ARTICLE II
THE CREDITS
          SECTION 2.01. Credit Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, (i) each Term B-1 Lender severally agrees to make a Term B-1 Loan in Dollars to the Borrower on the Amendment Effective Date in a principal amount not exceeding its Term B-1 Commitment (it being understood that Term B-1 Lenders under the Original Credit Agreement that execute and deliver the Amendment Agreement are converting their Term B Loans under the Original Credit Agreement into Term B-1 Loans hereunder) and (ii) each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Loans in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period. Each Extending Term Lender that executes and delivers Amendment No. 3 agrees that they are converting their Term B-1 Loans into Term B-2 Loans hereunder. Subject to Section 2.21(a)(ii), on the effective date of the applicable Add-On Term Loan Lender Joinder Agreement, each Add-On Term Loan Lender severally agrees to make its portion of a term loan (the “Add-On Term Loan”) in a single advance to the Borrower in the amount of its respective Add-On Term Loan Commitment as set forth in the Add-On Term Loan Lender Joinder Agreement. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of Term B-1 Loans, the Term B-2

 


 

Loans or the Add-On Term Loans may not be reborrowed. During the Revolving Credit Commitment Period the Borrower may use the Revolving Credit Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event may Revolving Loans be borrowed under this Article II if, after giving effect thereto (and to any concurrent repayment or prepayment of Loans), (i) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect or (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Revolving Lender would exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment.
          (b) The Revolving Loans, Term B-1 Loans, Term B-2 Loans and Add-On Term Loans may from time to time be (i) Eurodollar Loans, (ii) ABR Loans or (iii) a combination thereof, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.02 and 2.03.
          (c) Each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.
          SECTION 2.02. Procedure for Borrowing. (a) The Borrower may borrow under the Revolving Credit Commitments (subject to the limitations in Section 2.01(a)) and the Borrower may borrow the Term B-1 Commitments by giving the Administrative Agent notice substantially in the form of Exhibit B (a “Borrowing Request”), which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to (a) 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, or (b) 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of an ABR Borrowing. The Borrowing Request from the Borrower for each Borrowing shall specify (i) whether the requested Borrowing is to be a Revolving Credit Borrowing or a Term B-1 Borrowing, (ii) the amount to be borrowed, (iii) the requested Borrowing Date (which must be the Amendment Effective Date, in the case of a Term B-1 Borrowing), (iv) whether the Borrowing is to be of Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, (v) if the Borrowing is to be of Eurodollar Loans, the length of the initial Interest Period therefor, and (vi) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of this Agreement. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Borrowings on the Original Effective Date shall be ABR Loans.
          (b) Each Borrowing shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of (i) in the case of a Term B-1 Borrowing, $5.0 million or an integral multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof or (ii) in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing, $1.0 million or an integral multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof or, if less, the aggregate amount of the then Available Revolving Credit Commitments.
          (c) Upon receipt of the Term B-1 Borrowing Request, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Term B-1 Lender of the aggregate amount of the Term B-1 Borrowing and of the amount of such Term B-1 Lender’s pro rata portion thereof, which shall be based on their respective Term B-1 Commitments. Each Term B-1 Lender will make the amount of its pro rata portion of the Term B-1 Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the New York office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 10.01 prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Original Effective Date in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Amounts so

 


 

received by the Administrative Agent will promptly be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Term B-1 Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.
          (d) Upon receipt of a Revolving Credit Borrowing Request, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Borrowing and of the amount of such Revolving Lender’s pro rata portion thereof, which shall be based on the respective Available Revolving Credit Commitments of all the Revolving Lenders. Each Revolving Lender will make the amount of its pro rata portion of each such Revolving Credit Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the New York office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 10.01 prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Amounts so received by the Administrative Agent will promptly be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Revolving Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent; provided that if on the Borrowing Date of any Revolving Loans to be made to the Borrower, any Swingline Loans made to the Borrower or LC Disbursements for the account of the Borrower shall be then outstanding, the proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall first be applied to pay in full such Swingline Loans or LC Disbursements, with any remaining proceeds to be made available to the Borrower as provided above; and provided further that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank.
          SECTION 2.03. Conversion and Continuation Options for Loans. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert (i) Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans, by giving the Administrative Agent prior notice of such election not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day prior to a requested conversion or (ii) ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior notice of such election not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to a requested conversion; provided that if any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans is made other than on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.17 as a result of such conversion. Any such notice of conversion to Eurodollar Loans shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. All of any part of the outstanding Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans may be converted as provided herein; provided that (i) no Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) no Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan after the date that is one month prior to the applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Term B-1 Loan Maturity Date, the Term B-2 Loan Maturity Date or the Add-On Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable.
          (b) Any Eurodollar Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving prior notice to the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to a requested continuation setting forth the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans; provided that no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such (i) when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and continuing and (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Term B-1 Loan Maturity Date, the Term B-2 Loan Maturity Date or the Add-On Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable; and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this Section 2.03 or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, then such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of

 


 

such then expiring Interest Period (in which case the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of such conversion).
          (c) In connection with any Eurodollar Loans, there shall be no more than eight Interest Periods outstanding at any time.
          (d) This Section shall not apply to Swingline Loans.
          SECTION 2.04. Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion and in reliance upon the commitments of the other Lenders set forth herein, make swingline loans (individually, a “Swingline Loan” and collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.04, provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans shall not exceed $40.0 million (the “Swingline Sublimit”) at any one time outstanding, (ii) the principal amount of any borrowing of any Swingline Loans may not exceed the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitments of all Revolving Lenders immediately prior to such borrowing or result in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure then outstanding exceeding the Total Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, and (iii) in no event may Swingline Loans be borrowed hereunder if (A)(x) a Default or Event of Default or Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing and (y) such Default or Event of Default or Event of Termination shall not have been subsequently cured or waived. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.04 may be repaid and, up to but excluding September 30, 2014, reborrowed. All Swingline Loans shall at all times be ABR Loans. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice of any Swingline Loan requested hereunder (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date) specifying (A) the amount to be borrowed, and (B) the requested Borrowing Date. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Swingline Lender of the aggregate amount of such borrowing. Not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in such notice the Swingline Lender shall make such Swingline Loan available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent set forth in Section 10.01 in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Amounts so received by the Administrative Agent will promptly be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the amount made available to the Administrative Agent by the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank) and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. Each Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be in a minimum principal amount of $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.
          (b) Notwithstanding the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or Event of Termination or noncompliance with the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV or the minimum borrowing amounts specified in Section 2.02, if any Swingline Loan shall remain outstanding at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the fifth Business Day following the Borrowing Date thereof and if by such time on such fifth Business Day the Administrative Agent shall have received neither (i) a notice of borrowing delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02 requesting that Revolving Loans be made pursuant to Section 2.01 on the immediately succeeding Business Day in an amount at least equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Swingline Loan, nor (ii) any other notice reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent indicating the Borrower’s intent to repay such Swingline Loan on the immediately succeeding Business Day with funds obtained from other sources, the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have received a notice from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02 requesting that ABR Revolving Loans be made pursuant to Section 2.01 on such immediately succeeding Business Day in an amount equal to the amount of such Swingline Loan, and the procedures set forth in Section 2.02

 


 

shall be followed in making such ABR Revolving Loans; provided that for the purposes of determining each Lender’s Commitment Percentage with respect to such Borrowing, the Swingline Loan to be repaid with the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be deemed to not be outstanding. The proceeds of such ABR Revolving Loans shall be applied to repay such Swingline Loan.
          (c) If, for any reason, ABR Revolving Loans may not be, or are not, made pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.04 to repay any Swingline Loan as required by such paragraph, effective on the date such ABR Revolving Loans would otherwise have been made, each Revolving Lender severally, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that it shall, without regard to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, purchase a participating interest in such Swingline Loan (“Unrefunded Swingline Loan”) in an amount equal to the amount of the ABR Revolving Loan which would otherwise have been made pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.04. Each Revolving Lender will immediately transfer to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation, and the proceeds of such participations shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender. All payments by the Revolving Lenders in respect of Unrefunded Swingline Loans and participations therein shall be made in accordance with Section 2.13.
          (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender shall not have any obligation to acquire a participation in a Swingline Loan pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs if a Default or Event of Default or Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing at the time such Swingline Loan was made and such Lender shall have notified the Swingline Lender in writing prior to the time such Swingline Loan was made, that such Default or Event of Default or such Event of Termination has occurred and that such Lender will not acquire participations in Swingline Loans made while such Default or Event of Default or such Event of Termination is continuing.

Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Loans (other than Swingline Loans) shall be (a) in the case of any Term Loan, in an aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million or a whole multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof and (b) in the case of Revolving Credit Borrowings, in an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 million or a whole multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof (or in each case, if less, the remaining outstanding principal amount thereof).

          (ii) If the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive proceeds from insurance or condemnation recoveries in respect of any Destruction or any proceeds or awards in respect of any Taking, 100% of the Net Proceeds thereof shall be applied immediately after receipt thereof toward the prepayment of the Term Loans on a pro rata basis or a prepayment of Revolving Loans as set forth in Section 2.05(e) below; provided that (x) such Net Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied to the extent that the Borrower has delivered an officers’ certificate to the Administrative Agent promptly following the receipt of such Net Proceeds stating that such proceeds shall be used to (1) repair, replace or restore any Property in respect of which such Net Proceeds were paid or (2) fund the substitution of other Property used or usable in the business of the Borrower or the Subsidiaries, in each case within one year following the date of the receipt of such Net Proceeds, and (y) if all or any portion of such Net Proceeds not so applied as provided herein is not so used within one year after the date of the receipt of such Net Proceeds, such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as specified in this Section 2.05(c)(ii); provided, further, if the Property subject to such Destruction or Taking constituted Collateral under the Security Documents, then any replacement or substitution Property purchased with the Net Proceeds thereof pursuant to this subsection shall be mortgaged or pledged, as the case may be, to the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and for the benefit of the other Secured Parties in accordance with Section 5.11.
          (iii) If the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries shall incur or permit the incurrence of any Indebtedness (including pursuant to debt securities which are convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, any Equity Interest or Equity Rights) (other than Excluded Debt Issuances) (each, a “Debt Incurrence”), 100% of the Net Proceeds thereof shall be applied within two Business Days after receipt thereof toward the prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.05(e).

Term B-2 Loans
          (iv) To the extent not previously paid, all Term B-2 Loans shall be due and payable on the Term B-2 Loan Maturity Date.
          (v) Any Add-On Term Loans shall be due and payable in installments on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the applicable Add-On Term Loan Lender Joinder Agreement.
          (e) (i) Mandatory prepayments of Loans made pursuant Section 2.05(c)(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) will be applied to the then outstanding Term Loans on a pro rata basis to reduce the applicable scheduled repayments with respect thereto required under Section 2.05(d) on a pro rata basis among the remaining scheduled repayments of the Term B-1 Loans, the Term B-2 Loans and the Add-On Term Loan. Mandatory prepayments of Term B-1 Loans made pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(v) will be applied to the then outstanding Term B-1 Loans to reduce the scheduled repayments with respect thereto under Section 2.05(d) on a pro rata basis.
          (ii) After all the then outstanding amounts under the Term Loans have been paid in full, mandatory prepayments of Loans required by Section 2.05(c) shall be applied to repay the outstanding Revolving Loans, which prepayment shall also result in the Revolving Credit Commitments being reduced ratably among the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Revolving Credit Commitments (provided that if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans then outstanding is less than the amount of such excess (because Letters of Credit constitute a portion thereof), the Borrower shall, to the extent of the balance of such excess, replace outstanding Letters of Credit and/or deposit an amount in cash in a cash collateral account established with the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent).
          (iii) Optional prepayments of Loans shall be applied as elected by the Borrower; provided that optional prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied ratably to the Term Loans to the remaining scheduled amortization payments of the Term B-1 Loans, the Term B-2 Loans and the Add-On Term Loans on a pro rata basis.
          (f) If on any day on which Loans would otherwise be required to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.05, but for the operation of this Section 2.05(f) (each a “Prepayment Date”), the amount of such required prepayment exceeds the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of ABR Loans which are of the Class required to be prepaid, and no Default or Event of Default exists or is continuing, then on such Prepayment Date, (i) the Borrower shall deposit funds into the Collateral Account in an amount equal to such excess, and only the outstanding ABR Loans which are of the Class required to be prepaid shall be required to be prepaid on such Prepayment Date, and (ii) on the last day of each Interest Period ending on or after such Prepayment Date in effect with respect to a Eurodollar Loan which is of the Class required to be prepaid, the Administrative Agent is irrevocably authorized and directed to apply funds from the Collateral Account (and liquidate investments held in the Collateral

 


 

          Account as necessary) to prepay such Eurodollar Loans for which the Interest Period is then ending to the extent funds are available in the Collateral Account.
          SECTION 2.06. Letters of Credit.
          (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time on the Original Effective Date or during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
          (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $50.0 million and (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. With respect to any Letter of Credit which contains any “evergreen” automatic renewal provision, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have consented to any such extension or renewal provided that all of the requirements of this Section 2.06 are met and no Default or Event of Default exists at the time such Letter of Credit is issued, extended or renewed. The Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of cash collateral, satisfactory to the Issuing Bank with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Disbursements as to which the Issuing Bank has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
          (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in

 


 

the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) September 25, 2014.
          (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. It is understood and agreed that with respect to any Letters of Credit having an expiry date later than June 23, 2012, only the Extending Revolving Lenders shall have a participation interest in such Letters of Credit (each such participation interest to be based on such Extending Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage of only those aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments with a Revolving Credit Maturity Date of September 30, 2014).
          (e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received written notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such written notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such written notice, if such written notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such written notice, if such written notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.02 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Commitment Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or

 


 

a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. It is understood and agreed that with respect to any LC Disbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit having an expiry date later than June 23, 2012, only the Extending Revolving Lenders shall have a reimbursement obligation with respect to such Letter of Credit (each such reimbursement obligation to be based on such Extending Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage of only those aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments with a Revolving Credit Maturity Date of September 30, 2014).
          (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.06 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 any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), 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 or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
          (g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
          (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC

 


 

Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.06, then Section 2.08(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.06 to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment
          (i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.10(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank 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.
          (j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in the Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (a) of Section 7.01 or any Event of Default described in clause (i) of Section 7.01. Furthermore, if any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, upon three (3) Business Days’ notice by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall deposit in the Collateral Account, for the sole benefit of such Issuing Bank, an amount in cash equal to each such Issuing Bank’s applicable Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender. Each such deposit shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the Borrower hereby grants the Collateral Agent a security interest in respect of each such deposit and the Collateral Account in which such deposits are held. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Collateral Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in the Collateral Account. Moneys deposited in the Collateral Account pursuant to this Section 2.06(j) shall be applied by the Collateral Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default or the existence of a Defaulting Lender, such amount together with interest income (if any) (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be

 


 

returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Defaults or Events of Default have been cured or waived or after the date on which such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, as applicable.
          SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a)(i) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Lenders in respect of Revolving Credit Borrowings, (A) on June 30, 2012 (or such earlier date as, and to the extent that, such Revolving Loan becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 2.05 or Article VII), the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan having a Revolving Credit Maturity Date of June 30, 2012 and that portion of each Swingline Loan outstanding participated in by a Non-Extending Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c) and (B) on September 30, 2014 (or such earlier date as, and to the extent that, such Revolving Loan becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 2.05 or Article VII), the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan having a Revolving Credit Maturity Date of September 30, 2014 and each Swingline Loan made to it by each such Lender, (ii) the Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay the Administrative Agent for the account of the Term B-1 Lenders on the Term B-1 Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date as, and to the extent that, such Term B-1 Loan becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 2.05 or Article VII), the unpaid principal amount of each Term B-1 Loan held by each such Term B-1 Lender, (iii) the Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay the Administrative Agent for the account of the Term B-2 Lenders on the Term B-2 Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date as, and to the extent that, such Term B-2 Loan becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 2.05 or Article VII), the unpaid principal amount of each Term B-2 Loan held by each such Term B-2 Lender and (iv) the Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay the Administrative Agent for the account of the Add-On Term Loan Lenders on the Add-On Term Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date as, and to the extent that, such Add-On Term Loan becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 2.05 or Article VII), the unpaid principal amount of each Add-On Term Loan held by each such Add-On Term Loan Lender,. The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest in immediately available funds at the applicable office of the Administrative Agent (as specified in Section 2.13(a)) on the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans, Term B-1 Loans, Term B-2 Loans and Add-On Term Loans, as applicable, made to it from time to time from the Original Effective Date until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.08. All payments required hereunder shall be made in Dollars.
          (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to the appropriate lending office of such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such lending office of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such lending office of such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.
          (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 10.04, and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount of each such Loan, the Class and Type of each such Loan and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder in respect of each such Loan and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower in respect of each such Loan and each Lender’s share thereof.
          (d) The entries made in the Register and accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 2.07 and the Notes maintained pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.07 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any

 


 

error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
          (e) The Loans of each Class made by each Lender to the Borrower shall, if requested by the applicable Lender (which request shall be made to the Administrative Agent), be evidenced by a single Note duly executed on behalf of the Borrower, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-1, G-2, G-3 or G-4, as applicable, with the blanks appropriately filled, payable to the order of such Lender.
          SECTION 2.08. Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to:
     (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Loan, (A) the LIBO Rate determined for such Interest Period, plus (B) the Applicable Rate; or
     (ii) in the case of a Eurodollar Term Loan, (A) the LIBO Rate determined for such Interest Period plus (B) the Applicable Rate.
          (b) Each ABR Loan (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, or over a year of 360 days when the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
          (c) If (A) all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan, (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) any Commitment Fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity thereof or by acceleration or otherwise) or (B) an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(i) shall be continuing, such overdue amount (in the case of clause (A)) and all Obligations (in the case of clause (B)) shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is (x) in the case of overdue principal (except as otherwise provided in clause (y) below), the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.08 plus 2.00% per annum or (y) in the case of any overdue interest, Commitment Fee or other amount, the rate described in Section 2.08(b) applicable to an ABR Revolving Loan plus 2.00% per annum, in each case from the date of such nonpayment (in the case of clause (A)) or such Event of Default (in the case of clause (B)) to (but excluding) the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment) (in the case of clause (A)) or such Event of Default is cured (in the case of clause (B)).
          (d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and on the Term B-1 Loan Maturity Date (in the case of Term B-1 Loans), the Term B-2 Loan Maturity Date (in the case of Term B-2 Loans), the Add-On Term Loan Maturity Date (in the case of Add-On Term Loans) and the applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date (in the case of Revolving Loans); provided, that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. Interest in respect of each Loan shall accrue from and including the first day of an Interest Period to but excluding the last day of such Interest Period.

 


 

          SECTION 2.09. Computation of Interest. Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.
          SECTION 2.10. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) to each Revolving Lender, for which payment will be made in arrears through the Administrative Agent on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December beginning after the Original Effective Date, and on the Commitment Fee Termination Date (as defined below). The Commitment Fee due to each Revolving Lender shall commence to accrue for a period commencing on the Original Effective Date (or, in the case of a Revolving Lender which becomes a Revolving Lender after the Original Effective Date, the date on which such Revolving Lender becomes a Revolving Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 10.04(b)) and shall cease to accrue on the date (the “Commitment Fee Termination Date”) that is the earlier of (i) the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving Lender shall be terminated as provided herein and (ii) the first date after the end of the Revolving Credit Commitment Period. The Commitment Fee accrued to each Revolving Lender shall equal the Commitment Fee Percentage multiplied by such Revolving Lender’s Commitment Fee Average Daily Amount (as defined below) for the applicable quarter (or shorter period commencing on the Original Effective Date (or, in the case of a Revolving Lender which becomes a Revolving Lender after the Original Effective Date, the date on which such Revolving Lender becomes a Revolving Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 10.04(b)) and ending with such Lender’s Commitment Fee Termination Date). A Revolving Lender’s “Commitment Fee Average Daily Amount” with respect to a calculation period shall equal the average daily amount during such period calculated using the daily amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment less such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure (excluding clause (c) of the definition thereof for purposes of determining the Commitment Fee Average Daily Amount only) for any applicable days during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.
          (b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate equal to the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Original Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.25% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Original Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees (collectively, “LC Fees”) accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each calendar year during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period shall be payable on the last Business Day of such March, June, September and December, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Original Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand therefor. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

 


 

          (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the administrative fee set forth in the Fee Letter (the “Agent Fees”).
          (d) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable.
          SECTION 2.11. Termination, Reduction or Adjustment of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, (i) the Term B-1 Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 pm., New York City time, on the Amendment Effective Date and (ii) the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date.
          (b) The Borrower shall have the right, upon one Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate or, from time to time, reduce the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any repayments of the Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure then outstanding would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect.
          (c) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Revolving Lenders, on each date of termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Commitment Fee on the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to the date of such termination or reduction.
          (d) To the extent any reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments reduces the then Available Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders to an amount equal to or less than the sum of (a) the Swingline Sublimit and (b) the maximum allowable L/C Exposure, then such reduction in Revolving Credit Commitments shall reduce on a pro rata basis the Swingline Commitment and the maximum amount of LC Exposure permitted by Section 2.06(b) by an amount such that the then Available Revolving Credit Commitments are equal to or less than the sum of (a) and (b).
          SECTION 2.12. Inability to Determine Interest Rate; Unavailability of Deposits; Inadequacy of Interest Rate. If prior to 11:00 a.m., London time, two Business Days before the first day of any Interest Period, including an initial Interest Period, for a requested Eurodollar Borrowing:
     (i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market generally, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Eurodollar Borrowing for such Interest Period, or
     (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a majority in interest of the Lenders of the applicable Class that the Adjusted LIBO Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period for such Eurodollar Borrowing will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,
then the Administrative Agent shall give facsimile or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and to the Lenders by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the same day. The Administrative Agent shall give facsimile or telephonic notice to the Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable after the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and until such notice has been given, any

 


 

affected Eurodollar Loans shall not be (x) converted or continued pursuant to Section 2.03 or (y) made pursuant to a Borrowing Request, and shall be continued or made as an ABR Loans, as the case may be.
          SECTION 2.13. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the amounts of such Revolving Lenders’ Commitment Percentages. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on Loans which are ABR Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such ABR Loans then held by the Lenders of the applicable Class, with adjustments, as necessary and appropriate, to reflect the different interest rates payable with respect to Revolving Loans depending on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date of such Revolving Loans and payment of principal to Non-Extending Lenders on the applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Subject to Section 2.05(f), each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on Loans which are Eurodollar Loans designated by the Borrower to be applied to a particular Eurodollar Borrowing shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Loans then held by the Lenders of the applicable Class, with adjustments, as necessary and appropriate, to reflect the different interest rates payable with respect to Revolving Loans depending on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date of such Revolving Loans and payment of principal to Non-Extending Lenders on their Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Subject to Section 2.05(f), each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on Swingline Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Swingline Loans or participating interests therein, as the case may be, then held by the relevant Lenders. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders of the applicable Class, at the Administrative Agent’s New York office specified in Section 10.01 in the currency in which the applicable obligation is denominated and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders entitled thereto in the same currency as received and promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension) unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.13(a) shall prohibit the Borrower from paying, on June 30, 2012, the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan having a Revolving Credit Maturity Date of June 30, 2012 in accordance with the terms of Section 2.07.
          (b) Subject to Section 2.12, unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a Borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.13(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such

 


 

Borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Revolving Loans hereunder, on demand, from the Borrower, but without prejudice to any right or claim that the Borrower may have against such Lender.
          (c) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder from the Borrower, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder from the Borrower, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due from the Borrower to such parties.
          SECTION 2.14. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be suspended until such time as the making or maintaining of Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be unlawful, and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law.
          SECTION 2.15. Requirements of Law. (a) If at any time any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that the introduction after the Original Effective Date of, or any change after the Original Effective Date in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in determining the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the compliance by such Lender or the Issuing Bank with any guideline, request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall have the effect of increasing the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank for agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Loans or participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit, then the Borrower shall from time to time, within five Business Days of demand therefor by such Lender or the Issuing Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or the Issuing Bank additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank for such increased cost. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing of the occurrence of any such event, such notice to state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such increased cost or reduced amount. Such additional amounts shall be payable directly to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, within five Business Days of the Borrower’s receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower.
          (b) If any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other Governmental Authority in each case after the Original Effective Date affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to

 


 

be maintained by any Lender or the Issuing Bank (or a holding company controlling such Lender or the Issuing Bank) and such Lender or the Issuing Bank determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its capital (or the capital of its holding company, as the case may be) as a consequence of its Revolving Credit Commitment or the Loans made by it or its participations in Swingline Loans or any issuance, participation or maintenance of Letters of Credit is reduced to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank (or its holding company) could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case upon notice from time to time by such Lender or the Issuing Bank to the Borrower, the Borrower shall immediately pay directly to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank (or its holding company) for such reduction in rate of return. A statement of such Lender or the Issuing Bank as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower. In determining such amount, such Lender or the Issuing Bank may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole and absolute discretion) shall deem applicable.
          (c) In the event that the Issuing Bank or any Lender determines that any event or circumstance that will lead to a claim under this Section 2.15 has occurred or will occur, the Issuing Bank or such Lender will use its best efforts to so notify the Borrower; provided that, subject to the next succeeding sentence, any failure to provide such notice shall in no way impair the rights of the Issuing Bank or such Lender to demand and receive compensation under this Section 2.15, but without prejudice to any claims of the Borrower for compensation for actual damages sustained as a result of any failure to observe this undertaking. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the event or circumstances giving rise to a right of claim pursuant to this Section 2.15 and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the event or circumstances giving rise to such right of claim is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
          SECTION 2.16. Taxes. (a) All payments by the Loan Parties of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other amounts (including fees) payable hereunder shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any and all present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, assessments, deductions, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority on the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender (or any assignee of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, or a Participant or a change in designation of the lending office of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be (a “Transferee”)), including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto (“Taxes”), except as required by applicable law. If any Indemnified Taxes are required to be withheld by applicable law, rule or regulation from any payment by a Loan Party, such Loan Party shall withhold and remit such Taxes in accordance with such requirement. In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by a Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Documents is required in respect of any Indemnified Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation then such Loan Party will:
     (i) timely pay directly to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;
     (ii) promptly forward to the Administrative Agent an official receipt or other documentation (or copy thereof) reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and

 


 

     (iii) pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank or Transferees, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as are necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender or the Issuing Bank or Transferees, as the case may be, will equal the full amount such Lender or the Issuing Bank or Transferees, as the case may be, would have received had no such withholding or deduction (including any withholding or deduction applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.16) been required.
For purposes hereof, “Indemnified Taxes” shall mean all Taxes other than Taxes imposed on or measured by the recipient’s net income or taxable capital by a jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or Transferee is organized or incorporated or in which its principal executive office or applicable lending office is located or in which it conducts a trade or business or has a permanent establishment (other than a trade, business or permanent establishment deemed to arise by virtue of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) or is otherwise subject to such Taxes without regard to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (provided, however, in the case of a Lender or a Transferee that is an affiliate of a Lender and that is a United States person within the meaning of section 7701(a)(30) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and that makes and holds its Loans through a lending office located in the United States (such Lender and any such Transferee referred to herein as a “U.S. Taxpayer Lender”), Indemnified Taxes shall include any Taxes imposed on or measured by the recipient’s net income or taxable capital by any jurisdiction other than the United States or a State or any political subdivision of the United States or a State (as the terms “United States” and “State” are defined in sections 7701(a)(9) and 7701(a)(10) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) to which such U.S. Taxpayer Lender would not have been subject but for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (an “Indemnified Foreign Tax”)).
          (b) The Loan Parties agree to timely pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including interest, fines and penalties in addition to tax) arising from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (“Other Taxes”).
          (c) If any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are directly asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender or Transferee with respect to any payment received by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender or Transferee hereunder or under any other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender or Transferee may pay such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and the applicable Loan Party will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as shall be necessary in order that the net amount received by such Person after the payment of such Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes on such additional amount) or Other Taxes shall equal the amount such Person would have received had such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes not been asserted. In addition, the Borrower shall also reimburse each Lender or Transferee or the Issuing Bank, upon the written request of such Lender or Transferee or the Issuing Bank, for net additional taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of such Person pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Person is organized or incorporated, or a jurisdiction in which the principal executive office or lending office of such Person is located or in which such Person conducts a trade or business or has a permanent establishment, or under the laws of any political subdivision or taxing authority of any such jurisdiction, as such Person shall determine are or were payable by such Person, in respect of amounts payable to such Person pursuant to this Section 2.16 in respect of Indemnified Taxes imposed as a consequence of payments by the Borrower, taking into account the amount of Indemnified Taxes (x) that are allowed as a deduction in determining taxes imposed on or measured by the net income or allowed as a credit against any taxes imposed on or

 


 

measured by net income and (y) in respect of which an amount is payable to such Person pursuant to this Section 2.16.
          (d) If the Borrower fails to pay any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, the respective Lenders or Transferees, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Issuing Bank, Lenders and Transferees for any incremental Indemnified Taxes, Taxes, Other Taxes, interest, penalties or other costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) that may become payable by the Issuing Bank, any Lender or Transferee as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section 2.16, a distribution hereunder by the Administrative Agent to or for the account of the Issuing Bank, any Lender or Transferee shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower.
          (e) Each Lender or Transferee that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any state or political subdivision thereof shall, on or prior to the Original Effective Date (in the case of each Lender that is a party hereto on the Original Effective Date) or on or prior to the date of any assignment, participation or change in the designated lending office hereunder (in the case of a Transferee), execute and deliver, if legally able to do so, to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (i) one or more (as the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request) accurate and complete original signed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI or W-8BEN or such other forms or documents (or successor forms or documents), appropriately completed, as may be applicable to establish the extent, if any, to which a payment to such Lender or Transferee is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of withholding or deduction of Taxes or (ii) if the Lender or Transferee is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit P (any such certificate, a “Section 2.16 Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s or Transferor’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Note. In addition, each Lender and Transferee agrees that from time to time after the Original Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change in the Lender’s or Transferee’s circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it will, to the extent legally able to do so, deliver to the Borrower or the Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 2.16 Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under the Loan Documents.
          (f) No Borrower shall be required to indemnify or to pay any additional amounts to the Issuing Bank or any Lender or Transferee with respect to any Indemnified Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.16 to the extent that (i) any obligation of the Borrower to withhold, deduct or pay amounts with respect to such Indemnified Tax (other than a Tax imposed by Canada and other than an Indemnified Foreign Tax) existed under generally accepted interpretation and application of the law on the date the Issuing Bank or such Lender or Transferee, other than a U.S. Taxpayer Lender, became a party to this Agreement or otherwise becomes a Transferee, except to the extent that, at the time such Lender or Transferee becomes a party to this Agreement or otherwise becomes a Transferee, such Person’s assignor was already entitled to receive indemnification or additional amounts from a Loan Party with respect to any such Indemnified Tax under the provisions hereunder; provided that this clause (i) shall not apply to any Tax imposed on a Lender or Transferee in connection with an interest or participation in any Loan or

 


 

other obligation that such Lender or Transferee was required to acquire pursuant to Section 2.19, (ii) to the extent such Indemnified Taxes are imposed solely because any Lender or Transferee fails to timely provide the forms or certificates required by the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph or (iii) in the case of a payment of a U.S. source fee (other than a fee treated as interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes) to a Lender or Transferee, other than a U.S. Taxpayer Lender, described in clause (ii) of Section 2.16(e), to the extent that such forms or certificates do not establish a complete exemption from U.S. withholding taxes with respect to such payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, it is understood and agreed, for the avoidance of doubt, that the obligation of the Loan Parties to indemnify for Indemnified Taxes withheld or deducted from any payment (including, without limitation, fees) to be made by the Loan Parties hereunder and to pay additional amounts under this Section 2.16 shall apply with respect to any and all Indemnified Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Issuing Bank and each Lender and Transferee with respect to any other Tax, as a result of, a change in law or regulation or a change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Person occurring after the time such Person becomes a party to this Agreement.
          (g) In the event that the Issuing Bank or any Lender determines that any event or circumstance that will lead to a claim by it under this Section 2.16 has occurred, the Issuing Bank or such Lender will use commercially reasonable efforts to so notify the Borrower; provided that any failure to provide such notice shall in no way impair the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Transferee to demand and receive compensation under this Section 2.16.
          (h) If the Borrower pays any additional amount under this Section 2.16 to a Lender and such Lender determines in its sole discretion that it has actually realized in connection therewith a refund or any reduction of, or credit against, its Tax liabilities (a “Tax Benefit”) such Lender shall pay to the Borrower an amount that the Lender shall, in its sole discretion, determine is equal to the after-tax net benefit obtained, if any, by the Lender as consequence of such Tax Benefit net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such Tax Benefit); provided, however, that (i) any Lender may determine, in its sole discretion consistent with the policies of such Lender, whether to seek a Tax Benefit; (ii) any Taxes that are imposed on a Lender as a result of a disallowance or reduction (including through the expiration of any tax credit carryover or carryback of such Lender that otherwise would not have expired) of any Tax Benefit with respect to which such Lender has made a payment to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16(h) shall be treated as Tax for which the Borrower is obligated to indemnify such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16; (iii) nothing in this Section 2.16(h) shall require the Lender to disclose any confidential information to any Loan Party (including, without limitation, its tax returns); and (iv) notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower the payment which would place such Lender in a less favorable net after-tax position than such Lender would have been in if the additional amounts giving rise to such Tax Benefits had never been paid.
          SECTION 2.17. Indemnity. In the event any Lender shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss (other than lost profit) or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to make, continue or maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Loan as, or to convert any portion of the principal amount of any Loan into, a Eurodollar Loan) as a result of any conversion of a Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Eurodollar Loan on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, whether pursuant to Section 2.03, 2.05, 2.07 2.14, 2.15 or 2.20 or otherwise, or any failure to borrow or convert any Eurodollar Loan after notice thereof shall have been given hereunder, whether by reason of any failure to satisfy a condition to such Borrowing or otherwise, then, upon the written notice of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower with respect to such Loan shall, within five Business Days of its

 


 

receipt thereof, pay directly to such Lender such amount as will (in the reasonable determination of such Lender) reimburse such Lender for such loss or expense. Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower.
          SECTION 2.18. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender (or Transferee) agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 with respect to such Lender (or Transferee), it will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender (or Transferee)) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its respective lending offices to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 2.18 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender (or Transferee) pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16.
          SECTION 2.19. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower (in each case to the extent permitted hereunder), or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loans or participations in LC Disbursements which at the time shall be due and payable as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements which at the time shall be due and payable shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of such Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in such Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Loans and participations in LC Disbursements held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all such Loans and participations in LC Disbursements as prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustments restored without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan or an LC Disbursement deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
          SECTION 2.20. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances. In the event that (a) any Lender shall have delivered a notice or certificate pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.15 or the Borrower shall be required to make additional payments to any Lender under Section 2.16 (each, an “Increased Cost Lender”), or (b) a Lender is a Defaulting Lender then, with respect to each such Increased Cost Lender or Defaulting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), the Borrower shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its own expense, upon notice to such Terminated Lender and the Administrative Agent, to replace such Terminated Lender with (x) another Lender or (y) an assignee (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), and such Terminated Lender hereby agrees to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to such other Lender or assignee; provided, however, that no Terminated Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment unless (i) such assignment shall not conflict with any law or any rule, regulation or order of

 


 

any Governmental Authority and (ii) the affected Terminated Lender shall have been paid in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by such Terminated Lender and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans held by such Terminated Lender and all commitment fees and other fees owed to such Terminated Lender hereunder and all other amounts accrued for such Terminated Lender’s account or owed to it hereunder (including, without limitation, any Commitment Fees).
          SECTION 2.21. Increase in Commitments.
          (a) Borrower Request. The Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to increase the existing Revolving Credit Commitment and/or institute an Add-On Term Loan by an amount not in excess of $250,000,000 in the aggregate as follows:
          (i) Increase in Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrower may from time to time at any time prior to September 30, 2014, upon prior written notice to the Administrative Agent request to increase the Revolving Credit Commitments. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an “Increase Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the increased Revolving Credit Commitment shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the identity of each Eligible Assignee to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such increased Revolving Credit Commitment be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the increased Revolving Credit Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such increased Revolving Credit Commitment.
     (A) Conditions. The increased Revolving Credit Commitment shall become effective, as of such Increase Effective Date; provided that:
     (I) each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 shall be satisfied;
     (II) any such increase shall be in a minimum principal amount of $25,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;
     (III) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the borrowings made on the Increase Effective Date, if any;
     (IV) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction; and

     (B) Terms of New Revolving Loans and Commitments. The terms and provisions of Revolving Loans made pursuant to increased Revolving Credit Commitments shall be identical to the Revolving Loans. The increased Revolving Credit Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Joinder”) executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making such increased Revolving Credit Commitment, in form and substance satisfactory to each of them. The Increase Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of

 


 

this Section 2.21. In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in Loan Documents to Revolving Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to Revolving Loans made pursuant to increased Revolving Credit Commitments made pursuant to this Agreement.
     (C) Adjustment of Revolving Loans. Each of the Revolving Lenders having a Revolving Commitment prior to such Increase Effective Date (the “Pre-Increase Revolving Lenders”) shall assign to any Revolving Lender which is acquiring a new or additional Revolving Commitment on the Increase Effective Date (the “Post-Increase Revolving Lenders”), and such Post-Increase Revolving Lenders shall purchase from each Pre-Increase Revolving Lender, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Loans and participation interests in LC Exposure and Swingline Loans outstanding on such Increase Effective Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans and participation interests in LC Exposure and Swingline Loans will be held by Pre-Increase Revolving Lenders and Post-Increase Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such increased Revolving Commitments.
     (D) Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Revolving Credit Commitment established pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute Revolving Credit Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents.

The Borrower may from time to time at any time prior to September 30, 2016, upon prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, institute one or more Add-On Term Loans. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (the “Add-On Term Loan Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Add-On Term Loan shall be advanced, which shall be a date not less than 20 days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in writing) and (ii) the identity of each Person to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such Add-On Term Loan be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the Add-On Term Loan may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Add-On Term Loan.

As contemplated above, some of the terms and provisions of Add-On Term Loan shall be effected by the applicable Add-On Term Loan Joinder Agreement executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making an Add-On Term Loan, in form and substance satisfactory to each of them. Such Add-On Term Loan Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21. In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in Loan Documents to Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to the Add-On Term Loans.

          SECTION 3.10. Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.10 to the Original Credit Agreement sets forth the name of, and the direct or indirect ownership interest of the Parent Guarantor and the Borrower in each of their respective Subsidiaries and identifies each Subsidiary that is a Loan Party, in each case as of the Original Effective Date and as of the Amendment Effective Date.
          SECTION 3.11. Ownership of Properties. (a) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title in fee simple to (or other similar title in jurisdictions outside the United States of America), or valid leasehold interests in, or easements or other limited property interests in, or is licensed to use, all its properties and assets (including all Mortgaged Properties), except for defects in the foregoing that do not materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties and assets for their intended purposes and except where the failure to do so in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All such properties and assets are free and clear of Liens, other than Permitted Liens.
          (b) As of the Original Effective Date, Schedule 3.11(b) to the Original Credit Agreement contains and will contain a true and complete list of each parcel of Real Property (i) owned in fee by any Loan Party as of the Original Effective Date and (ii) leased, subleased or otherwise occupied or utilized by any Loan Party, as lessee or otherwise, as of the Original Effective Date.
          (c) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has complied with all obligations under all leases and other Real Property Agreements (including, without limitation, the IRB Agreements) to which it is a party, except where the failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and all such leases and other Real Property Agreements are in full force and effect, except in respect of which the failure to be in full force and effect could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such leases, other than leases in respect of which the failure to enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession could not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
          (d) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns, possesses, is licensed or otherwise has the right to use, or could obtain ownership or possession of, all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and rights with respect thereto necessary for the present conduct of its business, except for those the failure to own, possess, license or use could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and without any known conflict or alleged conflict with the rights of others, except where such conflicts could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
          (e) As of the Original Effective Date, no Loan Party or any of its respective Subsidiaries has received any written notice of, or has any knowledge of, any pending or contemplated condemnation proceeding affecting any of the Mortgaged Properties or any sale or disposition thereof in lieu of condemnation that remains unresolved as of the Original Effective Date.
          (f) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.11(f) to the Original Credit Agreement, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is obligated on the Original Effective Date under any right of first refusal, option or other contractual right to sell, assign or otherwise dispose of any Mortgaged Property or any interest therein.
          SECTION 3.12. Taxes. Each of the Parent Guarantor, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has timely filed all federal, foreign and all other material tax returns and reports required by law to have been filed by it and has timely paid all taxes and governmental charges due (whether or not

 


 

shown on any tax return), except any such taxes or charges which are being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP shall have been set aside on its books; provided that any such contest of taxes or charges with respect to Collateral shall have the effect of preventing the forfeiture or sale of such Collateral. Each of the Parent Guarantor, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has made adequate provision in accordance with GAAP for all taxes not yet due and payable. Neither the Parent Guarantor, nor the Borrower, nor any of its Subsidiaries has ever been a party to any understanding or arrangement constituting a “tax shelter” within the meaning of Section 6662(d)(2)(C)(iii) of the Code or within the meaning of Section 6111(c) or Section 6111(d) of the Code as in effect immediately prior to the enactment of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, or has ever “participated” in a “reportable transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4, except as could not be reasonably expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect.
          SECTION 3.13. Pension and Welfare Plans. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.13 to the Original Credit Agreement, no ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or give rise to a Lien on the assets of any Loan Party or a Subsidiary. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their ERISA Affiliates are in compliance in all respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan except for failures to so comply which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.13 to the Original Credit Agreement, no condition exists or event or transaction has occurred with respect to any Plan which reasonably might result in the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate of any liability, fine or penalty which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.13 to the Original Credit Agreement, the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Pension Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Pension Plans by an amount that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if the Pension Plans were terminated. Using actuarial assumptions and computation methods consistent with subpart 1 of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of each Loan Party or ERISA Affiliate to all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each such Multiemployer Plan, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.13 to the Original Credit Agreement, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any contingent liability with respect to post-retirement benefits provided by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under a Welfare Plan, other than (i) liability for continuation coverage described in Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and (ii) liabilities that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
          Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (a) each Foreign Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities, and (b) neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Plan.
          SECTION 3.14. Environmental Warranties. (a) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.14(a) to the Original Credit Agreement, all facilities and property owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and all operations conducted thereon, are in compliance with all Environmental Laws, except for such noncompliance that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 


 

          (b) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.14(b) to the Original Credit Agreement, there are no pending or threatened (in writing):
     (i) Environmental Claims received by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or
     (ii) written claims, complaints, notices or inquiries received by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries regarding Environmental Liability,
in each case which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
          (c) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.14(c) to the Original Credit Agreement, there have been no Releases of Hazardous Materials at, on, under or from any property now or, to any Loan Party’s knowledge, previously owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, have had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
          (d) The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have been issued and are in compliance with all Environmental Permits necessary for their operations, facilities and businesses and each is in full force and effect, except for such Environmental Permits which, if not so obtained or as to which the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are not in compliance, or are not in effect, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
          (e) No property now or, to any Loan Party’s knowledge, previously owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is listed or proposed (with respect to owned property only) for listing on the CERCLIS or on any similar state list of sites requiring investigation or clean-up, or on the National Priorities List pursuant to CERCLA.
          (f) There are no underground storage tanks, active or abandoned, including petroleum storage tanks, surface impoundments or disposal areas, on or under any property now or, to any Loan Party’s knowledge, previously owned or leased by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which, singly or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
          (g) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has transported or arranged for the transportation of any Hazardous Material to any location which is listed or proposed for listing on the National Priorities List pursuant to CERCLA, on the CERCLIS or on any similar state list or which is the subject of federal, state or local enforcement actions or other investigations which would reasonably be expected to lead to any Environmental Claim against the Borrower or such Subsidiary.
          (h) No liens have been recorded pursuant to any Environmental Law with respect to any property or other assets currently owned or leased by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries.
          (i) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is currently conducting any Remedial Action pursuant to any Environmental Law, nor has any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries assumed by contract, agreement or operation of law any obligation under Environmental Law, the cost of which, singly or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
          (j) There are no polychlorinated biphenyls or asbestos or asbestos-containing material present at any property owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, which, singly or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 


 

          SECTION 3.15. Regulations T, U and X. The Loans, the use of the proceeds thereof, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in a violation of or be inconsistent with any provision of Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X.
          SECTION 3.16. Disclosure; Accuracy of Information; Pro Forma Balance Sheets and Projected Financial Statements. (a) Neither this Agreement nor any other document, certificate or statement, in each case concerning any Loan Party or the Acquired Business, furnished to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of any Loan Party in connection herewith contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein and therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances under which they were made; provided that to the extent this or any such document, certificate or statement was based upon or constitutes a forecast or projection, the Loan Parties represent only that they acted in good faith and utilized reasonable assumptions and due care in the preparation of such document, certificate or statement, it being understood that forecast and projections are subject to uncertainties and contingencies and no assurance can be given that any forecast or projection will be realized.
          (b) The pro forma consolidated balance sheets as of December 29, 2005 and March 30, 2006, prepared giving effect to the Amendment Transactions as if the Amendment Transactions had occurred on such date and furnished to the Lenders, (i) were prepared in good faith based on reasonable assumptions used to prepare the pro forma financial statements included in the Information Memorandum, (ii) accurately reflect all material adjustments necessary to give effect to the Amendment Transactions and (iii) present fairly the pro forma financial position of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of their respective dates, as if the Amendment Transactions had occurred on such date.
          (c) The pro forma consolidated income statement projections for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, pro forma consolidated balance sheet projections for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and pro forma consolidated cash flow projections for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, all for the Fiscal Years ending 2006 through 2013, inclusive, and on a quarterly basis through and including Fiscal Year 2006 and annually thereafter which were furnished to the Lenders (the “Projected Financial Statements”) and which give effect to the Amendment Transactions and all Indebtedness and Liens incurred or created in connection with the Amendment Transactions were prepared in good faith based on assumptions that are reasonable as of the date of such projections and as of the Original Effective Date and all material assumptions with respect to the Projected Financial Statements are set forth therein. The Projected Financial Statements present a good faith estimate of the consolidated financial information contained therein at the date thereof, it being recognized by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, however, that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by the projections will differ from the projected results and that the difference may be material.
          SECTION 3.17. Insurance. The properties of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries are insured with financially sound and reputable insurance companies in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and operating and owning properties in the same or similar locations, and as required to be maintained pursuant to the Security Documents. All such insurance (including the related insurance policies) is in full force and effect, all premiums with respect thereto that are due and payable have been duly paid and no Loan Party has received or is aware of any notice of violation or cancellation thereof and each Loan Party has complied in all material respects with the material requirements of each such policy.

 


 

          SECTION 3.18. Labor Matters. Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (for purposes of this representation being made on the Original Effective Date only, with references to the Loan Parties in such definition being deemed to be references to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole), (a) there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against the Loan Parties pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened; (b) the hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Loan Parties have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters; and (c) all payments due from the Loan Parties, or for which any claim may be made against the Loan Parties, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Loan Parties.

There are not, as of the Original Effective Date, any existing options, warrants, calls, subscriptions, convertible or exchangeable securities, rights, agreements, commitments or arrangements for any Person to acquire any common stock of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the right to subscribe for any such common stock, except as disclosed in the financial statements delivered pursuant to Sections 5.01(a) and (b) or otherwise disclosed to the Lenders prior to the Original Effective Date.

          In the event that any such proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the items described in clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 7.06, the Loan Parties shall remain liable, jointly and severally, for any deficiency.
          SECTION 7.07. Certain Cure Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.01, in the event that the Borrower fails to comply with any Financial Covenant contained in Section 6.13, the Parent Guarantor shall have the right, no later than 15 Business Days after the delivery of a Notice of Intent to Cure, to issue Permitted Cure Securities to any Equity Investors only for cash in an aggregate amount not in excess of the minimum amount necessary to cure the relevant failure to comply with such Financial Covenant, the net cash proceeds of which shall be contributed to the common equity capital of the Borrower (collectively, the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by the Borrower of such cash (the “Cure Amount”), provided such Cure Amount is used to repay Loans under Section 2.05(a) within two Business Days of the issuance of the Permitted Cure Securities with respect thereto, such Financial Covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments:
     (a) Consolidated EBITDA shall be increased, in accordance with the definition thereof, solely for the purpose of measuring such Financial Covenant and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount;
     (b) if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of such Financial Covenant, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such Financial Covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of such Financial Covenant which had occurred shall be deemed cured for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
     (c) to the extent that the Cure Amount proceeds are used to repay Indebtedness, such Indebtedness shall not be deemed to have been repaid for purposes of calculating the Financial Covenants for the Test Period with respect to which such Cure Right was exercised; and
     (d) to the extent a Fiscal Quarter ended for which such Financial Covenant is initially recalculated as a result of a Cure Right is included in the calculation of a Financial Covenant in a subsequent fiscal period, the Cure Amount shall be included in the amount of Consolidated EBITDA for such initial Fiscal Quarter;
provided that (x) the Cure Rights shall not be exercised more than once in any twelve (12) month period nor more than three times since the Original Effective Date and (y) the aggregate Cure Amount shall not exceed $100.0 million in the aggregate since the Original Effective Date.

 


 

ARTICLE VIII
THE AGENTS
          SECTION 8.01. The Agents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agents as the agents of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Lender that holds Term B-1 Loans or has Term B-1 Commitments and each Qualified Counterparty (in each case, in its capacity as such) hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Collateral Agent as an agent of such Person under this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which the Collateral Agent is a party. In addition, without hereby limiting any implied authority, each Lender hereby expressly authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into each Loan Document to which it is a party as its agent. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent. The Administrative Agent is hereby expressly authorized by the Lenders, without hereby limiting any implied authority, (a) to receive on behalf of the Lenders all payments of principal of and interest on the Loans, all payments and all other amounts due to the Lenders hereunder, and promptly to distribute to each Lender its proper share of each payment so received; (b) to give notice on behalf of each of the Lenders to the Borrower of any Default specified in this Agreement of which such Agent has actual knowledge acquired in connection with its agency hereunder; and (c) to distribute to each Lender copies of all notices, financial statements and other materials delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement as received by such Agent.
          None of the Agents nor any of their Related Parties shall be liable to the Lenders as such for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them except to the extent finally judicially determined to have resulted from its or his or her own gross negligence or willful misconduct, or be responsible for any statement, warranty or representation herein or the contents of any document delivered in connection herewith, or be required to ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements contained in any Loan Document. The Agents shall not be responsible to the Lenders for the due execution, genuineness, validity, enforceability or effectiveness of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or other instruments or agreements. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or refraining from acting, in accordance with written instructions signed by the Requisite Lenders (or, when expressly required hereby, all the Lenders) and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, such instructions and any action or inaction pursuant thereto shall be binding on all the Lenders. Each Agent shall, in the absence of actual knowledge to the contrary, be entitled to rely on any 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. None of the Agents nor any of their Related Parties shall have any responsibility to the Loan Parties on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any Lender of any of its obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any other Lender or the Loan Parties of any of their respective obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith. Each Agent may execute any and all duties hereunder by or through any of its Related Parties or any sub-agent appointed by it and shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel selected by it with respect to all matters

 


 

arising hereunder and shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel.
          The Lenders hereby acknowledge that no Agent shall be under any duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of any Loan Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Requisite Lenders.
          The Collateral Agent hereby agrees that it holds and will hold all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Security Documents and the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent thereunder whether now existing or hereafter arising (all such right, title and interest being hereinafter referred to as the “Collateral Estate”) under and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; and the Collateral Agent further agrees that it will hold such Collateral Estate for the benefit of the Secured Parties, for the enforcement of the payment of all Obligations (subject to the limitations and priorities set forth herein and in the respective Security Documents) and as security for the performance of and compliance with the covenants and conditions of this Agreement and each of the Security Documents.
          All of the powers, remedies and rights of the Collateral Agent as set forth in this Agreement may be exercised by the Collateral Agent in respect of any Security Document as though set forth in full therein and all of the powers, remedies and rights of the Collateral Agent as set forth in any Security Document may be exercised from time to time as herein and therein provided.
          The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, having combined capital and surplus of at least $500 million, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within sixty (60) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower 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 Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Bank directly, until such time as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article VIII shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Swingline Lender and, if Bank of America is then an Issuing Bank, Bank of America in its capacity as Issuing Bank. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and

 


 

become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swingline Lender and, if Bank of America is then an Issuing Bank, Bank of America in its capacity as Issuing Bank, (b) the retiring Swingline Lender and, if Bank of America is then an Issuing Bank, Bank of America in its capacity as Issuing Bank, shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) if Bank of America is then an Issuing Bank, the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.
          The Collateral Agent may resign as the Collateral Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Collateral Agent shall resign as the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Requisite Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Collateral Agent, and the term “Collateral Agent” means such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and such former Collateral Agent’s rights, powers and duties as the Collateral Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Collateral Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Collateral Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Collateral Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Collateral Agent shall, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor Collateral Agent (which successor agent shall be a financial institution of nationally-recognized standing that, in the ordinary course of business, performs functions equivalent to those of the Collateral Agent hereunder), and the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation shall become effective upon such appointment. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation as the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
          With respect to the Loans made by it hereunder, each Agent in its individual capacity and not as an Agent shall have the same rights and powers as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent.
          Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
          The Lenders and the Issuing Bank irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby agree)
     (a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination or expiration of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations that are not then due and payable) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit which have been collateralized in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent),

 


 

(ii) that is sold, transferred or disposed of or to be sold, transferred or disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale, transfer or disposition permitted hereunder and under the Loan Documents substantially simultaneously with such sale, disposition or transfer, or (iii) subject to Section 10.08, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite Lenders; and
     (b) to release (i) US LLC 1 and, if applicable, US LLC 2 at such time it becomes a Foreign Subsidiary and (ii) any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.
          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Lead Arranger, any Co-Arranger, any Co-Syndication Agent nor the Co-Documentation Agents, in such respective capacities, shall have any obligations, duties or responsibilities, or shall incur any liabilities, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

     (ii) any telecopy communication which reasonably appears to that Lender to have been sent by the Borrower having in fact been sent by a Person other than the Borrower.
          SECTION 10.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by Lenders hereto and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any Fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.16, 10.02, 10.05 and 10.16 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
          SECTION 10.03. Binding Effect. Subject to Sections 4.01 and 4.02, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
          SECTION 10.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit). All covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Agents or the Lenders that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.04(f)(iii) and, solely to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
          (b) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and

 


 

the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or in connection with the initial syndication of the Commitments and Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than, in the case of the Term B-1 Loans, the Term B-2 Loans and the Add-On Term Loans, $1.0 million and increments of $1.0 million in excess thereof and, in the case of the Revolving Loans, $5.0 million and increments of $1.0 million in excess thereof (or (A) if the aggregate amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender is a lesser amount, the entire amount of such Commitment or Loans, or (B) in any other case, such lesser amount as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree), (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, except that this clause (ii) shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments and Loans, (iii) except in the case of the assignment to an Affiliate of such Lender or an assignment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.20, the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (it being understood that only one fee shall be required to be paid by a Lender in respect of concurrent assignments to two or more Approved Funds), and (iv) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Subject to acceptance and recording pursuant to Section 10.04(e), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least five Business Days after the execution thereof (unless otherwise determined by the Administrative Agent), (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations 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 Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment, as well as to any Fees accrued for its account and not yet paid). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.04(f).
          (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Loans and participations in Swingline Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements, if any, delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own

 


 

credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon either Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes each Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender; and (viii) Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed to be amended to reflect the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder after giving effect thereto.
          (d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements, and participations in Swingline Loans, owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Except to the extent inconsistent with Section 2.07(d), the entries in the Register shall be conclusive and the Borrower, the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
          (e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.04(b) above and, if required, the written consent of the Borrower, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 10.04(e).
          (f) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) each Participant shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.04(b) (provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such Section than the Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the interest transferred), and (iv) the Borrower, the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right (which each Lender agrees will not be limited by the terms of any participation agreement or other agreement with a participant) to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents (other than, without the consent of the Participant, amendments, modifications or waivers described in Section 10.08(c) that affect such Participant).

 


 

          (g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of any of the Loan Parties; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute a confidentiality agreement in form and substance consistent with provisions of Section 10.16.
          (h) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender and this Section 10.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that (x) no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto and (y) any foreclosure or similar action shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.04(b) concerning assignments and shall not be effective to transfer any rights under this Agreement or in any Loan, Note or other instrument evidencing the rights of a Lender under this Agreement until the requirements of Section 10.04(b) concerning assignments are fully satisfied. In order to facilitate such a pledge or assignment, the Borrower shall, at the request of the assigning Lender, duly execute and deliver to the assigning Lender a promissory note or notes evidencing the Loans made to the Borrower by the assigning Lender hereunder.
          (i) The Borrower shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.
          (j) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Commitment Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
          (k) If a Non-Extending Revolving Lender assigns all or a portion of such Non-Extending Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Loans (including such Non-Extending Revolving Lender’s participations in LC Exposure and/or Swingline Loans) to an Eligible Assignee pursuant to the terms of this Section 10.04, such Eligible Assignee may agree in the applicable Assignment and Acceptance to become an Extending Revolving Lender with respect to such assigned Revolving Commitments, Revolving Loans and participations in such LC Exposure and/or Swingline Loans and agree in the applicable Assignment and Acceptance to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity

 


 

Date with respect to such assigned Revolving Commitments, Revolving Loans and participations in LC Exposure and/or Swingline Loans to September 30, 2014. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that the extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall occur automatically on the effective date of the applicable Assignment and Acceptance and that such Eligible Assignee shall become an Extending Revolving Lender hereunder without the need for any amendment to this Agreement.
          SECTION 10.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and BAS, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Moore & Van Allen, PLLC, counsel for the Administrative Agent and BAS, and local counsel, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by BAS, including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Moore & Van Allen, PLLC, as counsel for BAS, RBS Securities Inc. and The Bank of Nova Scotia, in connection with preparation of Amendment No. 3 and the extension and syndication of the credit facilities in connection therewith (whether or not the transactions thereby contemplated shall be consummated), (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iv) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by BAS, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement (including its rights under this Section), the other Loan Documents or the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit, and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Issuing Bank or any Lender; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay for expenses incurred by a Lender in connection with the assignment of Loans to an assignee Lender (except pursuant to Section 2.20) or the sale of Loans to a Participant pursuant to Section 10.04.
          (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Lead Arranger, the Co-Arrangers, the Issuing Bank, each Lender, each Affiliate of any of the foregoing Persons and each of their respective Related Parties (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability or Environmental Claim related in any way to the Borrower or the Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related reasonable expenses are finally judicially determined to have arisen by reason of the Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 


 

          (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to promptly pay any amount to be paid by them to any Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Co-Arrangers, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (other than syndication expenses); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the applicable Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures, outstanding Term B-1 Loans, outstanding Term B-2 Loans, outstanding Add-On Term Loans and unused Commitments at the time.
          (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.
          (e) The provisions of this Section 10.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.
          SECTION 10.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default or Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. In connection with exercising its rights pursuant to the previous sentence, a Lender may at any time use the Borrower’s credit balances with the Lender to purchase at the Lender’s applicable spot rate of exchange any other currency or currencies which the Lender considers necessary to reduce or discharge any amount due by the Borrower to the Lender, and may apply that currency or those currencies in or towards payment of those amounts. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after making any such setoff.
          SECTION 10.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
          SECTION 10.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of any Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agents, the

 


 

Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 10.08(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default regardless of whether an Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
          (b) Subject to Sections 10.08(c), 10.08(d) and 10.08(e), no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Requisite Lenders.
          (c) Subject to Section 10.08(e), without the written consent of each Lender that would be directly affected thereby (whose consent shall be sufficient therefor without the consent of the Requisite Lenders), no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent shall be effective if the effect thereof would:
     (i) extend the scheduled final maturity of any Loan or Note;
     (ii) waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled repayment (but not prepayment);
     (iii) extend the stated expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date;
     (iv) reduce the rate of interest on any Loan (other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any Loan pursuant to Section 2.08(c)) or any fee payable hereunder or any prepayment premium payable hereunder, it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (iv);
     (v) extend the time for payment of any such interest or fees or prepayment premium;
     (vi) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or any reimbursement obligation in respect of any Letter of Credit;
     (vii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Section 2.13(c), Section 2.19, Section 7.06, Section 10.08(b), this Section 10.08(c), Section 10.08(d) or Section 10.08(e) (except for technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement which affect the protections to such additional extensions of credit of the type provided to the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Term B-1 Loans on the Original Effective Date);
     (viii) amend the definition of “Requisite Lenders” or “Commitment Percentage”; provided, with the consent of Requisite Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant hereto may be included in the determination of “Requisite Lenders” or “Commitment Percentage” on substantially the same basis as the Revolving Credit Commitments, Revolving Loans, Term B-1 Commitments and Term B-1 Loans, are included on the Original Effective Date;

 


 

     (ix) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from the Guarantee except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents or subordinate the Liens under any Security Document, it being understood that additional extensions of credit under this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.21 or consented to by the Requisite Lenders may be equally and ratably secured by the Collateral with the then existing secured obligations under the Security Documents; or
     (x) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Loan Party of any of its rights and obligations under any Loan Document.
          (d) Subject to Section 10.08(e), no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any provision of the Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall:
     (i) increase any Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender; provided no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any condition precedent, covenant, Default or Event of Default shall constitute an increase in any Commitment of any Lender;
     (ii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision hereof relating to the Swingline Sublimit or the Swingline Loans without the consent of Swingline Lender;
     (iii) amend the definition of “Requisite Class Lenders” without the consent of Requisite Class Lenders of each Class; provided, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant hereto may be included in the determination of such “Requisite Class Lenders” on substantially the same basis as the Revolving Credit Commitments, Revolving Loans, Term B-1 Commitments and Term B-1 Loans are included on the Original Effective Date;
     (iv) alter the required application of any repayments or prepayments as between Classes pursuant to Section 2.05 without the consent of Requisite Class Lenders of each Class which is being allocated a lesser repayment or prepayment as a result thereof; provided the Requisite Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any prepayment so long as the application, as between Classes, of any portion of such prepayment is still required to be made is not altered and, if additional extensions of term credit under this Agreement consented to by the Requisite Lenders are made, such new term loans may be included on a pro rata basis in the various prepayments required pursuant to Section 2.05;
     (v) amend, modify, terminate or waive any obligation of Lenders relating to the issuance of or purchase of participations in Letters of Credit without the written consent of Administrative Agent and of Issuing Bank;
     (vi) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Article VIII as the same applies to any Agent, or any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any Agent, in each case without the consent of such Agent;
     (vii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination to grant any consent

 


 

thereunder without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be);
     (viii) amend, modify, terminate or waive the manner of application of any optional or mandatory prepayments of Loans to the remaining amortization payments of (A) the Term B-1 Loans without the written consent of Term B-1 Lenders holding more than 50% of the outstanding Term B-1 Loans, (B) the Term B-2 Loans without the written consent of Term B-2 Lenders holding more than 50% of the outstanding Term B-2 Loans and (C) the Add-On Term Loans without the written consent of Add-On Term Loan Lenders holding more than 50% of the outstanding Add-On Term Loans;
     (ix) expressly amend, modify, supplement or waive any condition precedent in Section 4.03 to any Revolving Credit Borrowing without the written consent of the Requisite Revolving Lenders; or
     (x) increase the maximum duration of Interest Periods hereunder without the consent of all Lenders;
provided that any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of the Revolving Lender (but not the Term B-1 Lenders, the Term B-2 Lenders or the Add-On Term Loan Lenders), or the Term B-1 Lenders (but not the Revolving Lenders, the Term B-2 Lenders or the Add-On Term Loan Lenders), or the Term B-2 Lenders (but not the Revolving Lenders, the Term B-1 Lenders or the Add-On Term Loan Lenders), or the Add-On Term Loan Lenders (but not the Revolving Lenders, the Term B-1 Lenders or the Term B-2 Lenders) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time.
          (e) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement (other than as contemplated by Sections 10.08(d)(i), 10.08(d)(ii), 10.08(d)(v) and 10.08(d)(vi)), the consent of the Requisite Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right, so long as all Non-Consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described below, to transfer or assign, without recourse, all of the rights, obligations and interests of each such Non-Consenting Lender or Lenders with respect to either this Agreement or the Class of Loans or Commitments that is subject to the related change, waiver, discharge or termination to one or more assignees (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04) approved by the Administrative Agent (and with respect to any Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Loans, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, so long as at the time of such transfer or assignment, each such assignee consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination; provided, however, that no Non-Consenting Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment unless, (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law or any rule, regulation or order of any Governmental Authority and (y) such assignee or the Borrower shall pay to the affected Non-Consenting Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by such Non-Consenting Lender and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans held by such Non-Consenting Lender and all commitment fees and other fees owed to such Non-Consenting Lender hereunder and all other amounts accrued for such Non-Consenting Lender’s account or owed to it hereunder (including, without limitation, any Commitment Fees).

 


 

          SECTION 10.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or participation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
          SECTION 10.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that any letter agreement relating to the subject matter hereof between the Borrower and a Lender shall remain effective in accordance with its terms to the extent it expressly survives the effectiveness of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
          It is intended by the parties hereto that (a) all obligations of the parties under the Original Credit Agreement shall continue to exist under and be evidenced by this Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and (b) except as expressly stated herein or amended hereby, the Original Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are ratified and confirmed as remaining unmodified and in full force and effect with respect to all Obligations; it being understood that it is the intent of the parties hereto that this Amended and Restated Credit Agreement does not constitute a novation of rights, obligations and liabilities of the respective parties (including the Obligations) existing under the Original Credit Agreement or evidence payment of all or any of such obligations and liabilities and such rights, obligation and liabilities shall continue and remain outstanding, and that this Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Original Credit Agreement.

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.11.
          SECTION 10.12. Severability.

The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid

 


 

provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

          (b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section.
