No Lender shall have any obligation, whether express or implied, to commit to provide any Refinancing Term Loans. This section shall supersede any provisions contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, subsection 10.7.

B.            Domestic Overdraft Account. Lenders agree that Owens-Brockway and Administrative Agent may establish and maintain the Domestic Overdraft Account to be established pursuant to the Domestic Overdraft Agreement; provided that (i) the Domestic Overdraft Amount shall not exceed at any time $100,000,000, and (ii) in no event shall the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments at any time exceed the Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary (but subject, however, to the limitations set forth in subsection 2.1A(v) with respect to the making of Revolving Loans), Lenders and Owens-Brockway further agree that Administrative Agent at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may, upon notice to Owens-Brockway and Revolving Lenders, require each Revolving Lender (including Administrative Agent) on one Business Day’s notice to make a Revolving Loan on behalf of Owens-Brockway in an amount equal to that Lender’s Pro Rata Share, or, in the sole and absolute discretion of Administrative Agent, require each other Revolving Lender to purchase a participation in amounts due with respect to the Domestic Overdraft Amount in an amount equal to that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Domestic Overdraft Amount; provided, however, that the obligation of each such Lender to make each such Revolving Loan on behalf of Owens-Brockway or to purchase each such participation in the Domestic Overdraft Amount is subject to the condition that at the time such extension of credit under the Domestic Overdraft Agreement was made the duly authorized officer of Administrative Agent responsible for the administration of Administrative Agent’s credit relationship with Owens-Brockway believed in good faith that (x) no Event of Default had occurred and was continuing or (y) any Event of Default that had occurred and was continuing had been waived by Requisite Lenders (or, if applicable under subsection 10.7, all Lenders or all Lenders directly affected, as applicable) at the time such extension of credit under the Domestic Overdraft Agreement was made. In the case of Revolving Loans made by Lenders other than Administrative Agent under the immediately preceding sentence, each such Lender shall make the amount of its Revolving Loan available to Administrative Agent, in Same Day Funds, at the Funding and Payment Office not later than

62




1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately delivered to Administrative Agent (and not to Owens-Brockway or any other Loan Party) and applied to repay the Domestic Overdraft Amount. On the day such Revolving Loans are made, Administrative Agent’s Pro Rata Share of the Domestic Overdraft Amount being refunded shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan made by Administrative Agent and such portion of the Domestic Overdraft Amount deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding. Owens-Brockway authorizes Administrative Agent to charge its account with Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in such account) in order to immediately pay Administrative Agent the amount of the Domestic Overdraft Amount to be refunded to the extent amounts received from Lenders, including amounts deemed to be received from Administrative Agent, are not sufficient to repay in full the Domestic Overdraft Amount to be refunded and provided further that Administrative Agent shall give Owens-Brockway notice of such charges prior thereto or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. Each Revolving Loan made in accordance with the foregoing shall be made as a Base Rate Loan. If any portion of any such amount paid to Administrative Agent should be recovered by or on behalf of Owens-Brockway from Administrative Agent in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Revolving Lenders in the manner contemplated by subsection 10.6. In the event that Administrative Agent requires the other Revolving Lenders to purchase participations in the Domestic Overdraft Amount, payment for such participations shall be made directly to Administrative Agent at the Funding and Payment Office not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the Business Day next succeeding the date notice to purchase such participations is given. Except as provided above in this subsection 2.1B (and, in the case of the obligation to make Revolving Loans, except for the satisfaction of the conditions specified in subsection 3.1 and 3.2) each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this subsection 2.1B and to purchase participations in the Domestic Overdraft Amount pursuant to this subsection 2.1B shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against Administrative Agent, any Loan Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Loan Party; (iv) any breach of this Agreement by any Loan Party or any other Revolving Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening, or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that in the event that the obligations of Lenders to make Revolving Loans are terminated in accordance with Section 7, Lenders having a Revolving Loan Commitment shall thereafter only be obligated to purchase participations in the Domestic Overdraft Amount as provided in this subsection 2.1B. In the event that any Lender fails to make available to Administrative Agent the amount of any of such Lender’s Revolving Loans required to be made pursuant to this subsection 2.1B or the amount of any participations in the Domestic Overdraft Amount which are required to be purchased from Administrative Agent by such Lender pursuant to this subsection 2.1B, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest at the customary rate set by Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. Nothing in this subsection 2.1B shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender to recover from Administrative Agent any amounts made available by such Lender to Administrative Agent

63




pursuant to this subsection 2.1B in respect of any extension of credit by Administrative Agent under the Domestic Overdraft Agreement in the event that it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such extension of credit by Administrative Agent constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Administrative Agent.

Any notice given by Administrative Agent to Lenders pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall be concurrently given by Administrative Agent to Owens-Brockway or Borrowers’ Agent.

C.            Offshore Revolving Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Borrowers herein set forth, each Offshore Borrower may request, in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 2.1C, that Lenders with a Revolving Loan Commitment make Offshore Revolving Loans. The making of Offshore Revolving Loans shall reduce the availability of Revolving Loans to Owens-Brockway on a dollar-for-dollar basis to the extent of the Dollar Equivalent of the Offshore Revolving Loans outstanding. Subject to the limitations set forth below, (a) each Revolving Lender hereby severally agrees to make Australian Revolving Loans to ACI in Dollars, ADollars and Euro from time to time during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding not exceeding its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Australian Revolving Loan Commitments; (b) each Revolving Lender hereby severally agrees to make Dutch Revolving Loans to OIEG in Dollars, ADollars and Euro from time to time during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding not exceeding its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Dutch Revolving Loan Commitments; (c) each Revolving Lender hereby severally agrees to make Swiss Revolving Loans to O-I Europe in Euro from time to time during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding not exceeding its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Swiss Revolving Loan Commitments; and (d) each Revolving Lender hereby severally agrees to make Canadian Revolving Loans to O-I Canada in Dollars from time to time during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding not exceeding its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments; provided, however, Lenders shall not be obligated to make Canadian Revolving Loans (and O-I Canada may not request any such Loans) at any time a Canadian Overdraft Agreement is in effect, except to repay the Canadian Overdraft Amount upon notice from the Canadian Overdraft Account Provider pursuant to subsection 2.1D(ii). The proceeds of all such Offshore Revolving Loans shall be used for the purposes identified in subsection 2.5A. The amount of each Lender’s Australian Revolving Loan Commitment, each Lender’s Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment, each Lender’s Dutch Revolving Loan Commitment and each Lender’s Swiss Revolving Loan Commitment in each case as of the Closing Date is set forth opposite its name in Schedule A annexed hereto and the aggregate amounts of the (i) the Australian Revolving Loan Commitments, (ii) the Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments; (iii) the Dutch Revolving Loan Commitments and (iv) the Swiss Revolving Loan Commitments (in each case set forth in Schedule A) are, as of the Closing Date, (i) $300,000,000, (ii) $20,000,000, (iii) $425,000,000 and (iv) $425,000,000, respectively; provided that the Offshore Revolving Loan Commitments

64




of Lenders shall be adjusted to give effect to any assignments thereof pursuant to subsection 10.2, shall be reduced from time to time by the amount of any reductions thereto made pursuant to subsection 2.4G and shall be increased from time to time by the amount of any increase thereto made pursuant to subsection 2.1A(vi)(c). In no event shall (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Australian Revolving Loans of any Lender outstanding at any time exceed its Australian Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Canadian Revolving Loans of any Lender outstanding at any time exceed its Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect, (iii) the aggregate principal amount of the Dutch Revolving Loans of any Lender outstanding at any time exceed its Dutch Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect or (iv) the aggregate principal amount of the Swiss Revolving Loans of any Lender outstanding at any time exceed its Swiss Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect. Each Lender’s Offshore Revolving Loan Commitment shall expire on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and all Offshore Revolving Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Offshore Revolving Loans and the Offshore Revolving Loan Commitments shall be paid in full no later than that date. Amounts borrowed under this subsection 2.1C may be repaid and reborrowed to but excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date.

Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Offshore Borrower shall request Lenders to make any Offshore Revolving Loans (and no Lender shall be obligated to make Offshore Revolving Loans) if, immediately after giving effect to the making of such Offshore Revolving Loans:

(1)           the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments would exceed the Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect;

(2)           the Total Utilization of Australian Revolving Loan Commitments would exceed the Australian Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect;

(3)           the Total Utilization of Dutch Revolving Loan Commitments would exceed the Dutch Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect; or

(4)           the Total Utilization of Swiss Revolving Loan Commitments would exceed the Swiss Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect; or

(5)           the Total Utilization of Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments would exceed the Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect.

Offshore Revolving Loans made on any Funding Date (other than (y) Offshore Revolving Loans made for the purpose of reimbursing any Issuing Lender for the amount of a drawing honored under a Letter of Credit issued by it for the account of any Offshore Borrower, which shall be in the amount of such drawing so honored, or (z) Offshore Revolving Loans made for the purpose of repaying any Offshore Overdraft Amount, which shall be in an amount equal to the Offshore Overdraft Amount) shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount.

Each Offshore Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Lenders the then unpaid principal amount of each Offshore Revolving Loan of such Lender made to such

65




Offshore Borrower on or before the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date or such earlier date on which such Offshore Revolving Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 7. Each Offshore Borrower hereby further agrees and promises to pay to the Lenders interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Offshore Revolving Loan of such Lender made to such Offshore Borrower from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until paid in full, at the rates and at the times which shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

D.            Offshore Overdraft Accounts.

(i)            Lenders agree that ACI, O-I Canada, OIEG and O-I Europe may each establish and maintain an Offshore Overdraft Account with an Offshore Overdraft Provider pursuant to an Offshore Overdraft Agreement; provided that (a) (1) the Australian Overdraft Amount shall not exceed at any time the Offshore Currency Equivalent of $30,000,000, (2) the Canadian Overdraft Amount shall not exceed at any time the Offshore Currency Equivalent of $20,000,000 and (3) the aggregate of the Dutch Overdraft Amount and the Swiss Overdraft Amount shall not exceed at any time the Offshore Currency Equivalent of $60,000,000, and (b) in no event shall an Offshore Borrower request an extension of credit under an Offshore Overdraft Agreement (and no Offshore Overdraft Account Provider shall be obligated to extend credit under an Offshore Overdraft Agreement) if, after giving effect to such extension of credit:

(1)           the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments would exceed the Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect;

(2)           the Total Utilization of Australian Revolving Loan Commitments would exceed the Australian Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect;

(3)           the Total Utilization of Dutch Revolving Loan Commitments would exceed the Dutch Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect;

(4)           the Total Utilization of Swiss Revolving Loan Commitments would exceed the Swiss Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect; or

(5)           the Total Utilization of Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments would exceed the Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect.

(ii)           Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary (but subject, however, to the limitations set forth in subsection 2.1C with respect to the making of Offshore Revolving Loans), Lenders and each Offshore Borrower further agree that any Offshore Overdraft Account Provider at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may, upon notice to the relevant Offshore Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, require each Revolving Lender (including such Offshore Overdraft Account Provider) on one Business Day’s notice to (a) make an Offshore Revolving Loan in Dollars (in the case of such a Loan to O-I Canada), ADollars (in the case of such a Loan to ACI) or Euro (in the case of such a Loan to OIEG or O-I Europe) in an amount equal to that Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined with respect to such Type of Offshore Revolving Loan Commitments) of the relevant Offshore Overdraft

66




Amount (calculated in the case of such a Loan to O-I Canada by reference to the applicable Spot Rate on the date such Offshore Revolving Loan is to be made) or, (b) in the event the relevant Type of Offshore Revolving Loan Commitment has terminated or the conditions for the making of such Offshore Revolving Loans under subsection 3.2 are not satisfied, require each Revolving Lender to purchase a participation in Dollars (in the case of the Canadian Overdraft Amount), ADollars (in the case of the Australian Overdraft Amount) or Euro (in the case of the Dutch Overdraft Amount or Swiss Overdraft Amount) in amounts due with respect to the relevant Offshore Overdraft Account in an amount equal to that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the relevant Offshore Overdraft Amount (calculated in the case of a Participation in the Canadian Overdraft Amount by reference to the applicable Spot Rate on the date such participation is to be purchased); provided, however, that the obligation of each Revolving Lender to make each such Offshore Revolving Loan or of each Revolving Lender to purchase each such participation in any such Offshore Overdraft Amount is subject to the condition that at the time such extension of credit under the applicable Offshore Overdraft Agreement was made the duly authorized officer of such Offshore Overdraft Account Provider responsible for the administration of such Offshore Overdraft Account Provider’s credit relationship with the relevant Offshore Borrower believed in good faith that (a) no Event of Default had occurred and was continuing or (b) any Event of Default that had occurred and was continuing had been waived by Requisite Lenders (or, if applicable under subsection 10.7, all Lenders or all Lenders with Obligations directly affected, as applicable) at the time such extension of credit under such Offshore Overdraft Agreement was made. In the case of Offshore Revolving Loans or participation purchases made by Lenders other than Administrative Agent under the immediately preceding sentence, each such Lender shall make the amount of its Offshore Revolving Loan or the amount of its participation, as applicable, available to Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds in the applicable currency, at the Funding and Payment Office not later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given and upon such transfer such Offshore Revolving Loans shall be deemed made or such participations purchased, as the case may be. The proceeds of such Offshore Revolving Loans or participation purchases shall be delivered by Administrative Agent to such Offshore Overdraft Account Provider (and not to any Borrower or other Loan Party) as soon as practicable and applied to repay the relevant Offshore Overdraft Amount. On the day such Offshore Revolving Loans are made or such participations are purchased, such Offshore Overdraft Account Provider’s Pro Rata Share of the Offshore Overdraft Amount being refunded shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of an Offshore Revolving Loan made by such Offshore Overdraft Account Provider and such portion of the Offshore Overdraft Amount deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding. Each Offshore Borrower authorizes the Offshore Overdraft Account Provider to charge such Offshore Borrower’s accounts with such Offshore Overdraft Account Provider (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay such Offshore Overdraft Account Provider the amount of the Offshore Overdraft Amount to be refunded to the extent amounts received from Lenders, including amounts deemed to be received from such Offshore Overdraft Account Provider, are not sufficient to repay in full the Offshore Overdraft Amount to be refunded; provided that such Offshore Overdraft Account Provider shall give such Offshore Borrower notice of such charges prior thereto

67




or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. Each Offshore Revolving Loan made in accordance with the foregoing shall be made as a Base Rate Loan. If any portion of any such amount paid to any Offshore Overdraft Account Provider should be recovered by or on behalf of such Offshore Borrower from such Offshore Overdraft Account Provider in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Lenders in the manner contemplated by subsection 10.6.

(iii)          Except as provided above in this subsection 2.1D (and, in the case of the obligation to make Offshore Revolving Loans, except for the satisfaction of the conditions specified in subsections 3.1 and 3.2), each Lender’s obligation to make Offshore Revolving Loans pursuant to this subsection 2.1D and the obligation of each Revolving Lender to purchase participations in any Offshore Overdraft Amount pursuant to this subsection 2.1D shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (a) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such Offshore Overdraft Account Provider, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (b) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default; (c) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Loan Party; (d) any breach of this Agreement by any Borrower or any other Lender; or (e) any other circumstance, happening, or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that in the event that the obligations of Lenders to make Offshore Revolving Loans are terminated in accordance with Section 7, Revolving Lenders shall thereafter only be obligated to purchase participations in the relevant Offshore Overdraft Amount as provided in this subsection 2.1D. In the event that any Lender fails to make available to the relevant Administrative Agent the amount of any of such Lender’s Offshore Revolving Loans required to be made pursuant to this subsection 2.1D or to the Administrative Agent the amount of any participations in the relevant Offshore Overdraft Amount which are required to be purchased from such Offshore Overdraft Account Provider by such Lender pursuant to this subsection 2.1D, such Offshore Overdraft Account Provider shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest at the customary rate set by such Offshore Overdraft Account Provider for the correction of errors among banks in the relevant jurisdiction for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. Nothing in this subsection 2.1D shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender to recover from any Offshore Overdraft Account Provider any amounts made available by such Lender to such Offshore Overdraft Account Provider pursuant to this subsection 2.1D in respect of any extension of credit by such Offshore Overdraft Account Provider under the relevant Offshore Overdraft Agreement in the event that it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such extension of credit by such Offshore Overdraft Account Provider constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Offshore Overdraft Account Provider.

(iv)          Any notice given by any Offshore Overdraft Account Provider to the relevant Lenders pursuant to subsection 2.1D(iii) shall be concurrently given by such Offshore Overdraft Account Provider to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Offshore Borrower or Borrowers’ Agent.

68




(v)           Not later than the end of the first and third week of each month, and promptly upon request by Administrative Agent, each Offshore Overdraft Account Provider shall deliver to Administrative Agent a written report in form satisfactory to Administrative Agent setting forth activity with respect to the applicable Offshore Overdraft Account since the last such report and the applicable Offshore Overdraft Amount outstanding as of the end of the period covered by such report.

(vi)          Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, and no consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, shall modify, terminate or waive in any manner adverse to any Offshore Overdraft Account Provider any provision of this subsection 2.1D or any other provision of this Agreement directly relating to the Offshore Overdraft Accounts or the Offshore Overdraft Amounts (including any provision directly relating to the repayment of the Offshore Overdraft Amounts with the proceeds of Offshore Revolving Loans or directly relating to the obligations of Lenders to purchase participations in the Offshore Overdraft Amounts) without the written concurrence of the applicable Offshore Overdraft Account Providers.

E.             Notice of Borrowing.

(i)            Whenever a Borrower desires that Lenders make Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Offshore Revolving Loans, it shall deliver to Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing no later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) (w) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed Funding Date, in the case of any Base Rate Loan, (x) at least two Business Days in advance of the proposed Funding Date, in the case of a B/A Discount Rate Loan, (y) at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed Funding Date, in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan (other than a Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in ADollars) or (z) at least four Business Days in advance of the proposed Funding Date, in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in ADollars. The Notice of Borrowing shall specify (1) the proposed Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day), (2) the amount, currency and Type of the proposed Loans, (3) whether such Loans are initially to consist of Base Rate Loans, Eurocurrency Rate Loans, B/A Discount Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, and (4) if such Loans, or any portion thereof, are initially to be Eurocurrency Rate Loans or B/A Discount Rate Loans, the amounts thereof and the initial Interest Periods therefor; and except as set forth in subsection 3.2B, such Notice of Borrowing shall further certify that subsection 3.2B is satisfied on and as of that Funding Date; provided that the minimum amount of Revolving Loans, if any, to be made on any Funding Date as Eurocurrency Rate Loans with a particular Interest Period shall be $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount and the minimum amount of Offshore Revolving Loans to be made on any Funding Date shall be as set forth in subsection 2.1C; and provided further that, O-I Canada may not deliver a Notice of Borrowing requesting a Canadian Revolving Loan at any time a Canadian Overdraft Agreement is in effect. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Lender shall make or be obligated to make a Revolving Loan or an Offshore Revolving Loan if it shall have received notification of a delivery of a Loan Limitation Notice to a Borrower with respect

69




to such Revolving Loan or Offshore Revolving Loan from Administrative Agent on or prior to the first Business Day immediately preceding the proposed Funding Date for such Revolving Loan or Offshore Revolving Loan. Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Offshore Revolving Loans may be continued as or converted into Base Rate Loans, Eurocurrency Rate Loans or B/A Discount Rate Loans in the manner provided in subsection 2.2D. In lieu of delivering the above-described Notice of Borrowing, a Borrower may give Administrative Agent irrevocable telephonic notice by the required time of any proposed borrowing under this subsection 2.1; provided that such notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a Notice of Borrowing to Administrative Agent on or prior to the Funding Date of the requested Loans.

(ii)           Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to any Borrower in acting upon any telephonic notice referred to above which Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, believes in good faith to have been given by a duly authorized officer or other person authorized to borrow on behalf of the relevant Borrower, as the case may be, or for otherwise acting in good faith under this subsection 2.1E, and upon funding of Loans by any Lender in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to any such telephonic notice such Borrower shall have effected Loans hereunder.

(iii)          Except as provided in subsection 2.6D, a Notice of Borrowing for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and the Borrower giving such notice shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith, unless such Borrower pays to Lenders such amounts as may be due under subsection 2.6D(iii) for failure of a borrowing of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan to occur on the date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof).

(iv)          Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to this subsection 2.1E (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) with respect to any Revolving Loans or Offshore Revolving Loans, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) calculate whether, before and after giving effect to the making of the relevant Loans:

(1)           (A) the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments shall exceed (B) the Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect;

(2)           the Total Utilization of Australian Revolving Loan Commitments shall exceed the Australian Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect;

(3)           the Total Utilization of Dutch Revolving Loan Commitments shall exceed the Dutch Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect;

(4)           the Total Utilization of Swiss Revolving Loan Commitments shall exceed the Swiss Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect; and

(5)           the Total Utilization of Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments shall exceed the Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect.

70




In the event that Administrative Agent determines that any of the statements in clauses (1) through (5) is true or will be true after giving effect to the making of the relevant Loans, Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Borrower written notice (a “Loan Limitation Notice”) thereof, and shall notify each Lender promptly of its delivery of such notice.

F.             Disbursement of Funds.

(i)            All Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Offshore Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall be made by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Revolving Loan Commitments, Australian Revolving Loan Commitments, Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments, Dutch Revolving Loan Commitments, Swiss Revolving Loan Commitments, Tranche A Term Loan Commitments, Tranche B Term Loan Commitments, Tranche C Term Loan Commitments or Tranche D Term Loan Commitments, as the case may be, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make a Term Loan, a Revolving Loan or an Offshore Revolving Loan requested hereunder nor shall the Commitment of any Lender to make the particular type of Loan requested be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to subsection 2.1E (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) or the deemed receipt of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to subsection 2.8D, Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Lender of the proposed borrowing. Each Lender shall make the amount of its Term Loan or Revolving Loan or Offshore Revolving Loan available to Administrative Agent, in Same Day Funds, at the Funding and Payment Office not later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on the Funding Date. From and after the Closing Date, except as provided in subsection 2.1B (with respect to the repayment of the Domestic Overdraft Amount), subsection 2.1D(ii) (with respect to the repayment of any Offshore Overdraft Amount) and subsection 2.8D (with respect to the reimbursement of amounts drawn under Letters of Credit), upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified in subsection 3.2, Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Offshore Revolving Loans, in each case available to the Borrower requesting such Loans on such Funding Date by causing an amount of Same Day Funds equal to the proceeds of all such Revolving Loans or Offshore Revolving Loans received by Administrative Agent to be credited to the account of such Borrower at such office of Administrative Agent.

(ii)           Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to any Funding Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Loan on such Funding Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such Funding Date and Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount on such Funding Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative

71




Agent at the customary rate set by Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower, and such Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent. If such Borrower does not pay such corresponding amount, Administrative Agent may require each Revolving Lender to purchase a participation in the amount unpaid by such Borrower in an amount equal to that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such unpaid amount. Nothing in this subsection 2.1F shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights which Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

G.            The Register; Notes.

(i)            Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain, at its address referred to in subsection 10.10, a register for the inscription of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Commitments and Loans of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). Borrowers, Borrowers’ Agent, Agents, and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is inscribed in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Company, Borrowers, Borrowers’ Agent or the Agents at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, Administrative Agent shall make the Register available for inspection by the Lenders upon reasonable prior notice at reasonable times, provided that a Lender shall only be entitled to inspect its own entry in the Register and not that of any other Lender.

(ii)           Administrative Agent shall inscribe in the Register the Commitments and the Loans from time to time of each Lender, the amount of each Lender’s participation in outstanding Letters of Credit and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender and the principal amount owing from time to time by each Borrower in respect of each Loan to each Lender of such Loan. Any such inscription shall be conclusive and binding on each Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest or demonstrable error; provided that failure to make any such inscription, or any error in such inscription, shall not affect any Borrower’s Obligations in respect of the applicable Loans. The inscription in the Register of the principal amount owing from time to time by the Borrowers in respect of each Tranche A Term Loan or Australian Revolving Loan shall constitute an unconditional and irrevocable covenant by ACI in favor of the Person whose name is so inscribed as the Lender in respect of such Loan that ACI will make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Loan in accordance with this Agreement, make all other payments required by this Agreement to be made by it in respect of such Loan and otherwise perform all of its obligations under this Agreement in full and by the due date.

(iii)          Each Lender shall record on its internal records (including, without limitation, any promissory note described in subsection 2.1G(iv)) the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and, in the case of a Lender with respect to each Loan made by it to an Offshore Borrower, the identity of the Offshore

2.2          Interest on the Loans.

A.            Rate of Interest.

(i)            All Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate determined by reference to (a) in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate; (b) in the case of Loans denominated in ADollars, the Eurocurrency Rate; (c) in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Base Rate or the B/A Discount Rate and (d) in the case of Loans denominated in Euro, the Eurocurrency Rate. Except for Loans denominated in ADollars and Euro (which must be made and continue as Eurocurrency Rate Loans) and except to the extent that this Agreement specifically provides that certain Loans must be made as, continued as, or converted into Base Rate Loans, the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Offshore Revolving Loans shall be selected by a Borrower at the time such Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to subsection 2.1E (or is deemed to have given a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to subsection 2.8D) or at the time a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is given pursuant to subsection 2.2D. Except in the case of Loans denominated in ADollars or Euro, if on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which notice has not been delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying the basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day that Loan shall bear interest determined by reference to the Base Rate. If on any day Loans denominated in ADollars or Euro are outstanding with respect to which notice has not been delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying the basis for determining the rate of interest, then such Loan shall be automatically continued as a Eurocurrency Loan with a one month Interest Period.

Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Offshore Revolving Loans shall bear interest through maturity as follows:

(a)           if a Base Rate Loan, then at the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin;

(b)           if a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, then at the sum of the Eurocurrency Rate plus the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin; or

(c)           if a B/A Discount Rate Loan, then at the sum of the B/A Discount Rate plus the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin.

B.            Interest Periods.

In connection with each Eurocurrency Rate Loan or B/A Discount Rate Loan, the Borrower requesting such Loan shall elect an interest period (each an “Interest Period”) to be

74




applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period shall be a one, two, three or six month period (or, with Administrative Agent’s consent, a one, two or three week period); provided that:

(i)            the initial Interest Period for any such Loan shall commence on the Funding Date in respect of such Loan, in the case of a Loan initially made as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a B/A Discount Rate Loan, or on the date specified in the applicable Notice of Conversion/Continuation, in the case of a Loan converted to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a B/A Discount Rate Loan;

(ii)           in the case of immediately successive Interest Periods applicable to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a B/A Discount Rate Loan continued as such pursuant to a Notice of Conversion/Continuation or otherwise, each successive Interest Period shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

(iii)          if an Interest Period with respect to any Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that if any such Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(iv)          any Interest Period with respect to any Loan which begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of a calendar month;

(v)           no Interest Period with respect to any Tranche A Term Loan shall extend beyond the Tranche A Term Loan Maturity Date;

(vi)          no Interest Period with respect to any Tranche B Term Loan shall extend beyond the Tranche B Term Loan Maturity Date;

(vii)         no Interest Period with respect to any Tranche C Term Loan shall extend beyond the Tranche C Term Loan Maturity Date;

(viii)        no Interest Period with respect to any Tranche D Term Loan shall extend beyond the Tranche D Term Loan Maturity Date;

(ix)           no Interest Period with respect to any Revolving Loan or Offshore Revolving Loan shall extend beyond the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date.

(x)            there shall be no more than 20 Interest Periods outstanding at any time with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans to Owens-Brockway and there shall be no more than (a) 15 Interest Periods outstanding at any time with respect to Australian Revolving Loans and Tranche A Term Loans, (b) 5 Interest Periods outstanding at any time with respect to Canadian Revolving Loans and Tranche C Term Loans, (c) 10 Interest Periods outstanding at any time with respect to Dutch Revolving Loans and

75




Tranche D Term Loans, and (d) 10 Interest Periods outstanding at any time with respect to Swiss Revolving Loans;

(xi)           in the event a Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, such Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month; and

(xii)          no Interest Period shall more than thirty days (and no Base Rate Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Rate Loan or B/A Discount Rate Loan with an Interest Period of more than thirty days) until the earlier of the  thirtieth day after the Closing Date and the date specified by Administrative Agent to Company on which the primary syndication of the Term Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments has been completed.

C.            Interest Payments. Subject to subsection 2.2E, interest shall be payable on the Loans as follows:

(i)            interest on each Base Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears on and to each March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2006, and at maturity; and

(ii)           interest on each Eurocurrency Rate Loan and B/A Discount Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears on and to each Interest Payment Date applicable to that Loan, upon any prepayment of that Loan (to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid) and at maturity.

D.            Conversion or Continuation. Subject to the provisions of subsections 2.6 and 2.2B(xii), the applicable Borrower shall have the option (i) to convert at any time all or any part of its outstanding Term Loans (other than Loans denominated in Euro or ADollars which shall always constitute Eurocurrency Rate Loans), Revolving Loans or Offshore Revolving Loans equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount from Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to one basis to Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to an alternative basis, and (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or B/A Discount Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or B/A Discount Rate Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, and the succeeding Interest Period(s) of such continued Loan shall commence on the last day of the Interest Period of the Loan to be continued, provided, however, that a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or B/A Discount Rate Loan may only be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable thereto; and provided, further, that, unless Requisite Lenders otherwise agree, no outstanding Loan may be continued as, or be converted into, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or B/A Discount Rate Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

The applicable Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) (i) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan, (ii) at least two Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date in

76




the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a B/A Discount Rate Loan, (iii) at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan (other than a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in ADollars) or (iv) at least four Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in ADollars. A Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall specify (i) the proposed conversion/continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount and Type of the Loan to be converted/continued, (iii) the nature of the proposed conversion/continuation and (iv) in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or B/A Discount Rate Loan, the requested Interest Period. In lieu of delivering the above described Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the applicable Borrower may give Administrative Agent telephonic notice by the required time of any proposed conversion/continuation under this subsection 2.2D; provided, that, such notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to Administrative Agent on or before the proposed conversion/continuation date. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of any Loan becoming subject to a Notice of Conversion/Continuation.

Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability to any Loan Party in acting upon any telephonic notice referred to above which Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by a duly authorized officer or other person authorized to act on behalf of a Borrower in connection with any telephonic notice referred to above or for otherwise acting in good faith under this subsection 2.2D and upon conversion/continuation by Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to any telephonic notice, such Borrower shall have effected a conversion or continuation, as the case may be, hereunder.

Except as provided in subsection 2.6D, a Notice of Conversion/Continuation for conversion to, or continuation of, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan to a B/A Discount Rate Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and upon delivering a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the relevant Borrower shall be bound to convert or continue in accordance therewith, unless such Borrower pays to Lenders such amounts as may be due under subsection 2.6D(iii) for failure of a conversion to or continuation of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan to occur on the date specified therefor in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof).

E.             Post-Maturity Interest. Any principal payments on the Loans (other than Loans denominated in Euro or ADollars) not paid when due and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans not paid when due, in each case whether at stated maturity, by notice of prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise, shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin plus 2.00% per annum. Any principal payments on the Loans denominated in Euro or ADollars not paid when due and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on such Loans not paid when due, in each case whether at stated maturity, by notice of prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise, shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate equal to the sum of the Eurocurrency Rate (for sequential interest periods of 30 days) plus the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin plus 2.00% per annum.

77




F.             Computation of Interest. Interest on all Loans (except B/A Discount Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars) and reimbursed obligations in respect of L/C Disbursements shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days, and interest on B/A Discount Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of the Loan or the first day of an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be included and the date of payment or the expiration date of an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided that if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

G.            Interest Act (Canada). For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of a 360 day year or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent are the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 360 or such other period of time, respectively.

H.            Interest Limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 2.2, in no event shall the rate of interest payable by any Borrower in respect of any Loan exceed the maximum rate permitted to be charged by applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents would obligate O-I Canada to make any payment of interest with respect to the Obligations of O-I Canada or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of interest with respect to the Obligations of O-I Canada at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rates shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by that Lender of interest with respect to the Obligations of O-I Canada at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows:  (1) first, by reducing the amount or rates of interest required to be paid to the affected Lender under this subsection 2.2H; and (2) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the affected Lender which would constitute interest with respect to the Obligations of O-I Canada for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received an amount in respect of Obligations of O-I Canada in excess of the maximum permitted by that section of the Criminal Code (Canada), then O-I Canada shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the affected Lender, to obtain reimbursement from that Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to O-I Canada. Any amount or rate of interest under the Obligations of O-I Canada referred to in this subsection 2.2H shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principals at an effective annual rate of interest over the term that any Offshore Revolving Loan remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if related to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Closing Date to the termination of the Offshore Revolving Loan Commitment

78




(with reference to the Obligations of O-I Canada) and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

2.3          Fees

A.            Commitment Fees.

(i)           Owens-Brockway shall pay or cause to be paid, to Administrative Agent (for distribution to each Revolving Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share) commitment fees with respect to the Revolving Loan Commitments, for the period from and including the Closing Date to and excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, equal to the average of the daily excess of the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments over the Total Utilization of the Revolving Loan Commitments (excluding, for purposes of such calculation, amounts described in clauses (iii) and (vi) of the definition thereof) multiplied by the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage. Such commitment fees to be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and to be payable in arrears on each Fee Payment Date for the three-month period ending on the day prior to such Fee Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date.

(ii)          Owens-Brockway shall pay or cause to be paid, to Administrative Agent (for distribution to each Tranche B Term Loan Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Delayed Draw Commitments (defined below)) commitment fees with respect to the aggregate Tranche B Term Loan Commitments minus the amount of Tranche B Term Loans funded on the Closing Date (the “Delayed Draw Commitments”), for the period from and including the Closing Date to and excluding the earlier to occur of the Funding Date for the Tranche B Term Loans under the Delayed Draw Commitments (the “Delayed Draw Funding Date”) or the date of termination of the Delayed Draw Commitments, equal to the total amount of the Delayed Draw Commitments multiplied by 0.50% per annum, such commitment fees to be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and to be payable in arrears on the earlier of the Delayed Draw Funding Date and the date of termination of the Delayed Draw Commitments.

B.            Other Fees. Owens-Brockway agrees to pay or cause to be paid an annual administrative fee to Administrative Agent and such other fees to Arrangers and Agents, in each case in the amounts and at the times agreed upon between Owens-Brockway and the applicable Arranger or Agent.

86




Administrative Agent an Officers’ Certificate demonstrating the calculation of the amount of the applicable Net Asset Sale Proceeds, Consolidated Excess Cash Flow, Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds or Net Debt Proceeds, as the case may be, that gave rise to such prepayment and/or reduction.

(iii)          Application of Prepayments. Any voluntary prepayments pursuant to subsection 2.4B(i) shall be applied as specified by the applicable Borrower in the applicable notice of prepayment; provided that in the event the applicable Borrower fails to specify the Loans to which any such prepayment by it shall be applied, such prepayment shall be first to repay outstanding Revolving Loans and Offshore Revolving Loans ratably, in accordance with their respective outstanding principal balances to the full extent thereof, second to repay outstanding Term Loans ratably, in accordance with their respective outstanding principal balances to the full extent thereof, and third to the L/C Collateral Account until the L/C Collateral Account holds an amount equal to the Aggregate Available Amount (as defined in the Security Agreement).

Any mandatory prepayment of any Type of Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Offshore Revolving Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans of the applicable Type to the full extent thereof before application to Eurocurrency Rate Loans or B/A

87

D.            Apportionment of Payments. Aggregate principal and interest payments in respect of Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Offshore Revolving Loans and, to the extent payments are made by Borrowers after payments have been made by Lenders pursuant to subsection 2.8E, payments in respect of Letters of Credit, shall be apportioned among the Term Loans, Revolving Loans, Offshore Revolving Loans and reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit to which such payments relate, payments of the aggregate commitment fees and Letter of Credit commissions shall be apportioned ratably among Revolving Lenders, or in the case of commitment fees under subsection 2.3A(ii), Tranche B Term Loans, in each case proportionally to their respective Pro Rata Shares. All principal and interest payments in respect of the Domestic Overdraft Account shall be transferred to and retained by Administrative Agent; provided that Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Lender that has purchased a participation in amounts due with respect to the Domestic Overdraft Account pursuant to subsection 2.1B such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any payments subsequently received by Administrative Agent in respect of such amounts due with respect to the Domestic Overdraft Account. All principal and interest payments in respect of any Offshore Overdraft Account shall be transferred to and retained by the relevant Offshore Overdraft Account Provider; provided that such Offshore Overdraft Account Provider shall transfer to the Administrative Agent that portion of any payments subsequently received by such Offshore Overdraft Account Provider in respect of amounts due with respect to such Offshore Overdraft Account necessary to permit Administrative Agent to distribute to each Lender that has purchased a participation in such amounts due pursuant to subsection 2.1D such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payments. Administrative Agent (or, in the case of payments received by any Issuing Lender from a Borrower after payments have been made to such Issuing Lender by Lenders pursuant to subsection 2.8C, such Issuing Lender) shall promptly distribute to each Lender, at its primary address set forth below its name on the appropriate signature page hereof or at such other address as any Lender may request, its share of all such payments in respect of Term Loans, Revolving

88




Loans, Letters of Credit, the Domestic Overdraft Account, the Offshore Overdraft Accounts and Offshore Revolving Loans received by Administrative Agent (or such Issuing Lender) and the commitment fees of such Lender when received by Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 2.3A. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 2.4D, (i) with respect to any Lender which fails to fund the purchase of all or any part of its participation in a Letter of Credit as required by subsection 2.8E, its participation in the Domestic Overdraft Amount as required under subsection 2.1B, its participation in an Offshore Overdraft Amount as required under subsection 2.1D (such Lender being a “Defaulting Participating Lender”), all amounts which would otherwise be payable or allocable to such Defaulting Participating Lender under this subsection 2.4D shall instead be paid by Administrative Agent to the Issuing Lender (in the case of a failure to fund the purchase of a participation in a Letter of Credit under subsection 2.8E), Administrative Agent (in the case of a failure to fund the purchase of a participation in the Domestic Overdraft Amount under subsection 2.1B) the applicable Offshore Overdraft Account Provider (in the case of a failure to fund a purchase of a participation in an Offshore Overdraft Amount under subsection 2.1D) (each, a “Recipient”), until such Recipient has received, either pursuant to this proviso or otherwise from such Defaulting Participating Lender, an amount equal to the amount such Defaulting Participating Lender failed to so fund plus interest at the customary rate set by such Recipient for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin (and in the case such Defaulting Participating Lender is a Defaulting Participating Lender with respect to more than one Recipient, such amounts shall be paid to such Recipients ratably in accordance with amounts owed to such Recipients by such Defaulting Participating Lender); (ii) if, pursuant to the provisions of subsection 2.6D, any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or B/A Discount Rate Loans, Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter and (iii) from and after the occurrence of the CAM Exchange Date, Administrative Agent shall apportion all payments received by it in the manner specified in Section 7 and Section 2.10.

E.             Payments on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the commitment fees and other fees hereunder, as the case may be.

F.             Notation of Payment. Each Lender agrees that before disposing of any Note held by it, or any part thereof (other than by granting participations therein to a Federal Reserve Bank pursuant to subsection 10.2D), that Lender will make a notation thereon of all Loans and principal payments previously made thereon and of the date to which interest thereon has been paid and will notify the Borrower obligated under such Note and Administrative Agent of the name and address of the transferee of that Note; provided that the failure to make (or any error in the making of) a notation of any Loan made under such Note or to notify such Borrower or Administrative Agent of the name and address of such transferee shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of such Borrower hereunder or under such Note with respect to any Loan and payments of principal or interest hereunder or on any such Note.

89




G.            Voluntary Reductions of Commitments and Offshore Sublimits. Borrowers’ Agent shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, (i) to terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty, the Revolving Loan Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Revolving Loan Commitments exceed the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments at the time of such proposed termination or reduction, (ii) to terminate in whole or reduce in part, without premium or penalty, the Australian Revolving Loan Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Australian Revolving Loan Commitments exceed the Total Utilization of Australian Revolving Loan Commitments at the time of such proposed termination or reduction, (iii) to terminate in whole or reduce in part, without premium or penalty, the Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments exceed the Total Utilization of Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments at the time of such proposed termination or reduction, (iv) to terminate in whole or reduce in part, without premium or penalty, the Dutch Revolving Loan Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Dutch Revolving Loan Commitments exceed the Total Utilization of the Dutch Revolving Loan Commitments at the time of such proposed termination or reduction, and (v) to terminate in whole or reduce in part, without premium or penalty, the Swiss Revolving Loan Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Swiss Revolving Loan Commitments exceed the Total Utilization of the Swiss Revolving Loan Commitments at the time of such proposed termination or reduction.

Borrowers’ Agent shall give not less than three Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent designating the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction. Promptly after receipt of a notice of such termination or partial reduction, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed termination or partial reduction. Such termination or partial reduction of any of the Offshore Revolving Loan Commitments or the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in the notice delivered by Borrowers’ Agent and shall reduce the applicable Offshore Revolving Loan Commitment or the Revolving Loan Commitment, as the case may be, of each Lender proportionately to its Pro Rata Share. Any such partial reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments or the Offshore Revolving Loan Commitments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000, and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount.

2.6          Special Provisions Governing Eurocurrency Rate Loans and B/A Discount Rate Loans

Notwithstanding other provisions of this Agreement, the following provisions shall govern with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans and B/A Discount Rate Loans as to the matters covered:

A.            Determination of Interest Rate. As soon as practicable after 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans and 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on the first day of an applicable Interest Period in the case of B/A Discount Rate Loans, Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest or demonstrable error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate which shall apply to the Loans for which an interest rate is then being

91




determined for the applicable Interest Period (subject to any changes in the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin pursuant to the terms of the definition thereof) and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone and confirmed in writing) to the applicable Borrowers and to each affected Lender.

B.            Substituted Rate of Borrowing. In the event that on any Interest Rate Determination Date any Lender (including Administrative Agent) shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties but, with respect to the following clauses (i) and (ii)(b), shall be made only after consultation with the applicable Borrower and Administrative Agent) that:

(i)            by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the applicable interbank markets or affecting the position of that Lender in such market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definitions of Eurocurrency Rate or B/A Discount Rate with respect to the Eurocurrency Rate Loans and B/A Discount Rate Loans, respectively, as to which an interest rate determination is then being made; or

(ii)           by reason of (a) any change after the date hereof in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation or order (or any interpretation thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation or order) or (b) other circumstances affecting that Lender or the Eurocurrency or B/A Discount Rate Loan markets or the position of that Lender in either such market (such as for example, but not limited to, official reserve requirements required by Regulation D or by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority, the European Central Bank or any other relevant monetary or regulatory authority to the extent not given effect in the Eurocurrency Rate), the Eurocurrency Rate or the B/A Discount Rate shall not represent the effective pricing to that Lender for Dollar, Euro, Canadian Dollar or ADollar deposits of comparable amounts for the relevant period;

then, and in any such event, that Lender shall be an Affected Lender and it shall promptly (and in any event as soon as possible after being notified of a borrowing, conversion or continuation) give notice (by telephone and confirmed in writing) to the applicable Borrower and Administrative Agent (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other relevant Lender) of such determination. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Affected Lender with respect to such Borrower’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans and/or B/A Discount Rate Loans, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as the Affected Lender in its sole discretion shall reasonably determine) as shall be required to cause the Affected Lender to receive interest with respect to such Affected Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans and/or B/A Discount Rate Loans for the Interest Period(s) following that Interest Rate Determination Date at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the effective pricing to the Affected Lender for Dollar deposits, Euro deposits, Canadian Dollar deposits or ADollar deposits, as applicable, to make or maintain its Eurocurrency Rate Loans and/or B/A Discount Rate Loans plus the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin. A certificate as to additional amounts owed the Affected Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted in good faith to the relevant

92




Borrower and Administrative Agent by the Affected Lender shall, absent manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all of the parties hereto.

C.            Required Termination and Prepayment. If on any date any Lender shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties) that the making or continuation of its Eurocurrency Rate Loans, B/A Discount Rate Loans or Loans to an Offshore Borrower has become unlawful by compliance by that Lender in good faith with any law, governmental rule, regulation or order (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful), then, and in any such event, that Lender shall be an Affected Lender and it shall promptly give notice (by telephone and confirmed in writing) to the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each Lender) of that determination. Subject to the following subsection 2.6D, the obligation of the Affected Lender to make or maintain its Eurocurrency Rate Loans, B/A Discount Rate Loans or Loans to an Offshore Borrower, as the case may be, during any such period shall be terminated at the earlier of the termination of the Interest Period then in effect or when required by law and Owens-Brockway or the relevant Offshore Borrower shall, no later than the termination of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such determination pursuant to this subsection 2.6C is made, or earlier when required by law, repay the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, B/A Discount Rate Loans or other applicable Loans, as the case may be, of the Affected Lender, together with all interest accrued thereon.

D.            Options of Borrowers. In lieu of paying an Affected Lender such additional moneys as are required by subsection 2.6B or the prepayment of an Affected Lender required by subsection 2.6C, Borrowers may exercise any one of the following options:

(i)            If the determination by an Affected Lender relates only to Eurocurrency Rate Loans or B/A Discount Rate Loans then being requested by a Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, such Borrower may by giving notice (by telephone and confirmed in writing) to Administrative Agent (who shall promptly give similar notice to each relevant Lender) no later than the date immediately prior to the date on which such Eurocurrency Rate Loans or B/A Discount Rate Loans are to be made, converted or continued, withdraw as to the Affected Lender that Notice of Borrowing or such Notice of Conversion/Continuation and such Affected Lender shall thereupon make or maintain its Pro Rata Share of the Loan then being requested, converted or continued as a Base Rate Loan;

(ii)           Upon written notice to Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower may terminate the obligations of Lenders to make or maintain Loans as, and to convert Loans into, Eurocurrency Rate Loans or B/A Discount Rate Loans, as applicable, and, in any such event, the applicable Borrower shall, prior to the time any payment pursuant to subsection 2.6C is required to be made or, if the provisions of subsection 2.6B are applicable, at the end of the then current Interest Period, convert all of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans (other than any such Loans denominated in ADollars or Euro) and/or B/A Discount Rate Loans, as applicable, into Base Rate Loans in the manner contemplated by subsection 2.2D but without satisfying the advance notice requirements therein;

(iii)          The applicable Borrower may give notice (by telephone and confirmed in writing) to the Affected Lender and Administrative Agent and require the Affected Lender to make the Eurocurrency Rate Loan or B/A Discount Rate Loan then being requested as a Base Rate Loan or to continue to maintain its outstanding Base Rate Loan then the subject of a Notice of Conversion/ Continuation as a Base Rate Loan or to convert its Eurocurrency Rate Loans or B/A Discount Rate Loans then outstanding that are so affected into Base Rate Loans at the end of the then current Interest Period (or at such earlier time as prepayment is otherwise required to be made pursuant to subsection 2.6C) in the manner contemplated by subsection 2.2D but without satisfying the advance notice requirements therein, that notice to pertain only to the Loans of the Affected Lender and to have no effect on the obligations of the other Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans or B/A Discount Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans or B/A Discount Rate Loans; or

(iv)          Solely with respect to Loans denominated in Euro or ADollars, the applicable Borrower may give notice (by telephone and confirmed in writing) to the Affected Lender and Administrative Agent and require the Affected Lender to make the Eurocurrency Rate Loan then being requested at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent as the all in cost of funds for such Affected Lender to fund a borrowing of Loans denominated in Euros or ADollars, as applicable, with maturities comparable to the Interest Period applicable thereto, so long as such Affected Lender may legally do so.

E.             Compensation. The applicable Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by that Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any interest paid by that Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurocurrency Rate Loans or B/A Discount Rate Loans, and any loss sustained by that Lender in connection with the re-employment of such funds), which that Lender may sustain with respect to Borrowers’ Eurocurrency Rate Loans or B/A Discount Rate Loans:  (i) if for any reason (other than a default by that Lender) a borrowing of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or B/A Discount Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing, a Notice of Conversion/Continuation or a telephonic request for borrowing or conversion/continuation or a successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to subsection 2.2D, (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of any of its Eurocurrency Rate Loans or B/A Discount Rate Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to that Loan, (iii) if any prepayment of any of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans or B/A Discount Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the applicable Borrower, or (iv) as a consequence of any other default by such Borrower to repay such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans or B/A Discount Rate Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement.

F.             Quotation of Eurocurrency Rate. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if on any Interest Rate Determination Date no Eurocurrency Rate is available by reason of the failure of all Reference Lenders to provide offered quotations to Administrative Agent in accordance with the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate,” Administrative Agent shall give Borrowers and each Lender prompt notice thereof and the Loans other than Loans denominated in Euro or ADollars requested shall be made as Base Rate Loans and all such Loans denominated

94




in Euro or ADollars shall bear interest at a rate determined by Administrative Agent as the all-in cost of funds for such Lender to fund a borrowing of Loans denominated in Euros or ADollars, as applicable, with maturities comparable to the Interest Period applicable thereto.

G.            Market Disruption Respecting B/A Discount Rate Loans.

If Administrative Agent makes a determination (acting reasonably and in good faith), which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon O-I Canada, and notifies O-I Canada, that there no longer exists an active market for bankers’ acceptances, or for B/A Discount Rate Loans by the applicable Lenders, then:

(a) the right of O-I Canada to request B/A Discount Rate Loans from any Lender shall be suspended until Administrative Agent determines that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and so notifies O-I Canada;

(b) any outstanding Notice of Borrowing requesting a B/A Discount Rate Loan shall be deemed to be a Notice of Borrowing requesting a Base Rate Loan in the amount specified in the original Notice of Borrowing, unless O-I Canada withdraws such original Notice by written notice to the Administrative Agent received no later than noon (Toronto time) one Business Day prior to the date of the requested Borrowing specified in such original Notice;

(c) any outstanding Notice of Conversion requesting a conversion of a Base Rate Loan into a B/A Discount Rate Loan shall be deemed to be a Notice of Continuation requesting a continuation of such Loan as a Base Rate Loan; and

(d) any outstanding Notice of Continuation requesting a continuation of a B/A Discount Rate Loan shall be deemed to be a Notice of Conversion requesting a conversion of such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.

Administrative Agent shall promptly notify O-I Canada and the applicable Lenders of any suspension of O-I Canada’s right to request the B/A Discount Rate Loans and of any termination of any such suspension.

H.            Booking of Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Loans at, to, or for the account of, any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of that Lender.

I.              Assumptions Concerning Funding of Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this subsection 2.6 shall be made with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as though that Lender had actually funded its relevant Eurocurrency Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of Eurocurrency Rate in an amount equal to the amount of that Eurocurrency Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such deposit from an offshore office of that Lender to a domestic office of that Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this subsection 2.6.

95




J.             Eurocurrency Rate Loans and B.A Discount Rate Loans After Default. Unless Requisite Lenders shall otherwise agree, after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no Borrower may elect to have a Loan be made or maintained as, or converted to, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or B/A Discount Rate Loan after the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect for that Loan.

K.            Affected Lenders’ Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause it to be an Affected Lender under subsection 2.6B or 2.6C, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with such Lender’s internal policies, use reasonable commercial efforts to make, fund or maintain the affected Loans of such Lender through another lending office of such Lender if as a result thereof the additional moneys which would otherwise be required to be paid in respect of such Loans pursuant to subsection 2.6B would be materially reduced or the illegality or other adverse circumstances which would otherwise require prepayment of such Loans pursuant to subsection 2.6C would cease to exist and if, as determined by such Lender, in its sole discretion, the making, funding or maintaining of such Loans through such other lending office would not otherwise materially adversely affect such Loans or such Lender. The applicable Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable expenses incurred by any Lender in utilizing another lending office of such Lender pursuant to this subsection 2.6K.

L.            Calculation of Spot Rates. On each Calculation Date with respect to any Offshore Currency or, in the case of a Letter of Credit, other non-Dollar currency, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Spot Rate as of such Calculation Date with respect to such currency (it being acknowledged and agreed that Administrative Agent shall use the Spot Rates so calculated for the purposes of determining compliance with subsections 2.1A(v) and 2.1C with respect to any borrowing request and subsection 2.8A(i) with respect to any request for a Letter of Credit denominated in a non-Dollar currency, but shall not use such Spot Rate for purposes of calculating the Dollar Equivalent of Loans made in an Offshore Currency for purposes of calculating the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments for purposes of calculating commitment fees under subsection 2.3A(i)). Any Spot Rate so determined shall become effective on the first Business Day immediately following the relevant Calculation Date (each, a “Reset  Date”) and shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers of each determination of a Spot Rate hereunder. Solely for purposes of calculating the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments for purposes of calculating commitment fees under subsection 2.3A(i), Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of any Loan made in an Offshore Currency based on the Spot Rate as of the date such Loan is made, and the amount so determined shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of such Loan for such purpose until such Loan is repaid.

2.7          Capital Adequacy Adjustment; Increased Costs; Taxes

A.            Capital Adequacy. If any Lender shall have determined in good faith that the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or applicability after the date hereof of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof after the date hereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or

96




compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans or Commitments or Letters of Credit or participations therein or other obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within fifteen Business Days after receipt by Borrowers from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction; provided that a Lender shall not be entitled to avail itself of the benefit of this subsection 2.7A to the extent that any such reduction in return was incurred more than six months prior to the time it first makes a demand therefor, unless the circumstance giving rise to such reduced return arose or became applicable retrospectively, in which case no time limit shall apply (provided that such Lender has notified Borrowers within six months from the date such circumstances arose or became applicable). Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this subsection 2.7A, will give prompt written notice thereof to Borrowers’ Agent (with a copy to Administrative Agent), which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts.

B.            Compensation for Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.7C (which shall be conclusive with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender shall determine in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or Governmental Authority, in each case that is adopted after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or other Governmental Authority or quasi Governmental Authority, including, without limitation, any agency of the European Monetary Union (whether or not having the force of law):

(i)            subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than any Excluded Tax or Covered Tax subject to subsection 2.7C) with respect to this Agreement or any of the Loans or any of its obligations hereunder, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder;

(ii)           imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including without limitation any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of Eurocurrency Rate); or

97




(iii)          imposes any other condition on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or any applicable interbank market, other than with respect to Taxes;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Owens-Brockway shall promptly pay (or cause the applicable Offshore Borrower to promptly pay) to such Lender, upon written demand and receipt of the written notice referred to below, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender on an after-tax basis for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder; provided that any increased cost arising as a result of any of the foregoing other than in respect of Taxes shall apply only to Eurocurrency Rate Loans and B/A Discount Rate Loans; provided further that a Lender shall not be entitled to avail itself of the benefit of this subsection 2.7B to the extent that any such increased cost or reduction was incurred more than six months prior to the time it gives notice to Borrowers’ Agent (as provided in the next sentence) of the relevant circumstance, unless such circumstance arose or became applicable retrospectively, in which case no time limit shall apply (provided that such Lender has notified Borrowers’ Agent within six months from the date such circumstances arose or became applicable). Such Lender shall deliver to Borrowers’ Agent a written notice, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this subsection 2.7B, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest or demonstrable error. If any event described above would otherwise result in any Lender (or its applicable lending office) being subject to any additional Tax or other cost for which a Borrower would be required to indemnify such Lender under the provisions of this subsection 2.7, then such Lender shall use its reasonable efforts to avoid the imposition of such Taxes or other costs if doing so would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise adverse to such Lender.

C.            Withholding of Taxes.

(i)            Payments to Be Free and Clear. Except to the extent required by law, all sums payable by any Borrower or any other Person under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be paid free and clear of and without any deduction or withholding on account of any Covered Tax imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the United States of America, Australia, the Netherlands, Canada, Switzerland or any political subdivision in or of any of the foregoing or any other jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made by or on behalf of such Borrower or any other Person or in respect of any participation by any Lender in any Obligation or by any federation or organization of which the United States of America, Australia, the Netherlands, Canada, Switzerland or any other such jurisdiction is a member at the time of payment.

(ii)           Withholding in respect of Payments. If any Borrower or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Tax

98




from any sum paid or payable by such Borrower or other Person to any Person under any of the Loan Documents:

(a)           such Borrower or other Person shall notify Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as such Borrower or other Person becomes aware of it;

(b)           such Borrower or other Person shall pay any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on such Borrower or other Person) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on Administrative Agent, a Lender or another Person, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of Administrative Agent, such Lender or such other Person;

(c)           (1) with respect to any Borrower or other Person other than ACI, in the event such Tax is a Covered Tax, the sum payable by such Borrower or other Person in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment, Administrative Agent, such Lender or such other Person, as the case may be, receives on the due date and retains (free from any liability in respect of any such deduction, withholding or payment) a net sum equal to what it would have received and so retained had no such deduction, withholding or payment in respect of Covered Taxes been required or made; and (2) solely with respect to ACI and amounts payable thereby, in the event such Tax is a Covered Tax, ACI shall pay an additional amount by way of indemnity so that Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date and retains (free and clear of any Tax on such additional amount) the full amount it would have received and so retained had no such deduction, withholding or payment in respect of Covered Taxes been required or made; ACI (y) acknowledges that its indemnity under paragraph (c) is a separate and independent obligation from its obligation to pay interest in respect of the Tranche A Term Loans and Australian Offshore Revolving Loans, and is not discharged by reason of its withholding amounts on account of Australian withholding tax and remitting those amounts to the Australian taxation authorities, and (z) subject to subsection 2.7C(iii) below, waives any right which it may have (whether under statute or otherwise) to be reimbursed by any Lender or Agent for any amounts which it may from time to time pay under that indemnity; and

(d)           within 30 days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within 30 days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (b) above to pay, such Borrower or other Person shall deliver to Administrative Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority;

99




The provisions of this subsection 2.7C(ii) apply to any Australian interest withholding tax (including fines and penalties), whether:

(1)                                  deducted or remitted by ACI, or

(2)                                  otherwise recovered by the Australian taxation authorities from ACI, or

(3)                                  paid directly by a Lender to the Australian taxation authorities, or

(4)                                  recovered by the Australian taxation authorities either directly from a Lender or from amounts payable by a Person in Australia to a Lender.

(iii)          Payment of Certain Taxes and Indemnification by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of subsection 2.7C(ii) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges, fees, expenses or similar levies arising from any payment made hereunder or under any other Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In addition, the Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender, each Tax Transferee and Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Covered Taxes (including Covered Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this section 2.7C) paid by such Lender, Tax Transferee or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Covered 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 a Borrower by a Lender or Tax Transferee (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or Tax Transferee, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv)          Tax Refund. If any Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting a Covered Tax, the relevant Lender or Tax Transferee or Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall cooperate with such Borrower (but shall have no obligation to disclose any confidential information, unless arrangements satisfactory to the relevant Lender have been made to preserve the confidential nature of such information) in challenging such Tax at such Borrower’s expense if requested by such Borrower (it being understood and agreed that none of Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have any obligation to contest, or any responsibility for contesting, any Tax). If a Lender shall become aware that it is entitled to receive a refund (whether by way of a direct payment or by offset) in respect of a Covered Tax as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this subsection 2.7C or subsection 2.7B, it shall promptly notify such Borrower of the availability of such refund (unless it was made aware of such refund by a Borrower) and shall, within 30 days after the receipt of a request from such Borrower, apply for such refund at such Borrower’s sole expense. If any Lender, Tax Transferee or Administrative Agent, as applicable, receives a refund

100




(whether by way of a direct payment or by offset) of any Covered Tax for which a payment has been made pursuant to this subsection 2.7C or subsection 2.7B which, in the reasonable good faith judgment of such Lender, Tax Transferee or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is allocable to such payment made under this subsection 2.7C or subsection 2.7B, the amount of such refund shall be paid to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this subsection 2.7C or subsection 2.7B with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender, Tax Transferee or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that such Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, Tax Transferee or Administrative Agent agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender, Tax Transferee or Administrative Agent in the event such Lender, Tax Transferee or Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Lender, Tax Transferee or Administrative Agent to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

(v)           Tax Certificates. (1) Each Lender with Tranche B Term Loan Exposure or Revolving Loan Commitments that is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any state or other political subdivision thereof shall deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to Owens-Brockway, on or before the Closing Date in the case of a Lender party hereto on such date, or on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Borrowers’ Agent or Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), such certificates, documents or other evidence, properly and accurately completed and duly executed by such Lender (including, without limitation, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI or any other certificate or statement of exemption required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-4(a) or Section 1.1441-6(c) or any successor thereto) to establish that such Lender is not subject to or is subject to a reduced rate of deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax under Section 1441 or 1442 of the Internal Revenue Code or otherwise (or under any comparable provisions of any successor statute) with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Loan Documents and shall deliver to the appropriate Person upon request such other certificates, documents or other evidence as may be required from time to time, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, to establish the basis for any applicable exemption from or reduction of United States federal income tax under Section 1441 or 1442 of the Internal Revenue Code or otherwise (or under any comparable provisions of any successor statute) with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees, commissions or any other amount payable under any of the Loan Documents by Owens-Brockway, (2) each Lender with Tranche C Term Loan Exposure or Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments shall deliver to the appropriate Person such application forms, certificates, documents or other evidence as may be reasonably requested from time to time by O-I Canada, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, to

101




enable O-I Canada, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to be able to pay interest on the Tranche C Term Loans or Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments of such Lender without withholding or deduction, or at reduced rates of withholding or deduction, for or on account of any Canadian income tax, (3) each Lender with Tranche D Term Loan Exposure or Dutch Revolving Loan Commitments shall deliver to the appropriate Person such application forms, certificates, documents or other evidence as may be reasonably requested from time to time by OIEG, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, to enable OIEG, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to be able to pay interest on the Tranche D Term Loans or Dutch Revolving Loan Commitments of such Lender without withholding or deduction, or at reduced rates of withholding or deduction, for or on account of any Dutch income tax and (4) each Lender with Swiss Revolving Loan Commitments shall deliver to the appropriate Person such application forms, certificates, documents or other evidence as may be reasonably requested from time to time by O-I Europe, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, to enable O-I Europe, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to be able to pay interest on the Swiss Revolving Loan Commitments of such Lender without withholding or deduction, or at reduced rates of withholding or deduction, for or on account of any Swiss income tax.

Each Arranger will cooperate with ACI, and will do or provide such other things as may be reasonably requested from time to time by ACI, to demonstrate that the requirements of section 128F of the Income Tax Assessment Act of 1936 (Commonwealth of Australia) were satisfied in relation to the issues of Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche A Term Loan Notes, Australian Revolving Loans and Australian Revolving Loan Notes under this Agreement, so that payment of interest under each of the above-mentioned Loans will be exempt from withholding tax under the Income Tax Assessment Act of 1936 (Commonwealth of Australia). Non-compliance by either Arranger with this paragraph shall not relieve ACI of its obligations under subsections 2.7C(i), 2.7C(ii) or 2.7C(ii).

D.            Replacement of Lender. If any Borrower receives a notice pursuant to subsections 2.6B, 2.6C, 2.7A, 2.7B or 2.7C, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and such Borrower has obtained a commitment from another Lender or an Eligible Assignee to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Lender to be replaced, such Borrower may require the Lender giving such notice to assign all of its Loans, its Commitments and its other Obligations to such other Lender or Eligible Assignee, at par, pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of subsection 10.2B; provided that, prior to or concurrently with such replacement (i) the applicable Borrower has paid or caused to be paid to the Lender giving such notice all principal, interest, fees and other amounts due and owing to such Lender hereunder through such date of replacement (including any amounts payable under subsection 2.6D(iii)), (ii) the applicable Borrower has paid to Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee required to be paid pursuant to subsection 10.2B(i); and (iii) all of the requirements for such assignment contained in subsection 10.2B, including, without limitation, the receipt by Administrative Agent of an executed Assignment and Acceptance and other supporting documents, have been fulfilled.

102




2.8          Letters of Credit

A.            Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Company and Borrowers set forth herein, Borrowers’ Agent may request on behalf and for the account of any Borrower (other than O-I Canada; provided, however, Borrowers’ Agent may request that a Letter of Credit be issued for the account of Owens-Brockway which will support an obligation of O-I Canada), in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 2.8A, in addition to requesting that Lenders make Loans pursuant to subsection 2.1, that on and after the Closing Date one or more Issuing Lenders issue, and one or more Issuing Lenders will issue, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Standby Letters of Credit and Commercial Letters of Credit for the account of such Borrower. Issuances of Letters of Credit shall be subject to the following limitations:

(i)            Borrowers’ Agent shall not request that any Lender issue, and no Lender shall have any obligation hereunder to issue, any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments would exceed the Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect;

(ii)           Borrowers’ Agent shall not request that any Lender issue and no Lender shall have any obligation hereunder to issue, any Letter of Credit for the account of any Offshore Borrower if, after giving effect to such issuance (i) the Total Utilization of Australian Revolving Loan Commitments would exceed the Australian Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect; (iii) the Total Utilization of Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments would exceed the Canadian Revolving Commitments then in effect, (iii) the Total Utilization of Dutch Revolving Loan Commitments would exceed the Dutch Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect or (iv) the Total Utilization of Swiss Revolving Loan Commitments would exceed the Swiss Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect;

(iii)          In no event shall any Issuing Lender issue (w) any Letter of Credit (1) having a tenor other than sight or (2) having an expiration date later than ten days prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date; (x) subject to the foregoing clause (w), any Standby Letter of Credit having an expiration date more than one year after its date of issuance; provided that, subject to the foregoing clause (w) and to subsection 2.8A(iv), this clause (x) shall not prevent any Issuing Lender from issuing a Standby Letter of Credit having an expiration date up to two years after its date of issuance if such Standby Letter of Credit will be used by the applicable Borrower in connection with, or in lieu of, posting an appeal bond; provided, further that, subject to the foregoing clause (w), this clause (x) shall not prevent any Issuing Lender from agreeing that a Standby Letter of Credit will automatically be extended annually for a period not to exceed one year unless such Issuing Lender gives notice that it will not extend; provided, further that such Issuing Lender shall deliver a written notice to Administrative Agent setting forth the last day on which such Issuing Lender may give notice that it will not extend (the “Notification Date” with respect to such Standby Letter of Credit) at least ten Business Days prior to such Notification Date; and provided, further that, unless Requisite Lenders otherwise consent, such Issuing Lender shall give notice that it will not extend if it has knowledge that an Event of Default has occurred

103




and is continuing on such Notification Date; or (y) any Commercial Letter of Credit having an expiration date which is more than 180 days after its date of issuance or which is less than 30 days prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date or which is otherwise unacceptable to such Issuing Lender in its reasonable discretion;

(iv)          Borrowers’ Agent shall not request that any Issuing Lender issue, and no Lender shall have any obligation hereunder to issue, any Standby Letter of Credit having an expiration date more than one year after its date of issuance which will be used by a Borrower in connection with, or in lieu of, posting an appeal bond if, after giving effect to such issuance, the Letter of Credit Usage in respect of all such Standby Letters of Credit would exceed $25,000,000;

(v)           Borrowers’ Agent shall not request that any Issuing Lender issue, and no Lender shall have any obligation hereunder to issue, any Standby Letter of Credit of the type described in clause (i), (v), (vi) or (ix) of the definition thereof for the purpose of supporting Indebtedness of Holdings, if after giving effect to such issuance, the Letter of Credit Usage in respect of all such Standby Letters of Credit would exceed $100,000,000; and

(vi)          Borrowers’ Agent shall not request that any Issuing Lender issue, and no Lender shall have any obligation hereunder to issue, any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the Letter of Credit Usage in respect of all Letters of Credit would exceed $350,000,000.

The issuance of any Letter of Credit in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 2.8 shall be given effect in the calculation of the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments and shall require the satisfaction of each condition set forth in subsections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3.

The Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree that upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, each Letter of Credit previously issued for the account of the Borrowers that is outstanding on the Closing Date and listed on Schedule C (each such letter of credit being referred to herein as an “Existing Letter of Credit”) shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed a Letter of Credit issued and outstanding under this Agreement as of the Closing Date for the account of the applicable Borrower under and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and all fees payable under subsection 2.8F with respect to such Existing Letters of Credit shall accrue from the Closing Date. All Existing Letters of Credit as of the date hereof are described in Schedule C annexed hereto.

Immediately upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit by an Issuing Lender, each Revolving Lender other than such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have irrevocably purchased from such Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit and drawings thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the maximum amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder, and each such Lender shall fund such participation in accordance with subsection 2.8E.

B.            Notice of Request for Issuance. Whenever a Borrower desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit, it shall cause Borrowers’ Agent to deliver to Administrative Agent and to the Lender which the Borrowers’ Agent has requested to issue such Letter of Credit a Notice of Request for Issuance of Letter of Credit no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) at least five Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by an Issuing Lender in any particular instance, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. The Notice of Request for Issuance of Letter of Credit shall specify (i) the Borrower for whose account the Letter of Credit has been requested in accordance with subsection 2.8A, (ii) the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a business day under the laws of the jurisdiction of the Issuing Lender), (iii) the face amount of the Letter of Credit, (iv) in the case of a Letter of Credit which the Borrowers’ Agent requests to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars, the currency in which the Borrowers’ Agent requests such Letter of Credit to be issued, (v) the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, (vi) the name and address of the beneficiary, and (vii) the Lender which the Borrowers’ Agent has requested to issue such Letter of Credit; and such Notice of Request for Issuance of Letter of Credit shall further certify that subsection 3.2B is satisfied on and as of the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. As soon as practicable after delivery of such notice with respect to any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender for such Letter of Credit shall be determined as provided in subsection 2.8C(ii). Prior to the date of issuance, the Borrowers’ Agent shall specify a precise description of the documents and the verbatim text of any certificate to be presented by the beneficiary which, if presented by the beneficiary prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, would require the Issuing Lender to make payment under the Letter of Credit; provided that the Issuing Lender, in its sole reasonable judgment, may require changes in any such documents and certificates. In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under that Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of that Letter of Credit.

C.            Determination of Issuing Lender.

(i)            Borrowers’ Agent may request any Revolving Lender to issue a Letter of Credit and, upon receipt by such Lender of a notice from Borrowers’ Agent pursuant to subsection 2.8B requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers’ Agent and Administrative Agent whether or not, in its sole discretion, it has elected to issue such Letter of Credit. If such Lender elects to issue such Letter of Credit, such Lender shall be the Issuing Lender with respect thereto. If such Lender declines to issue such Letter of Credit, the Borrowers’ Agent may request any other Revolving Lender to issue such Letter of Credit, by delivering the notice described in subsection 2.8B to such Lender. In the event that all Lenders shall have declined to issue such Letter of Credit, Administrative Agent shall be obligated to issue the Letter of Credit requested by Borrowers’ Agent and shall be the Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit; provided that Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit (1) denominated in a foreign currency which in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent is not readily and freely available or (2) if any Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment is a Defaulting Participating Lender at such time, unless Administrative Agent has entered into arrangement satisfactory to it and the applicable Borrower to eliminate Administrative Agent’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by such Defaulting Participating Lender, including by

105




cash collateralizing such Defaulting Participating Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the L/C Disbursements.

(ii)           Each Issuing Lender which elects to issue or amend a Letter of Credit shall promptly give written notice to Administrative Agent, and the applicable Borrower of the information required under subsection 2.8B(i) - (v) relating to such Letter of Credit and shall provide a copy of such Letter of Credit (as amended, if applicable) to Administrative Agent, and the applicable Borrower. Promptly after receipt of such notice, Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender (other than the Issuing Lender) of the amount of its respective participation therein, determined in accordance with subsection 2.8A.

(iii)          In the event that Administrative Agent is not the Issuing Lender in respect of a Commercial Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender of such Commercial Letter of Credit will deliver to Administrative Agent, promptly on the first Business Day of each week such Commercial Letter of Credit is outstanding, a report setting forth the daily aggregate outstandings for the previous week under such Commercial Letter of Credit. Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly after the end of each calendar month and upon each payment by Administrative Agent to Lenders of the letter of credit fees described in subsection 2.8F(1)(b), a report setting forth, for the period from the date of the last such report, the daily aggregate amount available to be drawn (to the extent such amounts have been reported to Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence) under each Commercial Letter of Credit issued by each Issuing Lender.

D.            Payment of Amounts Drawn Under Letters of Credit. In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall notify the Borrower at whose request the Letter of Credit was issued and Administrative Agent on or before the date which is two Business Days prior to the date on which such Issuing Lender intends to honor such drawing (unless such Letter of Credit by its terms requires the Issuing Lender to honor a drawing on or prior to the second Business Day following such drawing, in which case the Issuing Lender shall notify the Borrower at whose request the Letter of Credit was issued and Administrative Agent as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event on or before the date on which such Issuing Lender intends to honor such drawing), and the Borrower at whose request the Letter of Credit was issued shall reimburse such Issuing Lender on the date on which such drawing is honored, in each case in an amount in either the currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated or in Dollars and in Same Day Funds equal to the amount of such drawing (which amount, in the case of a reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit which is denominated in a currency other than Dollars, shall be calculated by reference to the applicable Spot Rate); provided that, anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, unless the Borrower at whose request the Letter of Credit was issued shall have notified Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such drawing that the Borrower at whose request the Letter of Credit was issued intends to reimburse such Issuing Lender for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Loans, the Borrower at whose request the Letter of Credit was issued shall be deemed to have given a Notice of Borrowing to Administrative Agent requesting Lenders to make Revolving Loans (or Offshore Revolving Loans, as applicable) to such

106




Borrower which are Base Rate Loans (or, in the case of any such Loans denominated in Euro or ADollars, Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month), on the date on which such drawing is honored, in an amount in the currency in which the Letter of Credit is denominated (if denominated in ADollars, Euro or Dollars), and otherwise in Dollars, equal to the amount of such honored drawing (which amount, in the case of a drawing under a Letter of Credit which is denominated in a currency other than ADollars, Euro or Dollars, shall be calculated by reference to the applicable Spot Rate for Dollars on the date such drawing is honored), and subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in subsection 3.2B, Lenders shall, on the date of such requested borrowing, make Revolving Loans (or Offshore Revolving Loans, as applicable) to such Borrower which are Base Rate Loans (or, in the case of any such Loans denominated in Euro or ADollars, Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month), in the amount of such drawing as aforesaid, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by Administrative Agent to reimburse such Issuing Lender for the amount of such drawing, and if for any reason proceeds of Revolving Loans (or Offshore Revolving Loans, as applicable) are not received by such Issuing Lender on such date in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing, Borrowers shall reimburse such Issuing Lender in an amount in the currency in which the Letter of Credit is denominated (if denominated in ADollars, Euro or Dollars), and otherwise in Dollars, on the business day (under the laws of the jurisdiction of such Issuing Lender) immediately following the date on which reimbursement of such drawing is required as provided above, in an amount in Same Day Funds equal to the excess of the amount of such drawing over the amount of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received, plus accrued interest on such amount at the rate set forth in subsection 2.8F(2).

E.             Payment by Lenders with Respect to Letters of Credit. In the event that Borrowers shall fail to reimburse an Issuing Lender as provided in subsection 2.8D in either the currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated or, in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Euro or ADollars, in an amount in Dollars (calculated, in the case of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars, by reference to the applicable Spot Rate on the date such drawing is honored) equal to the amount of any drawing honored by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it, such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of the unreimbursed amount of such drawing and Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of such unreimbursed amount and of such Lender’s respective participation therein pursuant to this subsection 2.8E. Each such Lender shall make available to such Issuing Lender an amount equal to its respective participation, in the currency in which the Letter of Credit is denominated (if denominated in ADollars or Euro), and otherwise in Dollars, and in Same Day Funds, at the office of such Issuing Lender specified in such notice, not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the business day (under the laws of the jurisdiction of such Issuing Lender) after the date notified by such Issuing Lender (provided, that, such Issuing Lender may request that such purchase of participations be transacted through Administrative Agent). In the event that any Revolving Lender fails to make available to such Issuing Lender the amount of such Lender’s required participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this subsection 2.8E, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest at the customary rate set by such Issuing Lender for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin. Nothing in this subsection 2.8 shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender to recover from such Issuing Lender any amounts made available by such Lender to such Issuing Lender

107




pursuant to this subsection 2.8E in the event that it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit by such Issuing Lender in respect of which payment was made by such Lender constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender. Each Issuing Lender shall distribute to each other Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this subsection 2.8E with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments received by such Issuing Lender from Borrowers in reimbursement of drawings honored by such Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit when such payments are received. Notwithstanding subsection 2.8D, any reimbursements by Borrowers of amounts drawn on any Letter of Credit after participations in such unreimbursed drawing have been purchased by Lenders under this subsection 2.8E shall be made in the currency in which such participations were purchased.

F.             Compensation. Borrowers agree to pay the following amounts to each Issuing Lender for its own account with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it (with respect to paragraphs (1)(a) and (3) below) and to Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender (with respect to paragraphs 1(b) and (2) below) with respect to all Letters of Credit:

(1)           with respect to each Letter of Credit, (a) an administrative fee equal to 0.125% per annum of the maximum amount available from time to time to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (but in no event less than $250 per annum), payable in arrears on and to (but excluding) each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year and calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed; and (b) a Letter of Credit Fee payable to the Lenders equal to (x) the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin as in effect for Revolving Loans from time to time multiplied by (y) the maximum amount available from time to time to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, per annum payable in arrears on and to (but excluding) each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year and calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed which Letter of Credit Fee shall be shared by all Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares;

(2)           with respect to drawings made under any Letter of Credit, interest, payable on demand, on the amount paid by such Issuing Lender in respect of each such drawing from the date of payment of the drawing through the date such amount is reimbursed by Borrowers (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of Loans pursuant to subsection 2.8D) at a rate equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin plus 2.00% per annum; and

(3)           with respect to the issuance, amendment or transfer of, or payment of a drawing under, each Letter of Credit, documentary and processing charges in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be.

For purposes of this subsection 2.8F, (a) the maximum amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit as of any date of determination shall be determined as of the close of business on such date and (b) any amount described in such clauses which is denominated in a currency other than Dollars shall be valued in Dollars based on the applicable Spot Rate for Dollars for such currency as of the applicable date of determination. Promptly

108




upon receipt by Administrative Agent of any amount described in clause (1)(b) of this subsection 2.8F, Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Revolving Lender its Pro Rata Share of such amount. In the event Lenders have funded participations in a Letter of Credit pursuant to subsection 2.8E, the Issuing Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit may request that interest payments with respect thereto to participants be administered by and through the Administrative Agent.

G.            Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse each Issuing Lender for drawings made under the Letters of Credit issued by it and the obligations of Revolving Lenders under subsection 2.8E shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

(1)           any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

(2)           the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which any Loan Party may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any persons or entities for whom any such transferee may be acting), such Issuing Lender, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which the Letter of Credit was procured);

(3)           any draft, demand, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(4)           payment by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, provided that such payment does not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction;

(5)           any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, which is similar to any of the foregoing; or

(6)           the fact that an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

H.            Additional Payments. If by reason of (a) any change after the date hereof in applicable law, regulation, rule, decree or regulatory requirement or any change after the date hereof in the interpretation or application by any judicial or regulatory authority of any law, regulation, rule, decree or regulatory requirement (in each case other than any law, regulation, rule, decree or regulatory requirement regarding capital adequacy) or (b) compliance by any Issuing Lender or any Lender with any direction, request or requirement (whether or not having the force of law) of any governmental or monetary authority imposed after the date hereof including, without limitation, Regulation D (but excluding, however, any direction, request or requirement regarding capital adequacy):

109




(i)            such Issuing Lender or any Lender shall be subject to any tax, levy, charge or withholding of any nature or to any variation thereof or to any penalty with respect to the maintenance or fulfillment of its obligations under this subsection 2.8, whether directly or by such being imposed on or suffered by such Issuing Lender or any Lender;

(ii)           any reserve, deposit or similar requirement is or shall be applicable, imposed or modified in respect of any Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender or participations therein purchased by any Lender; or

(iii)          there shall be imposed on such Issuing Lender or any Lender any other condition regarding this subsection 2.8, any Letter of Credit or any participation therein;

and the result of the foregoing is to directly or indirectly increase the cost to such Issuing Lender or any Lender of issuing, making or maintaining any Letter of Credit or of purchasing or maintaining any participation therein, or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof by such Issuing Lender or any Lender, then and in any such case such Issuing Lender or such Lender may, at any time within six months after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify Borrowers, and Borrowers shall pay within ten days of receipt of such notice such amounts as such Issuing Lender or such Lender may specify to be necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or such Lender for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from 10 days after the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at a rate equal at all times to the Base Rate per annum. The determination by such Issuing Lender or any Lender, as the case may be, of any amount due pursuant to this subsection 2.8H as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto.

I.              Indemnification; Nature of Issuing Lender’s Duties. In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this subsection 2.8, (i) Owens-Brockway hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save each Issuing Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and allocated costs of internal counsel) which such Issuing Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (A) the issuance of the Letters of Credit for the account of any Borrower, other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (B) the failure of such Issuing Lender to honor a drawing under any Letter of Credit for the account of any Borrower as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Government Acts”); and (ii) the Offshore Borrowers hereby agree to protect, indemnify, pay and save each Issuing Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and allocated costs of internal counsel) which such Issuing Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (A) the issuance of any Letter of Credit for the account of any Offshore Borrower, other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (B) the

110




failure of such Issuing Lender to honor a drawing under any Letter of Credit for the account of any Offshore Borrower as a result of Government Acts.

Subject to the preceding paragraph, as between each relevant Borrower and each Issuing Lender, such Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender on account of that Borrower by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible: (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of such Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, facsimile, electronic mail or otherwise; (v) for errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Lender, including, without limitation, any Government Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any of such Issuing Lender’s rights or powers hereunder; provided, however, that such Issuing Lender shall be responsible for any payment it makes under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit in the event such payment constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith and in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not put such Issuing Lender under any resulting liability to Borrowers.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection 2.8I, Borrowers shall have no obligation to indemnify any Issuing Lender in respect of any liability incurred by such Issuing Lender arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or out of the wrongful dishonor by such Issuing Lender of proper demand for payment made under the Letters of Credit issued by it.

2.9                               O-I General as Borrowers’ Agent

O-I General is hereby appointed Borrowers’ agent hereunder by each Borrower (in such capacity “Borrowers’ Agent”). Each Borrower hereby authorizes, directs and empowers O-I General to act for and in the name of such Borrower and as its agent hereunder

111




and under the other instruments and agreements referred to herein. O-I General hereby accepts each such appointment. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes O-I General to take such action on such Borrower’s behalf and to exercise such powers hereunder, under the other Loan Documents, and under the other agreements and instruments referred to herein or therein as may be contemplated being taken or exercised by such Borrower by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be incidental thereto, including, without limitation, to borrow hereunder and deliver Notices of Borrowing, Notices of Conversion/Continuation, Notices of Issuance of Letter of Credit and Compliance Certificates hereunder, to convert, continue, repay or prepay Loans made hereunder, to reduce the Commitments, to pay interest, fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Loans, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the other agreements and instruments referred to herein or therein, to receive from or deliver to any Agent any notices, statements, reports, certificates or other documents or instruments contemplated herein, in the other Loan Documents or in any other agreement or instrument referred to herein and to receive from or transmit to any Agent any Loan proceeds or payments. Each Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to rely on the appointment and authorization of O-I General with respect to all matters related to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other agreements or instruments referred to herein or therein whether or not any particular provision hereof or thereof specifies that such matters may or shall be undertaken by Borrowers’ Agent. In reliance hereon, each Agent and each Lender may deal with O-I General alone with the same effect as if such Agent or such Lender had dealt with each Borrower separately and individually.

2.10        Collection Allocation Mechanism

A.            Implementation of Collection Allocation Mechanism. On the CAM Exchange Date, (i) the Commitments shall terminate as provided in Section 7, (ii) Revolving Lenders shall purchase their required participations in the Domestic Overdraft Amount, the Offshore Overdraft Amount pursuant to subsection 2.1B and 2.1D(ii), respectively, and in unreimbursed L/C Disbursements pursuant to subsection 2.8E, (iii) all Loans and all Offshore Overdraft Amounts denominated in an Offshore Currency shall be converted into, and all such amounts due thereunder shall accrue and be payable in, Dollars at the applicable Spot Rate on such date, and on and after such date the interest rate applicable to all such Loans shall be the rate applicable to overdue Loans of the relevant type that are Base Rate Loans hereunder and the  interest rate applicable to such Offshore Overdraft Amount shall be the rate applicable to overdue Revolving Loans in Dollars that are Base Rate Loans hereunder, and (iv) the Lenders shall automatically and without further action (and without regard to the provisions of subsection 10.2) be deemed to have exchanged interests in the Specified Obligations such that in lieu of the interest of each Lender in each such Specified Obligation in which it shall participate as of such date, such Lender shall hold an interest in every one of the Specified Obligations,  whether or not such Lender shall previously have participated therein, equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage thereof.

B.            Binding Nature of Collection Allocation Mechanism. Each Lender hereby consents and agrees (and each Borrower hereby consents) to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees that the CAM Exchange shall be binding upon its successors and assigns and any Person that acquires a participation in its interests in any Specified Obligation. Each Borrower agrees from time to time to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent all participation

112




certificates and other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm the respective interests of the Lenders after giving effect to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees to surrender any promissory notes originally received by it in connection with its Loans constituting Specified Obligations hereunder to the Administrative Agent against delivery of new promissory notes evidencing its interests in the Specified Obligations with respect to the Loans; provided that the failure of any Borrower to execute or deliver or of any Lender to accept any such promissory note, instrument or document shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the CAM Exchange.

C.            Payments Subsequent to CAM Exchange Date. As a result of the CAM Exchange, upon and after the CAM Exchange Date, each payment received by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent pursuant to any Loan Document in respect of the Specified Obligations, and each distribution made by Collateral Agent pursuant to any Collateral Documents in respect of the Specified Obligations, shall be distributed to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective CAM Percentages. Any direct payment received by a Lender upon or after the CAM Exchange Date, including by way of set-off, in respect of a Specified Obligation shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders in accordance herewith.

D.            Subsequent LC Disbursements. If, on or after the CAM Exchange Date, an Issuing Lender makes an LC Disbursement that is not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower, then (i) each applicable Revolving Lender (determined without giving effect to the CAM Exchange) shall, in accordance with subsection 2.8E, promptly purchase from the Issuing Bank a participation in such LC Disbursement in the amount of such Revolving Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Percentage of such LC Disbursement (without giving effect to the CAM Exchange) and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall redetermine the CAM Percentages after giving effect to such LC Disbursement and the purchase of participations therein by the applicable Revolving Lenders. Each such redetermination shall be binding on each of the Lenders and their successors and assigns and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

Lenders as an additional insured thereunder as its interests may appear and (b) in the case of each casualty insurance policy, contain a loss payable clause or endorsement, satisfactory in form and substance to Collateral Agent, that names Collateral Agent for the benefit of Lenders as the loss payee thereunder for any covered loss in excess of $25,000,000 and provides for at least 30 days’ prior written notice to Collateral Agent of any modification or cancellation of such policy.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the applicable Loan Party shall deliver to Collateral Agent for application to the Loans if Collateral Agent so elects an amount equal to such portion of such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds to prepay the Loans (and/or reduce the Revolving Loan Commitments) as provided in subsection 2.4B subject to any limitations contained in the Intercreditor Agreement. Upon any election pursuant to clause (a) above, Company or the applicable Loan Party shall, following such election, diligently pursue the repair, restoration or replacement of the assets in respect of which such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds were received. If any portion of such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds are not used to repair, replace or restore the assets in respect of which such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds were received within, in the case of any such proceeds that would constitute “Excess Proceeds” under the indenture governing the Existing Owens-Brockway Senior Secured Notes or the Existing Owens-Brockway Senior Unsecured Notes if not so used by a date certain, 355 days of such receipt (or Company and/or the applicable Loan Party cease the diligent pursuit of the same), any amount of such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds not so used shall be applied to prepay the Term Loans and/or reduce Revolving Loan Commitments as provided in subsection 2.4B and shall be otherwise applied as required by the Intercreditor Agreement.

The Syndication Agent shall have no powers or duties hereunder except as expressly specified in this Agreement. The duties of Agents shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; Agents shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon any Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or the other instruments and agreements referred to herein except as expressly set forth herein or therein. The title of “Joint Lead Arrangers” or “Joint Bookrunners” or “Syndication Agent” or “Co-Documentation Agents” provided to certain Lenders in the introductory paragraph to this Agreement is honorary only and does not impose any duty or obligation on such Lenders.

B.            No Responsibility for Certain Matters. No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of this Agreement, the Guaranties, the Collateral Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Notes issued hereunder, or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statement or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports, certificates or any other documents in connection herewith or therewith furnished or made by such Agent to Lenders or by or on behalf of any Borrower to any Agent or any Lender or be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of Letters of Credit or of the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default.

156




in connection with any Revolving Loan or Offshore Revolving Loan requested by any Borrower hereunder.

Neither Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted hereunder or in connection herewith (including without limitation any act or omission under the Guaranties, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement) unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct. If an Agent or Agents shall request instructions from Lenders with respect to any act or action (including the failure to take an action) in connection with this Agreement, or the other instruments and agreements referred to herein, such Agent or Agents, as the case may be, shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until such Agent or Agents, as the case may be, shall have received instructions from Requisite Lenders. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for Company and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting under this Agreement or the other instruments and agreements referred to herein in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders.

D.            Agents Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Loans and Letters of Credit, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity. Each Agent and each of its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with any Borrower or any Affiliate of any Borrower as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

8.3                               Representations and Warranties; No Responsibility for Appraisal of Creditworthiness

Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Company and the Borrowers in connection with the making of the Loans, the extensions of credit under the Domestic Overdraft Account and the Offshore Overdraft Accounts (in the case of Administrative Agent and each Lender that is an Offshore Overdraft Account Provider) and the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder and such Lender’s purchasing of participations in such Loans, the Domestic Overdraft Account, the

157




Offshore Overdraft Accounts or such Letters of Credit and has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Company and the Borrowers. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility either initially or on a continuing basis to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or the issuance of the Letters of Credit or any time or times thereafter and no Agent shall have any further responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of the information provided to Lenders.

8.4          Right to Indemnity

Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify each Agent, proportionately to its Pro Rata Share as in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought hereunder, to the extent such Agent shall not have been reimbursed by Borrowers, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in performing its duties hereunder or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other instruments and agreements referred to herein; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to an Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.

8.5          Registered Persons Treated as Owners

Agents may deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the owners of the corresponding Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof unless and until an Assignment and Acceptance effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been accepted by Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided in subsection 10.2B(ii). Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of the corresponding Loan.

8.6          Successor Agents and Domestic Overdraft Account Provider

(i)            Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrowers’ Agent, and Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to Borrowers’ Agent and Administrative Agent and signed by Requisite Lenders. Upon any such notice of resignation or any such removal, Requisite Lenders shall have the right, upon five days’ notice to Company and Borrowers’ Agent, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent; provided that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing such appointment shall be subject to the consent of Borrowers’ Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably

158




withheld. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent (which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States) provided that if the Agent shall notify Borrower’s Agent and the Lenders that no qualifying person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security as nominee until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through an Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

(ii)           Any resignation or removal of Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection 8.6 shall also constitute the resignation or removal of Administrative Agent as the provider of the Domestic Overdraft Account and the resignation or removal of Administrative Agent or its Affiliate (including DBTCA, if applicable) as Collateral Agent, and any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this subsection 8.6 shall, upon its acceptance of, and as a condition to, such appointment, become the successor provider of the Domestic Overdraft Account and Collateral Agent for all purposes hereunder. In the event of any such resignation or removal (a) Owens-Brockway shall repay in full the Domestic Overdraft Amount and all other amounts owing to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent under the Domestic Overdraft Agreement, and (b) Borrowers and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall terminate the Domestic Overdraft Agreement to which they are a party and Company and the successor Administrative Agent shall enter into a successor Domestic Overdraft Agreement.

8.7                               Intercreditor Agreements, Subsidiary Guaranty and Collateral Documents

Each Lender hereby authorizes Collateral Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement in the form of Exhibit XVII attached hereto on behalf of and for the benefit of that Lender, and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender hereby authorizes Collateral Agent to enter into the Guaranties, the Intercreditor Agreement, and

159




each Collateral Document, and to take all action contemplated by the Guaranties, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents; provided that Collateral Agent shall not enter into or consent to any amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision contained in the Intercreditor Agreement without the prior consent of the Requisite Lenders. In addition, each Lender authorizes DBTCA to hold loans made by it under the Nominal Restatement in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and, as beneficiaries of the nominal loans to ACI under the Nominal Restatement, each Lender authorizes and directs DBTCA, in its capacity as lender agent under the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement, to acknowledge that the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated pursuant to the Nominal Restatement, is no longer the “Credit Agreement” for purposes of the Intercreditor Agreement.

Upon the proposed sale, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral by Company or any of its Subsidiaries in accordance with this Agreement for which Company or such Subsidiary desires to obtain a security interest release from Collateral Agent, Company or such Subsidiary shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate (x) stating that the Collateral subject to such disposition is being sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and (y) specifying the Collateral being sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in the proposed transaction. Upon the receipt of such Officers’ Certificate, Collateral Agent is authorized, at Borrowers’ expense, so long as Collateral Agent has no reason to believe that the Officers’ Certificate so delivered with respect to such sale is not true and correct, to execute and deliver such releases of its security interest in such Collateral which is to be so sold, transferred or disposed of, as may be reasonably requested by Company or such Subsidiary. If Requisite Lenders, or if required, all Lenders, consent to the release or reconveyance of any of the Collateral, Collateral Agent is authorized to, at Borrowers’ expense, release, and to execute and deliver any necessary releases of its security interest in such Collateral in connection therewith and all such reconveyances or transfers shall be without recourse to Collateral Agent or the Lenders and without representation or warranty of any kind. Each Lender agrees that no Lender shall have any right individually to seek to enforce the Guaranties or to realize upon the security granted by any Collateral Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by Collateral Agent for the benefit of Lenders and the parties to the Intercreditor Agreement upon the terms of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement. Upon the satisfaction of the Collateral Release Conditions and delivery by Borrowers’ Agent of an Officers’ Certificate to such effect, Collateral Agent shall at Borrowers’ expense so long as Collateral Agent has no reason to believe that the statements in such Officers Certificate are not true and correct, execute and deliver releases of its security interests in all Collateral (except for Capital Stock) as may be reasonably requested by the Borrowers’ Agent, provided, that, if at any time after such a release of Collateral a Downgrade occurs, then (x) upon the request of Collateral Agent, Company, each Borrower and each other Loan Party shall, at the sole expense of Borrowers, take any action and execute all documents necessary or desirable in the reasonable opinion of Collateral Agent to reattach Liens on Collateral under the Collateral Documents and each Loan Party shall deliver within seventy-five (75) days of such Downgrade originals of all Pledged Securities to Collateral Agent to the extent so requested and otherwise required to be delivered pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents and Collateral Agent may make (or cause the applicable Person to make) any filings (UCC or otherwise) necessary to effect the Liens granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents.

8.8                               Quebec Security

For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of the Collateral Agent or any other Person acting as an agent or mandatary for the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, each Lender hereby acknowledges that, for purposes of holding any security granted by any of the Borrowers on property pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure obligations of such Borrower under any debenture, bond or other title of indebtedness issued by a Borrower, the Collateral Agent shall be the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) (within the meaning of the Civil Code of Quebec) for all present and future Lenders, and in particular for all present and future holders of any debenture, bond or other title of indebtedness issued by a Borrower. Each Lender hereby irrevocably constitutes, to the extent necessary, the Collateral Agent as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec) in order to hold security granted by any Borrower in the Province of Quebec to secure the obligations of such Borrower under any debenture, bond or other title of indebtedness that may be issued by a Borrower and pledged in favour of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders. Each assignee of a Lender shall be deemed to have confirmed and ratified the constitution of the Collateral Agent as the holder of such irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) by execution of the Assignment and Acceptance. The execution by the Collateral Agent, acting as fondé de pouvoir and mandatary, prior to this Agreement, of any deeds of hypothec or other security documents is hereby ratified and confirmed. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 32 of the An Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Quebec), the Collateral Agent may acquire and be the holder of any debenture, bond or other title of indebtedness issued under any deed of hypothec and issue of bonds executed by any Borrower in favour of the Collateral Agent as fondé de pouvoir. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that such debenture or bond constitutes a title of indebtedness, as such term is used in Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec.

The Collateral Agent, acting as holding of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir), shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favour of the Collateral Agent in the Agreement, which shall apply mutatis mutandis. Without limitation, the provisions of Section 8.6 of this Agreement shall apply mutatis mutandis to the resignation and appointment of a successor Collateral Agent, acting as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir).

SECTION 9

COMPANY GUARANTY

9.1          Guaranty

Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranties the due and punctual payment of all Obligations of all Borrowers hereunder and any Other Permitted Credit Exposure, when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required payment, declaration, demand or otherwise (including amounts which would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), and agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of

161




internal counsel) incurred by Collateral Agent, Agents or Lenders or their Affiliates party to such Other Permitted Credit Exposure (each, a “Guarantied Party” and collectively, the “Guarantied Parties”) in enforcing or preserving any rights under this Guaranty (all such obligations collectively, the “Guarantied Obligations”); provided, that, in order to enjoy the benefit of the foregoing guaranty any such Lender or Affiliate thereof party to any such Other Permitted Credit Exposure shall execute and deliver to Collateral Agent, during such time as such Lender is a Lender under this Agreement, an acknowledgment to the Intercreditor Agreement agreeing to be bound thereby and acknowledged by Borrowers’ Agent. Any Lender or Affiliate thereof obtaining the benefit of the foregoing guaranty with respect to Other Permitted Credit Exposure shall remain a Guarantied Party hereunder with respect to such Other Permitted Credit Exposure only for so long as such Lender remains a Lender under this Agreement.

9.2          Waivers

A.            Company agrees that the Guarantied Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that Company will remain bound upon this Guaranty notwithstanding any extension, renewal or other alteration of any Guarantied Obligation.

B.            Company waives presentation of, demand of, and protest of any Guarantied Obligation and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of Company under this Guaranty shall not be affected by:

(i)            the failure of any Guarantied Party or any other Person to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Company, any Borrower or any Subsidiary under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document relating to Other Permitted Credit Exposure or any other agreement or otherwise,

(ii)           any extension or renewal of any provision of any thereof,

(iii)          any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document relating to Other Permitted Credit Exposure or any instrument or agreement executed pursuant hereto or thereto,

(iv)          the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the security held by any Guarantied Party, Collateral Agent, any Agent or any other Person for any of the Guarantied Obligations, or

(v)           the failure of any Guarantied Party or any other Person to exercise any right or remedy against any Borrower or any guarantor of any of the Guarantied Obligations.

C.            Company further agrees that this Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Guarantied Party or any other Person to any of the security held for payment of any of the

162




Guarantied Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Guarantied Party or any other Person in favor of a Borrower or any other Person.

D.            The obligations of Company under this Section 9 shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Guarantied Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Guarantied Obligations, the discharge of any Borrower or any other guarantor from any of the Guarantied Obligations in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding, or otherwise (including due to any expropriation, confiscation, nationalization or requisition by any Governmental Authority). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of Company under this Section 9 shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Guarantied Party, Collateral Agent, any Agent or any other Person to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document relating to Other Permitted Credit Exposure or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any hereof or thereof, by any default, or any other act or thing or event or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Company or which would otherwise operate as a discharge of Company as a matter of law or equity.

E.             Company further agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of, interest on or any other amount with respect to any Guarantied Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Guarantied Party, Collateral Agent, any Agent or any other Person upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Company, any other Person or otherwise.

9.3          Payment

Company further agrees, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Guarantied Party, Collateral Agent, any Agent or any other Person may have at law or in equity against Company by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Borrower to pay any of the Guarantied Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether by required prepayment, declaration or otherwise (including amounts which would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), Company will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of Guarantied Parties, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of such Guarantied Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guarantied Obligations (including, without limitation, interest which, but for the filing of a petition in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower, would have accrued on such Guarantied Obligations) and all other Guarantied Obligations then owed to Guarantied Parties as aforesaid. All such payments shall be applied promptly from time to time by Collateral Agent:

First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of any collection or other realization under this Guaranty, including reasonable compensation to Collateral Agent and its

163




agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by Collateral Agent in connection therewith;

Second, (i) upon and during the effectiveness of the Intercreditor Agreement, to the payment of the Guarantied Obligations as provided in Section 3 of the Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) except as set forth in clause (i), to the payment of the Guarantied Obligations for the ratable benefit of the holders thereof; and

Third, after payment in full of all Guarantied Obligations, to the payment to Company, or its successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such payments.

9.4          Waiver of Subrogation, Etc.

Company hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that it now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower or any of its other Subsidiaries or any of its assets in connection with this Section 9 or the performance by Company of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including without limitation (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that Company now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower or Subsidiary thereof, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that Collateral Agent or any other Guarantied Party now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower or a Subsidiary thereof, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by Collateral Agent or any other Guarantied Party. In addition, until the Guarantied Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, Company shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution it may have against any other guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations as a result of any payment hereunder. Company further agrees that, to the extent the waiver of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any such rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification Company may have against any Borrower or any of its other Subsidiaries or against any collateral or security, and any such rights of contribution a guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights Collateral Agent or any Guarantied Party may have against any Borrower or other guarantor, to all right, title and interest Collateral Agent or any Guarantied Party may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right Collateral Agent or any Guarantied Party may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to Company on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guarantied Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for Collateral Agent on behalf of Guarantied Parties and shall forthwith be paid over to Collateral Agent for the benefit of Guarantied Parties to be credited and applied against the Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

Collateral Agent has been appointed to act on behalf of Guarantied Parties hereunder by Lenders for their benefit and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the holders

164




of any Other Lender Guarantied Obligations. Except as otherwise provided in the next succeeding paragraph, Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action, solely in accordance with this Guaranty and this Agreement; provided that, except as otherwise provided in the Intercreditor Agreement, Collateral Agent shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies hereunder in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, each holder of Other Lender Guarantied Obligations, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to enforce this Section 9, it being understood and agreed by such holder that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Guarantied Parties in accordance with the terms of this paragraph and that all decisions of the Requisite Lenders shall be binding on such holders.

Anything contained in this Guaranty to the contrary notwithstanding, upon and during the effectiveness of the Intercreditor Agreement no Guarantied Party shall be entitled to take any action whatsoever to enforce any term or provision of this Guaranty except through Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

9.5          Termination

At such time as all Obligations have been paid in full and all Commitments have terminated and all Letters of Credit have expired or have been cancelled, the provisions of this Section 9 shall be of no further force and effect as to any Other Lender Guarantied Obligations guaranteed hereby unless an Event of Default described in subsection 7.6 or subsection 7.7 shall then be continuing.

9.6          Security

The obligations of Company under this Section 9 are secured pursuant to the Pledge Agreement and the Security Agreement.

SECTION 10

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1        Representation of Lenders

A.            General. Each Lender hereby represents that it will make each Loan hereunder for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws; provided, however, that, subject to subsection 10.2, the disposition of the Notes or other evidences of Indebtedness held by that Lender shall at all times be within its exclusive control.

B.            Professional Market Party under Dutch Law.

165




(i)            Each Lender with a Tranche D Term Loan Commitment and/or a Dutch Revolving Loan Commitment which is a party to this Agreement on the date of this Agreement represents and warrants to OIEG on the date hereof that it is a PMP.

(ii)           If on the date on which a Person becomes a Lender with a Tranche D Term Loan Exposure and/or a Dutch Revolving Loan Commitment it is a requirement of Netherlands law that such Person is a PMP, each such new Lender represents and warrants to OIEG on the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement as a Lender that it is a PMP.

(iii)          Each Lender or Person giving representations pursuant to this subsection 10.1B acknowledges that OIEG has relied upon such representation and warranty.

10.2                        Assignments and Participations in Loans, Notes and Letters of Credit

A.            General. Each Lender shall, subject to the provisions of this subsection 10.2, have the right at any time to (i) sell, assign, transfer or negotiate to any Eligible Assignee, or (ii) sell participations to any Person in, all or any part of any Loan or Loans made by it or its Commitments or its Letters of Credit or participations therein or any other interest herein or in any other Obligations owed to it. No such sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of any Term Loan or Term Loan Commitment or participation therein by a Lender shall require a ratable sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of any Revolving Loans or Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender or any other Term Loan or Term Loan Commitment of such Lender, and no such sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of the Revolving Loans or Revolving Loan Commitment or participation therein by a Lender shall require a ratable sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of any Term Loan or Term Loan Commitment of such Lender. However, an assignment of a Revolving Loan Commitment shall automatically constitute an assignment of a pro rata portion of the assigning Lender’s Offshore Revolving Loan Commitments to the assignee and Offshore Revolving Loan Commitments may not be otherwise assigned. Prior to the termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments and Offshore Revolving Loan Commitments, Revolving Loans may not be assigned without a concurrent assignment of the Revolving Loan Commitment (in at least the amount of such assigned Revolving Loan) to the assignee of the Loan. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection 10.2, no Lender shall, as between any Borrower and such Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of, or any granting of participations in, all or any part of the Loans, Commitments, Letters of Credit or participations therein or the other Obligations owed to such Lender.

B.            Assignments.

(i)            Amounts and Terms of Assignments. Each Loan, Commitment, Letter of Credit or participation therein or other Obligation may (a) be assigned in any amount (of a constant and not a varying percentage) to another Lender, or to an Affiliate or Related Fund of the assigning Lender or another Lender, with the giving of notice to Borrowers’ Agent and Administrative Agent (provided that, if such Related Fund is not a Lender, such assignment shall be in an amount not less than $1,000,000 in the case of a

166




Term Loan or Term Loan Commitment and $2,500,000 in the case of a Revolving Loan Commitment, Letter of Credit or participation therein or other Obligation) or (b) be assigned in an amount (of a constant and not a varying percentage) of not less than $1,000,000 in the case of a Term Loan or Term Loan Commitment and $2,500,000 in the case of a Revolving Loan Commitment, Letter of Credit or participation therein or other Obligation (or such lesser amount (X) as shall constitute the aggregate amount of all Loans, Commitments, Letters of Credit or participations therein and other Obligations of the assigning Lender or (Y) so long as, after giving effect to such assignment and any other assignments concurrently being made to the assignee, such assignee receives not less than $1,000,000 of Term Loans or Term Loan Commitment, or $2,500,000 of Revolving Loans, Commitments, or other Obligations assigned to it) to any other Eligible Assignee with the giving of notice to Borrowers’ Agent and Administrative Agent and, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, with the consent of Borrowers’ Agent and Administrative Agent (which consent of Borrowers’ Agent and Administrative Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld, withdrawn, delayed or denied; provided that the inability of an Eligible Assignee to satisfy the requirements set forth in subsection 2.7C(v) of this Agreement, if applicable, shall constitute reasonable grounds for withholding such consent; provided further, that it shall also be reasonable for Borrowers’ Agent to withhold consent to an assignment of the Revolving Loan Commitments or Swiss Revolving Loans to an entity that is not a “bank” under the laws of the country of its organization if such assignment would cause withholding tax to be imposed on the Swiss Revolving Loans; provided further, that it shall also be reasonable for Borrowers’ Agent to withhold consent to an assignment of Tranche D Term Loans, Tranche D Term Loan Commitment, or Revolving Loan Commitment if, upon request, such assignee does not represent or otherwise establish to the satisfaction of the Borrowers’ Agent that it is a PMP); and provided yet further, however, that any assignment in accordance with clause (b)  made by Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent or their respective Affiliates as part the primary syndication or after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default or if required by applicable law shall not require the consent of the Borrowers’ Agent. To the extent of any such assignment in accordance with either clause (a) or (b) above, the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations with respect to its Loans, Commitments, Letters of Credit or participations therein or other Obligations or the portion thereof so assigned. The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with, with respect to assignments which occur following the Closing Date, a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 payable to Administrative Agent and such certificates, documents or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding and foreign tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment and Acceptance may be required to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 2.7C(v). Upon such execution, delivery and acceptance, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (y) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and a “Lender” hereunder to the extent of the portion of any such Obligation or Commitment so assigned hereunder and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation in

167




subsection 10.20 to maintain the confidentiality of all non-public information received by it pursuant to this Agreement and (z) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations (except as otherwise provided in subsection 10.11) under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto); provided that, if the assignee of the assigning Lender is an Affiliate of such Lender, such assignee shall not be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to subsections 2.6D(iii) or 2.7 than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the assignment effected by such assigning Lender to such Affiliate had no such assignment occurred. The Commitments hereunder shall be modified to reflect the Commitments of such assignee and any remaining Commitments of such assigning Lender and, if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of a Note to the assigning Lender hereunder, if requested pursuant to subsection 2.1G(iv), new Notes shall be issued upon request to the assignee and to the assigning Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit IV-A, Exhibit IV-B, Exhibit IV-C, Exhibit IV-D, Exhibit V, or Exhibit VI annexed hereto, as the case may be, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, of the assignee and the assigning Lender.

(ii)           Acceptance by Administrative Agent; Recordation in Register. Subject to the requirements of subsection 10.2A and 10.2B(i), upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with the processing and recordation fee referred to in subsection 10.2B(i) and any certificates, documents or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding and foreign tax withholding matters that such assignee may be required to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 2.7C(v), Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit X hereto and if Administrative Agent and Borrowers’ Agent have consented to the assignment evidenced thereby (in each case to the extent such consent is required pursuant to subsection 10.2B(i)), (a) accept such Assignment and Acceptance by executing a counterpart thereof as provided therein (which acceptance shall evidence any required consent of Administrative Agent to such assignment), (b) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (c) give prompt notice thereof to Borrowers’ Agent. Administrative Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it as provided in this subsection 10.2B(ii).

C.            Participations. The holder of any participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except action directly affecting (i) the extension of the regularly scheduled maturity of any portion of the principal amount of or interest on any Loan allocated to such participation; and (ii) a reduction of the principal amount of or the rate of interest payable on any Loan or payments due in repayment of draws under Letters of Credit allocated to such participation and all amounts payable by each Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation. A Lender which has sold a

168




participation in its Loans or Commitments shall require the holder of such participation to agree in writing to comply with the provisions of subsection 10.20 and if a Lender desires to give any prospective participant a copy of any non-public information obtained by Lenders pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement which has been identified as such by any Borrower, such Lender shall require such prospective participant to agree to hold such information in accordance with such prospective participant’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices prior to its delivery of such material to such prospective participant. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that, only for purposes of subsections 2.6D(iii), 2.7, 10.5 and 10.6, any participation will give rise to a direct obligation of such Borrower to the participant and the participant shall be considered to be a “Lender”; provided that no participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to subsections 2.6D(iii) or 2.7 than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation effected by such transferor Lender to such participant had no such participation occurred, unless such participation resulted from the CAM Exchange.

D.            Assignments to Federal Reserve Banks. In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this subsection 10.2, any Lender may assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed to such Lender, and its Notes to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; and any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans may without the consent of or notice to the Administrative Agent or any Borrower, pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Notes held by it) to any trustee for, or any other representative of, holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such fund, as security for such obligations or securities; provided that any foreclosure or similar action by such trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this subsection concerning assignments; provided that (i) no Lender shall, as between any Borrower, and such Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge and (ii) in no event shall such Federal Reserve Bank be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

E.             Successor Offshore Overdraft Providers. Any Offshore Overdraft Account Provider may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders, the relevant Offshore Borrower and Administrative Agent. Upon (i) any such notice of resignation, upon five days notice to Lenders and Administrative Agent, or (ii) an assignment by such Offshore Overdraft Account Provider of all of its Revolving Loan Commitment, such Offshore Borrower shall have the right to appoint a Lender with Revolving Loan Exposure as successor Offshore Overdraft Account Provider with respect to the applicable Borrower; provided that such appointment shall be subject to the consent of Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon the acceptance of any such appointment as an Offshore Overdraft Account Provider hereunder by a successor Offshore Overdraft Account Provider, the relevant Offshore Borrower shall repay in full the relevant Offshore Overdraft Amount and all other amounts owing to the resigning Offshore Overdraft Account Provider under the relevant Offshore Overdraft Agreement, and such Borrower and the resigning Offshore Overdraft Account Provider shall terminate such Offshore Overdraft Agreement and the

169




successor Offshore Overdraft Account Provider shall enter into a successor Offshore Overdraft Agreement.

F.             Information. Each Lender may furnish any information concerning Company and its Subsidiaries in the possession of that Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), subject to subsection 10.20.

10.3        Expenses

Owens-Brockway agrees to promptly pay (i) all the actual and reasonable costs and expenses of preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for the Loan Parties (including without limitation any opinions requested by Lenders as to any legal matters arising hereunder), and of each Loan Party’s performance of and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained herein on their part to be performed or complied with; (ii) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Letters of Credit and the Loans hereunder, and any amendments and waivers hereto or thereto; and (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, including allocated costs of internal counsel, and costs of settlement) incurred by any Agent or Lender in enforcing any Obligations of or in collecting any payments due from any Borrower hereunder or under the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents by reason of such Event of Default or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings.

10.4        Indemnity

In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to subsection 10.3, Owens-Brockway agrees to indemnify, pay and hold Agents and Lenders and the officers, directors, employees, agents, trustees and affiliates (including the Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners) of Agents and Lenders (collectively called the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against, any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto), which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against that Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lenders’ agreement to make the Loans or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder and Lenders’ agreement to purchase participations therein as provided for herein or the use or intended use of the Letters of Credit or the honoring of overdrafts under the Domestic Overdraft Agreement or the purchase of participations by Lenders in the Domestic Overdraft Amount or in the Offshore Overdraft Amounts (the “indemnified liabilities”); provided that Owens-Brockway shall not have any obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to indemnified liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee (it being acknowledged by Owens-Brockway that the entry into the Nominal Restatement and the making of the Loans thereunder at ACI’s request shall not constitute gross negligence or

170




willful misconduct). Owens-Brockway also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees from any claim, demand or liability for broker’s or finder’s fees alleged to have been incurred in connection with any transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising in connection with any such claim, demand or liability. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Owens-Brockway shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all indemnified liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them.

10.5        Set Off

For so long as any of the Obligations are secured by one or more Real Property Assets located in the State of California, each Lender agrees not to charge or offset any amount owed to it by any Loan Party against any of the accounts, property or assets of any Loan Party without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent. Subject to the foregoing sentence, in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, but in all cases subject to subsection 10.6, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized by Company and each Borrower at any time or from time to time, without notice to Company or such Borrower, or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured but not including trust accounts and in whatever currency denominated) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by that Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Company or such Borrower against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of Company or such Borrower to that Lender under this Agreement, the Notes, the Domestic Overdraft Agreement, the Offshore Overdraft Agreements and the Letters of Credit, including, but not limited to, all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement, the Letters of Credit or the Notes or the other Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not (a) that Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) that Lender shall have declared the principal of and the interest on the Loans and Notes, any obligations of Company or such Borrower in respect of the Letters of Credit and other amounts due hereunder to be due and payable as permitted by Section 7 and although said obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured.

10.6        Ratable Sharing

Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, through the exercise of any right of counterclaim, setoff, banker’s lien or otherwise (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans, a mandatory prepayment of Loans, a scheduled repayment of Loans, or a payment made under subsection 2.10, in each case made and applied in accordance with this Agreement) or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then due with respect to the Loans owed to that Lender, the amount then due to that Lender with respect to the Domestic Overdraft Amount or any Offshore Overdraft Amount or any Letter of Credit or Offshore Revolving Loan or any participation therein, or any fees or

171




commissions payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect to the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (y) notify each other Lender and Administrative Agent of such receipt and (z) purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have done simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by the Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due them; provided that if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to that Lender to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Company and each Borrower expressly consent to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased and any other subsequent holder of a participation in any Loan or Letter of Credit or the Domestic Overdraft Amount or any Offshore Overdraft Amount otherwise acquired may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by Company or such Borrower to that holder as fully as if that holder were a holder of such a Loan or Letter of Credit or the Domestic Overdraft Amount or any Offshore Overdraft Amount in the amount of the participation held by that holder.

10.7        Amendments and Waivers

A.            Except as set forth in subsections 2.1A(vi) and (vii), no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by Company or any Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written consent of Requisite Lenders; provided that no such amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent shall, without the consent of each Lender (with Obligations directly affected in the case of the following clause (i)):  (i) extend the scheduled final maturity of any Loan or extend the stated expiration date of the Revolving Loan Commitments or the Offshore Revolving Loan Commitments beyond the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date or any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date or the date for reimbursement of any amount drawn thereunder beyond the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, or reduce the rate of interest (other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any of the Loans pursuant to subsection 2.2E) or fees in respect of the Revolving Loan Commitments, the Offshore Revolving Loan Commitments, the Loans or the Letters of Credit, or extend or waive the time of payment of interest or fees in respect thereof, or reduce or forgive the principal amount of any of the Obligations (including any Obligation to reimburse the amount of any drawing honored under any Letter of Credit), (ii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of this subsection 10.7 or any other provision of this Agreement expressly requiring the approval or concurrence of all Lenders, (iii) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Requisite Lenders or change the definition of “Pro Rata Share” (it being understood that, with respect to the Additional Term Loans and Refinancing Term Loans and, with the consent of Requisite Lenders (determined before giving effect to the proposed action), with respect to other Indebtedness, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in determining what constitutes Requisite Lenders and in determining the Pro Rata Shares of Lenders, in each case on substantially the same basis as the Revolving Loan Commitments and the Revolving Loans or the Term Loan Commitments and the Term Loans are included in such determinations on the

172




Closing Date), (iv) release Company from the Company Guaranty, (v) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than any such release upon the achievement of the Collateral Release Conditions in accordance with subsection 8.7), (vi) amend, waive or modify the ratable treatment of Lenders pursuant to subsection 10.6 or the penultimate sentence of subsection 2.4G or (vii) permit any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or B/A Discount Rate Loan to exceed nine months; provided, further, that no such amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent shall (1) increase the Term Loan Commitment or the Revolving Loan Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that (A) amendments, modifications or waivers of conditions precedent, covenants, Potential Events of Default or Events of Default, mandatory reductions in the Revolving Loan Commitments or of mandatory prepayments of Term Loans or Revolving Loans, shall not constitute an increase of the Term Loan Commitment or the Revolving Loan Commitment of any Lender and (B) an increase in the available portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase in the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender); (2) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of subsection 2.1B or any other provision of this Agreement directly affecting the Domestic Overdraft Account or the Domestic Overdraft Amount (including any provision relating to the repayment of the Domestic Overdraft Amount with the proceeds of Revolving Loans or relating to the obligations of Lenders to purchase participations in the Domestic Overdraft Amount) without the consent of Administrative Agent; (3) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of this Agreement directly affecting an Offshore Overdraft Account or an Offshore Overdraft Amount (including any provision relating to the repayment of such Offshore Overdraft Amount with the proceeds of Offshore Revolving Loans or relating to the obligations of Lenders to purchase participations in such Offshore Overdraft Amount) without the consent of the applicable Offshore Overdraft Provider; (4) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of this Agreement relating to the obligations of Lenders to purchase participations in Letters of Credit without the written concurrence of Administrative Agent and each other Issuing Lender which has a Letter of Credit then outstanding or which has not been reimbursed for a drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by it; or (5) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Section 8 applicable to any Agent without the consent of such Agent. In addition, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of (a) subsection 2.4 that alters the application of any mandatory or voluntary prepayment as between Classes without the written concurrence of Requisite Class Lenders of each Class that is being allocated a lesser amount of any such prepayment as a result thereof, provided that Requisite Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any mandatory prepayment and Requisite Lenders (in addition to each Lender that thereby increases its Commitment) may increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments, in each case so long as the application, as between Classes, of any portion of such prepayment which is still required to be made is not altered, and (b) any provision of subsection 2.10 that disproportionately disadvantages any Class relative to any other Class shall be effective without the written concurrence of Requisite Class Lenders of such disproportionately disadvantaged Class.

B.            If Company receives a statement of amounts due pursuant to subsections 2.6B, 2.6C, 2.7A, 2.7B or 2.7C from a Lender or a Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) refuses to consent to an amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement that, pursuant to subsection 10.7A, requires consent of 100% of the Lenders or 100% of the Lenders with Obligations directly affected (any such Lender, a “Subject Lender”), so long as (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Company has obtained a

173




commitment from another Lender or an Eligible Assignee to purchase at par the Subject Lender’s Loans and assume the Subject Lender’s Commitments and all other obligations of the Subject Lender hereunder, (ii) such Lender is not an Issuing Lender with respect to any Letters of Credit outstanding (unless all such Letters of Credit are terminated or arrangements acceptable to such Issuing Lender (such as a “back-to-back” letter of credit) are made) and Company may require the Subject Lender to assign all of its Loans and Commitments to such other Lender, Lenders, Eligible Assignee or Eligible Assignees pursuant to the provisions of subsection 10.1B; provided that, prior to or concurrently with such replacement, (1) the Subject Lender shall have received payment in full of all principal, interest, fees and other amounts (including all amounts under subsections 2.6D, 2.7 and/or 2.8B (if applicable)) through such date of replacement and a release from its obligations under the Loan Documents, (2) the processing fee required to be paid by subsection 10.1B(i) shall have been paid to Administrative Agent, (3) all of the requirements for such assignment contained in subsection 10.1B, including, without limitation, the consent of Administrative Agent (if required) and the receipt by Administrative Agent of an executed Assignment Agreement  executed by the assignee (Administrative Agent being hereby authorized to execute any Assignment Agreement on behalf of a Subject Lender relating to the assignment of Loans and/or Commitments of such subject Lender to effectuate any assignment consistent with the terms of this subsection 10.7B) and other supporting documents, have been fulfilled, and (4) in the event such Subject Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each assignee shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Subject Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender and Company also requires each other Subject Lender that is a Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and Commitments. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender solely because it refused to consent to an amendment, modification or waiver that required the consent of 100% of Lenders with Obligations directly affected thereby (which amendment, modification or waiver did not accordingly require the consent of 100% of all Lenders), the Loans and Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lender that are subject to the assignments required by this subsection 10.7B shall include only those Loans and Commitments that constitute the Obligations directly affected by the amendment, modification or waiver to which such Non-Consenting Lender refused to provide its consent.

C.            Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of that Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on Company or any Borrower in any case shall entitle Company or any Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this subsection 10.7 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by Company or any Borrower, on such Company and such Borrower.

10.8        Independence of Covenants

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

174




10.9        Change in Accounting Principles, Fiscal Year or Tax Laws

If (i) any changes in accounting principles and policies from those used in the preparation of the financial statements referred to in subsection 4.3 hereafter occasioned by the promulgation of rules, regulations, pronouncements and opinions by or required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (or successors thereto or agencies with similar functions) would result in a change in the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms found in Section 1, Section 5 and Section 6 hereof, (ii) there is any change in Company’s or Holdings’ Fiscal Quarter or Fiscal Year, or (iii) there is a material change in federal tax laws which materially affects Company’s ability to comply with the financial covenants, standards or terms found in Section 1, Section 5 and Section 6 hereof, the parties hereto agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions (in accordance with subsection 10.7) so as to equitably reflect such changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating Company’s financial condition shall be the same after such changes as if such changes had not been made.

10.10      Notices

A.            Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served, facsimiled or sent by United States mail or by courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service, by receipt of facsimile or when received through the United States mail, registered or certified, with postage prepaid and properly addressed; provided that notices to Administrative Agent or any Borrower shall not be effective until received.

Administrative Agent or Borrowers may, in their discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

C.            Unless Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is sent after 5:00 p.m. (New York time), such notice or

175




communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

10.12      Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative

No failure or delay on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents are cumulative to and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

10.13      Severability

In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

10.14      Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights

The obligation of each Lender hereunder is several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligation or commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute Lenders to be a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall, subject to Section 7, be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

176
