THIS LOAN AGREEMENT (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), dated as of May 27, 2016, is among BANK OF UTAH, not in its individual capacity, except as expressly provided herein, but solely as owner trustee under the Trust Agreement, as Owner (the “Owner”), WU LEASING I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as Owner Participant (the “Owner Participant”) and WU FINANCE I LLC, as lender (the “Lender”).

 

The parties hereto agree as follows:

 

Section 1.           Definitions. For all purposes of this Agreement (a) the terms used herein in capitalized form but not defined herein are used as defined in Part I of Appendix A hereto and if not therein, as defined in the Lease and (b) the rules of construction and interpretation of this Agreement shall be as set forth in the Part II of Appendix A hereto.

 

Section 2.           The Loans.

 

2.1          Commitment to Lend.

 

(a)        On the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lender agrees to make secured loans to the Owner, such loans to be made in two Tranches, “Tranche A Loans” and “Tranche B Loans” as provided below, in an aggregate principal amount up to its Commitment specified opposite the Lender’s name on Schedule I hereto. The Loans shall be made pursuant to the terms hereof and Loan Certificates evidencing such Loans shall be issued pursuant to the terms hereof and shall be substantially in the form set out in Exhibit A. The Loans shall be secured by a first priority mortgage and security interest in the Designated Aircraft and a collateral assignment of the Lease and certain other property associated therewith. Once repaid, the Loans made hereunder may not be reborrowed.

 

(b)        The Loans shall be made by reference to a particular “Tranche”. The “Tranche” of any Loan shall be designated as “Tranche A” or “Tranche B”. The Loans shall relate to the Aircraft. The Tranche of each Loan shall be indicated on the face of the Loan Certificate relating to such Loan.

 

(c)        Schedule I hereto sets out the Tranche of Loans that the Lender has irrevocably elected to make. Any Loan initially made as a Tranche A Loan shall be and remain a Tranche A Loan, and any Loan initially made as a Tranche B Loan shall be and remain a Tranche B Loan, in each case, regardless of the holder thereof. A Loan, once made as a particular Tranche, shall only be transferred, assigned and/or reissued as such Tranche, entitling its holder to the rights, and subjecting such holder to the obligations, applicable to such Tranche only, as further set forth herein.

 

(d)        The aggregate Original Amount of the Tranche A Loans shall not exceed the Tranche A Commitment Amount, and the aggregate Original Amount of the Tranche B Loans shall not exceed the Tranche B Commitment Amount.

 

 

[Loan Agreement]

 

2.2          Funding and Disbursement Procedures; Floating Rate.

 

(a)        Each Loan shall relate to a particular Aircraft. In connection with the financing for any Aircraft hereunder, the Owner shall give the Lender a Notice of Borrowing as provided in Section 4.4 not later than 11:00 a.m. New York time at least four Business Days prior to the proposed date for the Borrowing Date for such Aircraft (the “Funding Date” for the relevant Aircraft) (which four Business Days’ prior notice, for the initial Loans, may be waived by agreement of the Lender, evidenced by its funding of such Loans), which date shall be a Business Day not later than the Commitment Termination Date, and which Notice of Borrowing shall be in the form of Exhibit B hereto. Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Lender shall execute and deliver to the Security Trustee a Notice of Drawdown under the Note Purchase Agreement in respect of the corresponding Advances to be made thereunder.

 

(b)        In order to facilitate the timely closing of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Owner, by delivery of a Notice of Borrowing to the Lender, irrevocably instructs the Lender to wire transfer (for receipt by no later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time) on the applicable Funding Date the Advance Amount for the relevant Aircraft by the wiring of immediately available funds to the Collection Account, and such funds shall be deemed to have been so deposited upon wiring by the Purchasers of such amount to the Collection Account in accordance with Section 2.2(b) of the Note Purchase Agreement.

 

(c)        Subject to clause (f) below, upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent for such Borrowing set forth in Section 7, the Security Trustee shall disburse the funds deemed to have been so deposited by the Lender into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 2.2(b) (the “Deposits”) to the Owner in the amount of the Advance Amount for the relevant Aircraft as set forth in Section 2.2(h).

 

(d)        If, for any reason, an Aircraft to be financed hereunder on its Funding Date shall not be so financed, pursuant to Section 2.2(d) of the Note Purchase Agreement the Deposits and earnings thereon, will be invested and reinvested by the Security Trustee at the sole direction, for the account, and at the risk of the Owner (the Lender hereby designating the Owner as its nominee to make such directions pursuant to Section 2.2(d) of the Note Purchase Agreement) in an overnight investment selected by the Owner and reasonably acceptable to the Lender and the Security Trustee. Upon the Owner’s oral (to be confirmed in writing) instructions, earnings on any such investments shall be applied to the Owner’s payment obligations to the Lender under this Section 2 to the extent of such earnings.

 

(e)        If the actual Borrowing Date for an Aircraft is a date falling after the relevant Funding Date, the Owner shall pay interest hereunder to the Lender on the amount of the Deposits for the period from and including such Funding Date to but excluding the earlier of (i) such Borrowing Date and (ii) the Cutoff Date (as defined below). For the Lender, such interest shall accrue on the amount of the Deposits at the Floating Rate for the Loans of the applicable Tranche. Interest on the Deposits accrued pursuant to the preceding sentence shall (A) if accrued to such Borrowing Date, be paid on the first Payment Date thereafter and (B) if accrued to such Cutoff Date, be due and payable to the Lender on such date.

2

 

(f)         If for any reason, other than the failure of the Lender to comply with the terms hereof, the Borrowing Date for an Aircraft shall not have occurred on or prior to five Business Days after its Funding Date (the relevant “Cutoff Date”), pursuant to Section 2.2(f) of the Note Purchase Agreement the Security Trustee shall return the Deposits to the Purchasers, provided, however, such return shall not affect the Lender’s continuing obligation to fund its Loan for the relevant Aircraft as provided herein.

 

(g)        If funds have been returned to the Purchasers pursuant to Section 2.2(f) of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Owner may schedule a new Funding Date for such Aircraft on any date prior to the Commitment Termination Date by giving a new Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.2(a), and the provisions of this Section 2 shall be applicable to such new Funding Date.

 

(h)        Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Borrowing Date for an Aircraft specified in the relevant Notice of Borrowing, the Lender shall loan the amount of the Advance Amount for the relevant Aircraft to the Owner by wire transferring such amount to the account identified by the Owner in such Notice of Borrowing, or to such other account as the Owner shall direct the Lender in writing.

 

(i)         On the Borrowing Date for an Aircraft, the Owner shall pay to the Lender an upfront fee in respect of the Tranche A Loans for such Aircraft in an amount equal to 1.00% of the Tranche A Advance Amount for such Aircraft. The Owner and the Lender agree that such fee shall be netted from the proceeds of the Tranche A Loans made available to the Owner in respect of such Aircraft to minimize actual cash movements.

 

2.3          Termination of Commitments.

 

(a)        The amount of the Lender’s Commitment shall be automatically reduced to zero on the Commitment Termination Date.

 

(b)        The Owner shall have no right at any time to terminate the aggregate unused amount of the Commitments.

 

(c)        The Commitments once terminated may not be reinstated.

 

2.4          Loan Certificates; Amortization.

 

(a)        Each Loan Certificate shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, dated the relevant Borrowing Date and payable to the Lender in a principal amount equal to the Tranche A Advance Amount or Tranche B Advance Amount, as applicable.

 

(b)        The Lender shall not be entitled to have its Loan Certificates subdivided, by exchange for promissory notes of lesser denominations or otherwise.

 

2.5          Voluntary Prepayments.

 

(a)        From and after the first anniversary of the Effective Date, the Owner shall have the right to prepay the Loans in respect of any Aircraft in full and request (and, subject to the requirements of Section 6.01(b) of the Mortgage, to obtain) the release of such Aircraft from the Lien of the Mortgage in accordance with Section 6.01(b) thereof, subject to the requirements of Sections 2.5(c) and 2.5(d) below; provided that no prepayment under this Section 2.5(a) shall be permitted and such Lien shall not be released if, after giving effect to such prepayment the Loans in respect of more than five Aircraft shall have been prepaid pursuant to this Section. Any prepayment under this Section 2.5(a) shall be applied to the Loans allocated to the relevant Aircraft.

3

 

(b)        From and after the first anniversary of the Effective Date, the Owner shall have the right on any date to prepay all of the Loans, in full or in part, in amounts, with respect to any partial prepayment, of no less than $5,000,000, and subject to the requirements of Sections 2.5(c) and 2.5(d). Any partial prepayment of the Loans under this Section 2.5(b) shall be applied to all of the Loans on a pro rata basis based on the then outstanding principal amounts thereof, and shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal on such Loans in inverse order of maturity. For the avoidance of doubt, the Loans of any particular Tranche may not be individually prepaid.

 

(c)        Any prepayment of principal on a Loan under this Section 2.5 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount prepaid through the date of prepayment plus the Prepayment Fee, if any.

 

(d)        The Owner shall give the Lender written notice of each prepayment under this Section 2.5 as provided in Section 4.4 (and, upon the date specified in any such notice of prepayment, the amount to be prepaid shall become due and payable hereunder).

 

(e)        No Aircraft or other Collateral shall be released from the Lien of the Security Documents in connection with any prepayment under Section 2.5(b) other than a prepayment of all Loans in full.

 

(f)         No prepayment under this Section 2.5 shall occur without a like prepayment under Section 2.7 of the Note Purchase Agreement.

 

2.6          Mandatory Prepayments.

 

(a)        The Owner shall prepay the Loans in respect of any Aircraft in full in accordance with paragraph (d) below following (i) an Event of Loss with respect to such Aircraft or (ii) a Disposition in respect of such Aircraft (other than a Disposition occurring in connection with a prepayment made in respect of such Aircraft in accordance with Section 2.5(a)).

 

(b)        The Owner shall prepay the Loans in full in accordance with paragraph (d) below following notice to the Lender of a Sub-Loan Remedy Event (which notice shall not be required if such Sub-Loan Remedy Event is a Bankruptcy Event).

 

(c)        Commencing with the Payment Date occurring March 15, 2017, on each Payment Date the Lender shall prepay the Loans in respect of each Aircraft in accordance with paragraph (d) below in an amount equal to the Supplemental Principal Amount, if any, for such Aircraft as of the immediately preceding Payment Date.

4

 

(d)        Any prepayment required by the preceding paragraph 2.6(a)(i) shall be due and payable on earlier of (x) the date of receipt of the related Casualty Proceeds and (y) 90 days after the occurrence of such Event of Loss, and shall be applied to the Loans allocated to the relevant Aircraft. Any prepayment required by the preceding paragraph (a)(ii) shall be due and payable on the date of the Disposition, and shall be applied to the Loans allocated to the relevant Aircraft. Any prepayment required by the preceding paragraph (b) shall be due and payable on the date of the applicable notice of a Sub-Loan Remedy Event (or, if such Sub-Loan Remedy Event is a Bankruptcy Event, on the date such Bankruptcy Event occurred). Any prepayment required by the preceding paragraph (c) shall be applied to the Loans allocated to each affected Aircraft (and to both Tranches of such Loans on a pro rata basis based on the then outstanding principal amounts thereof), ratably in accordance with the Supplemental Principal Amounts due for each such Aircraft, and applied to the remaining principal installments of such Loans in inverse order of maturity. Any prepayment of principal on the Loans required by this Section 2.6 shall be accompanied by interest on the amount prepaid through the date of prepayment, together with all other Obligations then due and owing (including, solely in the case of a prepayment under Section 2.6(a)(ii) the applicable Prepayment Fee, if any).

 

(e)        In the case of a prepayment as contemplated by this Section 2.6, such prepayment shall be due and payable forthwith, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived.

 

Section 3.           Payments of Principal and Interest; Tranche A Commitment Fee.

 

3.1          Repayment of Loans. The Owner hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Security Trustee for account of the Lender the outstanding principal amount of the Loans made in respect of each Aircraft quarterly on each Payment Date, commencing on the Amortization Date for such Loans, in the amount set forth on Schedule III; provided that, the principal balance of any Loan outstanding on the Maturity Date for such Loan shall be due and payable on such date.

 

3.2          Interest. The Owner shall pay to the Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan at the Floating Rate for such Loan for the period from and including the Borrowing Date to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner shall pay to the Lender interest at the applicable Post-Default Rate on any principal of any Loan and on any other amount payable by the Owner hereunder or under the Loan Certificates to or for account of the Lender which shall not be paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise), for the period from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date the same is paid in full. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period therefor and upon the payment or prepayment of any principal thereof, except that interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Owner.

 

3.3          Tranche A Commitment Fee. The Owner shall pay to the Lender a commitment fee (the “Tranche A Commitment Fee”) on the daily average amount of the unutilized Tranche A Commitment, for the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Commitment Termination Date, at a rate per annum equal to the Tranche A Commitment Fee Rate (calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual number of days elapsed, including the first day but excluding the last day). Accrued Tranche A Commitment Fees shall be payable (a) quarterly on each Payment Date and (b) on the Commitment Termination Date.

Section 8.           Representations and Warranties.

 

8.1          Owner. The Owner represents and warrants to the Lender that as of the date hereof and on each Borrowing Date:

 

(a)        Existence. The Owner is the trustee of a trust duly formed under a trust agreement that by its terms is governed by the laws of the State of Utah and is validly existing under the laws of the State of Utah. The Owner has the power and authority to enter into and to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party.

 

(b)        Authorization. The Owner has all power necessary, and has been duly authorized, to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party. The Owner is and will continue to be duly authorized to borrow monies hereunder, and Owner is and will continue to have the organizational authority to perform its obligations under this Agreement and under the other Basic Documents to which it is a party. The execution, delivery and performance by Owner of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which Owner is a party and the borrowings hereunder do not and will not require any consent or approval of any Governmental Authority or any other Person which has not already been obtained.

 

(c)        No Conflict; Legal Compliance. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, each of the other Basic Documents to which Owner is a party, and the execution, delivery and payment of the Loan Certificates, does not and will not: (i) contravene any provision of the Trust Agreement, (ii) contravene, conflict with or violate any Applicable Law of the State of Utah or any Applicable Law of the United States governing Owner’s banking and trust powers, or any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Authority; or (iii) violate or result in the breach of, or constitute a default under any indenture or other loan or credit agreement, or other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it, or its property and assets, may be bound or affected. It is not in violation or breach of or default under any Applicable Law, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award or any contract, agreement, lease, license, indenture or other instrument to which it is a party.

8

 

(d)         Validity and Binding Effect. This Agreement and each other Basic Document to which the Owner is a party are the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Owner, enforceable against it, in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, examinership or other similar laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general principles of equity limiting the availability of equitable remedies.

 

(e)         Location. The “location” (as such term is used in Section 9-307 of the UCC) of the Owner is Utah. The name designated for the Owner in its trust agreement as the name for the common law trust formed thereunder is WUL I Trust.

 

(f)          Consents and Approvals; Governmental Action. No approval, authorization or consent of any trustee or holder of any Indebtedness or obligation of the Owner, or of any other Person under any agreement, contract, lease or license or similar document or instrument to which the Owner is a party or by which any such Person is bound, is required to be obtained by the Owner in order to make or consummate the transactions contemplated under this Agreement or the other Basic Documents to which it is a party or, if any such approval, authorization or consent is required, such approval, authorization or consent has been obtained. All consents and approvals of, filings and registrations with, and other actions in respect of, all Governmental Authorities required to be obtained by the Owner in order to make or consummate the transactions contemplated under the Basic Documents to which it is a party have been, or prior to the time when required will have been, obtained, given, filed or taken and are or will be in full force and effect except for such filings or registrations as are contemplated by Section 8.1(l)(ii). No Applicable Law is in effect which could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the ability of the Owner to perform its obligations under the Basic Documents to which it is a party.

 

(g)         Certain Regulations.

 

(i)           The Owner is not an “investment company,” or controlled by, an “investment company,” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

(ii)          None of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the use of the proceeds from the issuance of the Loan Certificates) will violate or result in a violation of Section 7 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and none of the proceeds of the Loan Certificates hereunder will be used to buy or carry margin stock or any other securities.

 

(iii)         Neither the Owner nor anyone acting on its behalf (other than the Arranger, as to which the Owner makes no representation) has offered the Notes or any similar securities for sale to, or solicited any offer to buy any of the same from, or otherwise approached or negotiated in respect thereof with, any person other than the Purchasers and a limited number of entities whom the Owner reasonably believes to be “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act, each of which has been offered the Notes. Assuming the accuracy of the representations of the Purchasers contained in Section 11.10 of the Note Purchase Agreement, neither the Owner nor anyone acting on its behalf (other than the Arranger, as to which the Issuer makes no representation) has taken, or will take, any action that would subject the issuance or sale of the Notes to the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act.

9

 

(iv)       Neither the Owner nor any affiliate (as defined in Rule 501(b) of Regulation D) of the Owner has directly, or through any agent (other than the Arranger, as to which the Issuer makes no representation), (i) sold, offered for sale, solicited offers to buy or otherwise negotiated in respect of, any security (as defined in the Securities Act) which is or could be integrated with the offering and sale of the Notes in a manner that would require the registration of the Notes under the Securities Act or (ii) engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D, including, but not limited to, advertisements, articles, notices or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar medium or broadcast over television or radio, or any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising) in connection with the offering of the Notes. No securities of the same class as the Notes have been issued and sold by the Issuer within the six-month period immediately prior to the date hereof.

 

(h)         Litigation and Contingent Liabilities. No claims, litigation, arbitration proceedings or governmental proceedings by any Governmental Authority are pending or, to the knowledge of the Owner, threatened against or are affecting the Owner. The Owner has no contingent liabilities that are material to the Owner, taken as a whole, other than its obligations hereunder and under the Lease.

 

(i)          No Default. No Sub-Loan Default or Sub-Loan Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

(j)          Title; Liens. On each Borrowing Date, the Owner shall have good title to each Aircraft financed or to be financed hereunder on or prior to such date, the Lease and the other Collateral which is to be held by it in accordance with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and none of such assets shall be subject to any Lien, except for Permitted Liens not of record. At the time any Borrowing or any Drawdown is made, the Owner shall not have assigned, conveyed, pledged or otherwise transferred to any other Person any of its right, title or interest in the Collateral except in accordance with or permitted by the Basic Documents or Aircraft Related Agreements.

 

(k)         Ownership of the Owner. The Owner Participant is the legal and beneficial owner of all Ownership Interests (as defined in the Beneficial Interest Pledge Agreement) issued by the Owner.

The Owner agrees to pay all costs, expenses and other charges in respect of the upfront and ongoing fees and expenses of the Security Trustee as separately agreed. Any amount owed by the Owner under this Section 12 shall be paid by it promptly after it has received, reviewed and approved an invoice or other document reasonably evidencing that an amount is due hereunder.

23

 

(b)          Each of the Owner and the Owner Participant hereby agrees not to assert any claim against the Lender, the Security Trustee, any Holder, any of their affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to any of the transactions contemplated herein or in any other Basic Document.

 

(c)          The Owner agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless on an after-tax basis from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (excluding Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes, which for the avoidance of doubt are dealt with solely under Schedule IV), including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or any Obligor arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Note or Advance or the use of the proceeds therefrom or any payments that the Security Trustee is required to make under any indemnity, (iii) the possession, use, ownership, operation, condition, manufacture, design, registration and maintenance of any Aircraft or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; 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, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

 

(d)          With respect to any Action that is the subject of indemnification under Section 12.3(c), the following procedures shall apply:

 

(i)           if any Action is commenced, as to which an Indemnitee proposes to demand indemnification, such Indemnitee shall notify the Owner with reasonable promptness following the Indemnitee’s being notified of such Action, if the Owner is not a party to such Action; provided, however, that any failure or delay by such Indemnitee to notify the Owner shall not relieve the Owner from its obligations under Section 12.3(c) (except to the extent (but only to the extent) that the Owner shall not have otherwise learned of such Action and it is finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal) that the Owner has been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to promptly notify). With respect to any action or proceeding brought by a third party, the Owner shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such action or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee except as provided below, exercisable by giving written notice to such Indemnitee within ten Business Days after receipt of written notice from the Indemnitee of such Action. Upon assumption by the Owner of the defense of any such Action, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in such Action and to retain its own counsel but the Owner shall not be liable for any legal expenses of other counsel subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof unless (1) the Owner has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (2) the Owner shall have failed to assume the defense and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee in accordance with the preceding sentence, (3) the Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that there are actual or potential conflicting interests between the Owner and the Indemnitee, including situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnitee that are inconsistent with, different from or additional to those available to the Owner (in which case the Owner shall not be entitled to assume the defense of such Action on behalf of the Indemnitee) or (4) the use of counsel chosen by the Owner to represent the Indemnitee would present such counsel with a conflict of interest (in each such case the Owner will pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel), provided, however, that the Owner shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnitees, except to the extent that local counsel, in addition to its regular counsel, is required in order to effectively defend against such action or proceeding; and

24

 

(ii)          the Owner agrees that it will not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in, or otherwise seek to terminate, any pending or threatened Action in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnitee is a party to such Action) unless each affected Indemnitee has given its prior written consent, or the settlement, compromise, consent or termination (i) includes an express unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses described in Section 12.3(c) arising out of such Action and (ii) does not include any admission or assumption of fault on the part of any Indemnitee.

 

12.4        Amendments, Etc. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any provision of this Agreement may be modified or supplemented only by an instrument in writing signed by the Owner, the Security Trustee, the Lender and the Owner Participant, and any provision of this Agreement may be waived by the Lender; provided that, no modification, supplement or waiver shall, unless by an instrument signed by all of the Holders: (i) increase, or extend the term of any of the Commitments, or extend the time or waive any requirement for the reduction or termination of any of the Commitments, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on any Loan Certificate or any fee hereunder, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon or any fee is payable to the Lender hereunder, (v) alter the rights or obligations of the Owner to prepay Loan Certificates, (vi) alter the terms of this Section 12.4, (vii) modify the definitions of “Sub- Loan Event of Default” or “Basic Documents”, (viii) release any Collateral (other than as expressly provided by the Security Documents or other Basic Documents) or (ix) modify Article II of the Mortgage.

(b)        In order to secure the repayment, inter alia, of the Notes, the Lender has agreed in the Security Agreement, among other things, to assign to the Security Trustee its right, title and interest in and to this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Sub-Loan Documents, subject to the reservations and conditions therein set forth. Each of the Owner and the Owner Participant hereby consents to such assignment and acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Security Agreement it being understood that such consent shall not affect any requirement or the absence of any requirement for any consent under any other circumstances.

If the Loan Certificate or Loan Certificates being replaced has become mutilated, a photocopy thereof shall be furnished to the Owner. If the Loan Certificate or Loan Certificates being replaced has been destroyed, lost or stolen, the holder of such Loan Certificate or Loan Certificates shall furnish to the Owner such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to save the Owner harmless and evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Owner of the destruction, loss or theft of such Loan Certificate or Loan Certificates and of the ownership thereof.

 

12.7        Survival. The obligations of the Owner under Sections 5 and 12.3 shall survive the repayment of the Loan Certificates and the termination of the Commitments. In addition, each representation and warranty made, or deemed to be made by a notice of any extension of credit, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and no Lender shall be deemed to have waived, by reason of making any extension of credit hereunder, any Default which may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading.

Each of the Owner and the Owner Participant hereby agrees that service of all writs, process and summonses in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts may be made upon its process agent, and such process agent is its agent (as well as that of its respective successors and assigns) to accept such service of any and all such writs, process and summonses, and agrees that the failure of its process agent to give any notice of any such service of process to it shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment based thereon.

TAX MATTERS

 

(a)          Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Owner hereunder to the Lender or the Security Trustee, under the Loan Certificates and each other Basic Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes; provided that if the Owner shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Schedule IV) the Security Trustee and the Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions and withholdings been made, (ii) the Owner shall, or shall cause the Security Trustee to, make such deductions and withholdings and (iii) the Owner shall, or shall cause the Security Trustee to, pay the full amount deducted and withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

 

(b)          In addition, without duplication of any payments made under Section (a) of this Schedule IV, the Owner shall, or shall cause the Security Trustee to, pay any Indemnified Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and shall indemnify the Security Trustee and the Lender on an After-Tax Basis within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by the Security Trustee or the Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Owner hereunder or under the Basic Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Schedule IV), including reasonable out of pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes are correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. If the Owner disagrees with the Security Trustee’s or the Lender’s determination that an amount is due, or calculation thereof, in respect of Indemnified Taxes for which such Person shall have made a written demand pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Owner shall request in writing within the ten (10) Business Day period for the Owner’s payment of such Indemnified Taxes that such amount shall be verified by an independent public accountant chosen by the Security Trustee or the Lender, as the case may be, and reasonably acceptable to the Owner. Within thirty (30) days after the Owner’s request, the independent public accountant shall confirm the accuracy of the Security Trustee’s or the Lender’s calculation, as the case may be, or shall notify the Security Trustee or the Lender, as the case may be, and the Owner that the calculation of such amount is inaccurate. The costs of such verification shall be borne by the Owner unless such verification discloses an error adverse to the Owner equal to ten percent (10%) or more of the amount determined to be due, in which case such fees shall be paid by the Security Trustee or the Lender, as the case may be. Subject to the execution by the independent public accountant of a confidentiality agreement acceptable to the Security Trustee or the Lender, as the case may be, in such Person’s sole discretion, the Security Trustee or the Lender, as the case may be, agree to cooperate with such independent public accountant and supply them with all information reasonably necessary to permit them to accomplish such review and determination. Such confirmation shall be for the confidential use of the independent public accountant and shall not be disclosed to the Owner or any other Person. In addition, the Owner, the Security Trustee, and the Lender hereby agree that the sole responsibility of the independent public accountant shall be to verify the amount of a payment pursuant to this Schedule IV and that matters of interpretation shall not be within the scope of its responsibilities.

SCHEDULE IV

(c)          As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by the Owner to a Governmental Authority, the Owner shall, or shall cause the Security Trustee to, deliver to the relevant Lender or Lender 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 Lender or Lender.

 

(d)          (i)          The Lender shall deliver to the Owner and the Security Trustee, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Owner or the Security Trustee in writing, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Owner or the Security Trustee in writing (including, without limitation, executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax) as will permit the Owner or the Security Trustee , as applicable, to determine its liability for, and to comply with, any obligation it may have to withhold Taxes with respect to payments owed to the Lender under the Loan Certificates or other Basic Documents or to permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than IRS Form W-9 and such documentation set forth in subclause (ii) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense or prejudice any Tax, legal or commercial position of the Lender.

 

(ii)        Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a payment made to the Lender under any Basic Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the 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, or any intergovernmental agreement as applicable), the Lender shall deliver to the Owner and the Security Trustee (with a copy to each other Lender) at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Owner or the Security Trustee in writing such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code or any intergovernmental agreement) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Owner or the Security Trustee in writing as may be necessary for the Owner and the Security Trustee to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that the Lender has complied with the Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

The Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect as a result of its change in circumstance, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Owner and the Security Trustee in writing of its legal inability to do so.

SCHEDULE IV

Page 2 

 

(e)          If the Owner becomes obligated to pay any Indemnified Taxes pursuant to this Schedule IV, provided no Material Default or Sub-Loan Event of Default exists, the Lender hereby agrees to cooperate with the Owner, at the cost and expense of the Owner, to avoid the imposition of such Tax, including, without limitation, by designating a different applicable lending office for the Loan Certificates of the Lender incurring such Tax or otherwise restructuring the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents, provided that such designation or restructuring will not, in the reasonable opinion of the Lender, be disadvantageous to the Lender.

 

(f)           (A) Provided neither a Material Default nor a Sub-Loan Event of Default exists, if the Security Trustee or the Lender, as the case may be, receives a refund of any withholding Taxes in respect of which additional amounts were paid by the Owner pursuant to this Schedule IV, the Security Trustee or the Lender, as the case may be, shall promptly pay to the Owner the amount of such refund plus any interest received on such refund fairly attributable to such Tax and not in excess of amounts previously paid by the Owner to the Security Trustee or the Lender pursuant to this Schedule IV (other than interest actually received on such refund and fairly attributable to such Tax). Provided neither a Material Default nor a Sub-Loan Event of Default exists, the Security Trustee and the Lender shall in good faith use diligence in filing its tax returns and in dealing with taxing authorities to seek and claim any such refund and to minimize the Taxes payable or indemnifiable by the Owner hereunder if it can do so, in its sole opinion, without adverse consequences. (B) Provided neither a Material Default nor a Sub-Loan Event of Default exists, if the Security Trustee or the Lender, as the case may be, actually utilizes any credit with respect to any withholding Taxes in respect of which additional amounts were paid by the Owner pursuant to this Schedule IV, the Security Trustee or the Lender, as the case may be, shall pay to the Owner an amount equal to the amount of such credit, but not in excess of amounts previously paid by the Owner to the Security Trustee or the Lender, provided, however, that no Person shall be required to claim any credit if to do so would, in its sole opinion, result in any adverse consequences to it, and provided further that no Person shall be required to claim any credit in respect of this Schedule IV in priority of any other credits (any utilization of such credit being in such Person’s sole discretion). Any refund or credit not paid by the Security Trustee or the Lender, as the case may be, because a Material Default or Sub-Loan Event of Default exists, shall be held by such Person and may be applied by such Person to reduce the amount of any obligation of the Owner under this Agreement then due and not made, and the amount held by such Person in excess of the amount of any such reduction (if any) shall be paid to the Owner when such Material Default and/or Sub-Loan Event of Default shall have been cured and all amounts then due and payable to the Lender under this Agreement, the Lease and the other Basic Documents shall have been fully paid. In addition, any refund or credit which is subsequently disallowed shall be promptly repaid by the Owner on the demand of the Security Trustee or the Lender, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Basic Document, neither the Owner nor any other Person shall have any right to inspect any tax return, document, books or records of the Lender, the Security Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates.

 

(g)          The Lender hereby agrees to reimburse the Owner or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, for any Taxes collected by way of withholding which the Owner or the Security Trustee fails to withhold on payments to the Lender as a direct result of the failure of the Lender to provide the form or certificate required to be provided by the Lender by clause (d) hereof or the inaccuracy or invalidity of any such form or certificate required to be provided by the Lender by clause (d) hereof.

SCHEDULE IV

Page 3 

 

(h)          For purposes of this Schedule IV, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

After-Tax Basis” shall mean on a basis that any payment to be received or receivable by any Person is supplemented by a further payment or payments to such Person so that the sum of all such payments, after deducting the net amount of all Taxes payable by such Person or any of its Affiliates under any law as a result of the receipt or accrual of such payment (after reduction by the amount of current Taxes saved by such Person as a result of the event or item for which the payments are being made to such Person), is equal to the payment due to such Person.

 

Code” shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (including any successor thereto).

 

Excluded Taxes” shall mean, with respect to the Security Trustee, the Lender, or any other recipient of any payment to be made by or on account of any obligation of the Owner hereunder, (a) any Taxes imposed on all or part of the net income, net profits or net gains (whether worldwide, or only insofar as such income, profits or gains are considered to arise in or to relate to a particular jurisdiction or otherwise) of such Person, in each such case imposed on such Person by any jurisdiction (i) in which such Person is organized, (ii) in which such Person’s principal office is located, or (iii) in the case of the Lender, in which such Person’s applicable lending office is located, (b) any Taxes imposed on a transferee of the Lender or on payments to a transferee to the extent that, under Applicable Law in effect on the date of the transfer to such transferee, the amount of such Taxes exceeds the amount of such Taxes that would have been imposed on the original Lender or on payments to such original Lender and indemnified against hereunder (with appropriate adjustment to reflect the amount of the Loan Certificate acquired by such transferee) (provided, however, this clause (b) shall not apply if such change is made at the request of Owner, required by Applicable Law, or as a result of a Sub-Loan Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing), (c) any Taxes which would not have been imposed or suffered but for a reasonably avoidable delay or failure by the affected Lender in filing Tax computations or returns or in paying any Tax which it is required by the Applicable Law of the jurisdiction of its lending office to file or, as applicable, pay without regard to the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents, (d) any Taxes that result from (i) that Lender’s breach of any of its express obligations or misrepresentations under the Basic Documents (other than a breach attributable to the breach by Owner of its obligations under the Basic Documents or a breach by any other party to any Basic Document of its obligation under Basic Documents), (ii) the Lender’s failure to comply with paragraph (d) of the Schedule IV, or (iii) or the Lender’s fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence (unless imputed by Applicable Law), (e) any Taxes assessed on that Lender by any jurisdiction that would not have been so assessed but for activities or present or former connection of that Lender in or to such jurisdiction wholly unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents, and (f) any U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA.

SCHEDULE IV

Page 4

(a)          Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, as of the date of this Agreement (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), any current or future regulations or official written interpretations thereof and any written agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code, or

 

(b)          any treaty, law, regulation or other official written guidance enacted in any other jurisdiction, or relating to an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and any other jurisdiction, which (in either case) facilitates the implementation of paragraph (a) above; or

 

(c)          any written agreement pursuant to the implementation of paragraphs (a) or (b) above with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. government or any governmental or taxation authority in any other jurisdiction.
