Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from Ryder pursuant to Section 2.03(f), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable L/C Issuer or, to the extent that the Domestic Lenders have made payments pursuant to this Section 2.03(e) to reimburse such L/C Issuer, then to such Domestic Lenders and such L/C Issuer as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Domestic Lender pursuant to this Section 2.03(e) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any L/C Disbursement (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any Domestic Revolving Loan made by a Domestic Lender pursuant to the first proviso set forth in Section 2.03(f)) shall not constitute a Domestic Revolving Loan and, in any event, shall not relieve Ryder of its obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement.
(iii)If any Domestic Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Domestic Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(e), then,
53





without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Domestic Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the applicable Overnight Rate and a rate determined by such L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Domestic Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(e)(iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(f)Reimbursement. If any L/C Issuer shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, Ryder shall reimburse such L/C Issuer in respect of such L/C Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than 1:00 p/m/ on (i) the Business Day that Ryder receives notice of such L/C Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 11:00 a.m., or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that Ryder receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time; provided, that, Ryder may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein (without regard to the notice requirement, minimum principal amount and multiples specified in Section 2.02), request in accordance with Section 2.02 that such payment be financed with a Domestic Revolving Borrowing of Domestic Base Rate Loans in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, Ryder’s obligation to make such payment shall be deemed to have been satisfied and replaced by the resulting Domestic Revolving Borrowing of Domestic Base Rate Loans. If Ryder fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Domestic Lender of the applicable L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from Ryder in respect thereof (the “Unreimbursed Amount”) and such Domestic Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof (each such notice, a “Non-Reimbursement Notice”). Promptly upon receipt of any Non-Reimbursement Notice, each Domestic Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount pursuant to Section 2.03(e)(ii), subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Domestic Commitments. Any notice given by the applicable L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(f) may be given by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing; provided, that, the lack of such a prompt confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
(g)Obligations Absolute. Ryder’s obligation to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in Section 2.03(f) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of:
(i)any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Letter of Credit, or any term or provision herein or therein;
(ii)the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that Ryder or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
(iii)any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement in such draft or other document being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(iv)honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit required that demand be in the form of a draft;
54





(v)payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply strictly with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by any L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;
(vi)any adverse change in the relevant currency markets generally; or
(vii)any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.03, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, Ryder’s obligations hereunder.
(h)Examination. Ryder shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with Ryder’s instructions or other irregularity, Ryder will immediately notify the applicable L/C Issuer. Ryder shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against each L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(i)Liability. None of the Administrative Agent, any Domestic Lender, any L/C Issuer, or any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit by the applicable L/C Issuer or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in Section 2.03(g)), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms, any error in translation or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable L/C Issuer; provided, that, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any L/C Issuer from liability to Ryder to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages) suffered by Ryder that are caused by the such L/C Issuer’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof or such L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any L/C Issuer (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such L/C Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination, and that: (i) such L/C Issuer may replace a purportedly lost, stolen, or destroyed original Letter of Credit or missing amendment thereto with a certified true copy marked as such or waive a requirement for its presentation; (ii) such L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit and without regard to any non-documentary condition in such Letter of Credit; (iii) such L/C Issuer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and (iv) this sentence shall establish the standard of care to be exercised by such L/C Issuer when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof (and the parties hereto hereby waive, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, any standard of care inconsistent with the foregoing).
Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Administrative Agent, any Domestic Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of (A) any presentation that includes forged or fraudulent documents or that is otherwise affected by the fraudulent, bad faith, or illegal conduct of the beneficiary or other Person, (B) any L/C Issuer declining to take-up documents and make payment (1) against
55





documents that are fraudulent, forged, or for other reasons by which that it is entitled not to honor, or (2) following Ryder’s waiver of discrepancies with respect to such documents or request for honor of such documents, or (C) any L/C Issuer retaining proceeds of a Letter of Credit based on an apparently applicable attachment order, blocking regulation, or third-party claim notified to such L/C Issuer.
(j)Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and Ryder, when a Letter of Credit is issued by it (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.
(k)Benefits. Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Domestic Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer.
(l)Letter of Credit Fees. Ryder shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Domestic Lender in accordance, subject to Section 2.17, with its Applicable Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first (1st) Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Maturity Date and thereafter on demand, and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Domestic Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.
(m)Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers. Ryder shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit at the rate per annum equal to the percentage separately agreed upon between Ryder and such L/C Issuer, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the first (1st) Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Maturity Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. In addition, Ryder shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.
(n)Disbursement Procedures. The applicable L/C Issuer shall, within the time allowed by applicable Laws or the specific terms of the Letter of Credit following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. The applicable L/C Issuer shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and Ryder in writing of such demand for payment if such L/C Issuer has made or will make a L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided, that, any failure to give or delay in
56





giving such notice shall not relieve Ryder of its obligation to reimburse such L/C Issuer and the Domestic Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement.
(o)Interim Interest. If any L/C Issuer shall make any L/C Disbursement, then, unless Ryder shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such L/C Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that Ryder reimburses such L/C Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Domestic Base Rate Loans; provided, that, if Ryder fails to reimburse such L/C Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 2.03(f), then Section 2.08(b) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.03(o) shall be for account of the applicable L/C Issuer, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Domestic Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(f) to reimburse such L/C Issuer shall be for account of such Domestic Lender to the extent of such payment.
(p)Replacement of any L/C Issuer. Any L/C Issuer may be replaced at any time by written agreement among Ryder, the Administrative Agent, the replaced L/C Issuer, and the successor L/C Issuer. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Domestic Lenders of any such replacement of any L/C Issuer. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, Ryder shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced L/C Issuer. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor L/C Issuer shall have all the rights and obligations of a L/C Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter, and (ii) references herein to the term “L/C Issuer” shall be deemed to include such successor or any previous L/C Issuer, or such successor and all previous L/C Issuers, as the context shall require. After the replacement of any L/C Issuer hereunder, the replaced L/C Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a L/C Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. Schedule 2.03 shall be deemed to be automatically updated to reflect the L/C Commitment of any Person that becomes a L/C Issuer after the Closing Date pursuant to this Section 2.03(p).
(q)Cash Collateralization. Without limiting Section 2.03(d), on the Business Day that Ryder receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer if any L/C Obligations remain outstanding after the expiration date specified in Section 2.03(d), Ryder shall immediately deposit into an account established and maintained on the books and records of the Administrative Agent an amount in cash equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount as collateral for such L/C Obligations.
Cash Collateral deposited pursuant to this Section 2.03(q) shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for L/C Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, together with related fees, costs, and customary processing charges, and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of Ryder for the L/C Obligations at such time or, if the maturity of the Domestic Revolving Loans and Domestic Swing Line Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Domestic Lenders with L/C Obligations representing at least fifty percent (50%) of the total L/C Obligations), be applied to satisfy other obligations of Ryder under this Agreement.
(r)Letters of Credit Issued for Domestic Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Domestic Subsidiary, Ryder shall be obligated to reimburse, indemnify and compensate the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit as if such Letter of Credit had been issues solely for the account of Ryder. Ryder irrevocably waives any and all defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of such Domestic Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit. Ryder hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Domestic Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of Ryder, and that Ryder’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Domestic Subsidiaries.
57





(s)L/C Issuer Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section 2.03, provide the Administrative Agent a Letter of Credit Report, as set forth below:
(i)reasonably prior to the time that such L/C Issuer issues, amends, renews, increases or extends a Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal, increase or extension and the stated amount of the applicable Letters of Credit after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed);
(ii)on each Business Day on which such L/C Issuer makes a payment pursuant to a Letter of Credit, the date and amount of such payment;
(iii)on any Business Day on which Ryder fails to reimburse a payment made pursuant to a Letter of Credit required to be reimbursed to such L/C Issuer on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such payment;
(iv)on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer; and
(v)
