          CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of May 11, 2011, among TOWN SPORTS INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), TOWN SPORTS INTERNATIONAL, LLC, a New York limited liability company (the “Borrower”), the Lenders party hereto from time to time, and DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”). All capitalized terms used herein and defined in Section 1 are used herein as therein defined.
W I T N E S S E T H:
          WHEREAS, subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lenders are willing to make available to the Borrower the respective credit facilities provided for herein;
          NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:
          SECTION 1. Definitions and Accounting Terms.

          “Account Control Agreement” shall mean a “control agreement” in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and containing terms regarding the treatment of all cash, Cash Equivalents and other amounts on deposit in (or credited to) the respective Account governed by such Account Control Agreement.
          “Acquired Entity or Business” shall mean either (x) the assets and liabilities constituting a business, division or product line of any Person not already a Subsidiary of the Borrower or (y) 100% of the Equity Interests of any such Person, which Person shall, as a result of such stock acquisition, become a Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary of the Borrower (or shall be merged with and into the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor, with the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor being the surviving Person), provided that any foreign operations of any such Person may be held by one or more Foreign Subsidiaries of such Person to the extent otherwise permitted under this Agreement.
          “Additional Security Documents” shall have the meaning provided in Section 9.12.
          “Adjustable Applicable Margins” shall have the meaning provided in the definition of “Applicable Margin”.
          “Adjusted Consolidated Net Income” shall mean, for any period, Consolidated Net Income for such period plus the sum of the amount of all net non-cash charges (including,

 


 

without limitation, depreciation, amortization, deferred tax expense, non-cash interest expense and non-cash stock or stock option compensation expense) and net non-cash losses which were included in arriving at Consolidated Net Income for such period, less the amount of all net non-cash gains and non-cash credits which were included in arriving at Consolidated Net Income for such period.
          “Adjusted Consolidated Working Capital” shall mean, at any time, Consolidated Current Assets (but excluding therefrom all cash and Cash Equivalents) less Consolidated Current Liabilities at such time.
          “Administrative Agent” shall mean DBTCA, in its capacity as Administrative Agent for the Lenders hereunder, and shall include any successor to the Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to Section 12.09.
          “Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any Person, any other Person directly or indirectly controlling (including, but not limited to, all directors and officers of such Person), controlled by, or under direct or indirect common control with, such Person. A Person shall be deemed to control another Person if such Person possesses, directly or indirectly, the power (i) to vote 5% or more of the securities having ordinary voting power for the election of directors (or equivalent governing body) of such Person or (ii) to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such other Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; provided, however, that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Affiliate thereof shall be considered an Affiliate of Holdings or any Subsidiary thereof.
          “Agent-Related Person” shall have the meaning provided in Schedule XII.
          “Agreement” shall mean this Credit Agreement, as modified, supplemented, amended, restated (including any amendment and restatement hereof), extended or renewed from time to time.
          “Applicable Excess Cash Flow Repayment Percentage” shall mean 75%; provided that, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists on the respective Excess Cash Flow Payment Date, (i) if the Secured Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the respective Excess Cash Flow Payment Period is less than or equal to 3.00:1.00 but greater than 2.50:1.00, then the Applicable Excess Cash Flow Repayment Percentage instead shall be 50%, (ii) if the Secured Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the respective Excess Cash Flow Payment Period is less than or equal to 2.50:1.00 but greater than 2.00:1.00, then the Applicable Excess Cash Flow Repayment Percentage instead shall be 25%, and (iii) if the Secured Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the respective Excess Cash Flow Payment Period is less than or equal to 2.00:1.00, then the Applicable Excess Cash Flow Repayment Percentage instead shall be 0%.
          “Applicable Margin” shall mean a percentage per annum equal to: (i) in the case of Initial Term Loans maintained as (x) Base Rate Loans, 4.50%, and (y) Eurodollar Loans, 5.50%; (ii) in the case of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans maintained as (x) Base Rate Loans, initially 4.50%, and (y) Eurodollar Loans, initially 5.50%; (iii) in the case of Swingline Loans, initially 4.50%; and (iv) in the case of any Type of Incremental Term Loan of a given Tranche that is not an Initial Term Loan, that percentage per annum set forth in, or calculated in

-2-


 

accordance with, Section 2.14 and the respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement. From and after each day of delivery of any certificate delivered in accordance with the first sentence of the following paragraph indicating an entitlement to a different margin for any Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans than that described in the immediately preceding sentence (each, a “Start Date”) to and including the applicable End Date described below, the Applicable Margins for such Tranches of Loans (hereinafter, the “Adjustable Applicable Margins”) shall be those set forth below opposite the Secured Leverage Ratio indicated to have been achieved in any certificate delivered in accordance with the following sentences:
                 
            Revolving Loan and
    Revolving Loan   Swingline Loan
Secured Leverage Ratio   Eurodollar Margin   Base Rate Margin
Greater than 3.00 to 1.00
    5.50 %     4.50 %
 
               
Greater than 2.75 to 1.00 but less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00
    5.25 %     4.25 %
 
               
Less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00
    5.00 %     4.00 %
          The Secured Leverage Ratio used in a determination of Adjustable Applicable Margins shall be determined based on the delivery of a certificate of Holdings (each, a “Quarterly Pricing Certificate”) by an Authorized Financial Officer of Holdings to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to be sent by the Administrative Agent to each Lender), within 45 days after the last day of any fiscal quarter of Holdings (or within 90 days after the last day of the fourth fiscal quarter of Holdings). The Quarterly Pricing Certificate shall set forth the calculation of the Secured Leverage Ratio as at the last day of the Test Period ended immediately prior to the relevant Start Date and the Adjustable Applicable Margins which shall be thereafter applicable (until such Adjustable Applicable Margins are changed or cease to apply in accordance with the following sentences). The Adjustable Applicable Margins so determined shall apply, except as set forth in the succeeding sentence, from the relevant Start Date to the earlier of (x) the date on which the next Quarterly Pricing Certificate is delivered to the Administrative Agent or (y) the date which is 45 days (or 90 days in the case of the fourth fiscal quarter of Holdings) following the last day of the fiscal quarter of Holdings for which the Adjustable Applicable Margins were most recently determined pursuant to this definition (such earlier date, the “End Date”), at which time, if no Quarterly Pricing Certificate has been delivered to the Administrative Agent indicating an entitlement to new Adjustable Applicable Margins (and thus commencing a new Start Date), the Adjustable Applicable Margins shall be those set forth in the first sentence of this definition (such Adjustable Applicable Margins as so determined, the “Highest Adjustable Applicable Margins”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this definition, (A) the Adjustable Applicable Margins for Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans shall be the Highest Adjustable Applicable Margins (x) at all times during which an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and (y) at all times prior to the date of delivery of the financial statements of Holdings pursuant to Section 9.01(a) for the fiscal quarter of Holdings ending September 30, 2011, (B) the Applicable Margins in respect of any Tranche of Term Loans shall be increased as, and to the extent, necessary to comply with Section 2.14(a), (C) the Applicable Margins and Adjustable Applicable Margins in respect of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans shall be increased as, and to the extent, necessary to comply with Section 2.15(a), (D) the Applicable Margins in respect of any Tranche of Revolving Loans and

-3-


 

Swingline Loans made pursuant to any Extended Revolving Loan Commitments shall be the applicable percentages per annum set forth in the relevant Extension Offer and (E) the Applicable Margins in respect of any Tranche of Extended Term Loans shall be the applicable percentages per annum set forth in the relevant Extension Offer.

-40-


 

received written notice (A) of rescission of all such notices from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or notices or (B) of the waiver of such Default or Event of Default by the Required Lenders.
          (e) On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice by 3:00 P.M. (New York time) to the RL Lenders that the Swingline Lender’s outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans (provided that such notice shall be deemed to have been automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 or upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in the last paragraph of Section 11), in which case one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans constituting Base Rate Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day (or on the second succeeding Business Day to the extent that the aforementioned notice is delivered (the to the extent required to be delivered) after 3:00 P.M.

-41-


 

Maturity Date all then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on such date (and there shall be no adjustment to the participations in such Swingline Loans as a result of the occurrence of the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date); provided that, if on the occurrence of the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date (after giving effect to any repayments of Revolving Loans and any reallocation of Letter of Credit participations as contemplated in Section 3.07), there shall exist sufficient unutilized Extended Revolving Loan Commitments so that the respective outstanding Swingline Loans could be incurred pursuant to Extended Revolving Loan Commitments, which will remain in effect after the occurrence of the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date, then there shall be an automatic adjustment on such date of the participations in such Swingline Loans and same shall be deemed to have been incurred solely pursuant to the Extended Revolving Loan Commitments and such Swingline Loans shall not be so required to be repaid in full on the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date.
          2.02 Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Loans under a respective Tranche shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable to such Tranche.

Each such notice (each a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10, shall be irrevocable and shall be in writing, or by telephone promptly confirmed in writing, in the form of Exhibit A-1, appropriately completed to specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) whether the Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing shall constitute Initial Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Incremental Term Loans and, if Incremental Term Loans, the specific Tranche thereof, and (iv) whether the Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate Loans or, to the extent permitted hereunder, Eurodollar Loans and, if Eurodollar Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender which is required to make Loans of the Tranche specified in the respective Notice of Borrowing, written notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.
          (b) (i) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall give the Swingline Lender no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date that a Swingline Loan is to be incurred, written notice or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing of each Swingline Loan to be incurred hereunder.

          (c) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice of any Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment, as the case may be, believed by the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s or the Swingline Lender’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, as the case may be, absent manifest error.
          2.04 Disbursement of Funds. No later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (or (x) in the case of Swingline Loans, no later than 3:00 P.M.

(New York time) on the date specified in Section 2.01(e)), each Lender with a Commitment of the respective Tranche will make available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 2.07) of each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date (or in the case of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will make available the full amount thereof). All such amounts will be made available in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, and the Administrative Agent will, except in the case of Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing, make available to the Borrower at the Payment Office the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loans for each day thereafter and (ii) if recovered from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.08. Nothing in this

-43-


 

Section 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.
          2.05 Notes. (a) The Borrower’s obligations to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.15 and shall, if requested by such Lender, also be evidenced (i) in the case of Initial Term Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each an “Initial Term Note” and, collectively, the “Initial Term Notes”), (ii) in the case of Revolving Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each a “Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Notes”), (iii) in the case of Swingline Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (the “Swingline Note”), and (iv) in the case of Incremental Term Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-4, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, an “Incremental Term Note” and, collectively, the “Incremental Term Notes”).
          (b) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and prior to any transfer of any of its Notes will endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation or any error in such notation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.
          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans to the Borrower shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) incurred by the Borrower which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to the various Credit Documents. Any Lender which does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding clause (b). At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, the Borrower shall (at its expense) promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.
          2.06 Conversions. The Borrower shall have the option to convert, on any Business Day, all or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Loans (other than Swingline Loans which may not be converted pursuant to this Section 2.06) made pursuant to one or more Borrowings (so long as of the same Tranche) of one or more Types of Loans into a Borrowing (of the same Tranche) of another Type of Loan, provided that, (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(b), Eurodollar Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Loans being converted and no such partial conversion of Eurodollar Loans shall

Each such conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) (x) at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) in the case of a conversion into Eurodollar Loans and (y) at least one Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) in the case of a conversion into Base Rate Loans (in each case, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) in the form of Exhibit A-2, appropriately completed to specify the Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Loans were incurred and, if to be converted into Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Loans.
          2.07 Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Initial Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Initial Term Loan Commitments, applicable Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, provided that all Mandatory Borrowings shall be incurred from the RL Lenders pro rata on the basis of their RL Percentages. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.
          2.08 Interest.

Interest that accrues under this Section 2.08(c) shall be payable on demand.
          (d) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, (x) quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (y) on the date of (A) any repayment or prepayment in full of all outstanding Term Loans of any Tranche and (B) in the case of Revolving Loans, any termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, and (z) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand, and (ii) in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, (x) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), and (z) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.
          (e) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period applicable to the respective Eurodollar Loans and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.
          2.09 Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any Eurodollar Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the Borrower shall have the right to elect the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be a one, two, three or six month period, or, to the extent agreed to by all Lenders with Commitments and/or Loans under the relevant Tranche, a nine or twelve month period, provided that (in each case):
     (i) all Eurodollar Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;

-46-


 

     (iv) if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;
     (v) no Interest Period may be selected at any time if (x) an Event of Default under Section 11.05 with respect to any Credit Party (other than an Immaterial Subsidiary) is then in existence or (y) any other Event of Default or any Specified Default is then in existence and (in the case of this sub-clause (y) only) the Required Lenders determine (in their sole discretion) that such conversion would be disadvantageous to the Lenders at such time;
     (vi) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Tranche of Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date for such Tranche of Loans; and
     (vii) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Tranche of Term Loans shall be selected which extends beyond any date upon which a mandatory repayment of such Tranche of Term Loans will be required to be made under Section 5.02(b) if the aggregate principal amount of such Tranche of Term Loans which have Interest Periods which will expire after such date will be in excess of the aggregate principal amount of such Tranche of Term Loans then outstanding less the aggregate amount of such required repayment.
If by 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.
          2.10 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. (a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent):
     (i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurodollar Rate; or
     (ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Eurodollar Loan because of (x) any change since the Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, but not limited to

-47-


 

(A) a change that shall subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than (1) Indemnified Taxes covered in Section 5.04(a), (2) Excluded Taxes and (3) Other Connection Taxes) on its Loans, loan principal, Letters of Credit, Commitments or other Obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto or (B) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate and/or (y) other circumstances arising since the Effective Date affecting such Lender, the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of such Lender in such market; or
     (iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law) or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Effective Date which materially and adversely affects the interbank Eurodollar market;
then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon such Lender’s written request therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.
          (b) At any time that any Eurodollar Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii), the Borrower may, and in the case of a Eurodollar Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii), the Borrower shall, either (x) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that the Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan, provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

-48-


 

          (c) If any Lender determines that after the Effective Date the introduction or effectiveness of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts.
          (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change after the Effective Date in a requirement of law or governmental rule, regulation or order, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented for all purposes under or in connection with this Agreement (including this Section 2.10 and Section 3.06).
          (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.10, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10 for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 180-day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.
          2.11 Compensation. The Borrower agrees to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Eurodollar Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, Eurodollar Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.10(a)); (ii) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the

-49-


 

Loans pursuant to Section 11) or conversion of any of its Eurodollar Loans, or assignment of any of its Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 2.13, occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by the Borrower to repay Eurodollar Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender or (y) any election made pursuant to Section 2.10(b).
          2.12 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 2.10, 3.06 and 5.04.
          2.13 Replacement of Lenders. (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (y) upon the occurrence of an event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower increased costs under any such Section or (z) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrower shall have the right, if no Default or Event of Default then exists (or, in the case of preceding clause (z), will exist immediately after giving effect to such replacement), to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of whom shall be required to be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of a replacement of Revolving Loan Commitments, each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender or, in the case of a replacement as provided in Section 13.12(b) where the consent of the respective Lender is required with respect to less than all Tranches of its Loans or Commitments, to replace the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of such Lender in respect of each Tranche where the consent of such Lender would otherwise be individually required, with identical Commitments and/or Loans of the respective Tranche provided by the Replacement Lender, provided that:
     (a) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Replacement Lender shall be obligated to enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 13.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans (or, in the case of the replacement of only (a) the Revolving Loan Commitment, the Revolving Loan Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Outstandings and/or (b) the outstanding Term Loans of a Tranche or Tranches, the outstanding Term Loans of such Tranche or Tranches with respect to which such Lender

     (b) all obligations of the Borrower due and owing to the Replaced Lender at such time (other than those (x) specifically described in clause (a) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, but including all amounts, if any, owing under Sections 2.11 and 4.01(h) or (y) relating to any Tranche of Loans and/or Commitments of the respective Replaced Lender which will remain outstanding after giving effect to the respective replacement) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.
          Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, (x) the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and, unless the respective Replaced Lender continues to have outstanding Term Loans and/or a Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder, the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder and, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06 and 13.01), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender and (y) except in the case of the replacement of only outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.13, the RL Percentages of the Lenders shall be automatically adjusted at such time to give effect to such replacement.
          2.14 Incremental Term Loan Commitments. (a) The Borrower shall have the right to request, at any time after the Initial Borrowing Date, that one or more Lenders (and/or

-51-


 

one or more other Persons which are Eligible Transferees and which will become Lenders) provide Incremental Term Loan Commitments to the Borrower and, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and in the respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, make Incremental Term Loans pursuant thereto; it being understood and agreed, however, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment as a result of any such request by the Borrower, and until such time, if any, as such Lender has agreed in its sole discretion to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement as provided in clause (b) of this Section 2.14, such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Incremental Term Loans, (ii) any Lender (including any Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) may so provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment without the consent of any other Lender, (iii) each Tranche of Incremental Term Loan Commitments, and all Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant thereto, shall be denominated in Dollars, (iv) the amount of each Tranche of Incremental Term Loan Commitments (whether constituting a new Tranche of Incremental Term Loans or being added to (and thereafter constituting a part of) a then outstanding Tranche of Term Loans) shall be in a minimum aggregate amount for all Lenders which provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment under such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans (including Eligible Transferees who will become Lenders) of at least $25,000,000 (or such lower amount as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and in integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof (or such other integral multiple as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent), (v) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loan Commitments provided pursuant to this Section 2.14 and the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant thereto shall not exceed the Maximum Incremental Commitment Amount at such time, (vi) the up-front fees and, if applicable, any unutilized commitment fees and/or other fees, payable to each Incremental Term Loan Lender in respect of each Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall be separately agreed to by the Borrower and each such Incremental Term Loan Lender, (vii) each Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall (A) have an Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date of no earlier than the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, (B) have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity of no less than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity as then in effect for the Initial Term Loans and (C) be subject to the Applicable Margins as are set forth in the Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement governing such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans; provided that, if the Applicable Margins for such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to include all up-front or similar fees or original issue discount (amortized over the shorter of (x) the life of such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans and (y) four years) payable to all Incremental Term Loan Lenders providing such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans and any Eurodollar Rate floor or Base Rate floor applicable to such Incremental Term Loans, but exclusive of any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all Incremental Term Loan Lenders providing such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans) determined as of the initial funding date for such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans exceeds the Applicable Margins (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to include all up-front or similar fees or original issue discount originally payable to all Lenders providing the Initial Term Loans or any Incremental Term Loans theretofore incurred and any Eurodollar Rate floor or Base Rate floor applicable to the Initial Term Loans or such Incremental Term Loans) relating to the Initial Term Loans or such Incremental Term Loans immediately prior to the effectiveness of the respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment

Agreement by more than 0.50%, then the Applicable Margins relating to the Initial Term Loans and any Incremental Term Loans thereto incurred shall be adjusted to be equal to the Applicable Margins (determined as provided above) relating to such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans minus 0.50%, (viii) the proceeds of all Incremental Term Loans shall be used only for the purposes permitted by Section 8.08(c), (ix) each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall specifically designate the Tranche or Tranches of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments being provided thereunder (which Tranche shall be a new Tranche (i.e., not the same as the Initial Term Loans or any other then existing Tranche of Term Loans) unless the requirements of Section 2.14(c) are satisfied), (x) all Incremental Term Loans (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and shall be secured by the Security Documents, and guaranteed under the Guaranties, on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations secured by the Security Documents and guaranteed under the Guaranties, and (xi) each Lender (including any Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) agreeing to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment pursuant to an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall, subject to the satisfaction of the relevant conditions set forth in this Agreement, make Incremental Term Loans under the Tranche specified in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement as provided in Section 2.01(c) and such Incremental Term Loans shall thereafter be deemed to be Incremental Term Loans under such Tranche for all purposes of this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents.
          (b) At the time of the provision of Incremental Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Eligible Transferee which agrees to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Lender”) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, with the effectiveness of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment provided therein (and the making of the respective Incremental Term Loans thereunder) to occur on the date set forth in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, which date in any event shall be no earlier than the date on which (w) all fees required to be paid in connection therewith at the time of such effectiveness shall have been paid (including, without limitation, any agreed upon up-front or arrangement fees owing to the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof)), (x) all Incremental Commitment Requirements are satisfied, (y) all other conditions set forth in this Section 2.14 shall have been satisfied, and (z) all other conditions precedent that may be set forth in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall have been satisfied.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.14, the Incremental Term Loan Commitments provided by an Incremental Term Loan Lender or Incremental Term Loan Lenders, as the case may be, pursuant to each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall constitute a new Tranche, which shall be separate and distinct from the existing Tranches pursuant to this Agreement (with a designation which may be made

-53-


 

in letters (i.e., A, B, C, etc.), numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) or a combination thereof (i.e., A-1, A-2, A-3, B-1, B-2, B-3, C-1, C-2, C-3, etc.), provided that, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, the parties to a given Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement may specify therein that the respective Incremental Term Loans made pursuant thereto shall constitute part of, and be added to, a then outstanding Tranche of Term Loans so long as the following requirements are satisfied:
     (i) the Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall have the same Maturity Date and shall have the same Applicable Margins as the Tranche of Term Loans to which the new Incremental Term Loans are being added;
     (ii) the new Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall have the same Scheduled Term Loan Repayment Dates as then remain with respect to the Tranche of Term Loans to which such new Incremental Term Loans are being added (with the amount of each Scheduled Term Loan Repayment applicable to such new Incremental Term Loans to be the same (on a proportionate basis) as is theretofore applicable to the Tranche of Term Loans to which such new Incremental Term Loans are being added, thereby increasing the amount of each then remaining Scheduled Term Loan Repayments of the respective Tranche of Term Loans proportionately); and
     (iii) on the date of the making of such new Incremental Term Loans, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.09, such new Incremental Term Loans shall be added to (and form part of) each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of the respective Tranche on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of the various outstanding Borrowings), so that each Lender will participate proportionately in each then outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans of the respective Tranche.
          To the extent the provisions of preceding clause (iii) require that Lenders making new Incremental Term Loans add such Incremental Term Loans to the then outstanding Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans of the respective Tranche of Term Loans, it is acknowledged that the effect thereof may result in such new Incremental Term Loans having short Interest Periods (i.e., an Interest Period that began during an Interest Period then applicable to outstanding Eurodollar Loans of the respective Tranche and which will end on the last day of such Interest Period). In connection therewith, the Borrower hereby agrees to compensate the Lenders making the new Incremental Term Loans of the respective Tranche for funding Eurodollar Loans during an existing Interest Period on such basis as may be agreed by the Borrower and the respective Lender or Lenders as may be provided in the respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement.
          2.15 Incremental RL Commitments.

-57-


 

Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, of such Lenders with Term Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders with Term Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, have accepted such Extension Offer;

          (b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 5.01, 5.02, 13.02 or 13.06 and (ii) no Tranche of Extended Term Loans shall be in an amount of less than $25,000,000 (the “Minimum Tranche Amount”), unless such Minimum Tranche Amount is waived by the Administrative Agent.

-58-


 

Section 13.12(a)) or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.16, provided that such consent shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of an Extension Offer.

Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions the respective Credit Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Collateral Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a Maturity Date prior to the then latest Maturity Date so that such maturity date is extended to the then latest Maturity Date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Administrative Agent).
          (d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least 15 Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.16.
          2.17 Reverse Dutch Auction Repurchases. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Borrower may, at any time and from time to time after the occurrence of the Initial Borrowing Date, conduct reverse Dutch auctions in order to purchase Term Loans (each, an “Auction” and each such Auction to be managed exclusively by an investment bank of recognized standing selected by the Borrower following consultation with the Administrative Agent, such investment bank in such capacity, the “Auction Manager”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied:

     (xi) at the time of each purchase of Term Loans through an Auction, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Auction Manager and the Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower certifying as to compliance with preceding clauses (ii), (iv), (v) and (x) (and containing the calculations (in reasonable detail) required by preceding clauses (iv) and (v)).
          (b) The Borrower must terminate an Auction if it fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to the respective Auction. If the Borrower commences any Auction (and all relevant requirements set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the commencement of the respective Auction have in fact been satisfied), and if at such time of commencement the Borrower reasonably believes that all required conditions set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the purchase of Term Loans pursuant to such Auction shall be satisfied, then the Borrower shall have no liability to any Lender for any termination of the respective Auction as a result of its failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to the respective Auction, and any such failure shall not result in any Default or Event of Default hereunder. With respect to all purchases of Term Loans made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.17, (x) the Borrower shall pay on the settlement date of each such purchase all accrued and unpaid interest (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant offering documents), if any, on the purchased Term Loans up to the settlement date of such purchase and (y) such purchases (and the payments made by the Borrower and the cancellation of the purchased Term Loans, in each case in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Sections 5.01, 5.02 or 13.06 (although the par principal amount of Term Loans of the respective Tranche so purchased pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall be applied

-60-


 

to reduce the remaining Scheduled Repayments of such Tranche of Term Loans of the applicable Lenders being repaid in inverse order of maturity).
          (c) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Auctions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.17 (provided that no Lender shall have an obligation to participate in any such Auctions) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 5.01, 5.02 and 13.06 (it being understood and acknowledged that purchases of the Term Loans by the Borrower contemplated by this Section 2.17 shall not constitute Investments by the Borrower)) or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit any Auction or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.17. The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Section 12 and Section 13.01 mutatis mutandis as if each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” were a reference to the Auction Manager, and the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Auction Manager as reasonably requested by the Auction Manager in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Auction.
          2.18 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any RL Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such RL Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
     (a) if any Swingline Loan Exposure or Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time an RL Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
     (i) all or any part of such Swingline Loan Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among the RL Lenders that are Non-Defaulting RL Lenders in accordance with their respective RL Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all RL Lenders’ that are Non-Defaulting RL Lenders Individual RL Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Loan Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the aggregate amount of all Non-Defaulting RL Lenders’ Revolving Loan Commitments and (y) immediately following the reallocation to an RL Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender, the Individual RL Exposure of such RL Lender does not exceed its Revolving Loan Commitment at such time;
     (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within three (3) Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Loan Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding (the “Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements”);

-61-


 

     (iii) the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.01(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure;
     (iv) if the Letter of Credit Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.18(a), then the fees payable to the RL Lenders pursuant to Section 4.01(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ RL Percentages; and
     (v) if any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.18(a), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Lender or any RL Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 4.01(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to each Issuing Lender until such Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; and
     (b) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.01(d) or Section 3, so long as any RL Lender is a Defaulting Lender (i) the Swingline Lender shall not fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Lender shall issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Loan Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral has been provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.18(a), and (ii) participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among RL Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.18(a)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).
          In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such RL Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then (i) the Swingline Loan Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure of the RL Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such RL Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitments and on such date such RL Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other RL Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such RL Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its RL Percentage and (ii) so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, all funds held as cash collateral pursuant to the Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements shall thereafter be promptly returned to the Borrower. If the Revolving Loan Commitments have been terminated, all Obligations in respect of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment (or related outstandings) have been paid in full and no Letters of Credit are outstanding, then, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, all funds held as cash collateral pursuant to the Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements shall thereafter be promptly returned to the Borrower.

          SECTION 3. Letters of Credit.
          3.01 Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request that an Issuing Lender issue, at any time and from time to time on and after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the 15th day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, for the account of the Borrower and for the benefit of (x) any holder (or any trustee, agent or other similar representative for any such holders) of L/C Supportable Obligations, an irrevocable standby letter of credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing Lender or in such other form as is reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Lender, and (y) sellers of goods to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, an irrevocable trade letter of credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing Lender or in such other form as has been approved by such Issuing Lender (each such letter of credit, a “Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”). All Letters of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars and shall be issued on a sight basis only.
          (b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Issuing Lender agrees that it will, at any time and from time to time on and after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the 15th day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, following its receipt of the respective Letter of Credit Request, issue for account of the Borrower, one or more Letters of Credit as are permitted to remain outstanding hereunder without giving rise to a Default or an Event of Default, provided that no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit of the types described above if at the time of such issuance:
     (i) any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit or any requirement of law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect with respect to such Issuing Lender on the date hereof, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable or in effect with respect to such Issuing Lender as of the date hereof and which such Issuing Lender reasonably and in good faith deems material to it; or
     (ii) such Issuing Lender shall have received from the Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit notice of the type described in the second sentence of Section 3.03(b).
          3.02 Maximum Letter of Credit Outstandings; Final Maturities. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) at such time would exceed either (x) $25,000,000 or (y) when added to the sum of (I) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding and (II) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding, an amount equal to the

-63-


 

Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, and (ii) each Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate (x) in the case of standby Letters of Credit, on or before the earlier of (A) the date which occurs 12 months after the date of the issuance thereof (although any such standby Letter of Credit shall be extendible for successive periods of up to 12 months, but, in each case, not beyond the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date) and (B) five Business Days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, and (y) in the case of trade Letters of Credit, on or before the earlier of (A) the date which occurs 180 days after the date of issuance thereof and (B) 15 days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.
          (b) Schedule III contains a description of all letters of credit issued by each Issuing Lender pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement and which are to remain outstanding on the Initial Borrowing Date and sets forth, with respect to each such letter of credit, (i) the name of the issuing lender, (ii) the letter of credit number, (iii) the stated amount, (iv) the name of the beneficiary and (v) the expiry date. Each such letter of credit, including any extension thereof, shall constitute a “Letter of Credit” under, as defined in, and for all purposes of, this Agreement and shall be deemed issued on the Initial Borrowing Date.
          3.03 Letter of Credit Requests; Minimum Stated Amount. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lender at least four Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to such Issuing Lender) written notice thereof (including by way of facsimile). Each notice shall be in the form of Exhibit C, appropriately completed (each a “Letter of Credit Request”).
          (b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower to the Lenders that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.02. Unless the respective Issuing Lender has received notice from the Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Section 6 or 7 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.02, then such Issuing Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices. Upon the issuance of or modification or amendment to any standby Letter of Credit, each Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in writing of such issuance, modification or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or the respective modification or amendment thereto, as the case may be. Promptly after receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall notify the Participants, in writing, of such issuance, modification or amendment. On the first Business Day of each week, each Issuing Lender shall furnish the Administrative Agent with a written report (which may be transmitted via facsimile) of the daily aggregate outstandings of trade Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for the immediately preceding week.
          (c) The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $20,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender.

-64-


 

          3.04 Letter of Credit Participations. (a) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each RL Lender, and each such RL Lender (in its capacity under this Section 3.04, a “Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Participant’s RL Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Revolving Loan Commitments or RL Percentages of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13 or 13.04(b), it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings relating thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 3.04 to reflect the new RL Percentages of the assignor and assignee Lender, as the case may be.
          (b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation relative to the other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it shall not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting liability to the Borrower, any other Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).
          (c) In the event that any Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.05(a), such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to such Issuing Lender the amount of such Participant’s RL Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in same day funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies, on or prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on any Business Day, any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make available to the respective Issuing Lender in Dollars such Participant’s RL Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day (or to the extent that the Administrative Agent so notifies such Participant after 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on such Business Day, on the immediately succeeding Business Day, in either case) in same day funds. If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its RL Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the respective Issuing Lender, such Participant agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to such Issuing Lender at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans for each day thereafter. The failure of any Participant to make available to an Issuing Lender its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to such Issuing Lender its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any

-65-


 

other Participant to make available to such Issuing Lender such other Participant’s RL Percentage of any such payment.
          (d) Whenever an Issuing Lender receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received any payments from the Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, such Issuing Lender shall pay to each such Participant which has paid its RL Percentage thereof, in Dollars and in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.
          (e) Upon the request of any Participant, each Issuing Lender shall furnish to such Participant copies of any standby Letter of Credit issued by it and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Participant.
          (f) The obligations of the Participants to make payments to each Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever (except in the case of an Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision)) and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:
     (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents;
     (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Participant, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between Holdings or any Subsidiary of Holdings and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);
     (iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
     (iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or
     (v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.
          3.05 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender, by making payment to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount, so paid until reimbursed by the Borrower, an “Unpaid Drawing”), not later than one Business Day following

-66-


 

receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Unpaid Drawing shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower)), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date such Issuing Lender was reimbursed by the Borrower therefor at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time for Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans; provided, however, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the third Business Day following the receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement or following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 with respect to the Borrower, interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender (and until reimbursed by the Borrower) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans as in effect from time to time plus 2%, with such interest to be payable on demand. Each Issuing Lender shall give the Borrower prompt written notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it, provided that the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.
          (b) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3.05 to reimburse each Issuing Lender with respect to drafts, demands and other presentations for payment under Letters of Credit issued by it (each, a “Drawing”) (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which Holdings or any Subsidiary of Holdings may have or have had against any Lender (including in its capacity as an Issuing Lender or as a Participant), including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse any Issuing Lender for any wrongful payment made by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).
          3.06 Increased Costs. If at any time after the Effective Date, the introduction or effectiveness of or any change in any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or in the interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Issuing Lender or any Participant with any request or directive by the NAIC or by any such governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by any Issuing Lender or participated in by any Participant, or (ii) impose on any Issuing Lender or any Participant any other conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any Letter of Credit; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Issuing Lender or any Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Issuing Lender or any Participant hereunder or reduce

-67-


 

the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit (other than (1) Indemnified Taxes covered in Section 5.04(a), (2) Excluded Taxes and (3) Other Connection Taxes), then, upon the delivery of the certificate referred to below to the Borrower by any Issuing Lender or any Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant for such increased cost or reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the rate of return on its capital. Any Issuing Lender or any Participant, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.06, will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the Borrower by such Issuing Lender or such Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant. The certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.06, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Issuing Lender or Participant pursuant to this Section 3.06 for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Person notifies the Borrower of such Person’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 180-day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.
          3.07 Extended Revolving Loan Commitments. If the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date shall have occurred at a time when Extended Revolving Loan Commitments are in effect, then such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the RL Lenders under the applicable Tranche to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Sections 3.04 and 3.05) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders under the applicable Tranche pursuant to) the Extended Revolving Loan Commitments up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Extended Revolving Loan Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated). Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to the prior sentence, the occurrence of the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date with respect to a given Tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Lenders under a Tranche in any Letter of Credit under such Tranche issued before the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date.
          SECTION 4. Commitment Commission; Fees; Reductions of Commitment.
          4.01 Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Non-Defaulting RL Lender a commitment commission (the “Commitment Commission”) for the period from and including the Effective Date to and including the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment has been terminated) computed at a rate per annum equal to 0.50% of the Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment of such Non-Defaulting RL Lender as in effect from time to time. Accrued Commitment Commission shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the date upon which the Total Revolving Loan

-68-


 

Commitment is terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Commitment Commission in respect of any Extended Revolving Loan Commitments shall be the rate set forth in the relevant Extension Offer.
          (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each RL Lender (based on such RL Lender’s respective RL Percentage) a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such period with respect to Revolving Loans that are maintained as Eurodollar Loans on the daily Stated Amount of each such Letter of Credit. Accrued Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the first day on or after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Letter of Credit Fee in respect of any Extended Revolving Loan Commitments shall be the rate set forth in the relevant Extension Offer.
          (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, a facing fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it (the “Facing Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to 1/4 of 1% on the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, provided that in any event the minimum amount of Facing Fees payable in any twelve-month period for each Letter of Credit shall be not less than $500; it being agreed that, on the day of issuance of any Letter of Credit and on each anniversary thereof prior to the termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, if $500 will exceed the amount of Facing Fees that will accrue with respect to such Letter of Credit for the immediately succeeding twelve-month period, the full $500 shall be payable on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and on each such anniversary thereof. Except as otherwise provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, accrued Facing Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and upon the first day on or after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.
          (d) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, upon each payment under, issuance of, or amendment to, any Letter of Credit issued by it, such amount as shall at the time of such event be the administrative charge and the reasonable expenses which such Issuing Lender is generally imposing in connection with such occurrence with respect to letters of credit.
          (e) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the respective Incremental Term Loan Lenders such fees as may be agreed to as provided in Section 2.14(a).
          (f) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the respective Incremental RL Lenders such fees as may be agreed to as provided in Section 2.15(a).

          (h) All voluntary prepayments of principal of Initial Term Loans pursuant to Sections 5.01(a) and (b) and all mandatory repayments of principal of Initial Term Loans pursuant to Sections 5.02(c) and (d) (other than, in each case, any such prepayment or repayment made in connection with a Change of Control, but only so long as all outstanding Loans are repaid in full and the Total Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated at the time of such Change of Control) will be subject to payment by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender with outstanding Initial Term Loans, of a fee as follows: (x) if payable prior to May 11, 2012, an amount equal to 2.0% of the aggregate principal amount of such prepayment or repayment, as the case may be, and (y) if payable on or after May 11, 2012 and prior to May 11, 2013, an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of such prepayment or repayment, as the case may be. Such fees shall be earned, due and payable by the Borrower upon the date of any such prepayment or repayment, as the case may be. It being understood that any Lender with outstanding Initial Term Loans that is replaced as a Replaced Lender pursuant to clause (z) of Section 2.13 prior to the second anniversary of the Initial Borrowing Date shall be treated as having its Initial Term Loans prepaid by the Borrower and shall be entitled to receive from the Borrower the applicable fee set forth above at the time of such replacement.
          4.02 Voluntary Termination of Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitments. (a) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, without premium or penalty to terminate the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment in whole, or reduce it in part, pursuant to this Section 4.02(a), in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in the case of partial reductions to the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment, provided that each such reduction shall apply proportionately to permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment of each RL Lender.
          (b) In the event of a refusal by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrower shall have the right, subject to obtaining the consents required by Section 13.12(b), upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), to terminate the entire Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender, so long as all Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts, owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.11 but excluding the payment of amounts owing in respect of Loans of any Tranche maintained by such Lender, if such Loans are not being repaid pursuant to Section 13.12(b)) are repaid concurrently with the effectiveness of such termination pursuant to Section 5.01(b) (at which time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect such changed amounts) and such Lender’s RL Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit is reallocated and/or cash collateralized in the manner set forth in clause (c) below, and at such time, unless the respective Lender continues to have outstanding Term Loans hereunder,

-70-


 

such Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06 and 13.01), which shall survive as to such repaid Lender.
          (c) If any Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time that an RL Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated as provided in Section 4.02(b), becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
     (i) all or any part of such Letter of Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among the RL Lenders that are Non-Defaulting RL Lenders in accordance with their respective RL Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of the individual RL Exposures of all RL Lenders that are Non-Defaulting RL Lenders plus such terminated RL Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure that is to be reallocated does not exceed the aggregate amount of all Non-Defaulting RL Lenders’ Revolving Loan Commitments and (y) immediately following the reallocation to an RL Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender, the Individual RL Exposure of such RL Lender does not exceed its Revolving Loan Commitment at such time; and
     (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within three (3) Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender such terminated RL Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such terminated RL Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding.

          (b) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.03, the Total Initial Term Loan Commitment (and the Initial Term Loan Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on the Initial Borrowing Date (after giving effect to the incurrence of Initial Term Loans on such date).
          (c) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.03, the Total Incremental Term Loan Commitment under a given Tranche shall terminate in its entirety on the Incremental Term Loan Borrowing Date for such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans (after giving effect to the incurrence of Incremental Term Loans of such Tranche on such date).
          (d) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.03, (i) the Total Revolving Loan Commitment (and the Revolving Loan Commitment of each RL Lender) (other than Extended Revolving Loan Commitments) shall terminate in its entirety upon the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date and (ii) the Total Revolving Loan Commitment remaining in effect after the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date

-71-

(a) On any day on which the sum of (I) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans (after giving effect to all other repayments thereof on such date), (II) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Loans (after giving effect to all other repayments thereof on such date) and (III) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, the Borrower shall prepay on such day the principal of Swingline Loans and, after all Swingline Loans have been repaid in full or if no Swingline Loans are outstanding, Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans, the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all Obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established and controlled by the Administrative Agent.
          (b) (i) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each date set forth below (each, a “Scheduled Initial Term Loan Repayment Date”), the Borrower shall be required to repay that principal amount of Initial Term Loans, to the extent then outstanding, as is set forth opposite each such date below (each such repayment, as the same may be (x) reduced as provided in Section 5.01(a), 5.01(b) or 5.02(g) or (y) increased as provided in the immediately succeeding paragraph and in Section 2.14(c), a “Scheduled Initial Term Loan Repayment”):

If, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of Holdings (commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2011), the Secured Leverage Ratio for the Test Period ended on such day is greater than 2.75:1.00, then the Scheduled Initial Term Loan Repayment required to be made on the immediately succeeding Scheduled Initial Term Loan Repayment Date (excluding the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date) shall be deemed to be $3,750,000 (with such amount to be adjusted to give effect to any voluntary prepayments theretofore made pursuant to Sections 5.01(a) and (b) and any mandatory repayments theretofore made pursuant to Sections 5.02(c), (d), (e) and (f) such that any such prepayments or repayments, the application of which was respectively determined prior to the relevant Secured Leverage Ratio calculation and the payment of which was theretofore scheduled to be applied on the relevant Scheduled Initial Term Loan Repayment Date, shall reduce such amount by the same percentage by which the Scheduled Initial Term Loan Repayment set forth in the preceding table would otherwise have been reduced by the application of the previously determined prepayment or repayment to arrive at the Scheduled Initial Term Loan Repayment had the Secured Leverage Ratio remained below 2.75 to 1.00, but only to the extent of the amount of any prepayment or repayment, as applicable, that has not yet been theretofore applied to any other Scheduled Initial Term Loan Repayment; it being understood and agreed, however, to the extent that any future Scheduled Initial Term Loan Repayments had theretofore been reduced as a result of any such voluntary prepayments or mandatory repayments, such future Scheduled Initial Term Loan Repayments may be readjusted (and thereby increased) to reflect the adjustment made above in this parenthetical).
          (ii) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, the Borrower shall be required to make, with respect to each Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, to the extent then outstanding, scheduled amortization payments of such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans on the dates and in the principal amounts set forth in the respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement (each such date, a “Scheduled Incremental Term Loan Repayment Date”, and each such repayment, as the same may be (x) reduced as provided in Section 5.01(a), 5.01(b) or 5.02(g) or (y) increased as provided in Section 2.14(c), a “Scheduled Incremental Term Loan Repayment”).
          (c) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each date on or after the Initial Borrowing Date upon which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any issuance or incurrence by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries of Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Indebtedness for borrowed money permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 10.04), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Debt Proceeds of the respective incurrence of Indebtedness shall be applied on such date as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h).
          (d) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each date on or after the Initial Borrowing Date upon which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any Asset Sale, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Sale Proceeds therefrom shall be applied on such date as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h); provided, however, that with respect to no more than $30,000,000 in the aggregate of such Net Sale Proceeds received by Holdings or its Subsidiaries in any fiscal year of Holdings, such Net Sale Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists and such Net Sale Proceeds shall be used to purchase assets used or to be used in the businesses

-76-


 

permitted pursuant to Section 10.11 within 365 days following the date of such Asset Sale; and provided further, however, that if all or any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds not required to be so applied as provided above in this Section 5.02(d) are not so reinvested within such 365-day period (or such earlier date, if any, as Holdings or the relevant Subsidiary determines not to reinvest the Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale as set forth above), such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period (or such earlier date, as the case may be) as provided above in this Section 5.02(d) without regard to the preceding proviso.
          (e) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each Excess Cash Flow Payment Date, an amount equal to remainder (if positive) of (A) the Applicable Excess Cash Flow Repayment Percentage of the Excess Cash Flow for the related Excess Cash Flow Payment Period minus (B) the aggregate amount of principal repayments of Loans (other than any Term Loans (calculated at the face amount thereof) purchased or repaid pursuant to an Auction) to the extent (and only to the extent) that such repayments were made as a voluntary prepayment pursuant to Section 5.01 with internally generated funds (but in a case of a voluntary prepayment of Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans, only to the extent accompanied by a voluntary reduction to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment in an amount equal to such prepayment) during the relevant Excess Cash Flow Payment Period, shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h).
          (f) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, within 30 days following each date on or after the Initial Borrowing Date upon which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any Recovery Event (other than Recovery Events where the Net Recovery Event Proceeds therefrom do not exceed $500,000), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Recovery Event Proceeds from such Recovery Event shall be applied within such 30 day period as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(g) and (h); provided, however that, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, such Net Recovery Event Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied within such 30 day period to the extent that such Net Recovery Event Proceeds shall be used to purchase assets used or to be used in the businesses permitted pursuant to Section 10.11 within 365 days following the date of the receipt of such Net Recovery Event Proceeds; and provided further, that if all or any portion of such Net Recovery Event Proceeds not required to be so applied pursuant to the preceding proviso are not so used within 365 days after the date of the receipt of such Net Recovery Event Proceeds (or such earlier date, if any, as Holdings or the relevant Subsidiary determines not to reinvest the Net Recovery Event Proceeds relating to such Recovery Event as set forth above), such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period (or such earlier date, as the case may be) as provided above in this Section 5.02(f) without regard to the immediately preceding proviso.
          (g) Each amount required to be applied pursuant to Sections 5.02(c), (d), (e) and (f) in accordance with this Section 5.02(g) shall be applied to repay the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and shall be allocated among each Tranche of outstanding Term Loans on a pro rata basis, with each Tranche of Term Loans to be allocated its Term Loan Percentage of the amount of the respective repayment. The amount of each principal repayment of each Tranche of Term Loans made as required by Sections 5.02(c), 5.02(d), 5.02(e) and 5.02(f) shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Term Loan Repayments on a pro rata basis

-77-


 

(based upon the then remaining principal amounts of such Scheduled Term Loan Repayments of such Tranche of Term Loans after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto).
          (h) With respect to each repayment of Loans required by this Section 5.02, the Borrower may designate the Types of Loans of the respective Tranche which are to be repaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings of the respective Tranche pursuant to which such Eurodollar Loans were made, provided that: (i) repayments of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 5.02 may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless all Eurodollar Loans of the respective Tranche with Interest Periods ending on such date of required repayment and all Base Rate Loans of the respective Tranche have been paid in full; (ii) if any repayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, such Borrowing shall be automatically converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; and (iii) each repayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion with a view, but not an obligation, to minimize breakage cost owing under Section 2.11.
          (i) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, (i) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all then outstanding Loans of a respective Tranche (other than Swingline Loans) shall be repaid in full on the respective Maturity Date for such Tranche of Loans, and (ii) outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on the earlier of (x) the fifth Business Day following the date of the incurrence of such Swingline Loans and (y) the Swingline Expiry Date.
          5.03 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement and under any Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date when due and shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment Office; provided that, written notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent regarding the making of any payment from the Borrower’s account at the Payment Office shall be deemed the making of such payment to the extent that a sufficient amount of funds are available to be withdrawn from such account and such funds are in fact transferred to the Payment Office. Any payments under this Agreement or under any Note which are made later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on any day shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension.
          5.04 Net Payments. (a) All payments made by the Borrower hereunder and under any Note will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. All such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for Taxes, unless such deduction or withholding is required by any law. If any such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Indemnified Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under

-78-


 

any Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any such Indemnified Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Note had no such withholding or deduction been made. The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts (or such other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) evidencing such payment by the Borrower (to the extent Borrower is responsible for making such withholding or deduction). The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Lender.
          (b) Each Lender that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes (other than a Lender that may be treated as an exempt recipient under Treasury Regulations Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii), subject to the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1(d)(4)) agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective Date or, in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.13 or 13.04(b) (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9.

In the case of a Foreign Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under this Agreement or any Note (including a partnership or a participating Lender), such Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective Date or, in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.13 or 13.04(b) (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (ii) the relevant forms prescribed in the preceding two sentences as applicable that would be required of each such

In addition, each Foreign Lender agrees that from time to time after the Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the certification or forms in the second and third preceding sentences obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, such Foreign Lender will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative 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), Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (together with all underlying forms), as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Foreign Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note, or such Foreign Lender shall immediately notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such Form or Certificate, in which case such Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any such Form or Certificate pursuant to this Section 5.04(b).
          (c) If the Borrower pays any additional amount under this Section 5.04 to a Lender and such Lender determines in its sole discretion that it has actually received in connection therewith any refund of its Tax liabilities in or with respect to the taxable year in which the additional amount is paid (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 net benefit, after tax, which was obtained by such Lender in such year as a consequence of 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 of any Tax Benefit with respect to which such Lender has made a payment to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.04(c) shall be treated as a Tax for which the Borrower is obligated to indemnify such Lender pursuant to this Section 5.04 without any exclusions or defenses, (iii) nothing in this Section 5.04(c) shall require any Lender to disclose any confidential information to the Borrower (including, without limitation, its tax returns), and (iv) no Lender shall be required to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 5.04(c) at any time when a Default or an Event of Default exists.

Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Holdings and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Holdings and its Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the financial condition of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the financial condition of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.
          12.04 Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent requests instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and

-125-


 

the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.
          12.05 Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by any Person that the Administrative Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Credit Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent.
          12.06 Indemnification. To the extent the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any affiliate thereof) in proportion to their respective “percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders (determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature (including, without limitation, any customary indemnifications provided to a deposit account bank pursuant to a “control agreement” referred to in the Security Agreement) which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Credit Document (including with respect to any agreements or other instruments referred to herein or therein) or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s (or such affiliate’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).
          12.07 The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation to make Loans, or issue or participate in Letters of Credit, under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the term “Lender,” “Required Lenders,” “Majority Lenders” “holders of Notes” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include the Administrative Agent in its respective individual capacities. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

-126-


 

          12.08 Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.
          12.09 Resignation by the Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents at any time by giving 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and, unless a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 with respect to the Borrower then exists, the Borrower. Any such resignation by an Administrative Agent hereunder shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or make any additional Swingline Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it, or Swingline Loans made by it, in either case, prior to the date of such resignation. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.
          (b) Upon any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the Borrower’s approval shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists).
          (c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 15 Business Day period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.
          (d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above by the 20th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.
          (e) Upon a resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.09, the Administrative Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the provisions of this Section 12 shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Administrative Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as the Administrative Agent.

          13.01 Payment of Expenses, etc. (a) The Borrower hereby agrees to: (i) whether or not the transactions herein contemplated are consummated, pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of White & Case LLP and one local counsel to the Administrative Agent in each relevant jurisdiction) in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein and any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto or thereto, of the Administrative Agent in connection with its syndication efforts and administration functions with respect to this Agreement and of the Administrative Agent and, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, each of the Issuing Lenders and Lenders in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings (including, in each case without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and consultants for the Administrative Agent and, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, one additional firm of counsel for the Lenders); (ii) pay and hold the Administrative Agent, each of the Issuing Lenders and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present and future stamp, excise and other similar documentary taxes with respect to the foregoing matters and save the Administrative Agent, each of the Issuing Lenders and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission (other than to the extent attributable to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender) to pay such taxes; and (iii) indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, affiliates, trustees and investment advisors (collectively, as to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender, its “Related Parties”) from and hold each of them harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations (including removal or remedial actions), losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and disbursements (limited, in the case of any Event of Default, to one counsel to the Administrative Agent, one additional counsel for all Issuing Lenders and Lenders, taken as a whole, one local counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, taken as a whole, in each relevant jurisdiction, and, solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interests, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to each group of affected Lenders similarly situated, taken as a whole)) incurred by, imposed on or assessed against any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of, (a) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender is a party thereto and whether or not such investigation, litigation or other proceeding is brought by or on behalf of any Credit Party) related to the entering into and/or performance of this Agreement or any other Credit Document (b) the entering into and/or performance of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the use of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds of any Loans hereunder or the consummation of the Transaction or any other transactions contemplated herein or in any other Credit Document or the exercise of any of their rights or remedies provided herein or in the other Credit Documents, or (c) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials in the air, surface water or groundwater or on the surface or subsurface of any Real Property at any time owned, leased or operated by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, the generation, storage, transportation, handling

-128-


 

or disposal of Hazardous Materials by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries at any location, whether or not owned, leased or operated by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, the non-compliance by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries with any Environmental Law (including applicable permits thereunder) applicable to any Real Property, or any Environmental Claim asserted against Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any Real Property at any time owned, leased or operated by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, including, in each case, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and other consultants incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding (but excluding any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses to the extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified or its Related Parties (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision)). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.
          (b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 13.01(a), on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or incidental damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Letter of Credit, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 13.01(a) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent the liability of such indemnified Person results from such indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).
          13.02 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies now or hereafter granted under applicable law, the Security Documents or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights or remedies, upon any Obligation becoming due and payable by the Borrower (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Credit Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of the Credit Parties to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 13.06(b), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of

-129-


 

whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured.
          13.03 Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telegraphic, telex, telecopier or cable communication) and mailed, telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, cabled or delivered: if to any Credit Party, at the address specified opposite its signature below or in the other relevant Credit Documents; if to any Lender, at its address specified on Schedule II; and if to the Administrative Agent, at the Notice Office; or, as to any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto and, as to each Lender, at such other address as shall be designated by such Lender in a written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. All such notices and communications shall, when mailed, telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, or cabled or sent by overnight courier, be effective when deposited in the mails, delivered to the telegraph company, cable company or overnight courier, as the case may be, or sent by telex or telecopier, except that notices and communications to (x) each Lender in the case of Sections 2.01(d), 2.03(a) and 3.04(c) and (y) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (in either case) shall not be effective until received by such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as the case may be.
          13.04 Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, neither Holdings nor the Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under the other Credit Documents without the prior written consent of the Lenders and, provided further, that, although any Lender may transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments and outstanding Loans hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.13 and 13.04(b)) and the transferee, assignee or participant, as the case may be, shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and, provided further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 13.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees payable hereunder), or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Revolving Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by Holdings or the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the

-130-


 

Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder in which such participant is participating or (iv) release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Subsidiaries Guaranty (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.
          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Commitments and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitments with respect to the relevant Tranche have terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to (i)(A) its parent company and/or any affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or (B) to one or more other Lenders or any affiliate of any such other Lender which is at least 50% owned by such other Lender or its parent company (provided that any fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor) shall be treated as an affiliate of such other Lender for the purposes of this sub-clause (x)(i)(B)), or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans, any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of any Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $1,000,000 in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, of such Commitments and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitments with respect to the relevant Tranche have terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating any fund that invests in loans and any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single Eligible Transferee), each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided that (i) at such time, Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (ii) upon the surrender of the relevant Notes by the assigning Lender (or, upon such assigning Lender’s indemnifying the Borrower for any lost Note pursuant to a customary indemnification agreement) new Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, (iii) the consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default under Section 11.01 or 11.05 then exists (other than with respect to an Immaterial Subsidiary), the consent of the Borrower in each case shall be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) above (each of which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof, (iv) the consent of each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender shall be required in connection with any assignment of Revolving Loan Commitments (and related Obligations) pursuant to clause (y) above (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (v) unless waived by the

-131-


 

Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 and (vi) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 13.15. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments and outstanding Loans. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to the Borrower the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate) described in Section 5.04(b). To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.13 or this Section 13.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 3.06 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.04(b) or any other provision of this Agreement, if the Borrower shall have consented thereto in writing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to effectuate assignments of Commitments and/or related outstanding Obligations via an electronic settlement system acceptable to Administrative Agent and the Borrower as designated in writing from time to time to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent (the “Settlement Service”). At any time when the Administrative Agent elects, in its sole discretion, to implement such Settlement Service, each such assignment shall be effected by the assigning Lender and proposed assignee pursuant to the procedures then in effect under the Settlement Service, which procedures shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower and shall be consistent with the other provisions of this Section 13.04(b). Each assigning Lender and proposed assignee shall comply with the requirements of the Settlement Service in connection with effecting any assignment of Commitments and/or related outstanding Obligations pursuant to the Settlement Service. Assignments and assumptions of Commitments and/or related outstanding Obligations shall be effected by the provisions otherwise set forth herein until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders of the Settlement Service as set forth herein.
          (c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with prior notification to the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower), any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.
          13.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing

-132-


 

between the Borrower or any other Credit Party and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
          13.06 Payments Pro Rata. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders entitled thereto (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.
          (b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, Unpaid Drawings, Commitment Commission or Letter of Credit Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lenders, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 13.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.
          13.07 Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by Holdings to the Lenders); provided that, (i) except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all accounting and financial terms used herein shall utilize generally accepted accounting principles and policies in conformity with those used to prepare the December 31, 2010 year-end historical financial

-133-


 

statements of Holdings and its Subsidiaries referred to in Section 8.05(a) (“Existing GAAP”) (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all such financial statements shall be prepared, and all financial covenants contained herein or in any other Credit Document shall be calculated, in each case, without giving effect to any election under FASB ASC 825 (or any similar accounting principle) permitting a Person to value its financial liabilities at the fair value thereof, (iii) to the extent expressly provided herein, certain calculations shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis, (iv) for the period from the Initial Borrowing Date through and including the Existing Holdings Notes Redemption Date, all computations and all definitions (including accounting terms) used in determining the Applicable Margins and the Incremental Commitment Requirements and compliance with Sections 2.17(a), 9.15, 10.03(vi), 10.03(vii), 10.04(xi), 10.05(xiv), 10.08(i)(y), 10.08(i)(z) and 10.07 shall be calculated as if the Existing Holdings Notes were not outstanding and as if there was no interest expense associated therewith, and (v) for the avoidance of doubt, all operating lease expense and other liabilities with respect to leases of Holdings and its Subsidiaries that would constitute operating leases under Existing GAAP shall not be included in the calculations of Indebtedness, Capital Expenditures or Consolidated Interest Expense hereunder.
          (b) All computations of interest, Commitment Commission and other Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (except for interest calculated by reference to the Prime Lending Rate, which shall be based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day; except that in the case of Letter of Credit Fees and Facing Fees, the last day shall be included) occurring in the period for which such interest, Commitment Commission or Fees are payable.
          13.08 GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN CERTAIN OF THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS, BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, IN EACH CASE WHICH ARE LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, EACH OF HOLDINGS AND THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. EACH OF HOLDINGS AND THE BORROWER HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER HOLDINGS OR THE BORROWER, AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM, IN ANY LEGAL ACTION PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS, THAT SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER HOLDINGS OR THE BORROWER. EACH OF HOLDINGS AND THE BORROWER FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE

MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO HOLDINGS OR THE BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH OPPOSITE ITS SIGNATURE BELOW, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE 30 DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING.

          13.14 Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender.

-138-


 

the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.

(a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 13.16, each Lender agrees that it will not disclose without the prior consent of Holdings and the Borrower (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors or counsel or to another Lender if such Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as such Lender) any information with respect to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, provided that any Lender may disclose any such information (i) as has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this Section 13.16(a) by the respective Lender, (ii) as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (iii) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (iv) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (v) to the extent such information is received by the Administrative Agent or Lender from a third party that is not known by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to be subject to confidentiality arrangements to Holders or any of its Subsidiaries, (vi) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (vii) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any swap, hedge or similar agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor), so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 13.16, (viii) to any prospective or actual transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Notes or Commitments or any interest therein by such Lender

-139-


 

otherwise permitted by this Agreement, provided that such prospective transferee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 13.16, (ix) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense and (x) solely to the extent that such information is independently developed by the Administrative Agent or such Lender.
          (b) Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender may share with any of its affiliates, and such affiliates may share with such Lender, any information related to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any non-public customer information regarding the creditworthiness of Holdings and its Subsidiaries), provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as such Lender.
          13.17 PATRIOT Act. Each Lender subject to the USA PATRIOT ACT (Title 111 of Pub.

          13.18 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document), the Borrower and each other Credit Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i)(A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and Lead Arrangers are arms-length commercial transactions between the Borrower, each other Credit Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers on the other hand, (B) each of the Borrower and each other Credit Party has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower and each other Credit Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Credit Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers are, and have been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lead Arranger has any obligation to the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, the other Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lead Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates.

Each Credit Agreement Party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by any Guaranteed Party with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to such Guaranteed Party shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to the relevant Credit Agreement Party.

          14.06 Reliance. It is not necessary for any Guaranteed Creditor to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guaranteed Party or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder by the relevant Credit Agreement Party.
          14.07 Subordination. Any indebtedness of any Guaranteed Party now or hereafter owing to either Credit Agreement Party is hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guaranteed Party owing to the Guaranteed Creditors; and if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness of such Guaranteed Party to such Credit Agreement Party shall be collected, enforced and received by such Credit Agreement Party for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors on account of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of either Credit Agreement Party under the other provisions of this Credit Agreement Party Guaranty.

-143-


 

Agreement Party, such Credit Agreement Party shall mark such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination.

          14.08 Waiver. (a) Each Credit Agreement Party waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Creditor’s power whatsoever. Each Credit Agreement Party waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent of such payment, based on or arising out of the disability of any Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, or the validity, legality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the any Guaranteed Party other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent of such payment. The Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Guaranteed Creditors may have against any Guaranteed Party or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of either Credit Party hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations of each Credit Agreement Party have been paid. Each Credit Agreement Party waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Credit Agreement Party against any Guaranteed Party or any other party or any security.
          (b) Each Credit Agreement Party waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including without limitation notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Credit Agreement Party Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations. Each Credit Agreement Party assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the each Guaranteed Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which each Credit Agreement Party assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the other Guaranteed Creditors shall have any duty to advise such Credit Agreement Party of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.
          (c) Until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash, each Credit Agreement Party hereby waives all rights of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Credit Agreement Party Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of the Guaranteed

-144-


 

Creditors against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Credit Agreement Party Guaranty.
          14.09 Payments. All payments made by either Credit Agreement Party pursuant to this Section 14 shall be made in Dollars and will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, and shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 5.03 and 5.04.

SCHEDULE XII
REVERSE DUTCH AUCTION PROCEDURES
This Schedule XII is intended to summarize certain basic terms of the reverse Dutch auction procedures pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement, of which this Schedule XII is a part. It is not intended to be a definitive statement of all of the terms and conditions of a reverse Dutch auction, the definitive terms and conditions for which shall be set forth in the applicable offering document. Any of the terms set forth below may be modified solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to the extent not otherwise inconsistent with the provisions of Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement. None of the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager, or any of their respective affiliates or any officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact of such Persons (together with the Administrative Agent and its affiliates, the “Agent-Related Person”) makes any recommendation pursuant to any offering document as to whether or not any Lender should sell its Term Loans to the Borrower pursuant to any offering documents, nor shall the decision by the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager or any other Agent-Related Person (or any of their affiliates) in its respective capacity as a Lender to sell its Term Loans to the Borrower be deemed to constitute such a recommendation. Each Lender should make its own decision on whether to sell any of its Term Loans and, if it decides to do so, the principal amount of and price to be sought for such Term Loans. In addition, each Lender should consult its own attorney, business advisor or tax advisor as to legal, business, tax and related matters concerning each Auction and the relevant offering documents. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Schedule XII have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.
          (a) Notice Procedures. In connection with each Auction, the Borrower will provide notification to the Auction Manager for distribution to the Lenders of the relevant Tranche of Term Loans (each, an “Auction Notice”). Each Auction Notice shall contain (i) the maximum principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Term Loans that the Borrower offers to purchase in such Auction (the “Auction Amount”), which shall be no less than $25,000,000 (unless another amount is agreed to by the Administrative Agent); (ii) the range of discounts to par (the “Discount Range”), expressed as a range of prices per $1,000 (in increments of $5), at which the Borrower would be willing to purchase Term Loans in such Auction; and (iii) the date on which such Auction will conclude, on which date Return Bids (as defined below) will be due by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) (as such date and time may be extended by the Auction Manager, such time the “Expiration Time”). Such Expiration Time may be extended for a period not exceeding three (3) Business Days upon notice by the Borrower to the Auction Manager received not less than 24 hours before the original Expiration Time; provided that only one extension per offer shall be permitted. An Auction shall be regarded as a “failed auction” in the event that either (x) the Borrower withdraws such Auction in accordance with the terms hereof or (y) the Expiration Time occurs with no Qualifying Bids (as defined below) having been received. In the event of a failed auction, the Borrower shall not be permitted to deliver a new Auction Notice prior to the date occurring three (3) Business Days after such withdrawal or Expiration Time, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower shall not initiate any Auction by delivering an Auction Notice to the Auction Manager until after the conclusion (whether successful or failed) of the previous Auction (if any), whether such conclusion occurs by withdrawal of such previous Auction or the occurrence of the Expiration Time of such previous Auction.

 


 

Page 2
          (b) Reply Procedures. In connection with any Auction, each Lender of Term Loans of the applicable Tranche wishing to participate in such Auction shall, prior to the Expiration Time, provide the Auction Manager with a notice of participation, in the form included in the respective offering document (each, a “Return Bid”) which shall specify (i) a discount to par that must be expressed as a price per $1,000 (in increments of $5) in principal amount of Term Loans (the “Reply Price”) within the Discount Range and (ii) the principal amount of Term Loans, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, that such Lender offers for sale at its Reply Price (the “Reply Amount”). A Lender may submit a Reply Amount that is less than the minimum amount and incremental amount requirements described above only if the Reply Amount comprises the entire amount of the Term Loans of such Tranche held by such Lender. Lenders may only submit one Return Bid per Auction but each Return Bid may contain up to three (3) component bids, each of which may result in a separate Qualifying Bid and each of which will not be contingent on any other component bid submitted by such Lender resulting in a Qualifying Bid. In addition to the Return Bid, the participating Lender must execute and deliver, to be held by the Auction Manager, an assignment and acceptance in the form included in the offering document (each, an “Auction Assignment and Assumption”). The Borrower will not purchase any Term Loans at a price that is outside of the applicable Discount Range, nor will any Return Bids (including any component bids specified therein) submitted at a price that is outside such applicable Discount Range be considered in any calculation of the Applicable Threshold Price.
          (c) Acceptance Procedures. Based on the Reply Prices and Reply Amounts received by the Auction Manager, the Auction Manager, in consultation with the Borrower, will calculate the lowest purchase price (the “Applicable Threshold Price”) for such Auction within the Discount Range for such Auction that will allow the Borrower to complete the Auction by purchasing the full Auction Amount (or such lesser amount of Term Loans for which the Borrower has received Qualifying Bids). The Borrower shall purchase Term Loans from each Lender whose Return Bid is within the Discount Range and contains a Reply Price that is equal to or less than the Applicable Threshold Price (each, a “Qualifying Bid”). All Term Loans included in Qualifying Bids (including multiple component Qualifying Bids contained in a single Return Bid) received at a Reply Price lower than the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at such applicable Reply Prices and shall not be subject to proration.
          (d) Proration Procedures. All Term Loans offered in Return Bids (or, if applicable, any component thereof) constituting Qualifying Bids at the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at the Applicable Threshold Price; provided that if the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans for which Qualifying Bids have been submitted in any given Auction at the Applicable Threshold Price would exceed the remaining portion of the Auction Amount (after deducting all Term Loans to be purchased at prices below the Applicable Threshold Price), the Borrower shall purchase the Term Loans for which the Qualifying Bids submitted were at the Applicable Threshold Price ratably based on the respective principal amounts offered and in an aggregate amount equal to the amount necessary to complete the purchase of the Auction Amount. No Return Bids or any component thereof will be accepted above the Applicable Threshold Price.

 


 

Page 3
          (e) Notification Procedures. The Auction Manager will calculate the Applicable Threshold Price and post the Applicable Threshold Price and proration factor onto an internet or intranet site (including an IntraLinks, SyndTrak or other electronic workspace) in accordance with the Auction Manager’s standard dissemination practices by 4:00 p.m. New York time on the same Business Day as the date the Return Bids were due (as such due date may be extended in accordance with this Schedule XII). The Auction Manager will insert the principal amount of Term Loans to be assigned and the applicable settlement date into each applicable Auction Assignment and Assumption received in connection with a Qualifying Bid. Upon the request of the submitting Lender, the Auction Manager will promptly return any Auction Assignment and Assumption received in connection with a Return Bid that is not a Qualifying Bid.
          (f) Auction Assignment and Assumption. Each Auction Notice and Auction Assignment and Assumption shall contain the following representations and warranties by the Borrower:
     (i) The conditions set forth in Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement have each been satisfied on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent that such conditions refer to conditions that must be satisfied as of a future date, in which case the Borrower must terminate any Auction if it fails to satisfy one of more of the conditions which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to an Auction.
     (ii) The representations and warranties of the Borrower and each other Credit Party contained in Section 8 of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, or which are contained in any document furnished at any time under or in connection herewith or therewith, shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than any representation or warranty that is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, which shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes hereof, the representations and warranties contained in Section 8.05(a) of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) of Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.
          (g) Additional Procedures. Once initiated by an Auction Notice, the Borrower may withdraw an Auction only in the event that, (i) as of such time, no Qualifying Bid has been received by the Auction Manager or (ii) the Borrower has failed to meet a condition set forth in Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement. Furthermore, in connection with any Auction, upon submission by a Lender of a Return Bid, such Lender will not have any withdrawal rights. Any Return Bid (including any component bid thereof) delivered to the Auction Manager may not be modified, revoked, terminated or cancelled by a Lender. However, an Auction may become void if the conditions to the purchase of Term Loans by the Borrower required by the terms and conditions of Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement are not met. The purchase price in respect of each Qualifying Bid for which purchase by the Borrower is required in accordance with the foregoing provisions shall be paid directly by the Borrower to the respective assigning Lender on

 


 

Page 4
a settlement date as determined jointly by the Borrower and the Auction Manager (which shall be not later than ten (10) Business Days after the date Return Bids are due). The Borrower shall execute each applicable Auction Assignment and Assumption received in connection with a Qualifying Bid. All questions as to the form of documents and validity and eligibility of Term Loans that are the subject of an Auction will be determined by the Auction Manager, in consultation with the Borrower, and their determination will be final and binding so long as such determination is not inconsistent with the terms of Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement or this Schedule XII. The Auction Manager’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the offering document, in consultation with the Borrower, will be final and binding so long as such interpretation is not inconsistent with the terms of Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement or this Schedule XII. None of the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager, any other Agent-Related Person or any of their respective affiliates assumes any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information concerning the Borrower, the Credit Parties, or any of their affiliates (whether contained in an offering document or otherwise) or for any failure to disclose events that may have occurred and may affect the significance or accuracy of such information. This Schedule XII shall not require the Borrower to initiate any Auction.

Opinion of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP
May 11, 2011
Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement, as hereinafter defined (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and as Collateral Agent under the Security Documents, as hereinafter defined (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”)
     and
The Lenders listed on Schedule I hereto
     Re:   Credit Agreement, dated as of May 11, 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”), among Town Sports International, LLC, a New York limited liability company (the “Borrower”), Town Sports International Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), the lending institutions identified in the Credit Agreement (the “Lenders”), certain other parties and the Administrative Agent
Ladies and Gentlemen:
     We have acted as counsel to the Borrower, Holdings and the subsidiaries of the Borrower named on Schedule II attached hereto (each, a “Subsidiary Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”; the Borrower, Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors being referred to herein collectively as the “Credit Parties”) in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the following documents:
(i) the Credit Agreement;
(ii) the Notes delivered to the Lenders on the date hereof;
(iii) the Subsidiaries Guaranty;
(iv) the Security Agreement; and
(v) the Pledge Agreement.
The documents described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (v) are collectively referred to herein as the “Credit Documents,” and the documents described in the foregoing clauses (iv) and (v) are collectively referred to herein as the “Security Documents.” Unless otherwise indicated,

 


 

         
 
  -3-  
capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement. This opinion letter is furnished to you pursuant to Section 6.03 of the Credit Agreement.
     We have examined the following:
(i)   the Credit Agreement, signed by each Credit Party that is a party thereto and by the Administrative Agent and certain of the Lenders;
 
(ii)   each other Credit Document, signed by each Credit Party that is a party thereto;
 
(iii)   unfiled copies of the financing statements listed on Schedule III hereto and denominated as “New York Financing Statements” (the “New York Financing Statements”), naming the Credit Parties indicated on such Schedule III as debtors and the Administrative Agent as secured party, which we understand will be filed in the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of New York (the “New York Filing Office”); and
 
(iv)   unfiled copies of the financing statements listed on Schedule IV hereto (the “Delaware Financing Statements”), among the Credit Parties indicated on such Schedule IV as debtors and the Administrative Agent as secured party, which we understand will be filed in the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Filing Office”).
          In addition, we have examined, and have relied as to matters of fact upon, the documents delivered to you at the closing, and upon originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such corporate and limited liability company records, agreements, documents and other instruments and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Credit Parties, and have made such other investigations, as we have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions hereinafter set forth. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. In addition, we have relied as to certain matters of fact upon the representations made in the Credit Documents.

 


 

         
 
  -4-  
     In addition, we have assumed that (1) the Credit Parties have rights in the Collateral referred to in the Security Documents that is existing on the date hereof and will have rights in property that becomes such Collateral after the date hereof, (2) “value” (as defined in Section 1- 201(44) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York (the “New York UCC”)) has been given by the Lenders to the Credit Parties for the security interests and other rights in such Collateral and (3) to the extent our opinion in paragraph 12 relates to securities purportedly represented by a certificate and issued by an issuer not organized under the laws of one of the states of the United States, such securities are “certificated securities” within the meaning of New York UCC Section 8-102(a)(4).
     In rendering the opinion set forth in paragraph 4 below with respect to the Notes, we have assumed that at the time of any execution and delivery of Notes after the date hereof, the board of directors of the Borrower (or any committee thereof acting pursuant to authority properly delegated to such committee by such board of directors) has not taken any action to rescind or otherwise reduce the prior authorization of the issuance of such Notes.
     Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:
     1. Each of the Credit Parties (a) is validly existing and in good standing as a corporation or a limited liability company, as applicable, under the law of the State of New York or Delaware, as applicable, (b) has the corporate or limited liability company power and authority, as applicable, to execute and deliver each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, to perform its obligations thereunder and to grant the security interests to be granted by it pursuant to the Security Documents and, in the case of the Borrower, to borrow thereunder, and (c) has duly authorized, executed and delivered each Credit Document to which it is a party.
     2. The execution and delivery by each Credit Party of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, the Borrower’s borrowings in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents, the performance of such Credit Party’s payment obligations thereunder and the granting of the security interests to be granted by such Credit Party pursuant to the Security Documents will not result in any violation of (a) the certificate of incorporation or the certificate of formation, as applicable, or the by-laws or limited liability company agreement, as applicable, of such Credit Party or (b) assuming that proceeds of borrowings will

 


 

         
 
  -5-  
be used in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, any federal or New York statute, the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act or any rule or regulation issued pursuant to any federal or New York statute, the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act or any order known to us issued by any court or governmental agency or body.
     3. No consent, approval, authorization, order, filing, registration or qualification of or with any federal or New York governmental agency or body or any Delaware governmental agency or body acting pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act is required for the execution and delivery by any Credit Party of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, the borrowings by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents, the performance by any Credit Party of its payment obligations under the Credit Documents to which it is a party or the granting of any security interests under the Security Documents, except filings required for the perfection of security interests granted pursuant to the Security Documents.
     4. Assuming that each of the Credit Documents is a valid and legally binding obligation of each of the parties thereto (other than the Credit Parties) and assuming that (a) execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party of the Credit Documents to which it is a party do not violate the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or any other applicable laws (excepting the federal laws of the United States, the law of the State of New York, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act) and (b) execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party of the Credit Documents to which it is a party do not constitute a breach of or default under any agreement or instrument which is binding upon such Credit Party, each Credit Document constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of each Credit Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with its terms.
     5. To our knowledge there is no action, suit or proceeding now pending before or by any court, arbitrator or governmental agency, body or official to which any Credit Party is a party or to which the business, assets or property of any Credit Party is subject, and no such action, suit or proceeding is threatened to which any Credit Party would be a party or to which the business, assets or property of any Credit Party would be subject, that in either case questions the validity of the Credit Documents.
     6. No Credit Party is an “investment company” within the meaning of, and subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 


 

         
 
  -6-  
     7. Assuming that the Borrower will comply with the provisions of the Credit Agreement relating to the use of proceeds, the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement by the Borrower and the making of the Loans under the Credit Agreement will not violate Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
     8. Each of the New York Financing Statements is in appropriate form for filing in the New York Filing Office.
     9. The Security Agreement creates in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors (as defined in the Security Agreement) a security interest in the Collateral as defined and described therein in which a security interest may be created under Article 9 of the New York UCC (the “Security Agreement Article 9 Collateral”).
     10. Upon the filing in the New York Filing Office of the New York Financing Statements, the Collateral Agent will have a perfected security interest for the benefit of the Secured Creditors in that portion of the Security Agreement Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest is perfected by filing a financing statement in the New York Filing Office.
     11. The Pledge Agreement creates in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors a security interest under the New York UCC in the investment property identified on Annex C to the Pledge Agreement (the “Pledged Investment Property”).
     12. The Collateral Agent will have a perfected security interest in the Pledged Investment Property for the benefit of the Secured Creditors under the New York UCC: (a) in the case of Pledged Investment Property constituting certificated securities, upon delivery to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors in the State of New York of the certificates representing such Pledged Investment Property in registered form, indorsed in blank by an effective indorsement or accompanied by undated stock powers with respect thereto duly indorsed in blank by an effective indorsement and (b) in the case of Pledged Investment Property constituting uncertificated securities, when the issuer has agreed that it will comply with instructions originated by the Collateral Agent without further consent by the registered owner of the Pledged Investment Property. Assuming neither the Collateral Agent nor any of the Secured Creditors has notice of any adverse claims to the Pledged Investment Property, the Collateral Agent will acquire the security interest in the Pledged Investment Property for the benefit of the Secured Creditors free of any adverse claim.
     Although we express no opinion as to the law of the State of Delaware (other than the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act), we have

 


 

         
 
  -7-  
reviewed Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of Delaware as set forth in the Commerce Clearing House, Inc. Secured Transactions Guide as supplemented through April 26, 2011 (the “Delaware UCC”) and, based solely on such review, we advise you that (a) the Delaware Financing Statements are in appropriate form for filing in the Delaware Filing Office and (b) upon the filing of the Delaware Financing Statements in the Delaware Filing Office, the Collateral Agent will have a perfected security interest for the benefit of the Secured Creditors in that portion of the Security Agreement Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest is perfected by filing a financing statement in the Delaware Filing Office.
     Our opinions in paragraphs 4, 9 and 11 above are subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Our opinion in paragraph 4 above also is subject to the qualification that certain provisions of the Security Documents may not be enforceable in whole or in part, although the inclusion of such provisions does not render the Security Documents invalid, and the Security Documents and the law of the State of New York contain adequate remedial provisions for the practical realization of the rights and benefits afforded thereby.
     Our opinions in paragraphs 8 through 11 and our advice in the second preceding paragraph above, are limited to Article 9 of the New York UCC or the Delaware UCC, as the case may be, and our opinion in paragraph 12 is limited to Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC, and, therefore, those opinion and advice paragraphs do not address collateral of a type not subject to Article 8 or 9, as the case may be, of the New York UCC or the Delaware UCC. In addition we express no opinion as to what law governs perfection of the security interests granted in the collateral covered by this opinion letter.
     We express no opinion and render no advice with respect to:
     (i) perfection of any security interest in (1) any collateral of a type represented by a certificate of title, (2) any proceeds and (3) any collateral consisting of money or Cash Equivalents;

 


 

         
 
  -8-  
     (ii) perfection of any security interest the priority of which is subject to Section 9-334 of the New York UCC;
     (iii) the priority of any security interest;
     (iv) the effect of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. Section 552) (relating to property acquired by a pledgor after the commencement of a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code with respect to such pledgor) and Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. Section 506(c)) (relating to certain costs and expenses of a trustee in preserving or disposing of collateral);
     (v) the effect of any provision of the Credit Documents that is intended to establish any standard other than a standard set forth in the New York UCC as the measure of the performance by any party thereto of such party’s obligations of good faith, diligence, reasonableness or care or of the fulfillment of the duties imposed on any secured party with respect to the maintenance, disposition or redemption of collateral, accounting for surplus proceeds of collateral or accepting collateral in discharge of liabilities;
     (vi) the effect of any provision of the Credit Documents that is intended to permit modification thereof only by means of an agreement in writing signed by the parties thereto;
     (vii) the effect of any provision of the Credit Documents insofar as it provides that any Person purchasing a participation from a Lender or other Person may exercise set-off or similar rights with respect to such participation or that any Lender or other Person may exercise set-off or similar rights other than in accordance with applicable law;
     (viii) the effect of any provision of the Credit Documents imposing penalties or forfeitures;
     (ix) the enforceability of any provision of the Credit Documents to the extent that such provision constitutes a waiver of illegality as a defense to the performance of contract obligations; and
     (x) the effect of any provision of the Credit Documents relating to indemnification or exculpation in connection with violations of any securities laws or relating to indemnification, contribution or exculpation in connection with willful, reckless or criminal acts or gross negligence of the indemnified or exculpated Person or the Person receiving contribution.
     In connection with the provisions of the Credit Documents whereby the parties submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States of America located in the State and County of New York, we note the limitations of 28 U.S.C. Sections 1331 and 1332 on subject matter jurisdiction of the federal courts. In connection with the provisions of the Credit Documents that relate to forum selection (including, without limitation, any waiver of any objection to venue or

 


 

         
 
  -9-  
any objection that a court is an inconvenient forum), we note that under NYCPLR Section 510 a New York State court may have discretion to transfer the place of trial, and under 28 U.S.C. Section 1404(a) a United States district court has discretion to transfer an action from one federal court to another.
     We do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the federal law of the United States, the law of the State of New York, the Delaware General Corporation Law, and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act.
     This opinion letter is rendered to you in connection with the above described transactions. This opinion letter may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose, or relied upon by, or furnished to, any other person, firm or corporation without our prior written consent, except that this opinion letter may be furnished to, but may not be relied upon by, any person, firm or corporation that purchases an interest in or participation in the Credit Agreement, accountants and counsel for any Lender or the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, on the basis that they make no further disclosure, bank and insurance company examiners, and to any other person pursuant to court order or judicial process.
     
 
  Very truly yours,

           with respect to a Certificated Security representing an Equity Interest (other than a Certificated Security credited on the books of a Clearing Corporation or Securities Intermediary), the respective Pledgor shall physically deliver such Certificated Security to the Pledgee, endorsed to the Pledgee or endorsed in blank;
           with respect to an Uncertificated Security (other than an Uncertificated Security credited on the books of a Clearing Corporation or Securities Intermediary), the respective Pledgor shall cause the issuer of such Uncertificated Security (unless the issuer of such Uncertificated Security is not a Subsidiary of such Pledgor) to duly authorize and execute, and deliver to the Pledgee, an agreement for the benefit of the Pledgee and the other Secured Creditors substantially in the form of Annex H hereto (appropriately completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the Pledgee and with such modifications, if any, as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Pledgee) pursuant to which such issuer agrees to comply with any and all instructions originated by the Pledgee without further consent by the registered owner and not to comply with instructions regarding such Uncertificated Security (and any Partnership Interests and Limited Liability Company Interests issued by such issuer) originated by any other Person other than a court of competent jurisdiction;

 


 

Page 11
           with respect to a Partnership Interest or a Limited Liability Company Interest (other than a Partnership Interest or Limited Liability Company Interest credited on the books of a Clearing Corporation or Securities Intermediary), if such Partnership Interest or Limited Liability Company Interest is represented by a certificate and is a Security for purposes of the UCC, the procedure set forth in Section 3.2(a)(i) hereof;

           with respect to cash proceeds from any of the Collateral described in Section 3.1 hereof which the Pledgee is entitled to retain pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, establishment by the Pledgee of a Collateral Account.
In addition to the foregoing, in the event that any Partnership Interests or Limited Liability Company Interests of any Pledgor which were not previously Securities become (A) Certificated Securities, such Pledgor shall follow the procedure set forth in Section 3.2(a)(i), or (B) Uncertificated Securities, such Pledgor shall follow the procedure set forth in Section 3.2(a)(ii), in either case, within 10 Business Days after the date that such Partnership Interests or Limited Liability Company Interests become Securities (as such period may be extended by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion).
               (b) In addition to the actions required to be taken pursuant to Section 3.2(a) hereof, each Pledgor shall from time to time cause appropriate financing statements (on Form UCC-1 or other appropriate form) under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the various relevant States, covering all Collateral hereunder (with the form of such financing statements to be satisfactory to the Pledgee), to be filed in the relevant filing offices so that at all times the Pledgee has a security interest in all Investment Property and other Collateral which is perfected by the filing of such financing statements (in each case to the maximum extent perfection by filing may be obtained under the laws of the relevant States, including, without limitation, Section 9-312(a) of the UCC).
                Subsequently Acquired Collateral. If any Pledgor shall acquire (by purchase, stock dividend or similar distribution or otherwise) any additional Collateral at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, such Collateral shall automatically (and without any further action being required to be taken) be subject to the pledge and security interests created pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof and, furthermore, the respective Pledgor will promptly thereafter take (or cause to be taken) all action with respect to such Collateral in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.2 hereof, and will promptly thereafter deliver to the Pledgee such supplements to Annexes A through G hereto as are reasonably necessary to cause such annexes to be complete and accurate at such time. Without limiting the foregoing, each Pledgor shall be required to pledge hereunder the Equity Interests of any Exempted Foreign Entity at any time and from time to time after the date hereof acquired by such Pledgor, provided that (x) a change in the relevant sections of the Code or the regulations, rules, rulings, notices or other official pronouncements issued or promulgated thereunder, no Pledgor shall be required at any

Page 13
owned by it, and to give consents, waivers or ratifications in respect thereof; provided that, in each case, no vote shall be cast or any consent, waiver or ratification given or any action taken or omitted to be taken which would violate, result in a breach of any covenant contained in, or be inconsistent with any of the terms of any Secured Debt Agreement, or which could reasonably be expected to have the effect of impairing the value of the Collateral or any part thereof or the position or interests of the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor in the Collateral, unless expressly permitted by the terms of the Secured Debt Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all such rights of each Pledgor to vote and to give consents, waivers and ratifications shall cease in case either (x) an Event of Default under Section 11.05 of the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing or (y) any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Pledgee has otherwise notified Holdings or the Borrower, and Section 7 hereof shall become applicable.

Page 14
                REMEDIES IN CASE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, then and in every such case, the Pledgee shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights, powers and remedies (whether vested in it by this Agreement, any other Secured Debt Agreement or by law) for the protection and enforcement of its rights in respect of the Collateral, and the Pledgee shall be entitled to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction and also shall be entitled, without limitation, to exercise the following rights, which each Pledgor hereby agrees to be commercially reasonable:
           to receive all amounts payable in respect of the Collateral otherwise payable under Section 6 hereof to the respective Pledgor;
           to transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the Pledgee’s name or the name of its nominee or nominees;
           to accelerate any Pledged Note which may be accelerated in accordance with its terms, and take any other lawful action to collect upon any Pledged Note (including, without limitation, to make any demand for payment thereon);
           to vote (and exercise all rights and powers in respect of voting) all or any part of the Collateral (whether or not transferred into the name of the Pledgee) and give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof (each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constituting and appointing the Pledgee the proxy and attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor, with full power of substitution to do so);
           at any time and from time to time to sell, assign and deliver, or grant options to purchase, all or any part of the Collateral, or any interest therein, at any public or private sale, without demand of performance, advertisement or, notice of intention to sell or of the time or place of sale or adjournment thereof or to redeem or otherwise purchase or dispose (all of which are hereby waived by each Pledgor), for cash, on credit or for other property, for immediate or future delivery without any assumption of credit risk, and for such price or prices and on such terms as the Pledgee in its absolute discretion may determine, provided that at least 10 days’ written notice of the time and place of any such sale shall be given to the respective Pledgor. The Pledgee shall not be obligated to make any such sale of Collateral regardless of whether any such notice of sale has theretofore been given. Each Pledgor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling the Collateral and any other security or the Obligations or otherwise. At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Pledgee on behalf of the Secured Creditors may bid for and purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption. Neither the Pledgee nor any other Secured Creditor shall be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing nor

 


 

Page 15
shall any of them be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto; and
           to set-off any and all Collateral against any and all Obligations, and to withdraw any and all cash or other Collateral from any and all Collateral Accounts and to apply such cash and other Collateral to the payment of any and all Obligations.
                REMEDIES, CUMULATIVE, ETC. Each and every right, power and remedy of the Pledgee provided for in this Agreement or in any other Secured Debt Agreement, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other such right, power or remedy. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Agreement or any other Secured Debt Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or delay on the part of the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor to exercise any such right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof. No notice to or demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. The Secured Creditors agree that this Agreement may be enforced only by the action of the Pledgee, in each case, acting upon the instructions of the Required Secured Creditors, and that no other Secured Creditor shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Pledgee for the benefit of the Secured Creditors upon the terms of this Agreement and the Security Agreement.
                APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS.

                All monies collected by the Pledgee upon any sale or other disposition of the Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, together with all other monies received by the Pledgee hereunder, shall be applied in the manner provided in the Security Agreement.
                It is understood and agreed that each Pledgor shall remain jointly and severally liable with respect to its Obligations to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral pledged by it hereunder and the aggregate amount of such Obligations.
                PURCHASERS OF COLLATERAL. Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Pledgee hereunder (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt of the Pledgee or the officer making such sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Pledgee or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or nonapplication thereof.

                INDEMNITY. Each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees (i) to indemnify and hold harmless the Pledgee and each other Secured Creditor (in their capacity as such) and their respective successors, assigns, employees, advisors, agents and affiliates (as to any Indemnitee, its “Related Parties”) (individually an “Indemnitee”, and collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all obligations, damages, injuries, penalties, claims, demands, losses, judgments and liabilities (including, without limitation, liabilities for penalties) of whatsoever kind or nature, and (ii) to reimburse each Indemnitee for all reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (limited, in the case of any Event of Default, to one counsel to the Administrative Agent, one additional counsel for all Issuing Lenders and Lenders, taken as a whole, one local counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, taken as a whole, in each relevant jurisdiction, and, solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interests, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to each group of affected Lenders similarly situated, taken as a whole), in each case arising out of or resulting from this Agreement or the exercise by any Indemnitee of any right or remedy granted to it hereunder (but excluding any obligations, damages, injuries, penalties, claims, demands, losses, judgments and liabilities (including, without limitation, liabilities for penalties) or expenses of whatever kind or nature to the extent incurred or arising by reason of gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its Related Parties (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision)). In no event shall the Pledgee hereunder be liable, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), for any matter or thing in connection with this Agreement other than to account for monies or other property actually received by it in accordance with the terms hereof. If and to the extent that the obligations of any Pledgor under this Section 11 are unenforceable for any reason, such Pledgor hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. The indemnity obligations of each Pledgor contained in this Section 11 shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the full payment of all the Notes issued under the Credit Agreement, the termination of all Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements and Letters of Credit, and the payment of all other Obligations and notwithstanding the discharge thereof.
                PLEDGEE NOT A PARTNER OR LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY MEMBER. Nothing herein shall be construed to make the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor liable as a member of any limited liability company or as a partner of any partnership and neither the Pledgee nor any other Secured Creditor by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise (except as referred to in the following sentence) shall have any of the duties, obligations or liabilities of a member of any limited liability company or as a partner in any partnership. The parties hereto expressly agree that, unless the Pledgee shall become the absolute owner of Collateral consisting of a Limited Liability Company Interest or a Partnership Interest pursuant hereto and is admitted as a member or partner of the respective Limited Liability Company or Partnership, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating a partnership or joint venture among the Pledgee, any other Secured Creditor, any Pledgor and/or any other Person.
                Except as provided in the last sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 12, the Pledgee, by accepting this Agreement, did not intend to become a member of any limited liability company or a partner of any partnership or otherwise be deemed to be a co-venturer with

 


 

Page 17
respect to any Pledgor, any limited liability company, partnership and/or any other Person either before or after an Event of Default shall have occurred.

                The Pledgee and the other Secured Creditors shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation of any Pledgor as a result of the pledge hereby effected.
                The acceptance by the Pledgee of this Agreement, with all the rights, powers, privileges and authority so created, shall not at any time or in any event obligate the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Collateral to which it is not a party, or to take any action hereunder or thereunder, or to expend any money or incur any expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under the Collateral.

          (vi) all of such Pledgor’s Collateral (consisting of Securities, Limited Liability Company Interests or Partnership Interests) has been duly and validly issued and acquired, is fully paid and non-assessable and is subject to no options to purchase or similar rights, except pursuant to a sale or other disposition transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement;

          (viii) the pledge, collateral assignment and delivery to the Pledgee of such Pledgor’s Collateral consisting of Certificated Securities and Pledged Notes pursuant to this Agreement creates a valid and perfected first priority security interest in such Certificated Securities and Pledged Notes, and the proceeds thereof, subject to no prior Lien or encumbrance or to any agreement purporting to grant to any third party a Lien or encumbrance on the property or assets of such Pledgor which would include the Securities and the Pledgee is entitled to all the rights, priorities and benefits afforded by the UCC or other relevant law as enacted in any relevant jurisdiction to perfect security interests in respect of such Collateral; and

In addition, to the extent that any Pledgor does not have an organizational identification number on the date hereof and later obtains one, such Pledgor shall promptly thereafter notify the Pledgee of such organizational identification number and shall take all actions reasonably satisfactory to the Pledgee to the extent necessary to maintain the

security interest of the Pledgee in the Collateral intended to be granted hereby fully perfected and in full force and effect.
                PLEDGORS’ OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE, ETC. Prior to the Termination Date, the obligations of each Pledgor under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation: (i) any renewal, extension, amendment or modification of or addition or supplement to or deletion from any Secured Debt Agreement or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein, or any assignment or transfer of any thereof (except to the extent that any such modification expressly and directly relates to such Pledgor’s obligations under this Agreement); (ii) any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of any such agreement or instrument including, without limitation, this Agreement; (iii) any furnishing of any additional security to the Pledgee or its assignee or any acceptance thereof or any release of any security by the Pledgee or its assignee; (iv) any limitation on any party’s liability or obligations under any such instrument or agreement or any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any such instrument or agreement or any term thereof; or (v) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to any Pledgor or any Subsidiary of any Pledgor, or any action taken with respect to this Agreement by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding, whether or not such Pledgor shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.
                TERMINATION; RELEASE. After the Termination Date, this Agreement and the security interest created hereby shall automatically terminate (provided that all indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Section 11 hereof shall survive any such termination), and the Pledgee, at the request and expense of such Pledgor, will execute and deliver to such Pledgor a proper instrument or instruments (including UCC termination statements) acknowledging the satisfaction and termination of this Agreement (including, without limitation, UCC termination statements and instruments of satisfaction, discharge and/or reconveyance), and will duly release from the security interest created hereby and, and will duly assign, transfer and deliver to such Pledgor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as may be in the possession of the Pledgee and as has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Agreement, together with any moneys at the time held by the Pledgee or any of its sub-agents hereunder and, with respect to any Collateral consisting of an Uncertificated Security, a Partnership Interest or a Limited Liability Company Interest (other than an Uncertificated Security, Partnership Interest or Limited Liability Company Interest credited on the books of a Clearing Corporation or Securities Intermediary), a termination of the agreement relating thereto executed and delivered by the issuer of such Uncertificated Security pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(ii) or by the respective partnership or limited liability company pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(iv)(2).

                At any time that any Pledgor desires that Collateral be released as provided in the foregoing Section 19(a) or (b), it shall deliver to the Pledgee (and the relevant sub-agent, if any, designated pursuant to Section 4 hereof) a certificate signed by an authorized officer of such Pledgor stating that the release of the respective Collateral is permitted pursuant to Section 19(a) or (b) hereof.
                The Pledgee shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Secured Creditor as the result of any release of Collateral by it in accordance with (or which the Collateral Agent in good faith believes to be in accordance with) this Section 19.

                PLEDGOR’S DUTIES. It is expressly agreed, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, that each Pledgor shall remain liable to perform all of the obligations, if any, assumed by it with respect to the Collateral and the Pledgee shall not have any obligations or liabilities with respect to any Collateral by reason of or arising out of this Agreement, nor shall the Pledgee be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of any Pledgor under or with respect to any Collateral.
                COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the

 


 

Page 25
same instrument. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with each Pledgor and the Pledgee.
                SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
                RECOURSE. This Agreement is made with full recourse to each Pledgor and pursuant to and upon all the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements on the part of such Pledgor contained herein and in the other Secured Debt Agreements and otherwise in writing in connection herewith or therewith.
                ADDITIONAL PLEDGORS. It is understood and agreed that any Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary of Holdings that is required to execute a counterpart of this Agreement after the date hereof pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document shall become a Pledgor hereunder by (x) executing a counterpart hereof or a Joinder Agreement and delivering the same to the Pledgee, (y) delivering supplements to Annexes A through G hereto as are necessary to cause such annexes to be complete and accurate with respect to such additional Pledgor on such date and (z) taking all actions as specified in this Agreement as would have been taken by such Pledgor had it been an original party to this Agreement, in each case with all documents required above to be delivered to the Pledgee and with all documents and actions required above to be taken to the reasonable satisfaction of the Pledgee.
                LIMITED OBLIGATIONS. It is the desire and intent of each Pledgor and the Secured Creditors that this Agreement shall be enforced against each Pledgor to the fullest extent permissible under the laws applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in furtherance of the foregoing, it is noted that the obligations of each Pledgor constituting a Subsidiary Guarantor have been limited as provided in the Subsidiaries Guaranty.
                RELEASE OF PLEDGORS. If at any time all of the Equity Interests of any Pledgor owned by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries are sold to a Person other than a Credit Party in a transaction permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement (and which does not violate the terms of any other Secured Debt Agreement then in effect), then, such Pledgor shall be released as a Pledgor pursuant to this Agreement without any further action hereunder (it being understood that the sale of all of the Equity Interests in any Person that owns, directly or indirectly, all of the Equity Interests in any Pledgor shall be deemed to be a sale of all of the Equity Interests in such Pledgor for purposes of this Section), and the Pledgee is authorized and directed to execute and deliver such instruments of release as are reasonably satisfactory to it. At any time that the Borrower desires that a Pledgor be released from this Agreement as provided in this Section 31, the Borrower shall deliver to the Pledgee a certificate signed by a principal executive officer of the Borrower stating that the release of such Pledgor is permitted pursuant to this Section 31.

     declare the entire right, title and interest of any Assignor in and to any Patents, Copyrights, Domain Names, and Marks included in the Collateral, in which event such rights, title and interest shall immediately vest in the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to exercise the power of attorney referred to in Sections 4.1 and 5.1 to execute, cause to be acknowledged and notarized and record said absolute assignment with the applicable agency or registrar;
     use or practice any Patents, Copyrights, Trade Secrets or other proprietary information, Marks, and Domain Names included in the Collateral and the goodwill of any Assignor’s business symbolized by such Marks or Domain Names and the right to carry on the business and use the assets of such Assignor in connection with which the Marks or Domain Names have been used; and
     direct any Assignor to refrain, in which event such Assignor shall refrain, from using or practicing any Patents, Copyrights, Trade Secrets or other proprietary information, Marks, and Domain Names included in the Collateral in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, and such Assignor shall execute such further documents that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to further confirm this and to transfer ownership and any registrations and pending applications to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors;
it being understood that each Assignor’s obligation so to deliver the Collateral is of the essence of this Agreement and that, accordingly, upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by such Assignor of said obligation. By accepting the benefits of this Agreement and each other Security Document, the Secured Creditors expressly acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and each other Security Document may be enforced only by the action of the Collateral Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Secured Creditors and that no other Secured Creditor shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Collateral Agent or the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Other Obligations, as the case may be, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors upon the terms of this Agreement and the other Security Documents.

Any of the Collateral may be sold, leased or otherwise disposed of, in the condition in which the same existed when taken by the Collateral Agent or after any overhaul or repair at the expense of the relevant Assignor which the Collateral Agent shall determine to be commercially reasonable. Any disposition which shall be a private sale or other private proceedings permitted by such requirements shall be made upon not less than 10 days’ prior written notice to the relevant Assignor specifying the time at which such disposition is to be made and the intended sale price or other consideration therefor, and shall be subject, for the 10 days after the giving of such notice, to the right of the relevant Assignor or any nominee of such Assignor to acquire the Collateral involved at a price or for such other consideration at least equal to the intended sale price or other consideration so specified.

If, under applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall be permitted to make disposition of the Collateral within a period of time which does not permit the giving of notice to the relevant Assignor as hereinabove specified, the Collateral Agent need give such Assignor only such notice of disposition as shall be reasonably practicable in view of such applicable law. Each Assignor agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary to make such disposition or dispositions of all or any portion of the Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at such Assignor’s expense.
          Waiver of Claims. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, EACH ASSIGNOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTICE AND JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL AGENT’S TAKING POSSESSION OR THE COLLATERAL AGENT’S DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES, and each Assignor hereby further waives, to the extent permitted by law:
     all damages occasioned by such taking of possession or any such disposition except any damages which are the direct result of the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision);

 


 

Page 16
     except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder; and
     all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof, and each Assignor, for itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it or they now or hereafter lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws.
Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the relevant Assignor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against such Assignor and against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through and under such Assignor.
          Application of Proceeds. (a) All moneys collected by the Collateral Agent upon any sale or other disposition of the Collateral (and, to the extent the Pledge Agreement or any other Security Document requires proceeds of collateral under such other Security Document to be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, all monies collected by the Pledgee or collateral agent under such other Security Document upon any sale or other disposition of the collateral under any such Security Document), together with all other moneys received by the Collateral Agent hereunder and under each other Security Document, shall be applied as follows:
     first, to the payment of all amounts owing the Collateral Agent of the type described in clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) of the definition of “Obligations”;
     second, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to preceding clause (i), an amount equal to the outstanding Primary Obligations shall be paid to the Secured Creditors as provided in Section 7.4(e) hereof, with each Secured Creditor receiving an amount equal to its outstanding Primary Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Primary Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of such amount remaining to be distributed;
     third, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to preceding clauses (i) and (ii), an amount equal to the outstanding Secondary Obligations shall be paid to the Secured Creditors as provided in Section 7.4(e) hereof, with each Secured Creditor receiving an amount equal to its outstanding Secondary Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Secondary Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of such amount remaining to be distributed; and
     fourth, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to preceding clauses (i) through (iii), inclusive, and following the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.8(a) hereof, to the relevant Assignor or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

 


 

Page 17
     (b) For purposes of this Agreement, (x) “Pro Rata Share” shall mean, when calculating a Secured Creditor’s portion of any distribution or amount, that amount (expressed as a percentage) equal to a fraction the numerator of which is the then unpaid amount of such Secured Creditor’s Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is the then outstanding amount of all Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, (y) “Primary Obligations” shall mean (i) in the case of the Credit Document Obligations, all principal of, premium, fees and interest on, all Loans, all Unpaid Drawings, all contingent reimbursement obligations equal to the Stated Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and all Fees, and (ii) in the case of the Other Obligations, all amounts due under each Interest Rate Protection Agreement and each Other Hedging Agreement with an Other Creditor (other than indemnities, fees (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) and similar obligations and liabilities) and (z) “Secondary Obligations” shall mean all Obligations other than Primary Obligations.
          (c) When payments to Secured Creditors are based upon their respective Pro Rata Shares, the amounts received by such Secured Creditors hereunder shall be applied (for purposes of making determinations under this Section 7.4 only) (i) first, to their Primary Obligations and (ii) second, to their Secondary Obligations. If any payment to any Secured Creditor of its Pro Rata Share of any distribution would result in overpayment to such Secured Creditor, such excess amount shall instead be distributed in respect of the unpaid Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, of the other Secured Creditors, with each Secured Creditor whose Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, have not been paid in full to receive an amount equal to such excess amount multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the unpaid Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, of such Secured Creditor entitled to distribution and the denominator of which is the unpaid Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, of all Secured Creditors entitled to such distribution.
          (d) Each of the Secured Creditors, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof and of the other Security Documents, agrees and acknowledges that if the Lender Creditors are to receive a distribution on account of undrawn amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued under the Credit Agreement (which shall only occur after all outstanding Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans under the Credit Agreement and Unpaid Drawings have been paid in full), such amounts shall be paid to the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and held by it, for the equal and ratable benefit of the Lender Creditors, as cash security for the repayment of Obligations owing to the Lender Creditors as such. If any amounts are held as cash security pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then upon the termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement, and after the application of all such cash security to the repayment of all Obligations owing to the Lender Creditors after giving effect to the termination of all such Letters of Credit, if there remains any excess cash, such excess cash shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Collateral Agent for distribution in accordance with Section 7.4(a) hereof.
          (e) All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made (x) if to the Lender Creditors, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender Creditors, and (y) if to the Other Creditors, to the trustee, paying agent or other similar representative (each, a

 


 

Page 18
Representative”) for the Other Creditors or, in the absence of such a Representative, directly to the Other Creditors.
          (f) For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this Section 7.4, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon (i) the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Representative or, in the absence of such a Representative, upon the Other Creditors for a determination (which the Administrative Agent, each Representative and the Secured Creditors agree (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Collateral Agent) of the outstanding Obligations owed to the Lender Creditors or the Other Creditors, as the case may be. Unless it has received written notice from a Lender Creditor or an Other Creditor to the contrary, the Administrative Agent and each Representative, in furnishing information pursuant to the preceding sentence, and the Collateral Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Secondary Obligations are outstanding. Unless it has written notice from an Other Creditor to the contrary, the Collateral Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements are in existence.
          (g) This Agreement is made with full recourse to each Assignor and pursuant to and upon all the warranties, representations, covenants and agreements on the part of such Assignor contained herein, in the Secured Debt Agreements and otherwise in writing in connection herewith or therewith. It is understood that each Assignor shall remain jointly and severally liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Obligations.
          Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy hereby specifically given to the Collateral Agent shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy specifically given to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, the other Secured Debt Agreements or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time or simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Collateral Agent. All such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of one shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise any other or others. No delay or omission of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any such right, power or remedy and no renewal or extension of any of the Obligations shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence thereof. No notice to or demand on any Assignor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. In the event that the Collateral Agent shall bring any suit to enforce any of its rights hereunder and shall be entitled to judgment, then in such suit the Collateral Agent may recover reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the amounts thereof shall be included in such judgment.
          Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Collateral Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such case the relevant Assignor, the Collateral Agent and each holder of any of the Obligations shall

 


 

Page 19
be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral subject to the security interest created under this Agreement, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.

          (d) If and to the extent that the obligations of any Assignor under this Section 8.1 are unenforceable for any reason, such Assignor hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law.

Any amounts paid by any Indemnitee as to which such Indemnitee has the right to reimbursement shall constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral.

Except as provided in Sections 10.8 and 10.12 hereof and Section 13.12(c) of the Credit Agreement, none of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Security Document may be changed, waived, modified or varied in any manner whatsoever unless in writing duly signed by each Assignor directly affected thereby (it being understood that the addition or release of any Assignor hereunder shall not constitute a change, waiver, discharge or termination affecting any Assignor other than the Assignor so added or released) and the Collateral Agent (with the written consent of the Required Secured Creditors); provided, however, (i) that any change, waiver, modification or variance affecting the rights and benefits of a single Class of Secured Creditors (and not all Secured Creditors in a like or similar manner) also shall require the written consent of the Requisite Creditors of such affected Class, (ii) supplements to the Annexes hereto and to the other Security Documents may be made without the consent of any Secured Creditor, other than the Collateral Agent, as provided herein or therein, and (iii) Assignors may be released from their obligations hereunder and under the other Security Documents and new Assignors may be added hereto and to the other Security Documents without the consent of any Secured Creditors other than the Collateral Agent, as provided herein or therein. For the purpose of this Agreement and each other Security Document, the term “Class” shall mean each class of Secured Creditors, i.e., whether (x) the Lender Creditors as holders of the Credit Document Obligations or (y) the Other Creditors as the holders of the Other Obligations.

          Obligations Absolute. The obligations of each Assignor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be impaired by, (a) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of such Assignor; (b) any exercise or non-exercise, or any waiver of, any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Secured Debt Agreement; or (c) any amendment to or modification of any Secured Debt Agreement or any security for any of the Obligations; whether or not such Assignor shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.
          Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect, subject to release and/or termination as set forth in Section 10.8 hereof, (ii) be binding upon each Assignor, its successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Assignor shall assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent (with the prior written consent of the Required Secured Creditors), and (iii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent, the other Secured Creditors and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. All agreements, statements, representations and warranties made by each Assignor herein or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by such Assignor or on its behalf under this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Creditors and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Secured Debt Agreements regardless of any investigation made by the Secured Creditors or on their behalf.

          Assignor’s Duties. It is expressly agreed, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, that, prior to the Termination Date, each Assignor shall remain liable to perform all of the obligations, if any, assumed by it with respect to the Collateral and, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.11 hereof, the Collateral Agent shall not have any obligations or liabilities with respect to any Collateral by reason of or arising out of this Agreement, nor shall the Collateral Agent be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of any Assignor under or with respect to any Collateral.
          Termination; Release. (a) After the Termination Date, this Agreement shall terminate (provided that all indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation in Section 8.1 hereof, shall survive such termination) and the Collateral Agent, at the request and expense of the respective Assignor, will promptly execute and deliver to such Assignor a proper instrument or instruments (including UCC termination statements on form UCC-3) acknowledging the satisfaction and termination of this Agreement, and will duly assign, transfer and deliver to such Assignor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as may be in the possession of the Collateral Agent and as has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, “Termination Date” shall mean the date upon which both (A) the Total Commitment under the Credit Agreement has been terminated, no Note under the Credit Agreement is outstanding and all Loans thereunder have been repaid in full, all Letters of Credit issued under the Credit Agreement have been terminated and all other Credit Document Obligations then due and payable have been paid in full and (B) unless the respective Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements specifically provide otherwise, all Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements entered into with any Other Creditor have been terminated and all Other Obligations then due and payable have been paid in full.
          (b) In the event that any part of the Collateral is sold or otherwise disposed of (to a Person other than a Credit Party in accordance with the Credit Agreement) or any other transaction expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement requires a release of the relevant Collateral (x) at any time prior to the time at which all Credit Document Obligations have been paid in full and all Commitments and Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement have been terminated, in connection with a sale or disposition permitted by the Secured Debt Agreements or is otherwise released at the direction of the Required Lenders (or all the Lenders if required by Section 13.12 of the Credit Agreement) or (y) at any time thereafter, to the extent permitted by the other Secured Debt Agreements, and in the case of clauses (x) and (y), the proceeds of such sale or other disposition (or from such release) are applied in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or such other Secured Debt Agreements, as the case may be, to the extent required to be so applied, the Collateral Agent, at the request and expense of such Assignor, will duly release from the security interest created hereby (and will execute and deliver such documentation, including termination or partial release statements and the like in connection

 


 

Page 31
therewith) and assign, transfer and deliver to such Assignor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as is then being (or has been) so sold or otherwise disposed of, or released, and as may be in the possession of the Collateral Agent and has not theretofore been released pursuant to this Agreement. Furthermore, upon the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor from the Subsidiaries Guaranty in accordance with the provisions thereof, such Assignor (and the Collateral at such time assigned by the respective Assignor pursuant hereto) shall be released from this Agreement.
          (c) At any time that an Assignor desires that the Collateral Agent take any action to acknowledge or give effect to any release of Collateral pursuant to the foregoing Section 10.8(a) or (b), such Assignor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate signed by a senior officer of such Assignor stating that the release of the respective Collateral is permitted pursuant to such Section 10.8(a) or (b). At any time that the Borrower or the respective Assignor desires that a Subsidiary of the Borrower which has been released from the Subsidiaries Guaranty be released hereunder as provided in the last sentence of Section 10.8(b) hereof, it shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate signed by a principal executive officer of the Borrower and the respective Assignor stating that the release of the respective Assignor (and its Collateral) is permitted pursuant to such Section 10.8(b).
          (d) The Collateral Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Secured Creditor as the result of any release of Collateral by it in accordance with (or which the Collateral Agent in the absence of gross negligence and willful misconduct believes to be in accordance with) this Section 10.8.
          Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Collateral Agent.
          Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
          The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Creditors. The Collateral Agent will hold in accordance with this Agreement all items of the Collateral at any time received under this Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed that the obligations of the Collateral Agent as holder of the Collateral and interests therein and with respect to the disposition thereof, and otherwise under this Agreement, are only those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in Section 12 of the Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall act hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in Section 12 of the Credit Agreement.
          Additional Assignors. It is understood and agreed that any Subsidiary Guarantor that desires to become an Assignor hereunder, or is required to execute a counterpart of this Agreement after the date hereof pursuant to the respective Secured Debt Agreements, shall

 


 

Page 32
become an Assignor hereunder by executing a counterpart hereof and delivering same to the Collateral Agent, or by executing a Joinder Agreement, (y) delivering supplements to Annexes A through G, inclusive, hereto as are necessary to cause such Annexes to be complete and accurate with respect to such additional Assignor on such date, and (z) taking all actions as specified in this Agreement as would have been taken by such Assignor had it been an original party to this Agreement, in each case with all documents required above to be delivered to the Collateral Agent and with all documents and actions required above to be taken to the reasonable satisfaction of the Collateral Agent.

Ajilon Solutions, a division of Ajilon Professional Staffing LLC (Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, 602911-09), Town Sports International, LLC (“TSI”) brought an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, against Ajilon for breach of contract, conversion, and replevin, seeking, among other things, money damages against Ajilon for breaching its agreement to design and deliver to TSI a new sports club enterprise management system known as GIMS, including failing to provide copies of the computer source code written for GIMS, related documentation, properly identified requirements documents and other property owned and licensed by TSI.

On March 7, 2011, TSI amended its complaint to add claims against Ajilon for fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

EXHIBIT I
SUBSIDIARIES GUARANTY
     SUBSIDIARIES GUARANTY, dated as of February 27, 2007 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, this “Guaranty”), made by each of the undersigned guarantors (each a “Guarantor” and, together with any other entity that becomes a guarantor hereunder pursuant to Section 26 hereof, the “Guarantors”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein and defined in the Credit Agreement (as defined below) shall be used herein as therein defined.
W I T N E S S E T H :
     WHEREAS, Town Sports International Holdings, Inc., Town Sports International, LLC (the “Borrower”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as administrative agent (together with any successor administrative agent, the “Administrative Agent”), have entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of February 27, 2007 (as amended, modified, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), providing for the making of Loans to, and the issuance of, and participation in, Letters of Credit for the account of, the Borrower as contemplated therein (the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent are herein called the “Lender Creditors”);
     WHEREAS, the Borrower and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries may at any time and from time to time enter into one or more Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements with one or more Lenders or any affiliate thereof (each such Lender or affiliate, even if the respective Lender subsequently ceases to be a Lender under the Credit Agreement for any reason, together with such Lender’s or affiliate’s successors and assigns, if any, collectively, the “Other Creditors” and, together with the Lender Creditors, the “Secured Creditors”);
     WHEREAS, each Guarantor is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Borrower;
     WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the making of Loans to the Borrower, and the issuance of, and participation in, Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and to the Other Creditors entering into Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements that each Guarantor shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent this Guaranty; and
     WHEREAS, each Guarantor will obtain benefits from the incurrence of Loans to the Borrower, and the issuance of, and participation in, Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the entering into by the Borrower and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries of Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements and, accordingly, desires to execute this Guaranty in order to satisfy the condition described in the preceding paragraph;

 


 

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other benefits accruing to each Guarantor, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Secured Creditors and hereby covenants and agrees with each Secured Creditor as follows:
     1. Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety: (i) to the Lender Creditors the full and prompt payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise) of (x) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes issued by, and the Loans made to, the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, and all reimbursement obligations and Unpaid Drawings with respect to Letters of Credit and (y) all other obligations (including, without limitation, obligations which, but for the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, would become due), liabilities and indebtedness owing by the Borrower to the Lender Creditors under the Credit Agreement and each other Credit Document to which the Borrower is a party (including, without limitation, indemnities, Fees and interest thereon (including, without limitation, any interest accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding at the rate provided for in the Credit Agreement, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in any such proceeding), whether now existing or hereafter incurred under, arising out of or in connection with the Credit Agreement and any such other Credit Document and the due performance and compliance by the Borrower with all of the terms, conditions, covenants and agreements contained in all such Credit Documents (all such principal, premium, interest, liabilities, indebtedness and obligations under this clause (i), except to the extent consisting of obligations or liabilities with respect to Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements, being herein collectively called the “Credit Document Obligations”); and (ii) to each Other Creditor the full and prompt payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise) of all obligations (including, without limitation, obligations which, but for the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, would become due), liabilities and indebtedness (including, without limitation, any interest accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding at the rate provided for in the respective Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in any such proceeding) owing by the Borrower and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement, whether now in existence or hereafter arising, and the due performance and compliance by the Borrower and such Subsidiaries with all of the terms, conditions, covenants and agreements contained in each Interest Rate Protection Agreement and Other Hedging Agreement to which it is a party (all such obligations, liabilities and indebtedness being herein collectively called the “Other Obligations” and, together with the Credit Document Obligations, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). As used herein, the term “Guaranteed Party” shall mean the Borrower and each Subsidiary thereof party to any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement with an Other Creditor. Each Guarantor understands, agrees and confirms that the Secured Creditors may enforce this Guaranty up to the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations against such Guarantor without proceeding against any other Guarantor, the Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party, against any

 


 

security for the Guaranteed Obligations, or under any other guaranty covering all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.
     2. Additionally, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably, guarantees the payment of any and all Guaranteed Obligations whether or not due or payable by the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party upon the occurrence in respect of the Borrower or any such other Guaranteed Party of any of the events specified in Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement, and unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably, jointly and severally, promises to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to the Secured Creditors, or order, on demand. This Guaranty shall constitute a guaranty of payment and performance, and not of collection.
     3. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is primary, absolute, joint and several, and unconditional and is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the indebtedness of the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party whether executed by such Guarantor, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation: (a) any direction as to application of payment by the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party or by any other party, (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a Guarantor or of any other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations, (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party, (e) the failure of a Guarantor to receive any benefit from or as a result of its execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty, (f) any payment made to any Secured Creditor on the indebtedness which any Secured Creditor repays the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each Guarantor waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, (g) any action or inaction by the Secured Creditors as contemplated in Section 6 hereof or (h) any invalidity, recission, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any security therefor.
     4. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor, any other guarantor, the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor, any other guarantor, the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party and whether or not any other Guarantor, any other guarantor, the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party be joined in any such action or actions. Each Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the benefits of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each Guarantor.

 


 

     5. Each Guarantor hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of the existence, creation or incurrence of any new or additional liability to which it may apply, and waives promptness, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, demand for performance, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment of any such liabilities, suit or taking of other action by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Creditor against, and any other notice to, any party liable thereon (including such Guarantor, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor, the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party) and each Guarantor further hereby waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice or proof of reliance by any Secured Creditor upon this Guaranty, and the Guaranteed Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended, modified, supplemented or waived, in reliance upon this Guaranty.
     6. Any Secured Creditor may (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) at any time and from time to time without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, without incurring responsibility to such Guarantor, without impairing or releasing the obligations or liabilities of such Guarantor hereunder, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in part:
     (a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change, increase or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including, without limitation, any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon or the principal amount thereof), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and the guaranty herein made shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, increased, accelerated, renewed or altered;
     (b) take and hold security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, surrender, impair, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property or other collateral by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset there against;
     (c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party, any other Credit Party, any Subsidiary thereof, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;
     (d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, Guarantors, other guarantors, the Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party, or other obligors;
     (e) settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party to creditors of the Borrower or such other Guaranteed Party other than the Secured Creditors;

 


 

     (f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party to the Secured Creditors regardless of what liabilities of the Borrower or such other Guaranteed Party remain unpaid;
     (g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, any of the Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements, the Credit Documents or any of the instruments or agreements referred to therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement any of the Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements, the Credit Documents or any of such other instruments or agreements;
     (h) act or fail to act in any manner referred to in this Guaranty which may deprive such Guarantor of its right to subrogation against the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party to recover full indemnity for any payments made pursuant to this Guaranty; and/or
     (i) take any other action or omit to take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor from its liabilities under this Guaranty.
     No invalidity, illegality, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Credit Documents, the Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or of any security or guarantee therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense to this Guaranty, and this Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and unconditional notwithstanding the occurrence of any event or the existence of any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor except payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations.
     7. This Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. No failure or delay on the part of any Secured Creditor in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Secured Creditor would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Secured Creditor to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. It is not necessary for any Secured Creditor to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its or their behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.
     8. Any indebtedness of the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the indebtedness of the Borrower or such other Guaranteed Party to the Secured Creditors, and such indebtedness of the Borrower or

 


 

such other Guaranteed Party to any Guarantor, if the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, so requests, shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Secured Creditors and be paid over to the Secured Creditors on account of the indebtedness of the Borrower or the other Guaranteed Parties to the Secured Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by any Guarantor of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any indebtedness of the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party to such Guarantor, such Guarantor shall mark such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Secured Creditors that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations that are not then due and payable); provided, that if any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the irrevocable payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Creditors and shall forthwith be paid to the Secured Creditors to be credited and applied upon the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents or, if the Credit Documents do not provide for the application of such amount, to be held by the Secured Creditors as collateral security for any Guaranteed Obligations thereafter existing.
     9. a. Each Guarantor waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable law and cannot be waived) to require the Secured Creditors to: (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other party; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other party; or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Secured Creditors’ power whatsoever. Each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other party other than payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party, any other Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations in cash. The Secured Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Creditors by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, or exercise any other right or remedy the Secured Creditors may have against the Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash in accordance with the terms thereof. Each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election by the

 


 

Secured Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Borrower, any other Guaranteed Party or any other party or any security.
     (b) Each Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional indebtedness. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s and each other Guaranteed Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Secured Creditors shall have no duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.
     10. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Guaranty, the Secured Creditors agree that this Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, in each case acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders (or, after the date on which all Credit Document Obligations have been paid in full, the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Other Obligations) and that no other Secured Creditors shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty or to realize upon the security to be granted by the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or, after all the Credit Document Obligations have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations that are not then due and payable), by the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Other Obligations, as the case may be, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors upon the terms of this Guaranty and the Security Documents. The Secured Creditors further agree that this Guaranty may not be enforced against any director, officer, employee, partner, member or stockholder of any Guarantor (except to the extent such partner, member or stockholder is also a Guarantor hereunder). It is understood and agreed that the agreement in this Section 10 is among and solely for the benefit of the Secured Creditors and that, if the Required Lenders (or, after the date on which all Credit Document Obligations have been paid in full, the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Other Obligations) so agree (without requiring the consent of any Guarantor), this Guaranty may be directly enforced by any Secured Creditor.
     11. In order to induce the Lenders to make Loans to, and issue Letters of Credit for the account of, the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and in order to induce the Other Creditors to execute, deliver and perform the Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements, each Guarantor represents, warrants and covenants that:
     (a) Such Guarantor (i) is a duly organized and validly existing corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has the corporate, partnership or limited liability company power and authority, as the case may be, to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged and presently proposes to engage and (iii) is duly qualified and is

 


 

authorized to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business requires such qualification except for failures to be so qualified which, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
     (b) Such Guarantor has the corporate, partnership or limited liability company power and authority, as the case may be, to execute, deliver and perform the terms and provisions of this Guaranty and each other Credit Document to which it is a party and has taken all necessary corporate, partnership or limited liability company action, as the case may be, to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Guaranty and each such other Credit Document. Such Guarantor has duly executed and delivered this Guaranty and each other Credit Document to which it is a party, and this Guaranty and each such other Credit Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability hereof or thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).
     (c) Neither the execution, delivery or performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty or any other Credit Document to which it is a party, nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, will (i) contravene any provision of any applicable law, statute, rule or regulation or any applicable order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii) conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien (except pursuant to the Security Documents) upon any of the property or assets of such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, credit agreement, or any other material agreement, contract or instrument to which such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound or to which it may be subject or (iii) violate any provision of the certificate or articles of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) of such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.
     (d) No order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with (except as have been obtained or made prior to the date when required and which remain in full force and effect), or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to authorize, or is required for, (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty by such Guarantor or any other Credit Document to which such Guarantor is a party or (ii) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Guaranty or any other Credit Document to which such Guarantor is a party.
     (e) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to such Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened (i) with respect to this Guaranty or any other Credit Document to which such Guarantor is a party or (ii) with respect to such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries that, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 


 

     12. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that on and after the Effective Date and until the termination of the Total Commitment and all Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements and until such time as no Note or Letter of Credit remains outstanding and all Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations that are not then due and payable), such Guarantor will comply, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply, with all of the applicable provisions, covenants and agreements contained in Sections 8 and 9 of the Credit Agreement, and will take, or will refrain from taking, as the case may be, all actions that are necessary to be taken or not taken so that it is not in violation of any provision, covenant or agreement contained in Section 8 or 9 of the Credit Agreement, and so that no Default or Event of Default is caused by the actions of such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.
     13. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each Secured Creditor in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty and of the Administrative Agent in connection with any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto (including, in each case, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel employed by each Secured Creditor).
     14. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Creditors and their successors and assigns.
     15. Neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except with the written consent of each Guarantor directly affected thereby and with the written consent of either (x) the Required Lenders (or, to the extent required by Section 13.12 of the Credit Agreement, with the written consent of each Lender) at all times prior to the time on which all Credit Document Obligations have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations that are not then due and payable) or (y) the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Other Obligations at all times after the time on which all Credit Document Obligations have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations that are not then due and payable); provided, that any change, waiver, modification or variance affecting the rights and benefits of a single Class (as defined below) of Secured Creditors (and not all Secured Creditors in a like or similar manner) shall also require the written consent of the Requisite Creditors (as defined below) of such Class of Secured Creditors (it being understood that the addition or release of any Guarantor hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof or the Credit Agreement shall not constitute a change, waiver, discharge or termination affecting any Guarantor other than the Guarantor so added or released and shall not require the consent of any Secured Creditor other than the Administrative Agent). For the purpose of this Guaranty, the term “Class” shall mean each class of Secured Creditors, i.e., whether (x) the Lender Creditors as holders of the Credit Document Obligations or (y) the Other Creditors as the holders of the Other Obligations. For the purpose of this Guaranty, the term “Requisite Creditors” of any Class shall mean (x) with respect to the Credit Document Obligations, the Required Lenders (or, to the extent required by Section 13.12 of the Credit Agreement, each Lender) and (y) with respect to the Other Obligations, the holders of at least a

 


 

majority of all obligations outstanding from time to time under the Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements.
     16. Each Guarantor acknowledges that an executed (or conformed) copy of each of the Credit Documents and Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements has been made available to a senior officer of such Guarantor and such officer is familiar with the contents thereof.
     17. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 151 of the New York Debtor and Secured Creditor Law) and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (such term to mean and include any “Event of Default” (or similar term) as defined in the Credit Agreement or in any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement entered into with any Other Creditor and shall in any event include, without limitation, any payment default under any of the Obligations continuing after any applicable grace period), each Secured Creditor is hereby authorized, at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Secured Creditor (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of such Secured Creditor wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Guarantor to such Secured Creditor under this Guaranty, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Creditor shall have made any demand hereunder and although said obligations, liabilities, deposits or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured.
     18. Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests, demands or other communications to or upon the respective parties hereto shall be sent or delivered by mail, telegraph, telex, telecopy, cable or courier service and all such notices and communications shall, when mailed, telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, or cabled or sent by overnight courier, be effective when deposited in the mails, delivered to the telegraph company, cable company or overnight courier, as the case may be, or sent by telex or telecopier, except that notices and communications to the Administrative Agent or any Guarantor shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent or such Guarantor, as the case may be. All notices and other communications shall be in writing and addressed to such party at (i) in the case of any Lender Creditor, as provided in the Credit Agreement, (ii) in the case of any Guarantor, at its address set forth opposite its signature page below, and (iii) in the case of any Other Creditor, at such address as such Other Creditor shall have specified in writing to the Borrower; or in any case at such other address as any of the Persons listed above may hereafter notify the others in writing.
     19. If any claim is ever made upon any Secured Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by

 


 

such payee with any such claimant (including, without limitation, the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party) then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon such Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any Note, any Interest Rate Protection Agreement, any Other Hedging Agreement or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.
     20. (a) THIS GUARANTY AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE SECURED CREDITORS AND OF THE UNDERSIGNED HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Guaranty or any other Credit Document to which any Guarantor is a party may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York in each case which are located in the County of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this Guaranty, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each Guarantor hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such court lacks personal jurisdiction over such Guarantor, and agrees not to plead or claim in any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Guaranty or any other Credit Document to which such Guarantor is a party brought in any of the aforesaid courts that any such court lacks personal jurisdiction over such Guarantor. Each Guarantor further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such Guarantor at its address set forth opposite its signature below, such service to become effective 30 days after such mailing. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any objection to such service of process and further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any action or proceeding commenced hereunder or under any other Credit Document to which such Guarantor is a party that such service of process was in any way invalid or ineffective. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any of the Secured Creditors to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against each Guarantor in any other jurisdiction.
     (b) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Guaranty or any other Credit Document to which such Guarantor is a party brought in the courts referred to in clause (a) above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
     (c) EACH GUARANTOR AND EACH SECURED CREDITOR (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THE BENEFITS OF THIS GUARANTY) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY, THE OTHER

 


 

CREDIT DOCUMENTS TO WHICH SUCH GUARANTOR IS A PARTY OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
     21. In the event that all of the capital stock of one or more Guarantors is sold or otherwise disposed of or liquidated in compliance with the requirements of Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement (or such sale, other disposition or liquidation has been approved in writing by the Required Lenders (or all the Lenders if required by Section 13.12 of the Credit Agreement)) and the proceeds of such sale, disposition or liquidation are applied in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, to the extent applicable, such Guarantor shall upon consummation of such sale or other disposition (except to the extent that such sale or disposition is to Holdings or another Subsidiary thereof) be released from this Guaranty automatically and without further action and this Guaranty shall, as to each such Guarantor or Guarantors, terminate, and have no further force or effect (it being understood and agreed that the sale of one or more Persons that own, directly or indirectly, all of the capital stock or other equity interests of any Guarantor shall be deemed to be a sale of such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 21).
     22. At any time a payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is made under this Guaranty, the right of contribution of each Guarantor against each other Guarantor shall be determined as provided in the immediately following sentence, with the right of contribution of each Guarantor to be revised and restated as of each date on which a payment (a “Relevant Payment”) is made on the Guaranteed Obligations under this Guaranty. At any time that a Relevant Payment is made by a Guarantor that results in the aggregate payments made by such Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment exceeding such Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage (as defined below) of the aggregate payments made by all Guarantors in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment (such excess, the “Aggregate Excess Amount”), each such Guarantor shall have a right of contribution against each other Guarantor who has made payments in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment in an aggregate amount less than such other Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage of the aggregate payments made to and including the date of the Relevant Payment by all Guarantors in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations (the aggregate amount of such deficit, the “Aggregate Deficit Amount”) in an amount equal to (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of such Guarantor and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of all Guarantors multiplied by (y) the Aggregate Deficit Amount of such other Guarantor. A Guarantor’s right of contribution pursuant to the preceding sentences shall arise at the time of each computation, subject to adjustment to the time of each computation; provided that no Guarantor may take any action to enforce such right until the Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash and the Total Commitment and all Letters of Credit have been terminated, it being expressly recognized and agreed by all parties hereto that any Guarantor’s right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 22 against any other Guarantor shall be expressly junior and subordinate to such other Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and any other obligations owing under this Guaranty. As used in this Section 22: (i) each Guarantor’s “Contribution Percentage” shall mean the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the Adjusted Net Worth (as defined below) of such

 


 

Guarantor by (y) the aggregate Adjusted Net Worth of all Guarantors; (ii) the “Adjusted Net Worth” of each Guarantor shall mean the greater of (x) the Net Worth (as defined below) of such Guarantor and (y) zero; and (iii) the “Net Worth” of each Guarantor shall mean the amount by which the fair saleable value of such Guarantor’s assets on the date of any Relevant Payment exceeds its existing debts and other liabilities (including contingent liabilities, but without giving effect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising under this Guaranty or any guaranteed obligations arising under any guaranty of the Senior Notes) on such date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Guarantor that is released from this Guaranty pursuant to Section 21 hereof shall thereafter have no contribution obligations, or rights, pursuant to this Section 22, and at the time of any such release, if the released Guarantor had an Aggregate Excess Amount or an Aggregate Deficit Amount, same shall be deemed reduced to $0, and the contribution rights and obligations of the remaining Guarantors shall be recalculated on the respective date of release (as otherwise provided above) based on the payments made hereunder by the remaining Guarantors. All parties hereto recognize and agree that, except for any right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 22, each Guarantor who makes any payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have no right of contribution or subrogation against any other Guarantor in respect of such payment until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations that are not then due and payable). Each of the Guarantors recognizes and acknowledges that the rights to contribution arising hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the party entitled to such contribution. In this connection, each Guarantor has the right to waive its contribution right against any Guarantor to the extent that after giving effect to such waiver such Guarantor would remain solvent, in the reasonable determination of the Required Lenders.
     23. Each Guarantor and each Secured Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) hereby confirms that it is its intention that this Guaranty not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act of any similar Federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Guarantor and each Secured Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) hereby irrevocably agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed by such Guarantor shall be limited to such amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other (contingent or otherwise) liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any rights to contribution pursuant to any agreement providing for an equitable contribution among such Guarantor and the other Guarantors, result in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor in respect of such maximum amount not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
     24. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

 


 

     25. All payments made by any Guarantor hereunder will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense and on the same basis as payments are made by the Borrower under Sections 4.03 and 4.04 of the Credit Agreement.
     26. It is understood and agreed that any Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to execute a counterpart of this Guaranty after the date hereof pursuant to the Credit Agreement shall become a Guarantor hereunder by (x) executing and delivering a counterpart hereof (or a Joinder Agreement) to the Administrative Agent and (y) taking all actions as specified in this Guaranty as would have been taken by such Guarantor had it been an original party to this Guaranty, in each case with all documents and actions required to be taken above to be taken to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent.
*    *    *

 


 

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Guarantor has caused this Guaranty to be executed and delivered as of the date first above written.

SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE
To the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders
party to the Credit Agreement referred to below:
     I, the undersigned, the Chief Financial Officer of Town Sports International Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), a Delaware corporation, in that capacity only and not in my individual capacity (and without personal liability), do hereby certify on behalf of Holdings as of the date hereof that, based upon current assumptions which I do not believe to be unreasonable in light of the circumstances applicable thereto:
     1. This Certificate is furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section 6.13(i) of the Credit Agreement, dated as of May [__], 2011 among Holdings, Town Sports International, LLC (the “Borrower”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (each, a “Lender” and, collectively, the “Lenders”) and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) (the “Credit Agreement”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.
     2. For purposes of this Certificate, the terms below shall have the following definitions:
  (a)   Fair Value
 
      The amount at which the assets (both tangible and intangible), in their entirety, of Holdings and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, within a commercially reasonable period of time, each having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts, with neither being under any compulsion to act.
 
  (b)   Present Fair Salable Value
 
      The amount that could be obtained by an independent willing seller from an independent willing buyer if the assets of Holdings and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) are sold with reasonable promptness in an arm’s-length transaction under present conditions for the sale of comparable business enterprises.
 
  (c)   New Financing
 
      All Indebtedness incurred or to be incurred by Holdings and its Subsidiaries in connection with the Transaction (including Indebtedness under the Credit Documents (assuming the full utilization by the Borrower of the Commitments (except for any Incremental Term Loan

 


 

      Commitment) under the Credit Agreement) and all other financings contemplated by the other Credit Documents), in each case after giving effect to the Transaction and the incurrence of all financings, redemptions and repayments in connection therewith.
 
  (d)   Stated Liabilities
 
      The recorded liabilities (including contingent liabilities that would be recorded in accordance with GAAP) of Holdings and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) as of the date hereof after giving effect to the consummation of the Transaction (which, for purposes of this Certificate, shall include the retirement and repayment on the Initial Borrowing Date of indebtedness in respect of the Refinancing and the Existing Holdings Notes Redemption Date, in each case with the proceeds of the New Financing), determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, together with the amount of the New Financing.
 
  (e)   Identified Contingent Liabilities
 
      The maximum estimated amount of liabilities reasonably likely to result from pending litigation, asserted claims and assessments, guaranties, uninsured risks and other contingent liabilities (other than such contingent liabilities included within the term “Stated Liabilities”) of Holdings and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole), after giving effect to the Transaction (including all fees and expenses related thereto but exclusive of such contingent liabilities to the extent reflected in Stated Liabilities), as identified and explained in terms of their nature and estimated magnitude by responsible officers of Holdings and the Borrower or that have been identified as such by an officer of Holdings or the Borrower, determined in accordance with GAAP.
 
  (f)   will be able to pay its or their respective Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as they mature or otherwise become payable
 
      For the period from the date hereof through the stated maturity of all New Financing, Holdings and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) will have sufficient assets and cash flow to pay its or their respective Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as those liabilities mature or otherwise become payable.
 
  (g)   does or do not have Unreasonably Small Capital
 
      For the period from the date hereof through the stated maturity of all New Financing, Holdings and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) after consummation of the Transaction and all Indebtedness (including the Loans) being incurred, issued (including the Loans and Letters of Credit)

 


 

      and Liens created by Holdings and its Subsidiaries in connection therewith, are a going concern and have sufficient capital to ensure that they will continue to be a going concern (as such term is determined in accordance with GAAP) for such period and to remain a going concern.
     3. For purposes of this Certificate, I, or officers of Holdings and/or its Subsidiaries under my direction and supervision, have performed the following procedures as of and for the periods set forth below.
  (a)   Reviewed the financial statements (including the pro forma financial statements) referred to in Section 8.05 of the Credit Agreement.
 
  (b)   Made inquiries of certain officials of Holdings and its Subsidiaries who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters regarding (i) the existence and amount of Identified Contingent Liabilities associated with the business of Holdings and its Subsidiaries and (ii) whether the financial statements referred to in paragraph (a) above are in conformity with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with that of Holdings’ audited financial statements as of December 31, 2010.
 
  (c)   Reviewed to my satisfaction the Credit Documents and the respective Schedules and Exhibits thereto.
 
  (d)   With respect to Identified Contingent Liabilities:
  1.   inquired of certain officials of Holdings and/or its Subsidiaries who have responsibility for legal, financial and accounting matters as to the existence and estimated liability with respect to all contingent liabilities associated with the business of Holdings and its Subsidiaries;
 
  2.   confirmed with officers of Holdings and/or its Subsidiaries that, to the best of such officers’ knowledge, (i) all appropriate items were included in Stated Liabilities or Identified Contingent Liabilities and that (ii) the amounts relating thereto were the maximum estimated amount of liabilities reasonably likely to result therefrom as of the date hereof; and
 
  3.   to the best of my knowledge, in making the certification set forth in paragraph 4 below, considered all material Identified Contingent Liabilities that may arise from any pending litigation, asserted claims and assessments, guarantees, uninsured risks and other Identified Contingent Liabilities of Holdings and its Subsidiaries (exclusive of such Identified Contingent Liabilities to the extent reflected in Stated Liabilities) (after giving effect to the Transaction) and with respect to each such Identified Contingent

 


 

      Liability the estimable maximum amount of liability with respect thereto was used in making such certification.
  (e)   Made inquiries of certain officers of Holdings and/or its Subsidiaries who have responsibility for financial reporting and accounting matters regarding whether they were aware of any events or conditions that, as of the date hereof, would cause Holdings and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole), after giving effect to the consummation of the Transaction and the related financing transactions (including the incurrence of the New Financing), to (i) have assets with a Fair Value or Present Fair Salable Value that are less than the sum of its or their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities; (ii) have Unreasonably Small Capital; or (iii) not be able to pay its or their respective Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as they mature or otherwise become payable.
 
  (f)   Had the Projections relating to Holdings and/or its Subsidiaries which have been previously delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, prepared under my direction based on good faith estimates and assumptions, and have re-examined the Projections on the date hereof and considered the effect thereon of any changes since the date of the preparation thereof on the results projected therein.
 
  4.   Based on and subject to the foregoing, I hereby certify on behalf of Holdings that, on and as of the date hereof and after giving effect to the consummation of the Transaction and the related financing transactions (including the incurrence of the New Financing), it is my opinion that (i) the Fair Value and Present Fair Salable Value of Holdings and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) exceed their respective Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities; (ii) Holdings and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) do not have Unreasonably Small Capital; and (iii) Holdings and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) intend to and believes that they will be able to pay their respective Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as they mature or otherwise become payable.
 
  5.   Holdings and the Borrower do not intend, in consummating the transactions contemplated by the New Financing, to delay, hinder, or defraud either present or future creditors.
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Holdings has caused this certificate to be executed on its behalf by the Chief Financial Officer of Holdings this [___]th day of April, 2011.

FORM OF SUBORDINATION PROVISIONS
     Section 1.01. Subordination of Liabilities. [Name of Payor] (the “Payor”), for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and each holder of the Note to which this Annex A is attached (the “Note”) by its acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that the payment of the principal of, interest on, and all other amounts owing in respect of, the Note (the “Subordinated Indebtedness”) is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner set forth below, to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness (as defined in Section 1.07 of this Annex A). The provisions of this Annex A shall constitute a continuing offer to all persons or other entities who, in reliance upon such provisions, become holders of, or continue to hold, Senior Indebtedness, and such holders are made obligees hereunder the same as if their names were written herein as such, and they and/or each of them may proceed to enforce such provisions.
     Section 1.02. Payor Not to Make Payments with Respect to Subordinated Indebtedness in Certain Circumstances. (a) Upon the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness (including interest thereon or fees or any other amounts owing in respect thereof), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, all Obligations (as defined in Section 1.07 of this Annex A) owing in respect of the Senior Indebtedness shall first be paid in full in cash in accordance with the terms thereof, before any payment of any kind or character, whether in cash, property, securities or otherwise, is made on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness.
     (b) The Payor may not, directly or indirectly (and no person or other entity on behalf of the Payor may), make any payment of any Subordinated Indebtedness and may not acquire any Subordinated Indebtedness for cash or property until all Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash if any event of default under the Credit Agreement (as defined in Section 1.07 of this Annex A) or any other issue of Senior Indebtedness is then in existence or would result therefrom. Each holder of the Note hereby agrees that, so long as any such event of default in respect of any issue of Senior Indebtedness exists, it will not sue for, or otherwise take any action to enforce the Payor’s obligations to pay, amounts owing in respect of the Note. Each holder of the Note understands and agrees that to the extent that clause (a) of this Section 1.02 or this clause (b) prohibits the payment of any Subordinated Indebtedness, such unpaid amount shall not constitute a payment default under the Note and the holder of the Note may not sue for, or otherwise take action to enforce the Payor’s obligation to pay such amount, provided that such unpaid amount shall remain an obligation of the Payor to the holder of the Note pursuant to the terms of the Note.
     (c) In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 1.02, the Payor (or any Person on behalf of the Payor) shall make (or the holder of the Note shall receive) any payment on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness at a time when payment is not permitted by said subsection (a) or (b), such payment shall be held by the holder of the Note, in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid forthwith over and delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or the trustee under the indenture or other agreement pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any

 


 

EXHIBIT N:
ANNEX C to SECURITY AGREEMENT
Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear (including by giving effect to any intercreditor or subordination arrangements among such holders), for application pro rata to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full in cash in accordance with the terms of such Senior Indebtedness, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness. Without in any way modifying the provisions of this Annex A or affecting the subordination effected hereby if such notice is not given, the Payor shall give the holder of the Note prompt written notice of any maturity of Senior Indebtedness after which such Senior Indebtedness remains unsatisfied.
     Section 1.03. Subordination to Prior Payment of All Senior Indebtedness on Dissolution, Liquidation or Reorganization of Payor. (a) Upon any distribution of assets of the Payor upon dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Payor (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise):
     (i) the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness in accordance with the terms thereof (including, without limitation, post-petition interest at the rate provided in the documentation with respect to the Senior Indebtedness, whether or not such post-petition interest is an allowed claim against the debtor in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding) before the holder of the Note is entitled to receive any payment of any kind or character on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness;
     (ii) any payment or distributions of assets of the Payor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities to which the holder of the Note would be entitled except for the provisions of this Annex A, shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or other trustee or agent, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued as their respective interests may appear (including by giving effect to any intercreditor or subordination arrangements among such holders), to the extent necessary to make payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness; and
     (iii) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.03, any payment or distribution of assets of the Payor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by the holder of the Note on account of Subordinated Indebtedness before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash in accordance with the terms thereof, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for and shall be paid over to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear (including by giving effect to any intercreditor or subordination arrangements among such holders)

 


 

EXHIBIT N:
ANNEX C to SECURITY AGREEMENT
for application to the payment of such Senior Indebtedness until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full in cash in accordance with the terms thereof, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.
     (b) To the extent any payment of Senior Indebtedness (whether by or on behalf of any Payor, as proceeds of security or enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise) is declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be paid to any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other similar person under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, fraudulent conveyance or similar law, then, if such payment is recovered by, or paid over to, such receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other similar person, the Senior Indebtedness or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be deemed to be reinstated and outstanding as if such payment has not occurred.
     (c) If the holder of the Note does not file a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding or other action referred to in the introduction paragraph of this Section 1.03 prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim or claims, then any of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness or their representative is hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the holder of the Note.
     (d) Without in any way modifying the provisions of this Annex A or affecting the subordination effected hereby if such notice is not given, the Payor shall give prompt written notice to the holder of the Note of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Payor (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or upon assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise).
     Section 1.04. Subrogation. Subject to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness in accordance with the terms thereof, the holder of the Note shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of assets of the Payor applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until all amounts owing on the Note shall be paid in full, and for the purpose of such subrogation no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness by or on behalf of the Payor or by or on behalf of the holder of the Note by virtue of this Annex A which otherwise would have been made to the holder of the Note shall, as between the Payor, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the holder of the Note, be deemed to be payment by the Payor to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Annex A are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holder of the Note, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.
     Section 1.05. Obligation of the Payor Unconditional. Nothing contained in this Annex A or in the Note is intended to or shall impair, as between the Payor and the holder of the Note, the obligation of the Payor, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the holder of the Note the principal of and interest on the Note as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the holder of the Note and creditors of the Payor other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the holder of the Note from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon an event of default under the Note, subject to the

 


 

EXHIBIT N:
ANNEX C to SECURITY AGREEMENT
provisions of this Annex A and the rights, if any, under this Annex A of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property, or securities of the Payor received upon the exercise of any such remedy. Upon any distribution of assets of the Payor referred to in this Annex A, the holder of the Note shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any distribution to the holder of the Note, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Payor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Annex A.
     Section 1.06. Subordination Rights Not Impaired by Acts or Omissions of Payor or Holders of Senior Indebtedness. No right of any present or future holders of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Payor or by any act or failure to act in good faith by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Payor with the terms and provisions of the Note, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. The holders of the Senior Indebtedness may, without in any way affecting the obligations of the holder of the Note with respect hereto, at any time or from time to time and in their absolute discretion, change the manner, place or terms of payment of, change or extend the time of payment of, or renew, increase or otherwise alter, any Senior Indebtedness or amend, modify or supplement any agreement or instrument governing or evidencing such Senior Indebtedness or any other document referred to therein, or exercise or refrain from exercising any other of their rights under the Senior Indebtedness including, without limitation, the waiver of default thereunder and the release of any collateral securing such Senior Indebtedness, all without notice to or assent from the holder of the Note.
     Section 1.07. Senior Indebtedness. The term “Senior Indebtedness” shall mean all Obligations (as defined below) (i) of the Payor under, or in respect of, (x) the Credit Agreement (as amended, modified, supplemented, extended, restated, refinanced, replaced or refunded from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of May [__], 2011, by and among Town Sports International Holdings, Inc., [the Payor] [Town Sports International, LLC], the lenders from time to time party thereto and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Administrative Agent, and any renewal, extension, restatement, refinancing or refunding thereof, and (y) each other Credit Document (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to which the Payor is a party and (ii) of the Payor under, or in respect of (including by reason of its Guaranty (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to the extent that the Payor is a party thereto), any Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements (each as defined in the Credit Agreement). As used herein, the term “Obligation” shall mean any principal, interest, premium, penalties, fees, expenses, indemnities and other liabilities and obligations (including guaranties of the foregoing liabilities and obligations) payable under the documentation governing any Senior Indebtedness (including post-petition interest at the rate provided in the documentation with respect to such Senior Indebtedness, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim against the debtor in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding).

 


 

EXHIBIT N:
ANNEX C to SECURITY AGREEMENT
     Section 1.08. Miscellaneous. If, at any time, all or part of any payment with respect to Senior Indebtedness theretofore made by the Payor or any other Person or entity is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the holders of Senior Indebtedness for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Payor or such other Person or entity), the subordination provisions set forth herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, all as though such payment had not been made.
