Section 2.05. Procedure for Revolving Loan Borrowing. The Borrowers may borrow under the Revolving Commitments during the Revolving Commitment Period on any Business Day, provided that the Borrower Representative shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice in the form of a Notice of Borrowing or by telephone (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M., Dallas, Texas time, (a) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or (b) one (1) Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of CBFR Loans), specifying (i) the amount and Type of Revolving Loans to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date, and (iii) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Period therefor. Each telephonic notice of a borrowing under the Revolving Facility shall be confirmed on the Business Day following such notice by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a properly completed Notice of Borrowing signed by the Borrower Representative. Any Revolving Loans made on the Closing Date shall initially be CBFR Loans. Each borrowing under the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of CBFR Loans, $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Revolving Commitments are less than $500,000, such lesser amount) and (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Revolving Commitments are less than $1,000,000, such lesser amount). Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof. Each Revolving Lender will make the amount of its Applicable Revolving Percentage of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrowers at the Funding Office prior to 1:00 P.M., Dallas, Texas time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower Representative in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower Representative by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower Representative on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Revolving Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. The Borrowers agree that the Borrowers shall bear all risk of loss resulting from Revolving Loans made pursuant to any borrowing request made by telephone.

Section 2.06. Commitment Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Termination Date, commencing on December 31, 2012.

Section 2.07. Termination or Reduction of Revolving Commitments. The Borrowers shall have the right, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ notice by the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments; provided, further, that any such notice of reduction of the Revolving Commitments may be

 

31


conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the closing of an acquisition or divestiture transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Representative. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments then in effect. All fees in respect of the Revolving Facility accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Facility shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

Section 2.08. Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered by the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior thereto in the case of Eurodollar Loans and at least one (1) Business Day prior thereto in the case of CBFR Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is (a) of Revolving Loans or Term Loans or a combination thereof, and in the case of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each, and (b) of Eurodollar Loans or CBFR Loans or a combination thereof; provided, that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrowers shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.20. 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, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid, provided that any such notice may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the closing of an acquisition or divestiture transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Representative. Partial prepayments of Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple thereof Each prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be applied to the Term Loans in accordance with Section 2 .15 (b).

Section 2.09. Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions.

(a) If any Indebtedness (excluding any Indebtedness incurred in accordance with Section 6.02), shall be issued or incurred by any Borrower, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied on the date of such issuance or incurrence toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.09(c).

(b) If on any date any Borrower shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied on such date toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.09(c); provided, that, (i) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds of Asset Sales and Recovery Events that may be excluded from the foregoing requirement pursuant to a Reinvestment Notice shall not exceed $500,000 in any Fiscal Year and (ii) on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Term Loans and the reduction of the Revolving Commitments as set forth in Section 2.09(c).

(c) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.09 shall be applied to the Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.15(b). Each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.09 shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.

 

32


(d) If for any reason the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit at any time exceeds the Total Revolving Commitments then outstanding, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay the Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

Section 2.10. Conversion and Continuation Options.

(a) The Borrowers may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans under the Revolving Facility to CBFR Loans under the Revolving Facility by causing the Borrower Representative to give the Administrative Agent at least two (2) Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election pursuant to a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrowers may elect from time to time to convert CBFR Loans under the Revolving Facility to Eurodollar Loans under the Revolving Facility by causing the Borrower Representative to give the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election pursuant to a Notice of Conversion/Continuation (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no CBFR Loan under the Revolving Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Facility Lenders in respect of the Revolving 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 Eurodollar Loan under the Revolving Facility may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrowers causing the Borrower Representative to give irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, pursuant to a Notice of Conversion/Continuation in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.01, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Eurodollar Loan under the Revolving Facility may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Administrative Agent or the Required Facility Lenders in respect of the Revolving Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations, and provided, further, that if the Borrower Representative shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to CBFR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

Section 2.11. Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans under the Revolving Facility hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder with respect to the Revolving Facility 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 Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche under the Revolving Facility shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than three (3) Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

Section 2.12. Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

(a) Each Eurodollar 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 determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

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

(c)   (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law.

(ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan Obligation) payable by the Borrowers under any Loan Document is not paid when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law.

(iii) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists (or automatically while an Event of Default exists under paragraph (f) in Section 7.01), the Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations from and after the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 2.13. Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the CBFR Floating Rate 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 shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower Representative and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

 

34


(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.14. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, or

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Adjusted LIBO Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as CBFR Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as CBFR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period, to CBFR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrowers have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.

Section 2.15. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a) 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 Commitments of the Lenders with respect to a particular Facility shall be made pro rata according to the Applicable Percentages, as the case may be, of the Lenders under such Facility.

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrowers on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Lenders. The amount of each principal prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied to reduce the remaining installments of the Term Loans in inverse order of maturity. Amounts prepaid or repaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrowers on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Facility shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders.

 

35


(d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrowers hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without any condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff and shall be made prior to 1:00 P.M., Dallas, Texas time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage in respect of the relevant Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of each such payment promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar 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 Eurodollar 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 shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 or 2.05, as applicable, and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower Representative a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made such amount available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower Representative to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to CBFR Loans. If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower Representative the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such borrowing. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the

 

36


date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrowers.

(g) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, distribute such payment in the order of priority set forth in Section 7.03. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Borrowers under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the Loans or the Facility, or the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, distribute such funds in the order of priority set forth in Section 7.03.

(h) The Borrowers hereby authorize each Lender and each Lender’s Affiliates, if and to the extent any payment owed to such Lender is not made when due hereunder or any other Loan Document, to charge from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, against any or all of the Borrowers’ accounts with such Lender or such Affiliate any amount so due.

The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans and Revolving Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment under Section 9.05(c) on any date required hereunder, shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its Loan or to make its payment under Section 9.05(c).

(j) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

Section 2.16. 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 shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert CBFR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to CBFR 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 Eurodollar 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 2.20.

 

37


Section 2.17. Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate);

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or other Recipient, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender, or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower Representative, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower Representative shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a

 

38


Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Survival. The obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 2.18. Taxes.

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

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Representative 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.

(d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any

 

39


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 (d).

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.18, such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.18(f) (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

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

 

40


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

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

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 1-2 or Exhibit 1-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 1-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail 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 Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law

 

41


and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.18 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.18), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to the indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imputed or if indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) For purposes of this Section 2.18, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(i) The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 2.19. Mitigation Obligations.; Replacement of Lenders: Designation of a Different Lending Office. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.17, or requires any Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower Representative) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and

 

42


obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.18, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.17, or if any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.19(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower Representative may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.17 or Section 2.18) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 9.06;

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.20) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.17 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.18, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and

(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower Representative to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 2.20. Indemnity. The Borrowers agree to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by any of the Borrowers in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower Representative has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by any of the

 

43


Borrowers in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower Representative has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.19(b). Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower Representative by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 2.21. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loans shall be available (and the Borrowers agree that they will use such proceeds) solely to repay in full the Existing Indebtedness and related transaction fees and expenses. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans shall be available (and the Borrowers agree that they will use such proceeds) solely to finance working capital needs of the Borrowers in the ordinary course of business, including making payments due on the Closing Date in connection with the Transactions.

Section 2.22. Evidence of Debt.

(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 9.06(c), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan, made hereunder, the Type thereof and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable to the Lenders hereunder, and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrowers and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant hereto shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrowers therein recorded, provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

44


(d) The Borrowers agree that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any applicable Lender, the Borrowers will execute and deliver to such Lender, as appropriate, (i) a promissory note of the Borrowers evidencing the Revolving Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (a “Revolving Note”), (ii) a promissory note of the Borrowers evidencing the Tranche A Term Loan of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (a “Tranche A Term Note”), (iii) a promissory note of the Borrowers evidencing the Tranche B Term Loan of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit C-3 with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (a “Tranche B Term Note”), and (iv) a promissory note of the Borrowers evidencing the Tranche C Term Loan of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit C-4 with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (a “Tranche C Term Note”). Each Lender is hereby authorized to record the Borrowing Date, the amount of each relevant Loan and the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal thereof, on the schedule annexed to and constituting a part of the Note evidencing such Loan and any such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded, provided that the failure by a Lender to make any such recordation (or any error therein) shall not affect any of the obligations of the Borrowers under such Note or this Agreement.

Section 2.23. Borrower Representative. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Holdings as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for all Borrowers (the “Borrower Representative”) which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed as to the Borrower Representative. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Borrower Representative (a) to provide the Administrative Agent with all requests, notices, instructions and certificates with respect to the Loans obtained and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement and (b) to take such action as the Borrower Representative deems appropriate on its behalf with respect to the Loans and to exercise such other powers and take such actions as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is understood that the handling of the Loans and Collateral of the Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not incur liability to any Borrower as a result hereof Each Borrower will derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the Loans and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group. TO INDUCE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS TO DO SO, AND IN CONSIDERATION THEREOF, THE BORROWERS HEREBY JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY AGREE TO INDEMNIFY EACH INDEMNITEE AND HOLD EACH INDEMNITEE HARMLESS AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, EXPENSE, LOSS OR CLAIM OF DAMAGE OR INJURY, MADE AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE BY ANY BORROWER OR BY ANY THIRD PARTY WHOMSOEVER, ARISING FROM OR INCURRED BY REASON OF (A) THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE LOANS AND

 

45


COLLATERAL, (B) THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER RELYING ON ANY NOTICES, INSTRUCTIONS, CERTIFICATES OR REQUESTS OF THE BORROWER REPRESENTATIVE, OR (C) ANY OTHER ACTION TAKEN BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO THE BORROWERS FOR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED TO BE TAKEN BY THE BORROWER REPRESENTATIVE PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.

Section 2.24. Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers.

(a) Each Borrower is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the payment and performance of the Obligations.

(b) Each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a primary obligor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all of the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of the Borrowers.

(c) If and to the extent that any of the Borrowers shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.

(d) The Obligations of each Borrower constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each Borrower enforceable against each such Borrower, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other circumstances whatsoever.

(e) Each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any Loans made or issued under or pursuant to this Agreement, notice of the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default, or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or any Lender under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement). Each Borrower hereby consents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this

 

46


Agreement or any other Loan Document, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower consents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the failure by any Borrower to comply with any of its respective Obligations, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable Requirements of Law, which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.24, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations, it being the intention of each Borrower that the Obligations of each Borrower shall not be discharged except by the payment in full in cash of the Obligations and the termination or expiration of the Commitments. The Obligations of each Borrower shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower.

Each Borrower represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and the Lenders that such Borrower is currently informed of the financial condition of the Borrowers and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower further represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and the Lenders that such Borrower has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will continue to keep informed as to the financial condition of each of the Borrowers, the financial condition of each guarantor, and of all other circumstances that bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations.

(g) The provisions of this Section 2.24 are for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by it or them from time to time against any or all of the Borrowers and without requirement on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any successor or assign first to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any of the other Borrowers or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any of the other Borrowers or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, the Obligations of the Borrowers with respect to that payment will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.

(h) Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution, indemnification, reimbursement or subrogation against any of the other Borrowers with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, any payments made by it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect to any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor until such time as all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash and the Commitments have terminated. Any claim that any Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to the Administrative Agent or

 

47


any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations and, in the event of any proceeding under any Debtor Relieve Law under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Borrower, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all of the Obligations shall be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Borrower therefor.

Section 2.25. Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.07 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower Representative may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility.

(iii) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

 

48


(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent 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 to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility, 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.

expenses in connection with the foregoing. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared based on the best information available to the Borrowers as of the date of delivery thereof, and presents fairly on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of Borrowers as at August 31, 2012, assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date.

(b) The audited consolidated balance sheet of Holdings as at December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the Fiscal Year ended on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from Grant Thornton LLP, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Holdings as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the Fiscal Year then ended. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Holdings as at June 30, 2012, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the 6-month period ended on such date, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of Holdings as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the 6-month period then ended (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes). All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). None of the Borrowers has any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities, liabilities for Taxes or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph or in the Schedules to this Agreement. During the period from December 31, 2011, to and including the date hereof there has been no Disposition by any Borrower of any material part of its business or property.

No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the Transactions and the extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 4.04, which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, and (ii) the filings referred to in Section 4.18. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Borrower 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 Borrower party thereto, enforceable against each such Borrower in accordance with its terms, 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).

Section 4.05. No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of any Borrower and will not 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 created by the Security Documents). No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to any of the Borrowers could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Transactions comply with all applicable Requirements of Law.

Section 4.06. Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of any of the Borrowers, threatened by or against any Borrower or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to the Transactions or any of the Loan Documents, or (b) that either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

No material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does any Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim. The use of Intellectual Property by each Borrower does not infringe on the rights of any Person in any material respect.

Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.01 and 7.02), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrower Representative or a Lender.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien created pursuant to the Security Documents, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Section 8.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for

 

76


relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 8.05. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all 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 and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facilities as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents 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 agents.

Section 8.06. Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower Representative. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower Representative, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in Dallas, Texas, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in Dallas, Texas. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower Representative and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower Representative, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

 

77


(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its subagents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Section 8.07. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Each Lender acknowledges that Condon Thornton Sladek Harrell PLLC is acting in this transaction as counsel to the Administrative Agent only. Each other party hereto will consult with its own legal counsel to the extent that it deems necessary in connection with the Loan Documents and the matters contemplated therein.

Section 8.08. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any case, proceeding or other action of a nature under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan 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 Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans 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

 

78


Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel) and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.06 and 9.05 allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) 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 judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 9.05.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Section 8.09. Collateral and Guarantee Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), (ii) that is sold or otherwise Disposed of or to be sold or otherwise Disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other Disposition permitted under the Loan Documents, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 9.01;

(b) to release any Borrower from its guarantee under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement if such Person ceases to be a Wholly Owned Subsidiary as a result of a transaction expressly permitted hereunder; and

(c) 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 6.03(g).

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Borrower from its guarantee under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.09. In each case as specified in this Section 8.09, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Borrower such documents as such Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the Liens granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Borrower from its guarantee under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 8.09.

 

79


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 Borrower in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) any Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Borrower or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person.

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any

 

87


Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement 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 entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17, 2.18 and 2.20 and 9.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Dallas, Texas, 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 amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall 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. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower Representative and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or any Borrower or any of the Affiliates or Subsidiaries of any Borrower) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and 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 or instrument 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 or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the

 

88


Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 9.01(i) that directly affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17, 2.18 and 2.20 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.18(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.18(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.17 or 2.18, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower Representative’s prior written consent. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.19(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.07(b) as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 9.07(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may 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; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(f) Notes. The Borrowers, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agree to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (b) above.

Section 9.07. Adjustments; Set-Off.

(a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such

 

89


Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrowers, or any of them, pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

Each of the Borrowers consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all of the obligations of any Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrowers may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.15(h) and 9.07(b) of this Agreement and Section 10.14 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, if at any time any Lender or any of its Affiliates maintains one or more deposit accounts for any Borrower into which Medicare and/or Medicaid receivables are deposited or sent for deposit by the payor, such Person waives the rights of setoff set forth in such Sections with respect to such deposit account or deposit accounts.

Section 9.08. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 3.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf’ or “tif’) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 9.09. 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.

Section 9.10. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; etc.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of Texas.

(b) Each of the Borrowers irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Texas sitting in Dallas County and of the United States District Court of the Northern District of Texas, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Texas State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

 

91


(d) Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.02. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

Section 9.11. Acknowledgements. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between Administrative Agent and Lenders, on one hand, and any of the Borrowers, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among Borrowers and the Lenders.

Section 9.12. Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to any Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder; (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating any Borrower or the Facilities or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Facilities; (h) with the consent of the Borrower Representative; or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Borrower.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Borrower relating to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Borrower. Any Person required to

 

92


maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 9.13. 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 which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which 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 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. The right to accelerate maturity of the Loans and the other Obligations does not include the right to accelerate any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders do not intend to charge or receive any unearned interest in the event of acceleration.

Section 9.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 9.15. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 9.17. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Patriot Act.

[Except as set forth below], [s]uch review did not disclose, and I have no knowledge of (i) the existence of any condition or event that constitutes a Default or Event of Default during or at the end of the accounting period covered by the Financial Statements or as of the date of this Certificate or (ii) any change in GAAP or in the application thereof that has occurred since the date of the audited financial statements referred to in Section 4.01(b) of the Credit Agreement. To the best of my knowledge, each Borrower during the period covered by the Financial Statements has observed or performed all of its covenants and other agreements, and satisfied every condition contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party to be observed, performed or satisfied by it.

5. Attached hereto as Attachment 2 are the financial data and computations showing (in reasonable detail) compliance by the Borrowers with the covenants set forth in Sections 6.01, 6.02(c), 6.02(h), 6.02(i), 6.05(e), 6.06(b), 6.08(h), and 6.08(j) of the Credit Agreement, all of which financial data and computations are true, complete and correct.

Described below are the exceptions, if any, to paragraph 3 by listing, in detail, the (i) nature of the condition or event, the period during which it has existed and the action that the Borrowers have taken, are taking, or propose to take with respect to each such condition or event or (ii) the change in GAAP or the application thereof and the effect of such change on the attached financial statements:

 

    
    
    

The foregoing certifications, together with the computations set forth in Attachment 2 and the Financial Statements delivered with this Certificate in support hereof, are made and delivered this      day of                 201_.

Payments of principal under this Note shall be payable in the amounts and on the dates specified in the Credit Agreement. The Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans made by the Lender from the date of such Revolving Loans until such principal amount is paid in full, at such interest rates and at such times as provided in the Credit Agreement. All payments of principal and interest shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office for the account of the Lender in Dollars in immediately available funds as specified in the Credit Agreement. If any amount is not paid in full when due under the Credit Agreement, such unpaid amount shall bear interest, to be paid upon demand, from the due date thereof until the date of actual payment (and before as well as after judgment) computed at the per annum rate set forth in the Credit Agreement.

This Note is one of the Revolving Notes referred to in the Credit Agreement, is entitled to the benefits thereof and may be prepaid in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to the terms and conditions provided therein. If one or more of the Events of Default specified in the Credit Agreement occurs and is continuing, all amounts then remaining unpaid on this Note shall become, or may be declared to be, immediately due and payable all as provided in the Credit Agreement. The Revolving Loans made by the Lender to the Borrower under this Note shall be evidenced by one or more loan accounts or records maintained by the Lender in the ordinary course of business.

Each such endorsement shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information absent manifest error. The failure to make any such endorsement (or any error therein) shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower in respect of any Revolving Loans or the Credit Agreement.

This Note is secured and guaranteed as provided in the Loan Documents. Reference is hereby made to the Loan Documents for a description of the properties and assets in which a lien or security interest has been granted, the nature and extent of the security and the guarantees, the terms and conditions upon which the liens and security interests and each guarantee were granted and the rights of the holder of this Note in respect thereof.

3

3. Additional Provisions Concerning Subordination.

(a) The Subordinated Creditors and the Borrower agree that upon the occurrence of any Insolvency Event commenced by or against the Borrower:

(i) all Senior Obligations shall be paid in full (excluding contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made and Banking Services Obligations) before any payment or distribution is made with respect to the Subordinated Obligations; and

 

4


(ii) any payment or distribution of assets of the Borrower, whether in cash, property or securities, to which any Subordinated Creditor would be entitled except for the provisions hereof, shall be paid or delivered by the Borrower, or any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, disbursing agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, directly to the Senior Agent, for the account of the Senior Lenders, to the extent necessary to pay in full all Senior Obligations (excluding contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made and Banking Services Obligations), before any payment or distribution shall be made to any Subordinated Creditor.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any event or proceeding described in clause (i) of the definition of “Insolvency Event” commenced by or against the Borrower:

(i) each Subordinated Creditor irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Senior Agent:

(A) to demand, sue for, collect and receive every payment or distribution on account of the Subordinated Obligations payable or deliverable in connection with such event or proceeding and give acquittance therefor; and

(B) to file claims and proofs of claim in any statutory or non-statutory proceeding and take such other actions, in its own name as Senior Agent, or in the name of the Subordinated Creditors or otherwise, as the Senior Agent may deem necessary or advisable for the enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing authorization and empowerment imposes no obligation on the Senior Agent to take any such action;

(ii) each Subordinated Creditor shall take such action, duly and promptly, as the Senior Agent may request from time to time

(A) to collect the Subordinated Obligations for the account of the Senior Lenders; and

(B) to file appropriate proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Obligations; and

(iii) each Subordinated Creditor shall execute and deliver such powers of attorney, assignments or proofs of claim or other instruments as the Senior Agent may request to enable the Senior Agent to enforce any and all claims in respect of the Subordinated Obligations and to collect and receive any and all payments and distributions which may be payable or deliverable at any time upon or in respect of the Subordinated Obligations.

(c) If any payment or distribution, whether consisting of money, property or securities, shall be collected or received by any Subordinated Creditor in respect of the

 

5


Subordinated Obligations, except payments permitted to be made at the time of payment as provided in Section 2(b)(ii)(A) above, such Subordinated Creditor forthwith shall deliver the same to the Senior Agent for the account of the Senior Lenders, in the form received, duly indorsed to the Senior Agent, if required, to be applied to the payment or prepayment of the Senior Obligations until the Senior Obligations are paid in full (excluding contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made and Banking Services Obligations). Until so delivered, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust by such Subordinated Creditor as the property of the Senior Agent for the benefit of the Senior Lenders, segregated from other funds and property held by such Subordinated Creditor.

4. Subrogation. Until the Senior Obligations are paid in full (excluding contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made and Banking Services Obligations), the Subordinated Creditors shall not assert any claim of subrogation under applicable law or otherwise with respect to the Senior Agent, the Senior Lenders and the Senior Obligations. Upon the prior payment in full of the Senior Obligations (excluding contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made and Banking Services Obligations), the Subordinated Creditors shall be subrogated to the rights of the Senior Lenders to receive payments or distributions of assets of the Borrower in respect of the Senior Obligations. For the purposes of such subrogation, payments or distributions to the Senior Agent, for the account of the Senior Lenders, of any money, property or securities to which any Subordinated Creditor would be entitled except for the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed, as between the Borrower and its creditors other than the Senior Lenders and such Subordinated Creditor, to be a payment by the Borrower to or on account of Subordinated Obligations, it being understood that the provisions of this Agreement are, and are intended solely, for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Subordinated Creditors, on the one hand, and the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders, on the other hand.

5. Consent of Subordinated Creditors.

(a) Each Subordinated Creditor consents and agrees that, without the necessity of any reservation of rights against any Subordinated Creditor, and without notice to or further assent by any Subordinated Creditor:

(i) any demand for payment of any Senior Obligations made by the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender may be rescinded in whole or in part by the Senior Agent or any such Senior Lender, and any Senior Obligation may be continued, and the Senior Obligations, or the liability of the Borrower, any other borrower or any guarantor or any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, or any obligation or liability of the Borrower or any other party under the Senior Credit Agreement or any other agreement, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, increased, accelerated, compromised, waived, modified, surrendered, or released by the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender; and

(ii) the Senior Credit Agreement, the Senior Notes, any other Senior Loan Document and any Rate Management Document may be amended, restated, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Senior Agent or any Senior

 

6


Lender (or affiliate of any Senior Lender) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security at any time held by the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender for the payment of any of the Senior Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released, in each case all without notice to or further assent by any Subordinated Creditor, which will remain bound under this Agreement, and all without impairing, abridging, releasing or affecting the subordination provided for herein.

(b) Each Subordinated Creditor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, increase, extension or accrual of any of the Senior Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders upon this Agreement. The Senior Obligations, and any of them, shall be deemed conclusively to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Agreement, and all dealings between the Borrower and the Senior Agent and Senior Lenders shall be deemed to have been consummated in reliance upon this Agreement. Each Subordinated Creditor acknowledges and agrees that the Senior Agent and Senior Lenders have relied upon the subordination provided for herein in entering into the Senior Credit Agreement and in making funds available to the Borrower and the other borrowers thereunder and in entering into any Rate Management Document. Each Subordinated Creditor waives notice of or proof of reliance on this Agreement and protest, demand for payment and notice of default.

6. Negative Covenants of the Subordinated Creditors. So long as any of the Senior Obligations shall remain outstanding (excluding contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made and Banking Services Obligations), no Subordinated Creditor shall, without the prior written consent of the Senior Agent:

(a) sell, assign, or otherwise transfer, in whole or in part, the Subordinated Obligations or any interest therein to any other Person (a “Transferee”) or create, incur or suffer to exist any security interest, lien, charge or other encumbrance whatsoever upon the Subordinated Obligations in favor of any Transferee unless:

(i) such action is made expressly subject to this Agreement; and

(ii) the Transferee expressly acknowledges to the Senior Agent, by a writing in form and substance satisfactory to the Senior Agent, the subordination provided for herein and agrees to be bound by all of the terms hereof;

(b) permit any of the Subordinated Loan Documents to be amended, restated, modified or otherwise supplemented (other than any such amendment, modification, waiver or other change that (i) would extend the maturity or reduce the amount of any payment of principal thereof or reduce the rate or extend any date for payment of interest thereon and (ii) does not involve the payment of a consent fee);

(c) commence, or join with any creditors other than the Senior Lenders in commencing any Insolvency Event;

(d) challenge the validity, enforceability or priority of any Senior Loan Document;

(f) interfere in any respect with the exercise by the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender of any right or remedy under any Senior Loan Document or applicable law; or

(c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any security interest in any Collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the Senior Obligations or any guarantee thereof;

(d) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense, counterclaim or other right that any Subordinated Creditor, the Borrower, any other borrower, any guarantor or any other Person may have against any Person, including, without limitation, the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender;

(e) any manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Senior Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Senior Obligations or any obligations of the Borrower or any other borrower under the Senior Loan Documents or any other assets of the Borrower or any other Person;

(f) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate or other organizational structure or existence of the Borrower, any other borrower, any guarantor or any other obligor with respect to the Senior Obligations;

(g) any failure of the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender to disclose to any Subordinated Creditor any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of the Borrower, any other borrower, any guarantor or other Person now or hereafter known to the Senior Agent or such Senior Lender (each Subordinated Creditor hereby waiving any duty on the part of the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders to disclose such information); or

 

8


(h) any other circumstances which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower in respect of the Senior Obligations, or of either any Subordinated Creditor or the Borrower in respect of this Agreement, other than the defense of payment in full.

(c) this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Subordinated Creditor enforceable against such Subordinated Creditor in accordance with its terms;

(d) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not violate any provision of any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of such Subordinated Creditor and will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of the properties or revenues of such Subordinated Creditor pursuant to any Requirement of Law affecting or any Contractual Obligation of such Subordinated Creditor, except the interest of the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders under this Agreement; and

(e) no consent or authorization of, filing with, or other act by or in respect of, any arbitrator or Governmental Authority and no consent of any other Person (including, without limitation, any stockholder or creditor of such Subordinated Creditor), is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement.

9. Waiver of Claims. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Subordinated Creditor waives any claim it might have against the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders with respect to, or arising out of, any action or failure to act or any error of judgment, negligence, or mistake or oversight whatsoever on the part of the Senior Agent, the Senior Lenders or their respective

 

9


directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents with respect to any exercise of rights or remedies under the Senior Loan Documents or any transaction relating to the Collateral other than claims arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Senior Agent and/or the Senior Lenders or actions by the Senior Agent and/or the Senior Lenders after payment in full of the Senior Obligations.

10


be taken by any Senior Lender or the Senior Agent with respect to any of the foregoing; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnitee or disputes among indemnitees.
