Amount and Terms of the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan

 

Section 2.1            Advances.

 

(a)           Revolving Credit Facility. The Lender agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, to make Advances to the Borrowers under the Revolving Credit Facility (each an “Advance”) from time to time from the date all of the conditions set forth in Section 3.1 hereof are satisfied (the “Funding Date”) to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the Maximum Line. The Borrowers’ obligation to repay the Advances under this subsection shall be evidenced by the Revolving Note and shall be secured pursuant to the Security Documents and by the Collateral. Within the limits set forth in this subsection, the Borrowers may borrow, repay in accordance with the terms hereof and reborrow from the Revolving Credit Facility. The Borrowers agree to comply with the following procedures in requesting Advances under this subsection:

 

(i)         The Borrowers shall make each request for an Advance to the Lender before 11:00 a.m. (Minneapolis time) of the day of the requested Advance. Requests may be made in writing, by facsimile, online or by telephone, specifying the date of the requested Advance and the amount thereof. Each request shall be by (A) any officer of the Borrowers; (B) any person designated as the Borrowers’ agent by any officer of the Borrowers in a writing delivered to the Lender; or (C) any person whom the Lender reasonably believes to be an officer of the Borrowers or such a designated agent.

(ii)         Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III hereof, the Lender shall disburse the proceeds of the requested Advance by crediting the same to the Borrowers’ demand deposit accounts maintained at the Lender unless the Lender and the Borrowers shall agree in writing to another manner of disbursement. Upon the Lender’s request, the Borrowers shall promptly confirm each telephonic request for an Advance by executing and delivering an appropriate confirmation certificate to the Lender. The Borrowers shall repay all Advances even if the Lender does not receive such confirmation and even if the person requesting an Advance was not in fact authorized to do so. Any request for an Advance, whether written or telephonic, shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrowers that the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 hereof have been satisfied as of the time of the request.

 

(b)           Letter of Credit Subfacility. At the request of the Borrowers, the Lender agrees to issue one or more Letters of Credit on behalf of the Borrowers under the Revolving Credit Facility subject to satisfaction of all terms and conditions required by the Lender in connection therewith (including, without limitation, containing expiry dates and accompanied by the execution and delivery of such Letter of Credit applications and other documents and certificates as the Lender may require from time to time). The Borrowers agree to pay to the Lender a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) in connection with each Letter of Credit issued hereunder in an amount equal to two percent (2.00%) per annum of the face amount of such Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit Fee with respect to a Letter of Credit issued hereunder shall be payable quarterly in arrears of the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and on each calendar quarter thereafter until such Letter of Credit is terminated. Any Letter of Credit Fee paid hereunder shall be deemed fully earned and non-refundable upon the payment thereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Revolving Note or any other documents delivered in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility (the “Related Documents”), in no event will the Lender consider any request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to the requested Letter of Credit:

 

(i)         at such time, the sum of the face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and all Advances exceeds the Maximum Line;

 

(ii)        a Default or Event of Default exists hereunder or would result from the issuance of the requested Letter of Credit

 

(iii)       the expiry date for the requested Letter of Credit would be later than twelve (12) months from its issuance date; or

(iv)         the aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, plus the requested Letter of Credit, would total an amount greater than $5,000,000.00.

 

The Borrowers agree to pay to the Lender on demand:

 

(i)         the amount, if any, drawn on any Letter of Credit (whether drawn before, on, or, if in accordance with the law applicable to such Letter of Credit, after its stated expiry date), and

 

(ii)         interest on all amounts referred to in (A)(1) below from the date of such draw until payment in full at a fluctuating rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate. The Borrowers’ obligations under this paragraph shall survive the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

 

(A)         If any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any court or administrative or governmental authority charged with the administration thereof shall either (1) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against Letters of Credit issued by, or assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, the Lender, or (2) impose on the Lender any other condition regarding the Letters of Credit, and the result of any event referred to in clause (1) or (2) above shall be to increase the cost to the Lender of issuing or maintaining the Letters of Credit (which increase in cost shall be determined by the Lender’s reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such cost increases resulting from such event), the Borrowers agree to immediately pay to the Lender, from time to time as specified by the Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Lender for such increased cost.

 

(B)         The obligations of Borrowers shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances including, without limitation, the following: (1) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any other agreement relating thereto; or (2) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other rights that the Borrowers may have at any time against any beneficiary (or any person holding through or on behalf of such beneficiary), whether in connection with any Related Document or otherwise; or (3) any statement or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or (iv) any other circumstance or event whatsoever.

 

(C)         The Lender is authorized, but not obligated, to pay any draw presented under any Letter of Credit by charging any of the Borrowers’ accounts therefor, the sums so charged being evidenced by the Revolving Note as an Advance thereunder, whether or not the making of such Advance causes an Event of Default. If any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding after the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the Borrowers shall deliver cash collateral in the face amount of such Letter of Credit, to be held subject to subsection (D) hereof.

(D)         Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lender shall be entitled to make an Advance under this Agreement, whether or not such Advance exceeds the Maximum Line then in effect, in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. The proceeds of such Advance shall be deposited in an account established at and maintained with the Lender (the “Letter of Credit Collateral Account”) and applied to the payment of any draws under the Letters of Credit as the same may be made. The Borrowers hereby assign and pledge to the Lender, and grant the Lender a security interest in, the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and all monies and other things of value, now or hereafter contained therein, and all proceeds thereof. In the event that there are proceeds remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account after the payments, expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit such remaining proceeds shall either be applied to the payment of amounts outstanding hereunder or returned to the Borrowers, at the sole discretion of the Lender.

 

(c)           Term Loan. The Lender agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, to make the Term Loan to the Borrowers. The Term Loan shall be evidenced by and repayable with interest in accordance with the Term Note and secured pursuant to the Security Documents and by the Collateral.

 

Section 2.2            Principal; Interest; Default Interest; Participations; Usury.

 

(a)           Interest – Revolving Note. Except as set forth in subsections (e) and (g) below, the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Note shall accrue interest at an annual rate equal to two percent (2.00%) plus the greater of (i) zero percent (0.0%) and (ii) the one-month forward-looking term rate based on SOFR quoted by Lender from the Term SOFR Administrator’s Website (or other commercially available source providing such quotations as may be selected by Lender from time to time) (“Term SOFR”), which shall be that one-month Term SOFR rate in effect two New York Banking Days prior to the Rate Adjustment Date, adjusted for any reserve requirement and any subsequent costs arising from a change in government regulation, and reset monthly on each Rate Adjustment Date; provided that if the Term SOFR rate is not published on such New York Banking Day due to a holiday or other circumstance that Lender deems in its sole discretion to be temporary, the applicable Term SOFR rate shall be the Term SOFR rate last published prior to such New York Banking Day. If the initial advance on any facility to which this paragraph applies occurs other than on the Rate Adjustment Date, the initial one-month Term SOFR rate shall be that one-month Term SOFR rate in effect two New York Banking Days prior to the later of (a) the immediately preceding Rate Adjustment Date and (b) the Closing Date, which rate plus the percentage described above shall be in effect until the next Rate Adjustment Date. If Term SOFR is replacing a different rate index for an existing facility, and if such replacement becomes effective on a date other than the Rate Adjustment Date, the initial one-month Term SOFR rate hereunder shall be that one-month Term SOFR rate in effect two New York Banking Days prior to the effective date of such replacement, which rate plus the percentage described above shall be in effect until the next Rate Adjustment Date. The term “Term SOFR Administrator’s Website” means the website or any successor source for Term SOFR identified by CME Group Benchmark Administration Ltd. (or a successor administrator of Term SOFR). If Lender has determined in its sole discretion that (i) the administrator of Term SOFR, or any relevant agency or authority for such administrator of Term SOFR (or any substitute index which replaces Term SOFR (Term SOFR or such replacement, the “Benchmark”), has announced that such Benchmark will no longer be provided, (ii) any relevant agency or authority has announced that such Benchmark is no longer representative, or (iii) any similar circumstance exists such that such Benchmark has become permanently unavailable or ceased to exist, Lender will (x) replace such Benchmark with a replacement rate or (y) if any such circumstance applies to fewer than all tenors of such Benchmark used for determining an interest period hereunder, discontinue the availability of the affected interest periods. In the case of Term SOFR, such replacement rate will be Daily Simple SOFR. In the case of a replacement rate other than Term SOFR, Lender may add a spread adjustment selected by the Lender, taking into consideration any selection or recommendation of a replacement rate by any relevant agency or authority, and evolving or prevailing market practice. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) “SOFR” means the secured overnight financing rate which is published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (together with any committees convened by the Board, the “Board”) and available at www.newyorkfed.org; and (b) “Daily Simple SOFR” means a daily rate based on SOFR and determined by Lender in accordance with the conventions for such rate selected by Lender. In connection with the selection and implementation of any such replacement rate, Lender may make any technical, administrative or operational changes that Lender decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such replacement rate. Without limitation of the foregoing, in the case of a transition to Daily Simple SOFR, Lender will remove any option to select another rate that may change or is reset on a daily basis, including, without limitation, Lender’s prime rate. Lender does not warrant or accept any responsibility for the administration or submission of, or any other matter related to, Term SOFR or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation whether any such alternative, successor or replacement rate will have the same value as, or be economically equivalent to, Term SOFR. Lender’s internal records of applicable interest rates shall be determinative in the absence of manifest error. Interest accrued on amounts outstanding under the Revolving Note shall be due and payable in arrears on the first (1st) day of each calendar month, commencing on April 1, 2024, and shall be payable in full on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

If the initial advance on any facility to which this paragraph applies occurs other than on the Rate Adjustment Date, the initial one-month Term SOFR rate shall be that one-month Term SOFR rate in effect two New York Banking Days prior to the later of (a) the immediately preceding Rate Adjustment Date and (b) the Closing Date, which rate plus the percentage described above shall be in effect until the next Rate Adjustment Date. If Term SOFR is replacing a different rate index for an existing facility, and if such replacement becomes effective on a date other than the Rate Adjustment Date, the initial one-month Term SOFR rate hereunder shall be that one-month Term SOFR rate in effect two New York Banking Days prior to the effective date of such replacement, which rate plus the percentage described above shall be in effect until the next Rate Adjustment Date. If Lender has determined in its sole discretion that (i) the administrator of Term SOFR, or any relevant agency or authority for such administrator of Term SOFR (or any substitute index which replaces Term SOFR) has announced that such Benchmark will no longer be provided, (ii) any relevant agency or authority has announced that such Benchmark is no longer representative, or (iii) any similar circumstance exists such that such Benchmark has become permanently unavailable or ceased to exist, Lender will (x) replace such Benchmark with a replacement rate or (y) if any such circumstance applies to fewer than all tenors of such Benchmark used for determining an interest period hereunder, discontinue the availability of the affected interest periods. In the case of Term SOFR, such replacement rate will be Daily Simple SOFR. In the case of a replacement rate other than Term SOFR, Lender may add a spread adjustment selected by the Lender, taking into consideration any selection or recommendation of a replacement rate by any relevant agency or authority, and evolving or prevailing market practice.

Lender’s internal records of applicable interest rates shall be determinative in the absence of manifest error. Interest accrued on amounts outstanding under the Term Note shall be due and payable in arrears on the first (1st) day of each calendar month, commencing on April 1, 2024, and shall be payable in full on the Maturity Date.

Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a New York Banking Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding New York Banking Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest on the Advances or the fees hereunder, as the case may be.

 

Section 2.11           Use of Proceeds. The Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the Notes as follows: (a) proceeds of the Term Note shall refinance certain existing indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility and also for any other lawful corporate purpose, and (b) proceeds the Revolving Note shall be for working capital purposes, to finance capital expenditures and for any other lawful corporate purpose including for Potential Acquisitions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrowers may not distribute or otherwise loan any proceeds of the Notes to any Subsidiary or any Affiliate that is not a Borrower.

 

Section 2.12           Liability Records. The Lender may maintain from time to time, at its discretion, liability records as to the Obligations.

Any billing statement or accounting rendered by the Lender shall be conclusive and fully binding on the Borrowers unless the Borrowers give the Lender specific written notice of exception within thirty (30) days after receipt.

(iii)         impose on the Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any Loan or any Letter of Credit,

 

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

 

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

 

Section 2.14          Certificates for Reimbursement; Delay in Requests. A certificate of the Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.13 and delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to Section 2.13 shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate the Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that the Lender notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of the Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 

Section 2.15          SOFR Unavailability. If SOFR becomes unavailable or ceases to exist, the Lender may, in its discretion, designate a successor to SOFR (which may include a successor index and a spread adjustment). In connection with the selection and implementation of any such replacement rate, the Lender may make any technical, administrative or operational changes that the Lender decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such replacement rate. The Lender does not warrant or accept any responsibility for the administration or submission of, or any other matter related to, SOFR or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation whether any such alternative, successor or replacement rate will have the same value as, or be economically equivalent to, SOFR.

Section 2.16          Taxes.

 

(a)           Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the applicable Loan Party may make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

 

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

 

(c)           Indemnification by Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16) payable or paid by the Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)           Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.16, such Loan Party shall deliver to the 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.

 

(e)           Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.16 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16), it shall pay to the applicable Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such Loan Party, upon the request of the Lender, shall repay to the Lender the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.16(e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) if the Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.16(e), in no event will the Lender be required to pay any amount pursuant to this Section 2.16(e) the payment of which would place the Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.16(e) shall not be construed to require the Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

As of the date hereof, the ownership of each Borrower is shown on Schedule 6.13 and each Borrower shall provide an updated Schedule on each one (1) year anniversary of the date hereof and evidence of compliance with the above covenant in connection therewith.

The Borrowers shall not refinance any of the Subordinated Debt with proceeds of the Notes unless approved by Lender in writing.

 

Section 6.15           OFAC. The Borrowers shall at all times comply with the requirements of all OFAC Sanctions Programs applicable to the Borrowers and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to comply with the requirements of all OFAC Sanctions Programs applicable to such Subsidiary. The Borrowers shall provide Lender any information regarding Borrowers, their Affiliates, and their Subsidiaries necessary for the Lender to comply with all applicable OFAC Sanctions Programs; subject however, in the case of Affiliates, to the Borrowers’ ability to provide information applicable to them; If Borrowers obtain actual knowledge or receives any written notice that any of the Borrowers, any Affiliate or any Subsidiary is named on the then current OFAC SDN List (such occurrence, an “OFAC Event”), the Borrowers shall promptly (i) give written notice to the Lender of such OFAC Event, and (ii) comply with all applicable laws with respect to such OFAC Event (regardless of whether the party included on the OFAC SDN List is located within the jurisdiction of the United States of America), including the OFAC Sanctions Programs, and the Borrowers hereby authorize and consent to the Lender taking any and all steps the Lender deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to avoid violation of all applicable laws with respect to any such OFAC Event, including the requirements of the OFAC Sanctions Programs (including the freezing and/or blocking of assets and reporting such action to OFAC).

ARTICLE VIII.

 

Miscellaneous

 

Section 8.1            No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

Section 8.4            Further Documents. The Borrowers will from time to time execute and deliver or endorse any and all instruments, documents, conveyances, assignments, security agreements, financing statements and other agreements and writings that the Lender may request in order to secure, protect, perfect or enforce the Security Interest or the Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents (but any failure to request or assure that each of the Borrowers executes, delivers or endorses any such item shall not affect or impair the validity, sufficiency or enforceability of the Loan Documents and the Security Interest, regardless of whether any such item was or was not executed, delivered or endorsed in a similar context or on a prior occasion).

 

Section 8.5            Collateral. Neither this Agreement nor any of the Security Documents contemplate a sale of accounts, contract rights or chattel paper, and, as provided by law, the Borrowers are entitled to any surplus and shall remain liable for any deficiency.

Section 8.6            Costs and Expenses. Each of the Borrowers agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses, including (without limitation) attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Lender in connection with the Obligations, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other document or agreement related hereto or thereto, and the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation all such costs, expenses and fees incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, amendment, administration, performance, collection and enforcement of the Obligations and all such documents and agreements and the creation, perfection, protection, satisfaction, foreclosure or enforcement of the Security Interest.

 

Section 8.7            Indemnity. In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof, each of the Borrowers agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Lender, and any of its participants, parent corporations, subsidiary corporations, affiliated corporations, successor corporations, and all present and future officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents of the foregoing (the “Indemnitees”) from and against any of the following (collectively, “Indemnified Liabilities”):

 

(a)           any and all transfer taxes, documentary taxes, assessments or charges made by any Governmental Authority by reason of the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents or the making of the Advances;

 

(b)          any claims, loss or damage to which any Indemnitee may be subjected if any representation or warranty contained in Section 4.12 hereof proves to be incorrect in any respect or as a result of any violation of the covenant contained in Section 5.4(b) hereof; and

 

(c)           any and all other liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, suits, claims, costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) in connection with the foregoing and any other investigative, administrative or judicial proceedings, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto, which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee, in any manner related to or arising out of or in connection with the making of the Advances and the Loan Documents or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Notes, except to the extent that any event giving rise to a claim was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified.

 

If any investigative, judicial or administrative proceeding arising from any of the foregoing is brought against any Indemnitee, upon such Indemnitee’s request, the Borrowers, or counsel designated by the Borrowers and satisfactory to the Indemnitee, will resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indemnitee, at the Borrowers’ sole costs and expense. Each Indemnitee will use its best efforts to cooperate in the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding. If the foregoing undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless may be held to be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, the Borrowers shall nevertheless make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. The Borrowers’ obligation under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of the Borrowers’ other obligations hereunder.

Section 8.8            Successors and Assigns.

 

(a)           Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 8.8(c) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the related parties of the Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

(b)          Assignments by Lender. The Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Loans at the time owing to it).

 

(c)           Participations. The Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers, sell participations to any Person (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of the Lender’s rights or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Facility or the Loans); provided that (i) the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the Borrower for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrowers shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with this Agreement.

 

Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13 and 2.16 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 8.8(b); provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.13 and 2.16, with respect to any participation, than the Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.9 as though it were a Lender.

 

(d)          Certain Pledges. The Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of the Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment may release the Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lender as a party hereto.

Each Borrower hereby grants the Lender a security interest in all deposits, credits and deposit accounts (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) of each Borrower with the Lender or any Affiliate of the Lender (the “Deposits”) to secure the Obligations. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lender under applicable law, if any Borrower becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Event of Default occurs, each Borrower authorizes the Lender and its Affiliates to offset and apply all such Deposits toward the payment of the Obligations owing to the Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part thereof, are contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch office or Affiliate of the Lender different from the branch office or Affiliate holding such Deposit and regardless of the existence or adequacy of any collateral, guaranty or any other security, right or remedy available to the Lender.

 

Section 8.10          Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement and other Loan Documents may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

Section 8.11          Binding Effect; Assignment; Complete Agreement; Exchanging Information. The Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers and the Lender and their respective successors and assigns (except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by generally principles of equity), except that the Borrowers shall not have the right to assign their rights thereunder or any interest therein without the Lender’s prior written consent. This Agreement, together with the Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter hereof. Without limiting the Lender’s right to share information regarding the Borrowers and any Affiliate with the Lender’s participants, accountants, lawyers and other advisors, the Lender may exchange any and all information it may have in its possession regarding the Borrowers or any Affiliate, and each of the Borrowers waives any right of confidentiality it may have with respect to such exchange of such information.

 

Section 8.12          Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof.

Section 8.16           Document Imaging; Telecopy and PDF Signatures; Electronic Signatures. Without notice to or consent of the Borrowers, the Lender may create electronic images of any Loan Documents and destroy paper originals of any such imaged documents.

The Lender may convert any Loan Document into a “transferrable record” as such term is defined under, and to the extent permitted by, UETA, with the image of such instrument in the Lender’s possession constituting an “authoritative copy” under UETA. If the Lender agrees, in its sole discretion, to accept delivery by telecopy or PDF of an executed counterpart of a signature page of any Loan Document or other document required to be delivered under the Loan Documents, such delivery will be valid and effective as delivery of an original manually executed counterpart of such document for all purposes.

The Lender may rely on any such electronic signatures without further inquiry.
