Each L/C Participant shall be deemed to have irrevocably accepted and purchased from such Issuing Lender and hereby accepts and purchases from each Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to (i) such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Percentage in each Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder (other than Extending Letters of Credit) or (ii) such L/C Participant’s Extending Revolving Credit Percentage in such Extending Letter of Credit. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender, upon demand at the Administrative Agent’s Payment Office (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender) an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Percentage (or, in the case of Extending Letters of Credit, such L/C Participant’s Extending Revolving Credit Percentage) of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. Upon any change in the respective Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Percentages (or Extending Revolving Credit Commitments or Extending Revolving Credit Percentages in the case of Extending Letters of Credit) of the Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all such outstanding Letters of Credit or, as the case may be, Extending Letters of Credit and, in each case, any related Payment Amounts, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 3.4 to reflect the new Revolving Credit Percentages (or Extending Revolving Credit Percentages in the case of Extending Letters of Credit) of the assignor and assignee Lender or of all Lenders with respective Revolving Credit Commitments (or Extending Revolving Credit Commitments in the case of Extending Letters of Credit), as applicable.

If any Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment (a) becomes a Defaulting Lender or (b) is at risk, in the reasonable discretion of an Issuing Lender, of becoming a Defaulting Lender at any time that any Letter of Credit is outstanding, the Borrower shall enter into the applicable Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements with such Issuing Lender or Issuing Lenders no later than 10 Business Days after the date the Borrower receives notice from such Issuing Lender requesting the applicable Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements.”

    Applicable     Applicable        
    Margin     Margin     Commitment Fee Rate for

The Applicable Margin and Commitment Fee Rate with respect to Extending Revolving Credit Loans and Extending Revolving Credit Commitments shall be as set forth in the initial Extending Revolving Credit Commitment Agreement.
Changes in the Applicable Margin and the Commitment Fee Rate with respect to Revolving Credit Loans resulting from changes in the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall become effective on the date (the “Adjustment Date”) on which financial statements are delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Section 6.1 (but in any event not later than the 45th day after the end of each of the first three quarterly periods of each fiscal year or the 90th day after the end of each fiscal year, as the case may be) and shall remain in effect until the next change to be effected pursuant to this paragraph. If any financial statements referred to above are not delivered within the time periods specified above, then, until such financial statements are delivered, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as at the end of the fiscal period that would have been covered thereby shall for the purposes of this definition be deemed to be greater than 6.00. In the event that any financial statement or Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 or 6.2 is shown to be inaccurate, and such inaccuracy, if corrected would have led to a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than such margin applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) the Borrower shall immediately deliver to Administrative Agent a corrected Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to the corrected Compliance Certificate (but in no event shall the Lenders owe any amounts to the Borrower), and (iii) the Borrower shall immediately pay to Administrative Agent the additional interest owing as a result of such increased margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof (it being understood and agreed that nothing in this section shall limit the rights of Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder).”

The Borrower hereby consents to the appointment of the Successor Agent as Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

25


 

3.3 Required Lender Instruction and Agreement. The Required Lenders hereby instruct each of the Administrative Agent and the Successor Agent to execute and deliver an Amendment, Resignation, Waiver, Consent and Appointment Agreement (the “Agency Transfer Agreement”) in substantially the form set forth on Exhibit F hereto. The Required Lenders acknowledge and agree that the provisions of Section 9.4 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to each of the Administrative Agent and the Successor Agent, and that each of them shall in all cases be fully protected in acting in accordance with the foregoing request.

3.4 Indemnification and Expense Reimbursement for the Successor Agent. The parties hereto hereby agree that, notwithstanding the appointment of the Successor Agent not taking effect until the Agency Transfer Date, the Successor Agent and its affiliates shall be entitled to the benefits and protections of Section 9.3 (Exculpatory Provisions), Section 9.4 (Reliance by Agents), Section 9.6 (Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders), Section 9.7 (Indemnification) and Section 10.5 (Payment of Expenses) of the Credit Agreement as if the Successor Agent and its affiliates were the Administrative Agent as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date.
3.5 Limitation. Each of the Borrower and each Required Lender hereby agrees that this Amendment and the Agency Transfer Agreement (i) does not impose on LCPI affirmative obligations or indemnities to which it was not already subject, as of the date of its petition commencing its proceeding under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code, and that could give rise to any administrative expense claims other than claims arising as a result of (x) the failure by LCPI to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or (y) any representation or warranty of LCPI set forth herein or therein not being true and correct on and as of the date hereof, thereof and the Agency Transfer Date and (ii) is not inconsistent with the terms of the Credit Agreement.
Section 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE BORROWER. In order to induce the Required Lenders to enter into this Amendment, the Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:
4.1 Organizational Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. The Borrower has the organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform this Amendment and each Subsidiary Guarantor has the organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Consent of Guarantors in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Consent”). Each Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate or other action to authorize the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment and the Consent, as applicable, and the performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party as modified by this Amendment. This Amendment and the Consent have each been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto. This Amendment, the Consent, and the Loan Documents, as amended by this Amendment, constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

 

26


 

4.2 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment, the Consent and the Loan Documents, as modified by this Amendment, will not violate in any material respect any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents or permitted thereunder). No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.3 No Default. After giving effect to this Amendment, no event has occurred, is continuing, or will result from, the execution and delivery of this Amendment or the Consent that would constitute a Default or an Event of Default.
4.4 Representations and Warranties. After giving effect to this Amendment, each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects as if made on and as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date.
Section 5. CONDITIONS TO EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS AMENDMENT. This Amendment, and the consents and approvals contained herein, shall be effective on the date when each of the following conditions has been satisfied:
5.1 Execution of Amendment. The Borrower and the Required Lenders shall have executed and delivered this Amendment.
5.2 Execution of Subsidiary Guarantor Consent. Each of the Guarantors shall have executed and delivered the Consent of Guarantors in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto.
5.3 Representations and Warranties. Each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date as if made on and as of such date after giving effect to this Amendment.
5.4 No Default. After giving effect to this Amendment and the extension of credit to be made on such date and the application of the proceeds of such extension of credit, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date.
5.5 Delivery of Documents. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “Lead Arranger”) shall have received such other documents as the Lead Arranger may reasonably request in connection with this Amendment.
5.6 Fees.
(a) The Borrower shall have transmitted, in immediately available funds, to each Lender consenting in writing to this Amendment by a date to be specified to the Lenders by the Borrower and the Lead Arranger, an amendment fee equal to an amount as agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders.
(b) The Lead Arranger shall have received payment in immediately available funds of all fees, costs and expenses of its counsel in connection with this Amendment and any other fees separately agreed with the Borrower.

 

27


 

5.7 Approvals. All governmental and third party approvals (other than the Nevada Gaming Commission’s approval of the transfer of the Pledge Agreement (Gaming Regulated) with respect to the membership interest in PNK (Reno), LLC contemplated under the Agency Transfer Agreement) necessary or advisable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Amendment and the amendments to the other Loan Documents, if any, shall have been obtained and be in full force and effect or otherwise applied for or requested (and the Borrower has no reason to believe that they will not be obtained in due course), and all applicable waiting periods shall have expired without any action being taken or threatened by any competent authority which would restrain, prevent or otherwise impose adverse conditions on the amendments contemplated hereby.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provisions of this Amendment that require the written consent of the existing Issuing Lender to become effective (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall relate solely to the amendments to Section 3 of the Credit Agreement contemplated by this Amendment) shall not be effective as against such Issuing Lender until the date on which such Issuing Lender has executed this Amendment or otherwise agreed in writing that such provisions of this Amendment are effective with respect to it.
Section 6. EFFECT OF AMENDMENT; RATIFICATION. This Amendment is a Loan Document. From and after the date on which this Amendment becomes effective, all references in the Loan Documents to the “Credit Agreement” shall mean the Credit Agreement as amended hereby. Except as expressly amended hereby or waived herein, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the Liens granted thereunder, shall remain in full force and effect, and all terms and provisions thereof are hereby ratified and confirmed.
Section 7. BORROWER CONFIRMATION. The Borrower confirms that as amended hereby, each of the Loan Documents is in full force and effect, and that none of the Loan Parties has any defenses, setoffs or counterclaims to its Obligations.
Section 8. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Section 9. NO WAIVER. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment does not constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, amend or modify any provision of any Loan Document or constitute a course of dealing or any other basis for altering the Obligations of any Loan Party.
Section 10. INTEGRATION. The Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as amended by this Amendment) represents the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein.
Section 11. CAPTIONS. The catchlines and captions herein are intended solely for convenience of reference and shall not be used to interpret or construe the provisions hereof.
Section 12. COUNTERPARTS. This Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Amendment on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Amendment shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Amendment signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Administrative Agent.

Each lender (each an “Extending Revolving Credit Lender”) party to this letter agreement (this “Agreement”) hereby severally agrees to convert, increase or provide the Extending Revolving Credit Commitment(s) set forth on Annex I attached hereto (for each such Extending Revolving Credit Lender, its “Extending Revolving Credit Commitment”).

Each Extending Revolving Credit Lender also agrees that the Applicable Margin, Commitment Fee Rate and other provisions set forth on Annex I attached hereto shall be applicable to its Extending Revolving Credit Commitments.

 

 


 

Each Extending Revolving Credit Lender party to this Agreement (i) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with copies of the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.1 thereof and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and to become a Lender under the Credit Agreement, (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Agents, the Arrangers or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto, (iii) appoints and authorizes the Agents to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto as are delegated to the Agents by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, (iv) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender, and (v) in the case of each lending institution organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, attaches the forms prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States, certifying as to its entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding taxes with respect to all payments to be made under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Upon the execution of a counterpart of this Agreement by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the delivery to the Administrative Agent of a fully executed copy (including by way of counterparts and by fax) hereof and the payment of any fees required in connection herewith, each Extending Revolving Credit Lender party hereto shall become (or remain) a Lender pursuant to the Credit Agreement and, to the extent provided in this Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder and under the other Loan Documents.
You may accept this Agreement by signing the enclosed copies in the space provided below, and returning one copy of same to us before the close of business on  _____,  _____. If you do not so accept this Agreement by such time, your Extending Revolving Credit Commitments set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed cancelled.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

WHEREAS, On October 5, 2008, the Existing Agent commenced a voluntary case under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”);
WHEREAS, the Existing Agent desires to resign as Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, the Required Lenders appointed Barclays Bank PLC as successor Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Successor Agent”) under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date (as defined below), and instructed both the Existing Agent and the Successor Agent to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Borrower desires to ratify such appointment, and the Successor Agent wishes to accept such appointment.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Agency Resignation, Waiver, Consent and Appointment.
(a) As of the Effective Date (as defined below), (i) the Existing Agent hereby resigns as the Administrative Agent as provided under Section 9.9 (Successor Administrative Agent) of the Credit Agreement and shall have no further obligations under the Loan Documents in such capacity; (ii) Barclays Bank PLC hereby accepts the appointment by the Required Lenders (and the consent thereto by the Borrower) set forth in the Fourth Amendment as Successor Agent; (iii) the Successor Agent shall bear no responsibility for any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Existing Agent while the Existing Agent served as Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (iv) each of the Existing Agent and Borrower authorizes the Successor Agent to file any assignments or amendments with respect to the Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statements, Mortgages, and other filings in respect of the Collateral as the Successor Agent deems necessary or desirable and each party hereto agrees to execute any documentation and to take such other actions as may reasonably be necessary to evidence the resignation and appointment described herein; provided that the Existing Agent shall bear no responsibility for any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Successor Agent under this clause (iv).

 

 


 

(b) The parties hereto hereby confirm, as of the Effective Date, that the Successor Agent succeeds to the rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and becomes vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender under each of the Loan Documents, and the Existing Agent is discharged from all of its duties and obligations as the Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(c) The parties hereto hereby confirm that, as of the Effective Date, all of the indemnification and other similar provisions of the Credit Agreement which by their terms would survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the Commitments, including, without limitation, Section 9 (The Agents) and Section 10.5 (Payment of Expenses) to the extent they pertain to the Existing Agent, continue in effect for the benefit of the Existing Agent, its sub-agents and their respective affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the Existing Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender and inure to the benefit of the Existing Agent.
(d) The Existing Agent hereby assigns to the Successor Agent, as of the Effective Date, each of the Liens and security interests granted to the Existing Agent under the Loan Documents and the Successor Agent hereby assumes, as of the Effective Date, all such Liens, for its benefit and for the benefit of the Secured Parties.
(e) On and after the Effective Date, all possessory Collateral held by the Existing Agent for the benefit of the Lenders shall be deemed to be held by the Existing Agent as agent and bailee for the Successor Agent for the benefit of the Lenders until such time as such possessory Collateral has been delivered to the Successor Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary or the effectiveness of the terms hereof, Borrower agrees that all of such Liens granted by Borrower, shall in all respects be continuing and in effect and are hereby ratified and reaffirmed by it.

(h) Section 9.9 of the Credit Agreement is restated in its entirety as follows:

 

 


 

“9.9 Successor Administrative Agent and Successor Swing Line Lender.
(a) The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice (such 10 day period, the “Notice Period”) to the Lenders and the Borrower (the “Administrative Agent Resignation”). The Administrative Agent may be removed (i) with or without cause, upon the affirmative vote of the Supermajority Lenders to remove the Administrative Agent and the consent of Borrower, in each case in writing, or (ii) for so long as the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, upon the affirmative vote of the Required Lenders to remove the Administrative Agent and the consent of the Borrower, in each case in writing (each of clause (i) and (ii), an “Administrative Agent Removal”). In the event of an Administrative Agent Resignation or an Administrative Agent Removal, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In the event of an Administrative Agent Resignation, if no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Effective upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the effective date of the removal of the Administrative Agent pursuant to an Administrative Agent Removal, or by the end of the Notice Period in the case of an Administrative Agent Resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. The Syndication Agent may, at any time, by notice to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, resign as Syndication Agent hereunder, whereupon the duties, rights, obligations and responsibilities of the Syndication Agent hereunder shall automatically be assumed by, and inure to the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, without any further act by the Syndication Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent (or, in the case of the Administrative Agent, upon its resignation or removal as set forth in this section), the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

 


 

(b) If the Administrative Agent is the Swing Line Lender or is an Affiliate of the Swing Line Lender, then (i) any Administrative Agent Resignation or Administrative Agent Removal shall also constitute the resignation or removal of the Swing Line Lender, and (ii) any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Section shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Swing Line Lender for all purposes hereunder. In such event, (i) Borrower shall prepay any outstanding Swing Line Loans made by (x) the resigning Administrative Agent in its capacity as Swing Line Lender, on or prior to the end of the Notice Period, in the case of an Administrative Agent Resignation, and (y) the removed Administrative Agent in its capacity as Swing Line Lender as a condition to the effectiveness of the removal of the Administrative Agent, in the case of an Administrative Agent Removal, (ii) upon such prepayment, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender shall surrender any Swing Line Note held by it to Borrower for cancellation, and (iii) Borrower shall issue, if so requested by successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender, a new Swing Line Note to the successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender.
(c) If the Administrative Agent is an Issuing Lender or is an Affiliate of an Issuing Lender, then any Administrative Agent Resignation or Administrative Agent Removal shall also constitute the resignation or removal of such Issuing Lender. In such event, (i) such Issuing Lender shall no longer be obligated to issue additional Letters of Credit, (ii) in the case of an Administrative Agent Removal only, Borrower shall either deliver the originals of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender to such Issuing Lender or enter into arrangements with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit as may be satisfactory to such Issuing Lender as a condition to the effectiveness of the removal of the Administrative Agent and (iii) for so long as such Letters of Credit remain outstanding, the Issuing Lender shall continue to have all of the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to such Letters of Credit issued by it prior to its resignation or removal.”

Exhibit A
CONSENT OF GUARANTORS
By signing this Consent, each Guarantor hereby consents to the foregoing Agreement (including without limitation the amendments to the Credit Agreement contained therein), and confirms that (i) the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement as modified by the Agreement (x) are guaranteed by the Guarantors as set forth in the Subsidiary Guaranty and (y) constitute Obligations, and (ii) notwithstanding the effectiveness of the terms of the Agreement, the Subsidiary Guaranty and each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party is, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.
Each Guarantor agrees to execute any documentation and to take such other actions as may reasonably be necessary to evidence the resignation and appointment, and the transfer of the Collateral, as described in the Agreement, in each case at the Borrower’s expense; provided that the Existing Agent shall bear no responsibility for any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Successor Agent under this paragraph or under Section 1(a)(iv) of the Agreement.
Each Guarantor hereby confirms, as of the Effective Date, that the Successor Agent becomes vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Administrative Agent under each Loan Document applicable to such Guarantor, and the Existing Agent is discharged from all of its duties and obligations as the Administrative Agent under each Loan Document applicable to such Guarantor.
On and after the Effective Date, all possessory Collateral held by the Existing Agent for the benefit of the Lenders shall be deemed to be held by the Existing Agent as agent and bailee for the Successor Agent for the benefit of the Lenders until such time as such possessory Collateral has been delivered to the Successor Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary or the effectiveness of the terms hereof, each Guarantor agrees that all of such Liens granted by any Guarantor, shall in all respects be continuing and in effect and are hereby ratified and reaffirmed by each Guarantor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any reference to the Existing Agent on any publicly filed document, to the extent such filing relates to the Liens and security interests in the Collateral assigned pursuant to the Agreement and until such filing is modified to reflect the interests of the Successor Agent, shall, with respect to such Liens and security interests, constitute a reference to the Existing Agent as collateral representative of the Successor Agent (provided, that the parties hereto agree that the Existing Agent’s role as such collateral representative shall impose no duties, obligations, or liabilities on the Existing Agent, including, without limitation, any duty to take any type of direction regarding any action to be taken against such Collateral other than the requirements of the Existing Agent to consummate the assignments effected hereby, whether such direction comes from the Successor Agent, the Required Lenders, or otherwise and the Existing Agent shall have the full benefit of the protective provisions of Section 9 (The Agents), including, without limitation, Section 9.7 (Indemnification), while serving in such capacity).
Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants on and as of the date hereof and on and as of the Effective Date that it is legally authorized to enter into and has duly executed and delivered this Consent.
Without limiting its obligations in any way under any of the Loan Documents, each Guarantor reaffirms and acknowledges its obligations to the Successor Agent to the extent provided in any Loan Document applicable to it and that the delivery of any agreements, instruments or any other document and any other actions taken or to be taken to the extent required by and in accordance with any Loan Document applicable to it shall be to the satisfaction of Successor Agent notwithstanding whether any of the foregoing was or were previously satisfactory to the Existing Agent.

 

 


 

Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives all claims, suits, debts, liens, losses, causes of action, demands, rights, damages or costs, or expenses of any kind, character or nature whatsoever, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, which any of them may have or claim to have against Lehman (whether in its capacity as an agent, lender, hedging counterparty or otherwise) or its agents, employees, officers, affiliates, directors, representatives, attorneys, successors or assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”) to the extent arising out of or in connection with the Loan Documents, including without limitation damages resulting from any prior or future failure to fund the Commitment of Lehman thereunder (collectively, the “Claims”). Each Guarantor further agrees forever to refrain from commencing, instituting or prosecuting any lawsuit, action or other proceeding against any Released Parties with respect to any and all of the foregoing described waived, released, acquitted and discharged Claims or from exercising any right of recoupment or setoff that it may have under a master netting agreement or otherwise against any Released Party with respect to Obligations under the Loan Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged that the Commitment of Lehman as a Lender under the Credit Agreement is not, and is not meant to be, terminated hereby. Each of the Released Parties shall be a third party beneficiary of the release herein provided.
Each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Consent (i) does not impose on the Existing Agent affirmative obligations or indemnities to which it was not already subject, as of the date of its petition commencing its proceeding under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, and that could give rise to any administrative expense claims other than claims arising as a result of (x) the failure by Lehman to perform any of its obligations hereunder or (y) any representation or warranty of Lehman set forth herein not being true and correct on and as of the date hereof and on and as of the Effective Date and (ii) is not inconsistent with the terms of the Credit Agreement.
