        take possession of any Collateral not already in its possession without demand and without legal process;

XCVII.        require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will, at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties;

XCVIII.        enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof without demand and without legal process; and

XCIX.        without notice except as specified below and to the extent permitted by applicable law, lease, or license, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ prior notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.


                        29

 

C.        All cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement.

CI.        The Collateral Agent may:

CII.        transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee, with or without disclosing that such Collateral is subject to the Lien hereunder;

CIII.        with two Business Days prior notice to the applicable Grantor, notify the parties obligated on any of the Collateral to make payment to the Collateral Agent of any amount due or to become due thereunder;

CIV.        withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to the Collateral Account to repay the Secured Obligations or otherwise apply such funds in accordance with Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement;

CV.        enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise, and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any obligations of any nature of any party with respect thereto;

CVI.        endorse any checks, drafts, or other writings in any Grantor’s name to allow collection of the Collateral;

CVII.        take control of any proceeds of the Collateral; and

CVIII.        execute (in the name, place and stead of any Grantor) endorsements, assignments, stock powers and other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral;

CIX.        Without limiting the foregoing, in respect of the Intellectual Property Collateral:

CX.        upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an assignment or assignments of the Intellectual Property Collateral, subject (in the case of any licenses thereunder) to any valid and enforceable requirements to obtain consents from any third parties, and such other documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes hereof;

CXI.        the Administrative Agent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, (which right shall take precedence over any right or action of any Grantor) to file applications and maintain registrations for the protection of the Intellectual Property Collateral and/or bring suit in the name of such Grantor, the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to enforce the Intellectual Property Collateral and any


                        30

 

licenses thereunder and, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to assist with such filing or enforcement (including the execution of relevant documents);

CXII.        in the event that the Collateral Agent elects not to make any filing or bring any suit as set forth in clause (ii), such Grantor shall, upon the request of Collateral Agent, use all commercially reasonable efforts, whether through making appropriate filings or bringing suit or otherwise, to protect, enforce and prevent the infringement, misappropriation, dilution, unauthorized use or other violation of the Intellectual Property Collateral; and

CXIII.        for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to use, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located and the right to sue for past, present or future infringement of the Intellectual Property, to the extent that such license does not violate the express terms of any agreement between a Grantor and a third party governing the applicable Grantor’s use of such Intellectual Property Collateral, or gives such third party any right of acceleration, modification or cancelation therein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1, for the purposes of this Section 6.1, “Collateral” and “Intellectual Property Collateral” shall include any “intent to use” trademark application only to the extent (i) that the business of such Grantor, or portion thereof, to which that mark pertains is also included in the Collateral and (ii) that such business is ongoing and existing.

Securities Laws. If the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any of the Collateral that are Capital Securities pursuant to Section 6.1, each Grantor agrees that, upon request of the Administrative Agent, each Grantor will, at its own expense:

CXIV.        use commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver, and cause (or, with respect to any issuer which is not a Subsidiary of such Grantor, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause) each issuer of the Collateral contemplated to be sold and the directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, advisable to register such Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time amended (the “Securities Act”), and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are required by law to be furnished, and to make all amendments and supplements thereto and to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the


                        31

 

Administrative Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable thereto;

CXV.        use its commercially reasonable efforts to exempt the Collateral under the state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and to obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale of the Collateral, as requested by the Administrative Agent;

CXVI.        cause (or, with respect to any issuer that is not a Subsidiary of such Grantor, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause) each such issuer to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act; and

CXVII.        do or use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.

Each Grantor acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of damages that would be suffered by the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties by reason of the failure by such Grantor to perform any of the covenants contained in this Section and consequently agrees that, if such Grantor shall fail to perform any of such covenants, it shall pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the value (as determined by the Collateral Agent) of such Collateral on the date the Collateral Agent shall demand compliance with this Section.

Compliance with Restrictions. Each Grantor agrees that in any sale of any of the Collateral whenever a Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable law (including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any Governmental Authority or official, and such Grantor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Collateral Agent be liable nor accountable to such Grantor for any discount allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.

Protection of Collateral. The Collateral Agent may from time to time, at the direction of the Administrative Agent, perform any act which any Grantor fails, within three days following the request by the Collateral Agent, to perform or agree to perform (and thereafter actually perform within seven days following notice of requested performance) (it being understood that no such request need be given after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified


                         32

 

Event of Default) and the Collateral Agent may from time to time take any other action which the Administrative Agent deems necessary for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest therein.

Section 3.2       Agent for Perfection.

Such Agent shall not have any obligation whatsoever to the other Secured Parties to assure that such Cash Collateral and Control Collateral is genuine or owned by any Credit Party or any other Person or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person therein. The duties or responsibilities of such under this Section 3.2 are and shall be limited solely to holding or maintaining control of such Cash Collateral and Control Collateral as agent for the other Parties for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by the Secured Parties. Such Agent is not and shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary of any kind for any Secured Party or any other Person. Each Credit Party shall deliver all Control Collateral when required to be

 

C-26-


delivered pursuant to the Credit Documents to (x) until the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations, the Senior Priority Representative and (y) thereafter, the Junior Priority Representative.

(b)       In the event that any Secured Party receives any Collateral or Proceeds of the Collateral in violation of the terms of this Agreement, then such Secured Party shall promptly pay over such Proceeds or Collateral to (x) until the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations, the Senior Priority Representative, in the same form as received with any necessary endorsements, for application in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1, and (y) thereafter, the Junior Priority Representative, in the same form as received with any necessary endorsements, for application in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1.

In the event that any Senior Priority Agent shall, in the exercise of its rights under the applicable Senior Priority Collateral Documents or otherwise, receive possession or control of any books and records of any Senior Priority Credit Party that contain information identifying or pertaining to the Collateral, such Agent shall, upon request from any other Senior Priority Agent, and as promptly as practicable thereafter, either make available to such Agent such books and records for inspection and duplication or provide to such Agent copies thereof.

Section 3.4       Insurance. Proceeds of Collateral include insurance proceeds and, therefore, the Lien Priority shall govern the ultimate disposition of casualty insurance proceeds. The Senior Priority Representative shall be named as additional insured or loss payee, as applicable, with respect to all insurance policies relating to Collateral.

If any Junior Priority Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, commences or participates in any action or proceeding against the Credit Parties or the Collateral, the Credit Parties, with the prior written consent of the Senior Priority Representative, may interpose as a defense or dilatory plea the making of this Agreement, and any Senior Priority Secured Party may intervene and interpose such defense or plea in its own name or in the name of the Credit Parties.

C-27-


itself and each Junior Priority Creditor represented thereby, waives any defense that the Senior Priority Secured Parties cannot demonstrate damage or be made whole by the awarding of damages.

(g)         Reinstatement and Continuation of Agreement. If any Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise

 

C-34-


pay to the estate of any Credit Party or any other Person any payment made in satisfaction of all or any portion of the Senior Priority Obligations (a “Senior Priority Recovery”), then the Senior Priority Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Senior Priority Recovery. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Senior Priority Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect in the event of such Senior Priority Recovery, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the Parties from such date of reinstatement.

No priority or right of any Senior Priority Agent or any Senior Priority Creditor shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by any act or failure to act on the part of any Borrower or any Guarantor or by the noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions, or covenants of any of the Senior Priority Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any Senior Priority Agent or any Senior Priority Creditor may have.

INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS

Section 6.1         DIP Financing.

(a)       If any Credit Party shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding in the United States at any time prior to the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations, and any Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditors shall seek to provide any Credit Party with, or consent to a third party providing, any financing under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or consent to any order for the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (“DIP Financing”), with such DIP Financing to be secured by all or any portion of the Collateral (including assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code would be Collateral), then each Junior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that (subject to the provisions of Section 6.9 hereof) it will raise no objection and will not directly or indirectly support or act in concert with any other party in raising an objection to such DIP Financing or to the Liens securing the same on the grounds of a failure to provide “adequate protection” for the Liens of such Junior Priority Agent securing the applicable Junior Priority Obligations or on any other grounds (and will not request any adequate protection solely as a result of such DIP Financing, except as otherwise set forth herein), and, to the extent the Liens securing the Senior Priority Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with the Liens securing such DIP Financing, will subordinate its Liens on the Collateral to (i) the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto), (ii) any adequate protection liens provided to the Senior Priority Creditors, and (iii) any “carve-out” for professional or United States Trustee fees agreed to by the Senior Priority Agent, so long as (x) such Junior Priority Agent retains its Lien on the Collateral to secure the applicable Junior Priority Obligations (in each case, including Proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code), (y) all Liens on Collateral securing any such DIP Financing are senior to or on a parity with the Liens of the Senior Priority Agents and the Senior Priority Creditors on the Collateral securing the Senior Priority Obligations and (z) if any Senior Priority Agent receives an adequate protection Lien on post-petition assets of the debtor to secure the Senior Priority Obligations, each Junior Priority Agent also receives an adequate protection Lien on such post-petition assets of the debtor to secure the Junior Priority Obligations (which Lien shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(c)), provided that the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1(a) shall not prevent any Junior Priority Agent or Junior Priority Creditor from objecting to any provision in any DIP Financing relating to any provision or content of a plan of reorganization.

 

C-35-


(b)         If any Credit Party shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding in the United States at any time prior to the Discharge of [November] 2021 First Lien Obligations, and the [November] 2021 First Lien Agent or [November] 2021 First Lien Creditors shall seek to provide any Credit Party with, or consent to a third party providing, any DIP Financing, with such DIP Financing to be secured by all or any portion of the Collateral (including assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code would be Collateral), then each other Senior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that (subject to the provisions of Section 6.9 hereof) it will raise no objection and will not directly or indirectly support or act in concert with any other party in raising an objection to such DIP Financing or to the Liens securing the same on the grounds of a failure to provide “adequate protection” for the Liens of such Senior Priority Agent securing the applicable Senior Priority Obligations or on any other grounds (and will not request any adequate protection solely as a result of such DIP Financing, except as otherwise set forth herein), and, to the extent the Liens securing the [November] 2021 First Lien Obligations are (1) subordinated to the Liens securing such DIP Financing, will subordinate its Liens on the Collateral to (i) the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto), and (ii) any “carve-out” for professional or United States Trustee fees agreed to by the [November] 2021 First Lien Agent, so long as (x) such Senior Priority Agent retains its Lien on the Collateral to secure the applicable Senior Priority Obligations (in each case, including Proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code), (y) all Liens on Collateral securing any such DIP Financing are senior to the Liens of the [November] 2021 First Lien Agent and the [November] 2021 First Lien Creditors on the Collateral securing the [November] 2021 First Lien Obligations and (z) if the [November] 2021 First Lien Agent receives an adequate protection Lien on post-petition assets of the debtor to secure the [November] 2021 First Lien Obligations, each other Senior Priority Agent also receives an adequate protection Lien on such post-petition assets of the debtor to secure the Senior Priority Obligations (which Lien shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(c)) or (2) pari passu to the Liens securing such DIP Financing, will confirm that such DIP Financing (and obligations related thereto) and any “carve-out” for professional or United States Trustee fees agreed to by the [November] 2021 First Lien Agent shall be treated as if they constituted “Senior Priority Obligations” hereunder with the Liens securing the foregoing obligations subject to the Lien priority set forth herein (including pursuant to Section 2.1), so long as (x) such Senior Priority Agent retains its Lien on the Collateral to secure the applicable Senior Priority Obligations (in each case, including Proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code), (y) all Liens on Collateral securing any such DIP Financing are pari passu to the Liens of the [November] 2021 First Lien Agent and the [November] 2021 First Lien Creditors on the Collateral securing the [November] 2021 First Lien Obligations and (z) if the [November] 2021 First Lien Agent receives an adequate protection Lien on post-petition assets of the debtor to secure the [November] 2021 First Lien Obligations, each other Senior Priority Agent also receives an adequate protection Lien on such post-petition assets of the debtor to secure the Senior Priority Obligations (which Lien shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(c)); provided that the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1(b) shall not prevent any Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor from objecting to any provision in any DIP Financing relating to any provision or content of a plan of reorganization.

(c)         All Liens granted to any Senior Priority Agent or Junior Priority Agent in any Insolvency Proceeding, whether as adequate protection or otherwise, are intended by the Parties to be and shall be deemed to be subject to the Lien Priority and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not alter the super-priority of any Liens securing any DIP Financing in accordance with this Section 6.1.

Section 6.2         Relief from Stay. Until the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations, each Junior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees not to (i) seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any portion of the Collateral without each Senior Priority Agent’s express written consent, or (ii) raise any objection or directly or indirectly support any objection to any motion for relief from the automatic stay or

 

C-36-


from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of claims made by any Senior Priority Agent or any holder of Senior Priority Obligations.

Section 6.3         No Contest. Each Junior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that, prior to the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations, none of them shall contest (or directly or indirectly support any other Person contesting) (i) any request by any Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor for adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(a)), or (ii) any objection by any Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim by such Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor that its interests in the Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(a)) are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so long as any Liens granted to such Senior Priority Agent as adequate protection of its interests are subject to this Agreement. Except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by and between or among any applicable Senior Priority Agents, in each case on behalf of itself and any Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby, any Senior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and any Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that, prior to the applicable Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations, none of them shall contest (or directly or indirectly support any other Person contesting) (a) any request by any other Senior Priority Agent or any Senior Priority Creditor represented by such other Senior Priority Agent for adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral, or (b) any objection by such other Senior Priority Agent or any Senior Priority Creditor to any motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on a claim by such other Senior Priority Agent or any Senior Priority Creditor represented by such other Senior Priority Agent that its interests in the Collateral are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so long as any Liens granted to such other Senior Priority Agent as adequate protection of its interests are subject to this Agreement. Except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by and between or among any applicable Junior Priority Agents, in each case on behalf of itself and any Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, any Junior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and any Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that, prior to the applicable Discharge of Junior Priority Obligations, none of them shall contest (or directly or indirectly support any other Person contesting) (a) any request by any other Junior Priority Agent or any Junior Priority Creditor represented by such other Junior Priority Agent for adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral, or (b) any objection by such other Junior Priority Agent or any Junior Priority Creditor to any motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on a claim by such other Junior Priority Agent or any Junior Priority Creditor represented by such other Junior Priority Agent that its interests in the Collateral are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so long as any Liens granted to such other Junior Priority Agent as adequate protection of its interests are subject to this Agreement.

Section 6.4         Asset Sales. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 6.4, each Junior Priority Agent agrees, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, that it will not oppose any sale consented to or not otherwise opposed by the Senior Priority Agents of any Collateral pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under the law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding) so long as (i) the Senior Priority Agent or the Senior Priority Creditors do not request in the applicable motion to approve such sale a waiver of the rights of the Junior Priority Creditors under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Collateral and (ii) the proceeds of such sale are applied in accordance with this Agreement, or if not so applied, the Liens of the Junior Priority Agent in such Collateral shall attach to the proceeds of such disposition relative to the Liens of the Senior Priority Creditors as its Liens in such Collateral.

Section 6.5         Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Senior Priority Collateral Documents and the Junior Priority Collateral Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Senior Priority Obligations are

 

C-37-


fundamentally different from the Junior Priority Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the Senior Priority Secured Parties, on the one hand, and the Junior Priority Secured Parties, on the other hand, in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of Senior Priority Obligation claims and Junior Priority Obligation claims against the Credit Parties, with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Junior Priority Secured Parties), the Senior Priority Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees, and expenses, that are available from the Collateral for each of the Senior Priority Secured Parties (irrespective of whether a claim for such amounts is allowed or allowable in such Insolvency Proceeding), before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Junior Priority Secured Parties, with the Junior Priority Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Senior Priority Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries. The foregoing sentence is subject to any separate agreement by and between any Additional Agent, on behalf of itself and the Additional Credit Facility Creditors represented thereby, and any other Agent, on behalf of itself and the Creditors represented thereby, with respect to the Obligations owing to any such Additional Agent and Additional Credit Facility Creditors.

Section 6.6         Enforceability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable as a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 6.7         Senior Priority Obligations Unconditional. All rights of any Senior Priority Agent hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the other Senior Priority Agents, the Junior Priority Agents and the Credit Parties (to the extent applicable) hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a)         any lack of validity or enforceability of any Senior Priority Document;

(b)         any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any portion of the Senior Priority Obligations, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of any Senior Priority Document;

(c)         any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or non perfection of any security interest in any Collateral or any other collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding, restatement or increase of all or any portion of the Senior Priority Obligations or any guarantee or guaranty thereof;

(d)         the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of the Borrower or any other Credit Party; or

(e)         any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party in respect of the Senior Priority Obligations, or of any of the Junior Priority Agent or any Credit Party, to the extent applicable, in respect of this Agreement.

Section 6.8         Junior Priority Obligations Unconditional. All rights of any Junior Priority Agent hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the Senior Priority Agents, the other Junior Priority Agents

 

C-38-


and the Credit Parties (to the extent applicable) hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a)         any lack of validity or enforceability of any Junior Priority Document;

(b)         any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any portion of the Junior Priority Obligations, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of any Junior Priority Document;

(c)         any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or non perfection of any security interest in any Collateral, or any other collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding, restatement or increase of all or any portion of the Junior Priority Obligations or any guarantee or guaranty thereof;

(d)         the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any Credit Party; or

(e)         any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party in respect of the Junior Priority Obligations, or of any of the Senior Priority Agent or any Credit Party, to the extent applicable, in respect of this Agreement.

Section 6.9         Adequate Protection. Except to the extent expressly provided in Section 6.1 and this Section 6.9, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the rights of any Agent and the Secured Parties represented thereby from seeking or requesting adequate protection with respect to their interests in the applicable Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding, including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments, cash payments of interest, fees, or expenses, or additional or replacement collateral, claims, or otherwise; provided that (a) in the event that any Junior Priority Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of the Junior Priority Obligations and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional or replacement collateral comprising assets of the type of assets that constitute Collateral, then each Junior Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that each Senior Priority Agent shall also be granted a senior Lien on such collateral as security for the Senior Priority Obligations and that any Lien on such collateral securing the Junior Priority Obligations shall be subordinate to any Lien on such collateral securing the Senior Priority Obligations; (b) in the event that any Senior Priority Agent, for or on behalf of itself or any Senior Priority Creditor represented thereby, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of the Senior Priority Obligations and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional or replacement collateral comprising assets of the type of assets that constitute Collateral, then such Senior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that each other Senior Priority Agent shall also be granted a pari passu Lien on such collateral as security for the Senior Priority Obligations owing to such other Senior Priority Agent and the Senior Priority Secured Parties represented thereby, and that any such Lien on such collateral securing such Senior Priority Obligations shall be pari passu to each such other Lien on such collateral securing such other Senior Priority Obligations; and (c) in the event that any Junior Priority Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of the Junior Priority Obligations and such adequate protection is granted in the form of a superpriority administrative expense claim, including a claim arising under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, then each Junior Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that that each Senior Priority Agent shall also be granted a superpriority administrative expense claim, which shall be senior in all respects to any such superpriority administrative expense claim granted to the Junior Priority Agent with respect to the Collateral. Each Senior Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and the Senior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that it will not raise

 

C-39-


or directly or indirectly support any objection to the granting of any adequate protection to any Junior Priority Agent in the form of a junior Lien or superpriority administrative expense claim that is consistent with the terms of this Section 6.9.

Section 6.10         Reorganization Securities and Other Plan-Related Issues.

(a)         If, in any Insolvency Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, on account of claims of the Senior Priority Creditors and/or on account of claims of the Junior Priority Creditors, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of claims of the Senior Priority Creditors and/or on account of claims of the Junior Priority Creditors are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

(b)         Each Junior Priority Agent and the other Junior Priority Creditors (whether in the capacity of a secured creditor or an unsecured creditor) shall not propose, vote in favor of, or otherwise directly or indirectly support any plan of reorganization that is inconsistent with the priorities or other provisions of this Agreement, other than with the prior written consent of the Senior Priority Agent or to the extent any such plan is proposed or supported by the number of Senior Priority Creditors required under Section 1126(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(c)         Each Senior Priority Agent and the other Senior Priority Creditors (whether in the capacity of a secured creditor or an unsecured creditor) shall not propose, vote in favor of, or otherwise directly or indirectly support any plan of reorganization that is inconsistent with the priorities or other provisions of this Agreement, other than with the prior written consent of each other Senior Priority Agent.

Section 6.11         Certain Waivers.

(a)         The Junior Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior Priority Creditors, waives any claim any Junior Priority Creditor may hereafter have against any Senior Priority Creditor arising out of the election by any Senior Priority Creditor of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law.

(b)         The Junior Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Junior Priority Creditors, agrees that none of them shall (i) object, contest, or directly or indirectly support any other Person objecting to or contesting, any request by the Senior Priority Agent or any of the other Senior Priority Creditors for the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts to the Senior Priority Agent or any other Senior Priority Creditor under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, or (ii) assert or directly or indirectly support any claim against any Senior Priority Creditor for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law.

(c)         So long as the Senior Priority Agent and holders of the Senior Priority Obligations shall have received and continue to receive all accrued post-petition Interest, default interest, premiums, fees or expenses with respect to the Senior Priority Obligations, neither the Senior Priority Agent nor any other holder of Senior Priority Obligations shall object to, oppose, or challenge any claim by the Junior Priority Agent or any holder of Junior Priority Obligations for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding of Junior Priority Obligations consisting of postpetition interest, default interest, premiums, fees, or expenses.

Section 7.1         Rights of Subrogation. Each Junior Priority Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Creditors represented thereby, agrees that no payment by such Junior Priority Agent or any such Junior Priority Creditor to any Senior Priority Agent or Senior Priority Creditor pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle such Junior Priority Agent or Junior Priority Creditor to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations shall have occurred. Following the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations, each Senior Priority Agent agrees to execute such documents, agreements, and instruments as any Junior Priority Agent or Junior Priority Creditor may reasonably request to evidence the transfer by subrogation to any such Person of an interest in the Senior Priority Obligations resulting from payments to such Senior Priority Agent by such Person, so long as all costs and expenses (including all reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in connection therewith by such Senior Priority Agent are paid by such Person upon request for payment thereof.

Section 7.2         Further Assurances. The Parties will, at their own expense and at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that any Party may reasonably request, in order to protect any right or interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable such Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder; provided, however, that no Party shall be required to pay over any payment or distribution, execute any instruments or documents, or take any other action referred to in this Section 7.2, to the extent that such action would contravene any law, order or other legal requirement or any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, and in the event of a controversy or dispute, such Party may interplead any payment or distribution in any court of competent jurisdiction, without further responsibility in respect of such payment or distribution under this Section 7.2.

C-41-


Creditor ever becomes a Party or beneficiary hereof), and (2) the Company and the [November] 2021 First Lien Agent may, without the consent of any other Party hereto, amend this Agreement to delete Section 6.1(b). Any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement that would have the effect, directly or indirectly, through any reference in any Credit Document to this Agreement or otherwise, of waiving, amending, supplementing or otherwise modifying such Credit Document, or any term or provision thereof, or any right or obligation of any Credit Party thereunder or in respect thereof, in each case in a manner adverse to such Credit Party, shall not be given such effect except pursuant to a written instrument executed by each affected Credit Party. Any amendment, modification or waiver of clause (b) in any of the definitions of the terms “Additional Credit Facilities,” “[November] 2021 First Lien Credit Agreement” and “[    ]1 [First/Second]2 Lien Credit Agreement” shall not be given effect except pursuant to a written instrument executed by the Borrower.

(b)         In the event that any Senior Priority Agent or the requisite Senior Priority Creditors enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of or replace any Senior Priority Collateral Document for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Senior Priority Collateral Document relating to the Collateral or changing in any manner the rights of the Senior Priority Agent, the Senior Priority Creditors, or any Credit Party with respect to the Collateral (including, subject to Section 2.4(b), the release of any Liens on Collateral), then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each Junior Priority Collateral Document without the consent of or any actions by any Junior Priority Agent or any Junior Priority Creditors. The applicable Senior Priority Agent shall give written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent to the Junior Priority Agents; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or consent with respect to the provisions of any Junior Priority Collateral Document as set forth in this Section 7.4(b).

Section 7.7         Continuing Agreement, Transfer of Secured Obligations. This Agreement is a continuing agreement and shall (a) remain in full force and effect (x) with respect to all Senior Priority Secured Parties and Senior Priority Obligations, until the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations shall have occurred, subject to Section 5.3 and (y) with respect to all Junior Priority Secured Parties and Junior Priority Obligations, until the later of the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations and the Discharge of Junior Priority Obligations, (b) be binding upon the Parties and their successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Nothing herein is intended, or shall be construed to give, any other Person any right, remedy or claim under, to or in respect of this Agreement or any Collateral, subject to Section 7.10. All references to any Credit Party shall include any Credit Party as debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Credit Party in any Insolvency Proceeding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Senior Priority Agent, Senior Priority Creditor, Junior Priority Agent or Junior Priority Creditor may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Senior Priority Obligations or the Junior Priority Obligations, as applicable, to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the rights and obligations in respect thereof granted to such Senior Priority Agent, Junior Priority Agent, Senior Priority Creditor or Junior Priority Creditor, as the case may be, herein or otherwise. The Senior Priority Secured Parties and the Junior Priority Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to the other Parties hereto, to extend credit and other financial accommodations, lend monies and provide Indebtedness to, or for the benefit of, any Credit Party on the faith hereof.

Section 7.8         Governing Law; Entire Agreement. The validity, performance, and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto.

Section 7.9         Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and it is not necessary that the signatures of all Parties be contained on any one counterpart hereof; each counterpart will be deemed to be an original, and all together shall constitute one and the same document.

Section 7.10         No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Senior Priority Agents, the Senior Priority Creditors, the Junior Priority Agents and the Junior Priority Creditors, except as provided in the following sentence.

C-43-


party beneficiary of this Agreement, except that each Credit Party shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement solely for the purposes of Sections 7.4 and 7.11.

Section 7.11         Designation of Additional Indebtedness; Joinder of Additional Agents.

(a)         The Borrower may designate any Additional Indebtedness complying with the requirements of the definition thereof as Additional Indebtedness for purposes of this Agreement, upon complying with the following conditions:

(i)         one or more Additional Agents for one or more Additional Creditors in respect of such Additional Indebtedness shall have executed the Additional Indebtedness Joinder with respect to such Additional Indebtedness, and the [November] 2021 First Lien Borrower or any such Additional Agent shall have delivered such executed Additional Indebtedness Joinder to the [November] 2021 First Lien Agent, the [     ]1 [First/Second]2 Lien Agent and any other Additional Agent then party to this Agreement;

(ii)         at least five Business Days (unless a shorter period is agreed in writing by the Parties and the [November] 2021 First Lien Borrower) prior to delivery of the Additional Indebtedness Joinder, the [November] 2021 First Lien Borrower shall have delivered to the [November] 2021 First Lien Agent, the [     ]1 [First/Second]2 Lien Agent and any other Additional Agent then party to this Agreement complete and correct copies of any Additional Credit Facility, Additional Guaranties and Additional Collateral Documents that will govern such Additional Indebtedness upon giving effect to such designation (which may be unexecuted copies of Additional Documents to be executed and delivered concurrently with the effectiveness of such designation);

(iii)         the [November] 2021 First Lien Borrower shall have executed and delivered to the [November] 2021 First Lien Agent, the [     ]1 [First/Second]2 Lien Agent and any other Additional Agent then party to this Agreement the Additional Indebtedness Designation (including whether such Additional Indebtedness is designated Senior Priority Debt or Junior Priority Debt) with respect to such Additional Indebtedness;

(iv)         all state and local stamp, recording, filing, intangible and similar taxes or fees (if any) that are payable in connection with the inclusion of such Additional Indebtedness under this Agreement shall have been paid and reasonable evidence thereof shall have been given to the [November] 2021 First Lien Agent, the [     ]1 [First/Second]2 Lien Agent and any other Additional Agent then party to this Agreement; and

(v)         no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

No Additional Indebtedness may be designated both Senior Priority Debt and Junior Priority Debt.

(b)         Upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the preceding Section 7.11(a), the designated Additional Indebtedness shall constitute “Additional Indebtedness”, any Additional Credit Facility under which such Additional Indebtedness is or may be incurred shall constitute an “Additional Credit Facility”, any holder of such Additional Indebtedness or other applicable Additional Creditor shall constitute an “Additional Creditor”, and any Additional Agent for any such Additional Creditor shall constitute an “Additional Agent” for all purposes under this Agreement. The date on which such conditions specified in clause (a) shall have been satisfied with respect to any Additional Indebtedness is herein called the “Additional Effective Date” with respect to such Additional Indebtedness. Prior to the Additional Effective Date with respect to any Additional Indebtedness, all references herein to Additional Indebtedness shall be deemed not to take into account such Additional Indebtedness, and the rights and obligations of the [November] 2021 First Lien Agent, the [    ]1 [First/Second]2 Lien Agent and each other Additional Agent

 

C-44-


then party to this Agreement shall be determined on the basis that such Additional Indebtedness is not then designated. On and after the Additional Effective Date with respect to such Additional Indebtedness, all references herein to Additional Indebtedness shall be deemed to take into account such Additional Indebtedness, and the rights and obligations of the [November] 2021 First Lien Agent, the [     ]1 [First/Second]2 Lien Agent and each other Additional Agent then party to this Agreement shall be determined on the basis that such Additional Indebtedness is then designated.

(c)         In connection with any designation of Additional Indebtedness pursuant to this Section 7.11, each of the [November] 2021 First Lien Agent, the [     ]1 [First/Second]2 Lien Agent and each Additional Agent then party hereto agrees (x) to execute and deliver any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to, any [November] 2021 First Lien Collateral Documents, [     ]1 [First/Second]2 Lien Collateral Documents or Additional Collateral Documents, as applicable, and any agreements relating to any security interest in Control Collateral, Cash Collateral, Senior Priority Common Mortgaged Collateral and Junior Priority Common Mortgaged Collateral, and to make or consent to any filings or take any other actions, as may be reasonably deemed by the Borrower to be necessary or reasonably desirable for any Lien on any Collateral to secure such Additional Indebtedness to become a valid and perfected Lien (with the priority contemplated by the applicable Additional Indebtedness Designation delivered pursuant to this Section 7.11 and by this Agreement), and (y) otherwise to reasonably cooperate to effectuate a designation of Additional Indebtedness pursuant to this Section 7.11 (including, without limitation, if requested, by executing an acknowledgment of any Additional Indebtedness Joinder or of the occurrence of any Additional Effective Date).

Section 7.12         Senior Priority Representative; Notice of Senior Priority Representative Change. The Senior Priority Representative shall act for the Senior Priority Secured Parties as provided in this Agreement, and shall be entitled to so act from time to time. Until a Party (other than the existing Senior Priority Representative) receives written notice from the existing Senior Priority Representative, in accordance with Section 7.5, of a change in the identity of the Senior Priority Representative, such Party shall be entitled to act as if the existing Senior Priority Representative is in fact the Senior Priority Representative. Each Party (other than the existing Senior Priority Representative) shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice of a change in the identity of the Senior Priority Representative which facially appears to be from the then existing Senior Priority Representative and is delivered in accordance with Section 7.5 and such Agent shall not be required to inquire into the veracity or genuineness of such notice. Each existing Senior Priority Representative from time to time agrees to give prompt written notice to each Party of any change in the identity of the Senior Priority Representative.

Section 7.13         Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. The provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Senior Priority Secured Parties and the Junior Priority Secured Parties, respectively. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the rights of any Credit Party, or the obligations of any Credit Party to pay any [November] 2021 First Lien Obligations, any [    ]1 [First/Second]2 Lien Obligations and any Additional Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms.

Section 7.14         Headings. The headings of the articles and sections of this Agreement are inserted for purposes of convenience only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.

Section 7.15         Severability. If any of the provisions in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement and shall not invalidate the Lien Priority or the application of Proceeds and other priorities set forth in this Agreement.

 

C-45-


Section 7.16         Attorneys’ Fees. The Parties agree that if any dispute, arbitration, litigation, or other proceeding is brought with respect to the enforcement of this Agreement or any provision hereof, the prevailing party in such dispute, arbitration, litigation, or other proceeding shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other costs and expenses incurred in the enforcement of this Agreement, irrespective of whether suit is brought.

Section 7.17         VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER.

(a)         EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT TO THE EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK FOR THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK (THE “NEW YORK SUPREME COURT”), AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK (THE “FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT,” AND TOGETHER WITH THE NEW YORK SUPREME COURT, THE “NEW YORK COURTS”) AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM EITHER OF THEM; PROVIDED THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE (I) ANY AGENT FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS (IN WHICH CASE ANY PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO ASSERT ANY CLAIM OR DEFENSE, INCLUDING ANY CLAIM OR DEFENSE THAT THIS SECTION 7.17 WOULD OTHERWISE REQUIRE TO BE ASSERTED IN A LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN A NEW YORK COURT), OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF ANY AGENT, (II) ANY PARTY FROM BRINGING ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION FOR THE RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT AND (III) IF ALL SUCH NEW YORK COURTS DECLINE JURISDICTION OVER ANY PERSON, OR DECLINE (OR IN THE CASE OF THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT, LACK) JURISDICTION OVER ANY SUBJECT MATTER OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING, A LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT WITH RESPECT THERETO IN ANOTHER COURT HAVING JURISDICTION.

(b)         EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 7.17 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

(c)         EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 7.5. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

Section 7.18         Intercreditor Agreement. This Agreement is the Intercreditor Agreement referred to in the [November] 2021 First Lien Credit Agreement, the [    ]1 [First/Second]2 Lien Credit Agreement and each Additional Credit Facility. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to subordinate the right of any Junior Priority Secured Party to receive payment to the right of any Senior Priority Secured Party

 

C-46-


(whether before or after the occurrence of an Insolvency Proceeding), it being the intent of the Parties that this Agreement shall effectuate a subordination of Liens as between the Senior Priority Secured Parties, on the one hand, and the Junior Priority Secured Parties, on the other hand, but not a subordination of Indebtedness.

Section 7.19         No Warranties or Liability. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that none of the other Parties has made any representation or warranty with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any other [November] 2021 First Lien Facility Document, any other [     ]1 [First/Second]2 Lien Facility Document or any other Additional Document. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party will be entitled to manage and supervise its respective extensions of credit to any Credit Party in accordance with law and their usual practices, modified from time to time as they deem appropriate.

Section 7.20         Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any [November] 2021 First Lien Facility Document, any [     ]1 [First/Second]2 Lien Facility Document or any Additional Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

Section 7.21         Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Credit Parties. Each Party hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Credit Parties and all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the [November] 2021 First Lien Obligations, the [    ]1 [First/Second]2 Lien Obligations or any Additional Obligations, as applicable. Each Party hereby agrees that no Party shall have any duty to advise any other Party of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event any Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any information to any other Party to this Agreement, it shall be under no obligation (a) to provide any such information to such other Party or any other Party on any subsequent occasion, (b) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, or (c) to disclose any other information.

Section 7.22         Excluded Assets. For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein (including in Section 2.5), nothing in this Agreement (including Sections 2.1, 4.1, 6.1 and 6.9) shall be deemed to provide or require that any Agent or any Secured Party represented thereby receive any Proceeds of, or any Lien on, any Property of any Credit Party that constitutes “Excluded Assets” under (and as defined in) the applicable Credit Document to which such Agent is a party.
