Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) may be repaid and reborrowed during the Commitment Period. Lenders’ Loan Commitments shall expire on the Maturity Date.

Upon the Borrower receiving such notification from the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of DB FSLF a commitment fee of $100,000. Upon receipt by DB FSLF of such fee, the Loan Commitment of DB FSLF shall be increased by $10,000,000 and the Loan Commitments shall be increased accordingly.

(iii)Whenever the Borrower desires that Lenders make Loans, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a fully executed and delivered Funding Notice no later than 10:00 a.m. at least two Business Days in advance of the proposed Credit Date. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Funding Notice shall be irrevocable and the Borrower shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith.

 

 

 

 

(iv)Notice of receipt of each Funding Notice in respect of Loans, together with the amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, if any, together with the applicable interest rate, shall be provided by the Administrative Agent to each applicable Lender by telefacsimile with reasonable promptness, but (provided the Administrative Agent shall have received such notice by 10:00 a.m.) not later than 2:00 p.m. on the same day as the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Notice from the Borrower.

No portion of the proceeds of any Loan shall be used in any manner that causes any Loan or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation thereof or to violate the Exchange Act.

 

2.4. Register.

 

(a)Register. The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the Loan Commitments, and the Loans from time to time (the “Register”).

(b)Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.5(a) shall be computed on the basis of a 360‑day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on a Loan, the Credit Date or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan shall be excluded.

 

 

(c)For the purposes of determining the interest payable pursuant to Section 2.5(a), the Outstanding Amount of the Loans shall be deemed to be the greater of the actual Outstanding Amount and the Applicable Deemed Balance.

 

 

(d)Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on the Loans shall be payable in arrears on (i) each Settlement Date with respect to the related Interest Period; and (ii) with respect to any prepayment in whole or in part of any Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, upon such prepayment in an amount equal to the interest accrued and unpaid on the amount so prepaid to the date of prepayment.

 

 

(e)For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of a 360 day year or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent are the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 360 or the actual number of days in such other period of time, respectively. Company and each Guarantor confirms that each of them understands and is able to calculate the rate of interest based on the methodology for calculating per annum rates provided in this Agreement. Company and each Guarantor agrees not to plead or assert, whether by way of defence or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to this Agreement, or any related document that the interest payable thereunder and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to Company or such Guarantor as required pursuant to section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) or any other applicable law.

Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.6 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

(a)The Borrower shall pay to the Lead Arranger the Upfront Fee on or before the Closing Date.

The Borrower agrees that any amount payable under this Section 2.8 is a reasonable calculation of Lenders’ lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an early repayment of the Loans.

 

 
 
 
 

 

31

 

2.9. Mandatory Prepayments.

 

(a)Outstanding Amount. The Borrower shall from time to time prepay the Loans to the extent necessary to ensure that the Outstanding Amount shall not at any time exceed the Borrowing Base.

(b)All interest earned from deposits in the Collection Accounts or the Loan Account shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.11 or Section 2.12, as the case may be. As between the Borrower, the Originating Subsidiaries and the Collateral Agent, the Borrower and the applicable Originating Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall treat all interest earned from deposits in the Collection Accounts and the Loan Account as its income for federal, state, provincial, territorial, and local income tax purposes.

 

 

(c)The Account Control Agreement (without trigger) in respect of each Collection Account subject thereto will provide that all funds in such Collection Account will be swept daily into the Loan Account.

(a)All payments by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds, without defense, recoupment, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the date due via wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Payment Account; funds not so received by the Administrative Agent at or before that time on such due date shall only be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent on the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day (except to the extent such delay in payment results solely from the Loan Account Bank’s failure to distribute funds on deposit in the Loan Account and available for distribution as of 3:00 p.m. on such Business Day in accordance with Section 2.11 or Section 2.12). Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non‑conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the Default Rate determined pursuant to Section 2.6 (if applicable) from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

 
 
 
 
 

 

33

 

(b)All payments in respect of the principal amount of the Loans shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid.

 

 

(c)The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address or via wire transfer as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due with respect thereto, including, without limitation, all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by the Administrative Agent.

 

 

(d)Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder.

 

 

(e)The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to the Borrower and each Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is not made in conformity with this Section 2.12.

 

2.14. Ratable Sharing.

 

The Lenders hereby agree among themselves that, except as otherwise provided in the Credit Documents, with respect to amounts realized from the exercise of rights with respect to Liens on the Collateral, if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of the Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set‑off, consolidation, or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under Debtor Relief Laws, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in their proportions of Aggregate Amounts Due; provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Credit Party or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Credit Parties expressly consent to the foregoing arrangement and agree that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, consolidation, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by any Credit Party to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

 

 
 
 
 

 

34

 

2.15. Making or Maintaining Loans.

 

(a)Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Reset Date with respect to any Loan, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted LIBOR on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted LIBOR, the Administrative Agent shall on such Interest Rate Reset Date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon Adjusted LIBOR shall be deemed equal to the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time.

 

 

(b)Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid or calculated to be due and payable by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re‑employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender would sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Loan does not occur on the related Credit Date; (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of any of its Loans occurs on any day other than a Settlement Date (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower.

 

 

(c)Assumptions Concerning Funding Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.15 and under Section 2.16 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant Loans through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at Adjusted LIBOR in an amount equal to the amount of such Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, each Lender may fund each of its Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.15 and under Section 2.16.

 

 
 
 
 

 

35

 

2.16. Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

 

(a)Compensation For Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.17 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than any Tax on the overall net income of such Lender) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements); or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining any Loan hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto (a “Cost Increase Event”); then, in any such case, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder; provided that (i) the related Cost Increase Event occurred within the 90 day period preceding the date on which the Borrower received such statement, or (ii) the Cost Increase Event has retroactive effects to a date prior to such 90 day period but the Borrower received such statement within 90 days of the occurrence of the Cost Increase Event. Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.16(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

 

 

(b)Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Lender shall have determined that the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or applicability after the Closing Date of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, any Loan or such Lender’s Loan Commitment or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to any Loan to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), (a “Capital Adequacy Adjustment Event”) then from time to time, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction; provided that (i) the related Capital Adequacy Adjustment Event occurred within the 90 day period preceding the date on which the Borrower received such statement, or (ii) the Capital Adequacy Adjustment Event has retroactive effects to a date prior to such 90 day period but the Borrower received such statement within 90 days of the occurrence of the Capital Adequacy Adjustment Event. Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.16(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

 
 
 
 
 

 

36

 

(c)Dodd-Frank. For greater certainty, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated thereunder shall be deemed to be a law that becomes effective after the Closing Date, regardless of the date enacted or adopted.

 

 

(d)Basel III Framework. For greater certainty, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all laws, regulations, rules, directives and guidelines attributable to the implementation or application of the Basel III Framework shall be deemed to be a law that becomes effective after the Closing Date, regardless of the date enacted or adopted. In this Agreement, “Basel III Framework” means the global regulatory standards on bank capital adequacy and liquidity referred to by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (“BCBS”) as “Basel III” or the “Basel III Framework” published in December 2010, together with any further guidance or standards in relation to “Basel III” or the “Basel III Framework” published or to be published by the BCBS.

 

 

(e)Borrower Rights. If any Lender demands payment with respect to amounts owed under Section 2.16(a) or (b), the Borrower shall have the right, if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, within ninety (90) days after receipt of such demand, to remove such Lender (the “Affected Person”) and to designate another lender (the “Replacement Person”) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to purchase the Affected Person’s outstanding Pro Rata Share of the Loans and to assume the Affected Person’s obligations under this Agreement; provided that increased costs incurred by such Lender prior to the date of its replacement shall have been paid as provided herein. The Affected Person agrees to sell to the Replacement Person its Pro Rata Share in the Loans (at par, with accrued interest through the date of purchase, in immediately available funds) and to delegate to the Replacement Person its obligations to the Borrower under this Agreement. Upon such sale and delegation by the Affected Person and the purchase and assumption by the Replacement Person, and compliance with the provisions of Section 10.6 hereof, the Affected Person shall cease to be a Lender hereunder and the Replacement Person shall become a Lender under this Agreement. Each Affected Person shall continue to be entitled to receive from the Borrower its share of interest, fees, costs and other sums which have not been assigned by the Affected Person to the Replacement Person.

2.17. Taxes; Withholding, etc.

 

(a)Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by each Credit Party hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall (except to the extent required by applicable law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax (other than a Tax on the overall net income of any Lender) imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within Canada or any political subdivision in or of Canada or any other jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made by or on behalf of any Credit Party or by any federation or organization of which Canada or any such jurisdiction is a member at the time of payment.

 

 

(b)Withholding of Taxes. If the Borrower or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax from any sum paid or payable by any Credit Party in respect of interest paid or payable by any Credit Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Credit Documents: (i) such Credit Party shall notify the Administrative Agent as soon as practicable of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as such Credit Party becomes aware of it; (ii) such Credit Party shall pay any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Person) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of the Administrative Agent or such Lender; (iii) the sum payable by such Credit Party in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and (iv) within thirty (30) days (or as soon as practicable thereafter) after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty (30) days (or as soon as practicable thereafter) after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (ii) above to pay, such Credit Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority.

 

 

(c)Payment of Taxes. The Borrower agrees to pay any Tax (other than a Tax on the overall net income of any Agent, Lender or other Secured Party) that arise from any payment made under any of the Credit Documents or from the execution, sale, transfer, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any of the Credit Documents. The Borrower hereby indemnifies each Agent, Lender and other Secured Party for the full amount of any Tax (other than Taxes on the overall net income of such Agent, Lender or Secured Party) paid by such Agent, Lender or other Secured Party and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally asserted.

 
 
 
 
 

 

38

 

(d)Notice; Mitigation. In the event the Borrower has actual knowledge that it is required to, or there arises, in the Borrower’s reasonable opinion, a substantial likelihood that the Borrower will be required to, pay an increased amount or otherwise indemnify such Lender for or on account of any Taxes pursuant to Section 2.17(b), the Borrower shall promptly notify such Lender of the nature of such Taxes and shall furnish such information to such Lender as it may reasonably request. In the event the Borrower provides the notice described in the previous sentence, such Lender shall consult with the Borrower in good faith to determine what action may be required to avoid or reduce such Taxes and shall use reasonable efforts to avoid or reduce such Taxes, provided that no action shall be required to be taken that would be disadvantageous to such Lender and would result in significantly increased cost to such Lender.

 

 

(e)Confirmation of Tax Status. If requested by the Borrower, each Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent executed originals of any form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in Canadian federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

SECTION 8. GUARANTEE

 

8.1. Guarantee of the Obligations.

 

Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the due and punctual payment and performance in full of all Obligations which are or may become from time to time owing or payable, or to be performed, or which remain owing or unpaid to, or to be performed for the benefit of any of the Secured Parties or any one or more of them (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). For greater certainty, the Guaranteed Obligations include, without limitation, all amounts which constitute Obligations and would be owed by any one or more of the Credit Parties but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable (in whole or in part) as a claim in connection with an Insolvency Event involving any Credit Party due to the existence of such Insolvency Event. Each Guarantor agrees that this Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and performance and not of collection.

 

8.2. Payment by Guarantors.

 

Each Guarantor hereby agrees, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Secured Party may have at law, in equity or otherwise against any Credit Party pursuant to any of the Credit Documents, that upon the failure of any Credit Party to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amount that would become due but for the existence of any stay under applicable Debtor Relief Laws), it will pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for Borrower's becoming the subject of an Insolvency Event, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against the Borrower for such interest in such Insolvency Event) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to the Secured Parties as aforesaid.

 

 
 
 
 

 

61

 

8.3. Liability of Guarantors Absolute.

 

Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

 

(a)to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Administrative Agent may enforce this Guarantee upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between Borrower and any Secured Party with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

 

 

(b)the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Borrower and the obligations of any other Credit Party, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against the Borrower or any of such other Credit Party and whether or not the Borrower or such Credit Party is joined in any such action or actions;

 

 

(c)payment by a Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce a Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge such Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

 
 
 
 

 

62 

 

(d)any Secured Party, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guarantees of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guarantees of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Credit Party) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Secured Party in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Secured Party may have against any such security, in each case as such Secured Party in its discretion may determine consistent with the applicable Credit Documents, including pursuant to one or more judicial or non-judicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement, subrogation or contribution or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against any other Credit Party or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under any Credit Document; and

 

this Guarantee and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Credit Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guarantee of or security for the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Credit Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guarantee or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Credit Document or any agreement relating to such other guarantee or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Credit Documents or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Secured Party might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Secured Party s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Credit Party and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which the Borrower may allege or assert against any Secured Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

 
 
 
 

 

63 

 

8.4. Waivers by Guarantors.

 

Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Secured Parties: (a) any right to require any Secured Party, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other Credit Party) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Secured Party in favor of the Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Secured Party whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any other Credit Party including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Borrower or any other Credit Party from any cause other than satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Secured Party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to the Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 8.3 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

 

8.5. Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc.

 

Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Loan Commitments shall have terminated, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any other Credit Party or any of their assets in connection with this Guarantee or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any other Credit Party with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Secured Party now has or may hereafter have against any other Credit Party, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Secured Party. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Loan Commitments shall have terminated, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other Credit Party. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against any other Credit Party or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution that such Guarantor may have against any other Credit Party, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Secured Party may have against such other Credit Party and to all right, title and interest any Secured Party may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right that any Secured Party may have against such other Credit Party. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

 
 
 
 

 

64 

 

8.6. Subordination of Other Obligations.

 

Any Indebtedness of any other Credit Party now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such indebtedness collected or received by any Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of any Guarantor under any other provision hereof.

 

8.7. Continuing Guarantee.

 

This Guarantee is a continuing guarantee and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Loan Commitments shall have terminated. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guarantee as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.

 

8.8. Authority of Guarantors.

 

It is not necessary for any Secured Party to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or any other Credit Party or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

 

8.9. Financial Condition of the Borrower.

 

Any Loan may be made to the Borrower or continued from time to time without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of the Borrower or any other Credit Party at the time of any such grant or continuation. No Secured Party shall have any obligation to disclose to or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of the Borrower or any other Credit Party. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties and their ability to perform their respective obligations under the Credit Documents, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and other Credit Parties and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of non-payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Secured Party to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of the Borrower or any Credit Party known or hereafter known by such Secured Party.

 

 
 
 
 

 

65

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any such Insolvency Event, whether voluntary or involuntary, involving or in respect of any Credit Party or by any defence which any Credit Party may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

 

 

(b)Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any Insolvency Event referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such Insolvency Event, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of each Guarantor and the Secured Parties that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by each Guarantor pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve any Credit Party of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay the Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of the Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

 

 

(c)In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by any Credit Party, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Secured Party as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.

(f)Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each assignee of any Lender, upon executing and delivering an Assignment Agreement, represents and warrants as of the applicable Effective Date (as defined in the applicable Assignment Agreement) that (i) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the Loans; (ii) it will invest in its Pro Rata Share of the Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of its business; and (iii) such assignee does not own or control, or own or control any Person owning or controlling, any trade debt or Indebtedness of the Borrower other than the Obligations.

 

 

(g)Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.6, as of the “Effective Date” specified in the applicable Assignment Agreement: (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent such rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned thereby pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 10.8) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; provided, anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder); and (iii) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to the Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon the Borrower shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Pro Rata Share of the Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.

 

 
 
 
 

 

(h)Participations. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) of all or any part of its Loan Commitments, Pro Rata Share of the Loans or of any other Obligation; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no participations may be sold to any Person acquiring such participation with the assets of, or for the benefit of, any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, any "plan" subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code, or any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a plan's investment in such entity. The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of the Loans or Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Loan Commitment or the Loans shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents (in each case, except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating. The Credit Parties agree that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15(a), 2.16, and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 10.6; provided, a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16 and 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.4 as though it were a Lender. Notwithstanding any participation made hereunder (i) such selling Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the Borrower for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and (iii) except as set forth above, the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Obligations and to approve, without the consent of or consultation with any participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement. Each Lender that sells a participation shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the amounts of each participant’s participation (the “Participant Register”). 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.

 

 

(i)Certain Other Assignments. In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 10.6, any Lender may assign, pledge and/or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its Pro Rata Share of the Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, such Lender, as between the Borrower and the Lender, shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and provided further, in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

10.7. Independence of Covenants.

 

All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

 

10.8. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

 

All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of the Credit Parties set forth in Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 shall survive the payment of the Loans and the termination hereof.

 

10.9. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.

 

No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

 

10.10. Marshalling; Payments Set Aside.

 

Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (or to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders), or the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

10.11. Severability.

 

In case any provision or obligation hereunder or any Note or other Credit Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

10.16. Usury Savings Clause.

 

If any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Credit Documents would obligate a Credit Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Agent or any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would result in a receipt by such Agent or Lender of interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then notwithstanding such provisions, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not so result in a receipt by such Agent or such Lender of interest at a rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (1) firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to such Agent or such Lender under Section 2.6, and (2) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to such Agent or such Lender which would constitute “interest” for purposes of determining the Highest Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and the Credit Parties to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated in the preceding sentence, if an Agent or Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by application of the Highest Lawful Rate, the applicable Credit Party shall be entitled, by notice in writing to such Agent or such Lender, to obtain reimbursement from such Agent or such Lender in an amount equal to such excess and, pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by such Agent or such Lender to such Credit Party. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section 10.16 shall be determined in accordance with GAAP as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that the Loans remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” for the purposes of determining the Highest Lawful Rate) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Closing Date to the Maturity Date and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of an actuary appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination absent manifest error.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or other electronic image scan transmission (e.g., “PDF” or “tif” via email) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

 

10.18. Advice of Counsel; No Strict Construction.
