(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any outstanding Libor Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan or any outstanding Base Rate Loan to a Libor Rate Loan, provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a Libor Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan (or a continuation of a Base Rate Loan, as provided in §2.5(b)), the Borrower shall give the Agent at least three (3) Libor Business Days’ prior written notice of such election, which notice must be received by the Agent by 11:00 a.m. on any Libor Business Day, and (ii) subject to the provisos in this §2.5(a) and subject to §2.5(b) and §2.5(d), with respect to any conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a Libor Rate Loan (or a continuation of a Libor Rate Loan, as provided in §2.5(b)), the Borrower shall give the Agent at least three (3) Libor Business Days’ prior written notice of such election, which notice must be received by the Agent by 11:00 a.m. on any Libor Business Day; provided that no Loan may be converted into a Libor Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. All or any part of outstanding Libor Rate Loans may be converted to Base Rate Loans and vice versa as provided herein, provided that each Conversion Request relating to the conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a Libor Rate Loan shall be for an amount equal to $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and shall be irrevocable by the Borrower.
(b) Subject to the proviso at the end of this §2.5(b) and §2.5(d), any Libor Rate Loan may be continued automatically as such upon the expiration of the Interest Period with respect thereto as set forth in §2.5(c) or by compliance by the Borrower with the notice provisions contained in §2.5(a)(ii); provided that no Libor Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing but shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the first Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default.

The entries made in the accounts maintained by each Lender participating in such Accordion Advance pursuant to this §2.8 shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Agent to maintain any such accounts or note record, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) any Loans advanced under such or the applicable Accordion Advance made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If requested by any Lender participating in such Accordion Advance, the Borrower shall execute a promissory note with respect to such Lender’s portion of such Accordion Advance.

2.8.3 Acceding Lenders. The Borrower may invite any Lender, any Affiliate of a Lender that is an Eligible Assignee and/or, subject to Agent’s approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), one or more other commercial banks, other financial institutions or other Persons (in each case, an “Acceding Lender”) to become party to this Agreement as a Lender. Such Acceding Lender shall become a Lender hereunder by entering into an instrument of accession in substantially the form of Exhibit G hereto (an “Instrument of Accession”) with the Borrower and the Agent and assuming thereunder the rights and obligations (as the case may be) of a Lender hereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation to fund a portion of any new or replacement Tranche subject to the terms of this §2.8, and the increase to or new or replacement Tranche (as the case may be) shall be funded by the amount of such Acceding Lender’s interest all in accordance with the provisions of this §2.8.
2.8.4 Effective Date and Allocations. Upon a request by the Borrower for an Accordion Advance in accordance with this §2.8, the Agent and the Borrower shall determine, as applicable, the effective date of any such Accordion Advance (any such date, the “Accordion Funding Date”) and the final allocation of any such Accordion Advance. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders and any Acceding Lenders of the final allocation of such Accordion Advance. On any Accordion Funding Date, Schedule 2 hereto shall be amended to reflect, as the case may be, (x) the name, address, and, as the case may be, the amount of the portion of the increase to or new or replacement Tranche advanced or to be advanced by each Lender participating therein (and, if applicable, any Acceding Lender), (y) the amount of the Accordion Advance, and (z) the changes to the respective Applicable Percentages of the Lenders (after giving effect to such Accordion Advance).
2.8.5 Conforming Amendment. To the extent that conforming changes (including incorporating the Accordion Advances and pricing applicable thereto) to this Agreement must be made to effect an Accordion Advance in accordance with this §2.8, the Agent and the Borrower may enter into an amendment (a “Conforming Amendment”) effecting such changes. Any such Conforming Amendment shall not require the consent of any Person other than the Lenders participating in the applicable Accordion Advance, the Borrower and the Agent so long as such Conforming Amendment does not provide for new or amended covenants or events of default applicable to any Accordion Advance; provided, that upon the execution of any Conforming Amendment, the Agent shall distribute a copy thereof to all of the Lenders. If such Conforming Amendment provides for new or amended covenants or events of default applicable to any Accordion Advance, such Conforming Amendment shall be subject to the consent of the Majority Lenders calculated prior to giving effect to the applicable Accordion Advance.

If (x) the unpaid principal balance of any of the Tranche A Floating Rate Loans is accelerated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on or before the four-year anniversary of the Closing Date, (y) the unpaid principal balance of any of the Tranche B Floating Rate Loans or Tranche C Floating Rate Loans is accelerated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on or before the five-year anniversary of the Closing Date, or (z) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent otherwise applies the Borrower’s funds held by it to the repayment of any portion of the unpaid principal balance of any of the Floating Rate Loans, the Floating Rate Prepayment Premium shall be due and payable and equal to the amount obtained by multiplying the applicable percentage indicated in clauses (i) and (ii) of this §3.2.1(b) by the amount of principal being prepaid at the time of such acceleration or application.
3.2.2 Fixed Rate Loans.
(a) Subject to the terms of §3.2.2(b), so long as no Default or Event of Default shall then exist, the Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Fixed Rate Loans (including, without limiting §3.2.3(b), the prepayment of the Fixed Rate Loans of a single Tranche), in whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium other than as provided in §3.2.2(b). The Borrower shall give the Agent not less than ten (10) days prior written notice of any proposed prepayment pursuant to this §3.2.2(a) of Fixed Rate Loans specifying the proposed date of prepayment of such Loans. Each such partial prepayment of the Fixed Rate Loans shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the then outstanding balance of the Fixed Rate Loans of the applicable Tranche (or, if applicable, the outstanding balance of all Fixed Rate Loans) and shall be accompanied by the payment of all charges, if any, outstanding on all Fixed Rate Loans so prepaid and of all accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment.

 

41


 

(b) The Borrower shall not make a voluntary prepayment, in whole or in part, on (i) any Tranche A Fixed Rate Loan during the first year of the term thereof, (ii) any Tranche B Fixed Rate Loan during the first two (2) years of the term thereof, or (iii) any Tranche C Fixed Rate Loan during the first three (3) years of the term thereof (each of the foregoing periods, a “Fixed Rate Prepayment Lockout Period”). In connection with any prepayment of any Tranche A Fixed Rate Loan, Tranche B Fixed Rate Loan or Tranche C Fixed Rate Loan, except during the last year of the term thereof, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the accounts of the applicable Lenders, simultaneously with and as a condition to such prepayment, a prepayment premium calculated in accordance with the Prepayment Premium Schedule attached hereto as Schedule 3.2.2(b) (the “Fixed Rate Prepayment Premium”). If the unpaid principal balance of any of the Fixed Rate Loans is accelerated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement during the Fixed Rate Prepayment Lockout Period applicable thereto or, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent otherwise applies the Borrower’s funds held by it to the repayment of any portion of the unpaid principal balance of any of the Fixed Rate Loans, the Fixed Rate Prepayment Premium shall be due and payable and equal to the amount obtained by multiplying the percentage indicated in the Prepayment Premium Schedule by the amount of principal being prepaid at the time of such acceleration or application.
3.2.3 Generally.
(a) In connection with any prepayment of any of the Loans, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that interest shall always be calculated and paid through the date on which the prepayment of such Loan occurs.
(b) At any time, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists and is continuing, any prepayment that is permitted under §§3.2.1 or 3.2.2 shall be applied against the Obligations by Tranche, by Type or both, in such order as the Borrower may elect by written notice delivered to the Agent no later than one (1) Business Day before the Intended Prepayment Date, and each such prepayment shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the Obligations payable to the Lenders holding the Loans of the Type or Tranche (or both) being prepaid, provided that if the Borrower does not timely deliver such written notice, such prepayment shall be applied to the Obligations payable to all of the Lenders on a pro rata basis.

§4. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.
§4.1 Funds for Payments.

 

42


 

(a) All payments of principal, interest, fees, and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders or (as the case may be) the Agent, at the Agent’s Head Office, in each case in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of and interest on the Term Loans and of fees hereunder not later than 12:00 p.m. (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the due date thereof.
(b) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require the Borrower or the Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by the Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.
(c) If the Borrower or the Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.
(d) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (b) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.
(e) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (b) or (d) above, the Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Agent and each Lender and shall make payment in respect thereof within 15 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this §4.1) withheld or deducted by the Borrower or the Agent or paid by the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The Borrower shall also, and does hereby, indemnify the Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Agent as required by subsection (f) of this §4.1. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of Lender, shall be prima facie evidence that such amounts are due and owing.

 

43


 

(f) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Borrower and the Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Borrower or the Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Borrower or the Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender to the Borrower or the Agent pursuant to subsection (h) of this §4.1. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.
(g) Upon request by the Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or by the Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this §4.1, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent or the Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be.
(h) (i) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States,
(A) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and

 

44


 

(B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
  (I)   executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,
  (II)   executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,
  (III)   executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation,
  (IV)   in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or
  (V)   executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

 

45


 

(C) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times prescribed in law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and without from such payment. Solely for purposes of this §4.1(h)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(i) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower and the Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that the Borrower or the Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.
(j) Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If the Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such Lender in the event the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

§4.2 Computations. All computations of interest on Libor Rate Loans and Fixed Rate Loans and of other fees to the extent applicable shall be based on a 360-day year, and all computations of interest on Base Rate Loans shall be based on a 365/366-day year, in each case paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to Libor Rate Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The outstanding amount of the Loans as reflected on the Note Records or record attached to any other Note from time to time shall constitute prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof.
§4.3 Inability to Determine Libor Rate. In the event, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any Libor Rate Loan, the Agent shall determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining the Libor Rate that would otherwise determine the rate of interest to be applicable to any Libor Rate Loan during any Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) to the Borrower and the Lenders. In such event, (a) any Loan Request with respect to Libor Rate Loans shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed to be a request for Base Rate Loans, and (b) each Libor Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, become a Base Rate Loan, and the obligations of the Lenders to make Libor Rate Loans shall be suspended, in each case unless and until the Agent determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Agent shall so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, and at the Borrower’s option, such Base Rate Loans shall be converted to Libor Rate Loans pursuant to a Conversion Request submitted by the Borrower in accordance with §2.5.
§4.4 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Libor Rate Loans, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Agent and the Borrower and thereupon (a) the Commitment of such Lender to make or continue Libor Rate Loans or convert Base Rate Loans to Libor Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended and (b) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of Libor Rate Loans then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Libor Rate Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law, all until such time as it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Libor Rate Loans, whereupon such Lender shall so notify the Agent and the Borrower promptly, and at the Borrower’s option, such Base Rate Loans shall be converted to Libor Rate Loans pursuant to a Conversion Request submitted by the Borrower in accordance with §2.5. The Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay the Agent for the account of such Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for Libor Breakage Costs incurred by such Lender in making any conversion required by this §4.4 prior to the last day of an Interest Period.

 

47


 

§4.5 Additional Costs, Etc. If any Change in Law shall:
(a) subject any Lender or the Agent to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, such Lender’s Commitment or the Loans (other than Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by §4.1), or
(b) change the basis of taxation (other than with respect to (i) Excluded Taxes and (ii) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by §4.1) of payments to any Lender of the principal of or the interest on any Loans or any other amounts payable to the Agent or any Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or
(c) impose or increase or render applicable (other than to the extent specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement) any special deposit, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law) against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or letters of credit issued by, or commitments of an office of any Lender, or
(d) impose on any Lender or the Agent any other conditions or requirements with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Loans, such Lender’s Commitment, or any class of loans or commitments of which any of the Loans or such Lender’s Commitment forms a part;
and the result of any of the foregoing is
(A) to increase the cost to any Lender of making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of the Loans or such Lender’s Commitment, or
(B) to reduce the amount of principal, interest or other amount payable to such Lender or the Agent hereunder on account of such Lender’s Commitment or any of the Loans, or
(C) to require such Lender or the Agent to make any payment or to forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Lender or the Agent from the Borrower hereunder,
then, and in each such case, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand made by the Agent or such Lender (such demand to be made promptly by the Agent or such Lender upon the making of any such determination), at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Lender or the Agent such additional amounts as such Lender or the Agent shall determine in good faith to be sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Agent for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum, provided that such Lender or the Agent is generally imposing similar charges on its other similarly situated borrowers. The Agent shall provide the Borrower with a calculation, in reasonable detail, of such amounts in accordance with its customary practices.

 

48


 

§4.6 Capital Adequacy. If any Change in Law affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by banks or bank holding companies and any Lender or the Agent determines that the amount of capital required to be maintained by it is increased by or based upon the existence of Loans made or deemed to be made pursuant hereto, then such Lender or the Agent may notify the Borrower of such fact, and the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or the Agent from time to time, promptly upon demand made by the Agent or such Lender (such demand to be made promptly by the Agent or such Lender upon the making of any such determination), as an additional fee payable hereunder, such amount as such Lender or the Agent shall determine reasonably and in good faith and certify in a notice to the Borrower to be an amount that will adequately compensate such Lender in light of these circumstances for its increased costs of maintaining such capital. Each Lender and the Agent shall allocate such cost increases among its customers in good faith and on an equitable basis, and will not charge the Borrower unless it is generally imposing a similar charge on its other similarly situated borrowers. The Agent shall provide the Borrower with a calculation, in reasonable detail, of such amounts in accordance with its customary practices.
§4.7 Certificate; Limitations. A certificate setting forth any additional amounts payable pursuant to §§4.5 or 4.6 and a brief explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Lender or the Agent to the Borrower, shall be prima facie evidence that such amounts are due and owing; provided, that none of the Agent or Lenders shall be entitled to claim any such amount pursuant to §§4.5 or 4.6 if such Person fails to provide such notice to the Borrower within 180 days of the date Agent or such Lender becomes aware of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the amount it claims as being owed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 4, if any Lender requests compensation under §§4.5 or 4.6, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to §4.1, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to §4.4, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to §§4.1, 4.5 or 4.6, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to §4.4, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
§4.8 Indemnity. In addition to the other provisions of this Agreement regarding such matters, the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Lender and to hold the Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense that the Agent or such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) a default by the Borrower in the payment of any principal amount of or any interest on any Libor Rate Loans as and when due and payable, including any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by the Agent or such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its Libor Rate Loans, (b) the failure by the Borrower to make a borrowing or conversion or continuation of a Libor Rate Loan after the Borrower has given a Loan Request for the same, and (c) the making of any payment of a Libor Rate Loan or the conversion of any such Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect thereto, including interest or fees payable by the Agent or a Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain any such Libor Rate Loans.

§4.9 Interest After Default.
(a) Overdue Amounts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) interest on the Loans and all other overdue amounts payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall bear interest at the rate otherwise applicable thereto plus 2%, compounded daily until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment).
(b) Amounts Not Overdue. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the option of the Majority Lenders, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the unpaid principal balance of all Obligations not overdue shall bear interest at the rate otherwise applicable thereto plus 2% until such Event of Default is cured or waived to the satisfaction of the Agent and the Majority Lenders.
§4.10 Right to Replace Lender. If (w) a Lender requests compensation or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amounts pursuant to §§4.1(b), 4.5 or 4.6, (x) a Lender’s obligations with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans are suspended pursuant to §4.4, (y) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent which requires the approval of each Lender or each Lender directly affected thereby, and with respect to which approvals from the Majority Lenders have been obtained, a Lender that has not given, or been deemed to have given, its approval of such matter, or (z) a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, the Borrower may demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”) assign its Commitment to an Eligible Assignee designated by the Borrower and approved by the Agent (or designated by the Agent and approved by the Borrower), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly assign its Commitment to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of §20.1 for a purchase price equal to the aggregate principal balance of the Loans then owing to the Affected Lender, plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender (or such lesser amount as may be agreed on by the Affected Lender and such Eligible Assignee) and upon such assignment the Borrower shall pay the fee specified in §20.3. Subject to the approval rights of the Agent, each of the Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this §4.10.
§4.11 Reserved.
§4.12 Defaulting Lenders.

 

50


 

4.12.1 Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
(a) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in §28.
(b) Reallocation of Payments. A Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower, whether on account of the outstanding Term Loan, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining non-defaulting Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans. The Defaulting Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to distribute such payments to the non-defaulting Lenders in proportion to their respective pro rata shares of the outstanding Term Loans. If not previously satisfied directly by the Defaulting Lender, a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have satisfied in full a delinquency when and if, as a result of application of the assigned payments to the outstanding Term Loan of the nondelinquent Lenders, the Lenders’ respective pro rata shares of the outstanding Term Loan have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency.
(c) Fees. That Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
4.12.2 Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitment Percentages, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
§5. RESERVED.
§6. RECOURSE OBLIGATIONS. The Obligations are full recourse obligations of the Borrower, and all of the respective assets and properties of the Borrower shall be available for the payment in full in cash and performance of the Obligations.

(b) Reserved.
(c) The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Agent and/or the Arranger will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on SyndTrak or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. The Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall, upon the request of the Agent, be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws; (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (z) the Agent and the Arranger shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be under no obligation to mark any such materials “PUBLIC”, and each Public Lender shall designate to the Agent one or more persons who are entitled to receive and view any such materials containing material non public information to the same extent as Lenders that are not Public Lenders.

 

67


 

(d) Each of the Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any third party that may be invited to become a party to, and a “Lender” under, this Agreement in connection with an Accordion Advance pursuant to §2.8 of this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
Each of the Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.
§8.11 Compliance with Laws, Contracts, Licenses, and Permits. The Borrower and the Trust will comply with, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to comply with (a) all applicable laws and regulations now or hereafter in effect wherever its business is conducted that are material in any respect to the operation of their respective businesses in the ordinary course and consistent with past practices, including, without limitation, all such Environmental Laws and all such applicable federal and state securities laws, except where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a

Material Adverse Effect, (b) the provisions of its partnership agreement or corporate charter and other Organizational Documents, as applicable, (c) all material agreements and instruments to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound (including the Real Estate Assets and the Leases), except where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (d) all applicable decrees, orders, and judgments, except where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. If at any time while any Loan or Note or other Obligations is outstanding, any Permit shall become necessary or required in order that the Borrower may fulfill any of its obligations hereunder, the Borrower and the Trust and their respective Subsidiaries will immediately take or cause to be taken all reasonable steps within the power of the Borrower or the Trust, as applicable, to obtain such Permit and furnish the Agent with evidence thereof.
§8.12 Use of Proceeds. Subject at all times to the other provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation §7.17, the Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans solely to finance the acquisition, development and rehabilitation of Permitted Properties and for its working capital and general corporate purposes.
§8.13 Additional Borrower; Solvency of Borrower; Removal of Borrower; Addition of Real Estate Asset to Unencumbered Pool.
(a) (i) If, after the Closing Date, FPLP wishes to designate as an Eligible Unencumbered Property a Real Estate Asset that otherwise qualifies as an Eligible Unencumbered Property but is owned by a Person other than the Borrower, FPLP shall cause such Person (which Person must be a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of FPLP) to become a party to this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents prior to such Real Estate Asset becoming an Eligible Unencumbered Property hereunder. The liability of each Person which is from time to time a Borrower hereunder shall be joint and several with each other Borrower for all Obligations for so long as such Borrower is a Borrower hereunder (provided that FPLP shall at all times be a Borrower hereunder).
(ii) At any time and from time to time, in connection with the sale or other permanent disposition or the refinancing with secured mortgage Indebtedness, but only for so long as no Default or Event of Default shall then exist, FPLP may notify Agent, in writing (each, a “Release Notice”), that the Borrower would like one (1) or more Eligible Unencumbered Properties to be removed from the Unencumbered Pool. Such Release Notice shall be accompanied by a Certificate of Compliance in the form of Exhibit C, evidencing compliance with §2.1 and §10 after giving effect to the requested release and a certification that no Default or Event of Default exists or would result from such removal. Upon the Agent’s receipt of such Release Notice, such Eligible Unencumbered Properties (each, a “Released Property”) shall be removed from the Unencumbered Pool and any Subsidiary which is the owner of a Released Property (and is not the owner of any other Eligible Unencumbered Property) and which is then a Borrower (other than FPLP) hereunder shall be released from its obligations hereunder (including the Obligations). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will any Eligible Unencumbered Property be permitted to be released hereunder without the approval of the Majority Lenders if, at the time of such release and after giving effect thereto, the Unencumbered Pool will have fewer than six (6) Real Estate Assets or the Value of Unencumbered Properties will be less than $100,000,000.

 

69


 

(iii) FPLP will not permit any Borrower (other than FPLP) that owns any Eligible Unencumbered Property to have any Subsidiaries unless such Subsidiary’s business, obligations and undertakings are exclusively related to the business of such Borrower.
(b) The Borrower and the Trust, on a consolidated basis, shall remain solvent at all times.
(c) Prior to the addition of any Real Estate Asset to the Unencumbered Pool, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent (i) a written request to add such Real Estate Asset to the Unencumbered Pool, (ii) the Joinder Documents, if applicable, (iii) a current rent roll and operating statement for such Real Estate Asset, (iv) a Certificate of Compliance in the form of Exhibit C evidencing compliance with §2.1 and §10 after giving effect to the requested addition, and including a certification that such Real Estate Asset is not the subject of a Disqualifying Environmental Event or a Disqualifying Structural Event, and (v) any other documents, certificates, instruments or agreements reasonably requested by the Agent.
Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph of this clause (c), if the Value of Unencumbered Properties exceeds $200,000,000, the Borrower need not deliver to the Agent the items referred to in this clause (c) prior to the inclusion of such Real Estate Asset in the Unencumbered Pool (except to the extent a Joinder Agreement and related Joinder Documents are required to add a new Borrower in accordance with the terms hereof), but shall deliver them when and as required under § 8.4.
(d) In the event the Borrower wishes to add a Real Estate Asset to the Unencumbered Pool which does not meet one or more of the Unencumbered Property Conditions or the provisions of §8.13(c), such Real Estate Asset may be included in the Unencumbered Pool with the approval of the Majority Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, the Agent and the Lenders have consented, in their sole discretion, to the inclusion of the Redland Property in the Unencumbered Pool, subject to the satisfaction of the Redland Conditions. Borrower has certified in the Compliance Certificate dated as of even date and executed and delivered by Borrower contemporaneously herewith that the Redland Conditions have been satisfied, and FP Redland Tech has joined as a Borrower in the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
§8.14 Further Assurances. The Borrower and the Trust will cooperate with the Agent and the Lenders and execute such further instruments and documents as the Lenders or the Agent shall reasonably request to carry out to their satisfaction the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

§8.15 Interest Rate Protection. In the event that the Borrower’s floating rate Indebtedness that is not otherwise subject to interest rate protection arrangements at any time exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of Consolidated Gross Asset Value, the Borrower shall obtain and maintain in effect interest rate protection arrangements (by means of hedging techniques or vehicles such as interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, interest rate corridors or interest rate collars (or other mechanism approved by the Agent), in each case to be capped at a rate reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent) (an “Interest Rate Protection Arrangement”) for a term and in an amount reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. Once obtained, the Borrower shall maintain such arrangements in full force and effect as provided therein, and shall not, without the approval of the Agent, modify, terminate, or transfer such arrangements during the period in which the Borrower’s floating rate Indebtedness exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of Consolidated Gross Asset Value.
§8.16 Environmental Indemnification. The Borrower and the Trust each covenants and agrees that it will indemnify and hold the Agent and each Lender, and each of their respective Affiliates, harmless from and against any and all claims, expense, damage, loss or liability incurred by the Agent or any Lender (including all reasonable costs of legal representation incurred by the Agent or any Lender, but excluding, as applicable, for the Agent or a Lender any claim, expense, damage, loss or liability as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates) relating to (a) any Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances on any Real Estate Asset; (b) any violation of any Environmental Laws with respect to conditions at any Real Estate Asset or the operations conducted thereon; (c) the investigation or remediation of off-site locations at which the Borrower, the Trust or any of their respective Subsidiaries or their predecessors are alleged to have directly or indirectly disposed of Hazardous Substances; or (d) any action, suit, proceeding or investigation brought or threatened with respect to any Hazardous Substances relating to Real Estate Assets (including, but not limited to, claims with respect to wrongful death, personal injury or damage to property). It is expressly acknowledged by the Borrower that, notwithstanding the introductory paragraph of this §8, this covenant of indemnification shall survive the repayment of the amounts owing under the Notes and this Agreement and the termination of this Agreement and the obligations of the Lenders hereunder and shall inure to the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, their respective successors, and their respective assigns under the Loan Documents permitted under this Agreement.
§8.17 Response Actions. The Borrower covenants and agrees that if any Release or disposal of Hazardous Substances shall occur or shall have occurred on any Real Estate Asset owned directly or indirectly by the Borrower or the Trust, in violation of applicable Environmental Laws, the Borrower will cause the prompt containment and removal of such Hazardous Substances and remediation of such wholly-owned Real Estate Asset as necessary to comply with all Environmental Laws or to preserve the value of any applicable Eligible Unencumbered Property.

 

71


 

§8.18 Environmental Assessments. If the Agent reasonably believes, after discussion with the Borrower and review of any environmental reports provided by the Borrower, that a Disqualifying Environmental Event has occurred with respect to any one or more of the Eligible Unencumbered Properties, whether or not a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred, the Agent may, from time to time, for the purpose of assessing and determining whether a Disqualifying Environmental Event has in fact occurred, cause the Borrower to obtain one or more environmental assessments or audits of such Eligible Unencumbered Property prepared by a hydrogeologist, an independent engineer or other qualified consultant or expert approved by the Agent to evaluate or confirm (i) whether any Hazardous Substances are present in the soil or water at such Eligible Unencumbered Property and (ii) whether the use and operation of such Eligible Unencumbered Property complies with all Environmental Laws. Environmental assessments may include without limitation detailed visual inspections of such Eligible Unencumbered Property including, without limitation, any and all storage areas, storage tanks, drains, dry wells and leaching areas, and, if and to the extent reasonable, appropriate and required pursuant to applicable Environmental Laws, the taking of soil samples, surface water samples and ground water samples, as well as such other investigations or analyses as the Agent deems appropriate. All such environmental assessments shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.
§8.19 Employee Benefit Plans.
(a) Notice. The Borrower and the Trust will notify the Agent (with copies to the Agent for each Lender) at least thirty (30) days prior to the establishment of any Employee Benefit Plan, or becoming obligated to contribute to or to increase its contribution to any Multiemployer Plan or the establishment of any Guaranteed Pension Plan or the amendment of any such Guaranteed Pension Plan in a manner so as to materially increase the benefits or funding obligations under such Guaranteed Pension Plan by any of them or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates other than those Employee Benefit Plans, Multiemployer Plans or Guaranteed Pension Plans disclosed on Schedule 8.19 attached hereto or disclosed in the SEC Filings, and neither the Borrower nor the Trust will establish any Employee Benefit Plan, Multiemployer Plan or Guaranteed Pension Plan which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) In General. Each Employee Benefit Plan maintained by the Borrower, the Trust or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates will be operated in compliance with the provisions of ERISA and, to the extent applicable, the Code, including but not limited to the provisions thereunder respecting prohibited transactions.
(c) Terminability of Welfare Plans. With respect to each Employee Benefit Plan maintained by the Borrower, the Trust or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates which is an employee welfare benefit plan within the meaning of §3(l) or §3(2)(B) of ERISA, the Borrower, the Trust, or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates, as the case may be, shall have the right to terminate each such plan at any time (or at any time subsequent to the expiration of any applicable bargaining agreement) without liability other than liability to pay claims incurred prior to the date of termination.
(d) Unfunded or Underfunded Liabilities. None of the Borrower, the Trust nor any ERISA Affiliate will at any time have accruing or accrued unfunded or underfunded liabilities with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan (other than with respect to any employee welfare benefit plan within the meaning of §3(l) or §3(2)(B) of ERISA or any plan that is described in §201(2) or §201(7) of ERISA), Guaranteed Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan, or permit any condition to exist under any Multiemployer Plan that would create a withdrawal liability.

Without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall the Borrower or the Trust cause or permit the Organizational Documents of FP Redland Tech, including, without limitation, the FP Redland Tech Partnership Agreement, to be modified, amended or supplemented in any respect whatsoever to the extent the same is prohibited by clause (iv) of the definition of the Redland Conditions without the express prior written consent of the Agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this §14.1, in the event of a Default or Event of Default arising as a result of the inclusion of any Real Estate Asset in the Unencumbered Pool at any particular time of reference, if such Default or Event of Default is capable of being cured by the exclusion of such Real Estate Asset from the Unencumbered Pool in accordance with, and subject to, §8.13 and with all other covenant calculations under §10 or otherwise, the Borrower shall be permitted a period not to exceed five (5) days to submit to the Agent (with copies to the Agent for each Lender) a compliance certificate in the form of Exhibit C hereto evidencing compliance with §2.1 and with all of the covenants set forth in §10 (with calculations evidencing such compliance after excluding from Adjusted Net Operating Income all of the Adjusted Net Operating Income generated by the Real Estate Asset to be excluded from the Unencumbered Pool) and with the Unencumbered Property Conditions, and otherwise certifying that, after giving effect to the exclusion of such Real Estate Asset from the Unencumbered Pool, no Default or Event of Default will be continuing.

No remedy herein conferred upon the Lenders or the Agent or the holder of any Note is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law.

 

88

§15. SET-OFF.
§15.1 Reserved.
§15.2 Set-Off and Debit. (i) If any Event of Default or other event which would entitle the Agent to accelerate the Loans occurs, or (ii) at any time, whether or not any Default or Event of Default exists, in the event any attachment, trustee process, garnishment, or other levy or lien is, or is sought to be, imposed on any property of the Borrower; then, in any such event, any such deposits, balances or other sums credited by or due from the Agent or any Lender, or from any such affiliate of the Agent or any Lender, to the Borrower may to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law at any time or from time to time, without regard to the existence, sufficiency or adequacy of any other collateral, and without notice or compliance with any other condition precedent now or hereafter imposed by statute, rule of law or otherwise, all of which are hereby waived, be set off, debited and appropriated, and applied by the Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, against any or all of the Obligations irrespective of whether demand shall have been made and although such Obligations may be unmatured, in such manner as the Agent or the applicable Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may determine. Within five (5) Business Days of making any such set off, debit or appropriation and application, each Lender agrees to notify the Agent and the Borrower thereof (or in the case of any such set off, debit or appropriation and application by the Agent, the Agent agrees to notify the Borrower thereof), provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off, debit or appropriation and application. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOANS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that (a) if an amount to be set off is to be applied to indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender, other than the Obligations owing to such Lender, such amount shall be applied ratably to such other indebtedness and to the Obligations owing to such Lender, and (b) if such Lender shall receive from the Borrower, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, counterclaim, cross action, enforcement of the Obligations owing to such Lender by proceedings against the Borrower at law or in equity or by proof thereof in bankruptcy, reorganization liquidation, receivership or similar proceedings, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender, any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders with respect to the Obligations owing to all of the Lenders, such Lender will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Lender receiving in respect of the Obligations owing to it its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
§15.3 Reserved.
§15.4 Additional Rights. The rights of the Agent, the Lenders and each affiliate of Agent and each of the Lenders under this Section 15 are in addition to, and not in limitation of, other rights and remedies, including other rights of set off, which the Agent or any Lender may have.

§16. THE AGENT.
§16.1 Authorization. (a) The Agent is authorized to take such action on behalf of each of the Lenders and to exercise all such powers as are hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents and any related documents delegated to the Agent, together with such powers as are reasonably incident thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the Agent. The relationship between the Agent and the Lenders is and shall be that of agent and principal only, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute the Agent as a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender.
(b) The Borrower, without further inquiry or investigation, shall, and is hereby authorized by the Lenders to, assume that all actions taken by the Agent hereunder and in connection with or under the Loan Documents are duly authorized by the Lenders. The Lenders shall notify Borrower of any successor to Agent by a writing signed by Majority Lenders, which successor shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The Borrower acknowledges that any Lender which acquires KeyBank is acceptable as a successor to the Agent.
§16.2 Employees and Agents. The Agent may exercise its powers and execute its duties by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as the Agent in its sole discretion may reasonably determine, and all reasonable fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the Borrower.
§16.3 No Liability. Neither the Agent, nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent or employee thereof, shall be liable for any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that the Agent may be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct or gross negligence, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
§16.4 No Representations. The Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or for the validity, enforceability or collectability of any such amounts owing with respect to the Notes, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of the Trust or the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be bound

 

91


 

to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the Borrower or the Trust or any holder of any of the Notes shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. The Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the Lenders, with respect to the credit worthiness or financial condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the Trust or any of the Subsidiaries or any tenant under a Lease or any other entity. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.
§16.5 Payments.
(a) A payment by the Borrower to the Agent hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender shall constitute a payment to such Lender on the date received, if before 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland, Ohio time), and if after 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland, Ohio time), on the next Business Day. The Agent agrees to distribute to each Lender such Lender’s pro rata share of payments received by the Agent for the accounts of all the Lenders, as provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. All such payments by the Agent to the Lenders shall be made on the date received, if before 1:00 p.m., and if after 1:00 p.m., on the next Business Day.
(b) If in the reasonable opinion of the Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in material liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that the Agent shall invest any such undistributed amounts in overnight obligations on behalf of the Lenders and interest thereon shall be paid pro rata to the Lenders. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.
§16.6 Holders of Notes. The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Notes as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall have been furnished in writing with a different name by such payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or transferee.
§16.7 Indemnity. The Lenders ratably and severally agree hereby to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and its Affiliates from and against any and all claims, actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any expenses for which the Agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrower as required by §17), and liabilities of every nature and character arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or the Agent’s actions taken hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

92


 

§16.8 Agent as Lender. In its individual capacity as a Lender, KeyBank shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes, as it would have were it not also the Agent.
§16.9 Notification of Defaults and Events of Default. Each Lender hereby agrees that, upon learning of the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, it shall (to the extent notice has not previously been provided) promptly notify the Agent thereof. The Agent hereby agrees that upon receipt of any notice under this §16.9 it shall promptly notify the other Lenders of the existence of such Default or Event of Default.
§16.10 Duties in Case of Enforcement. In the case one or more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Agent shall, at the request, or may, upon the consent, of the Majority Lenders, and provided that the Lenders have given to the Agent such additional indemnities and assurances against expenses and liabilities as the Agent may reasonably request, proceed to enforce the provisions of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the exercise of any other legal or equitable rights or remedies as it may have hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise by virtue of applicable law, or to refrain from so acting if similarly requested by the Majority Lenders. The Agent shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders, and such instruction shall be binding upon all the Lenders. The Majority Lenders may direct the Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such foreclosure, sale or other disposition or the exercise of any other right or remedy, the Lenders hereby agreeing to severally indemnify and hold the Agent harmless from all costs and liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such direction, provided that the Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Agent reasonably believes the Agent’s compliance with such direction may expose the Agent to liability or be contrary to the Loan Documents or applicable law. The Agent may, in its discretion but without obligation, in the absence of direction from the Majority Lenders, take such interim actions as it believes reasonably necessary to preserve the rights of the Lenders hereunder, including but not limited to petitioning a court for injunctive relief or appointment of a receiver. Each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that, except for any rights of set-off pursuant to and in accordance with §15.2 hereof, no individual Lender may separately enforce or exercise any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents, including without limitation the Notes, other than through the Agent. The Agent shall advise the Lenders of all such action taken by the Agent.

 

93


 

§16.11 Successor Agent. KeyBank, or any successor Agent, may resign as Agent at any time by giving at least 30 days prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and to the Borrower. Any such resignation shall be effective upon appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent, as hereinafter provided, and, at the request of the Majority Lenders, the Agent will resign if its Commitment is less than $20,000,000, unless such circumstance is a result of events other than the sale by the Agent of its Commitment below $20,000,000. Upon any such resignation or removal pursuant to the last sentence of this §16.11, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent, which is a Lender under this Agreement, provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing the Borrower shall have the right to approve any successor Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If, in the case of a resignation by the Agent, no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and approved by the Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint any one of the other Lenders as a successor Agent. The Borrower acknowledges that any Lender which acquires KeyBank is acceptable as a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all further duties and obligations as Agent under this Agreement. After any Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this §16 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. The Agent agrees that it shall not assign any of its rights or duties as Agent to any other Person. The Agent may be removed at the direction of the Majority Lenders in the event of a final judicial determination (in which the Agent had an opportunity to be heard) that the Agent had acted in a grossly negligent manner or in willful misconduct.
§16.12 Notices. Any notices or other information required hereunder to be provided to the Agent (with copies to the Agent for each Lender) shall be forwarded by the Agent to each of the Lenders on the same day (if practicable) and, in any case, on the next Business Day following the Agent’s receipt thereof.
§16.13 Other Agents. No Co-Lead Arranger, Co-Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent shall have any liabilities or obligations hereunder in its capacity as such.
§17. EXPENSES AND INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements incurred by the Agent (including the reasonable and invoiced out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements of outside counsel or any local counsel to the Agent) in connection with the preparation, administration, negotiation or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, each closing hereunder, and amendments, modifications, approvals, consents or waivers hereto or hereunder, (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements, and the fees and costs of engineers, appraisers, surveyors, investment bankers, or other experts retained by any Lender or the Agent in connection with any enforcement proceedings) incurred by any Lender or the Agent in connection with (A) the enforcement of or preservation of rights under any of the Loan Documents against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the Trust or the administration thereof after the occurrence and during the

continuance of a Default or Event of Default (including, without limitation, expenses incurred in any restructuring and/or “workout” of the Loans), and (B) any litigation, proceeding or dispute arising out of, in connection with or as a result of this Agreement or the financing contemplated hereby; provided, however, that in connection with any one such action or any separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction, in each case described in this clause (ii), the Borrower shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel to the Agent and the Lenders (along with one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction), unless there shall exist an actual conflict of interest among such Persons, and in such case, not more than one additional counsel to the affected parties (along with one additional local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction), and (iii) if the Person acting as Agent hereunder is not also the “Agent” (or such other similar term as used therein) under the Unsecured Revolver Agreement, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Agent in the future in connection with (x) an inspection pursuant to §8.10 or (y) its inspection of the Eligible Unencumbered Properties (or any proposed Eligible Unencumbered Property) or with the addition of any Eligible Unencumbered Property.
(b) Indemnification. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, the Arranger, the Lenders and each of their respective Related Parties (each, an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, actions and suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses, settlement payments, obligations, damages and expenses of every nature and character arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or which otherwise arise in connection with this financing, including, without limitation, (i) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of the proceeds of any of the Loans, (ii) (a) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries entering into or performing this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or (b) the Agent or any Lender entering into or exercising any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that for clarity, this clause (ii)(b) shall not apply to expenses incurred by any Lender unless incurred by such Lender as an Indemnitee as a result of a third party claim, action or suit, or (iii) pursuant to §8.16, in each case including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding(including, without limitation, any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated under this §17(b) to indemnify any Person for (x) liabilities arising from such Person’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, (y) amounts constituting Excluded Taxes or (z) result from any dispute solely among the Indemnitees. If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this §17(b) are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. The indemnification provisions of §17(b) shall apply to any indemnity proceeding arising during the pendency of any bankruptcy proceeding filed by or against the Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries.
(c) Limitation. It is understood that, with respect to any particular action, suit, proceeding or investigation subject to indemnification hereunder, the Borrower shall not be required to reimburse, or indemnify and hold harmless for, the reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses of more than one outside counsel (in addition to up to one local counsel in each applicable local jurisdiction) for all Indemnitees that are the subject of such action, suit, proceeding or investigation unless there shall exist an actual conflict of interest, in which case the Borrower shall be required to reimburse, or indemnify and hold harmless for, the reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses of one additional counsel to the affected parties (along with one additional local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the approval of each Lender directly affected thereby shall be required for any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement that (subject to §2.11 in the case of Permitted Amendments):

(h) releases the Guaranty of the Trust.
Further notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement shall:
(i) change the definition of “Majority Tranche A Lenders,” “Majority Tranche B Lenders” or “Majority Tranche C Lenders” without the written consent of each Lender under the applicable Facility;
(j) except as permitted pursuant to the terms of §2.11, change the order of application of any prepayment of Loans among the Facilities from the application thereof set forth in the applicable provisions of §3.2.3(b) or §14.4, respectively, in any manner that materially and adversely affects the Lenders under a Facility without the written consent of (i) if such Facility is the Tranche A Facility, the Majority Tranche A Lenders, (ii) if such Facility is the Tranche B Facility, the Majority Tranche B Lenders and (iii) if such Facility is the Tranche C Facility, the Majority Tranche C Lenders; or

Notwithstanding any provision in this § 28 to the contrary but subject to §2.8 (including those matters that may be addressed in a Conforming Amendment without the requirement for additional consents pursuant to § 2.8) and in addition to any Accordion Advance permitted thereunder, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Majority Lenders and the Borrowers (i) to add one or more additional term loan facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit and all related obligations and liabilities arising in connection therewith from time to time outstanding to share ratably (or on a basis subordinated to the existing facilities hereunder) in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the obligations and liabilities from time to time outstanding in respect of the existing facilities hereunder, and (ii) in connection with the foregoing, to permit, as deemed appropriate by the Agent and approved by the Majority Lenders, the Lenders or such other banks and financial institutions providing such additional credit facilities to participate in any required vote or action required to be approved by the Majority Lenders or by any other number, percentage or class of Lenders hereunder.
The provisions in §§8.2 through 8.21, §9, §10 and §14.1 of this Agreement, including, in each case, any associated definitions in §1.1, contain essentially the same provisions with respect to the Trust, the Borrower and their Subsidiaries as those contained in §§8.2 through 8.21, §9, §10 and §14.1 of the Unsecured Revolver Agreement and in the associated definitions in the Unsecured Revolver Agreement (the “Revolver Provisions”). In the event that there is (x) an approval by the “Majority Lenders” (as defined in the Unsecured Revolver Agreement) pursuant to §8.13(d) of the Unsecured Revolver Agreement of the addition of a Real Estate Asset to the Unencumbered Pool which does not meet one or more of the Unencumbered Property Conditions or the provisions of §8.13(c), or (y) a proposal to modify, waive or restate, or request a consent or approval with respect to, the Revolver Provisions (including any

 

106


 

associated definitions) of the Unsecured Revolver Agreement in writing (which may include a written waiver of an existing actual or potential default or event of default that is intended to be eliminated by such modification, restatement or waiver) (each of the foregoing in clauses (x) and (y), a “Proposed Modification”), then (A) any Lender under this Agreement shall be deemed to have automatically approved the Proposed Modification hereunder of any corresponding Revolver Provisions contained in this Agreement for purposes of determining if the requisite approvals hereunder have been obtained if (but only if) such Lender approved the Proposed Modification under the Unsecured Revolver in its capacity as a “Lender” under the Unsecured Revolver Agreement or as an Affiliate of a Lender that approved the Proposed Modification under the Unsecured Revolver Agreement and (B) in the case that the Lenders under this Agreement described in clause (A) above constitute the Majority Lenders hereunder, then simultaneously with the agreement to or granting of such Proposed Modification under the Unsecured Revolver Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed modified or restated, or such waiver, consent or approval granted, in a manner consistent with the Proposed Modifications under the Unsecured Revolver Agreement, unless such modification, restatement, waiver, consent or approval requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby under the terms of this §28. If requested by the Borrower or the Agent, the Borrower, the Trust, the Agent and each approving Lender (including any Lender deemed to have approved pursuant to this §28) shall execute and deliver a written amendment to, restatement of, or waiver, consent or approval under, this Agreement memorializing such modification, restatement, waiver, consent or approval. In addition, the Borrower will be obligated to pay to the Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders (other than any Lender that is also a “Lender” under the Unsecured Revolver Agreement or an Affiliate of a Lender under the Unsecured Revolver Agreement that did not approve the Proposed Modification thereunder) the same fee rate as the Borrower shall pay to the agent, arranger and lenders, respectively, under the Unsecured Revolver Agreement in connection with such modification, restatement, waiver, consent or approval.
No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Agent or the Lenders or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial to such right or any other rights of the Agent or the Lenders. No notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
§29. SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any one clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.

§30. INTEREST RATE LIMITATION. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this §30 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
§31. USA PATRIOT ACT COMPLIANCE.(a) The following notification is provided to the Borrower pursuant to Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, 31 U.S.C. Section 5318 (the “USA Patriot Act”):
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or entity that opens an account, including any deposit account, treasury management account, loan, other extension of credit, or other financial services product. The Agent and/or the Lenders will ask for Borrower’s name, taxpayer identification number, business address, and other information that will allow the Agent and the Lenders to identify Borrower. The Agent and/or the Lenders may also ask to see Borrower’s legal organizational documents or other identifying documents.
(b) In order for the Agent to comply with the USA Patriot Act, prior to any Lender or participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America becoming a party hereto, the Agent may request, and such Lender or participant shall provide to the Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for the Agent to comply with federal law.

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY
[Attached hereto]

 

Exhibit F, Page 1


 

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY
To:   The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”) which from time to time is a party to the Term Loan Agreement dated as of July [_____], 2011 (as the same may be amended, modified or restated and in effect from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) among First Potomac Realty Investment Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (“FPLP”), and the other Borrowers from time to time party thereto (FPLP, collectively with such Borrowers, hereinafter referred to as the “Borrower”), KeyBank National Association, as a Lender and as Administrative Agent for the Lenders (in such agent capacity, the “Agent”) and the other Lenders from time to time party thereto. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Loan Agreement.
This SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY (“Guaranty”), dated as of July [_____], 2011, is made by each of the entities listed on Exhibit A attached hereto (individually and collectively, the “Guarantor”) in favor of the Agent and the Lenders.
WHEREAS, the Borrower and the Guarantor are members of a group of related companies, the success of any one of which is dependent in part on the success of the other members of such group;
WHEREAS, the Guarantor expects to receive substantial direct benefits from the extension of credit to the Borrower by the Lenders pursuant to the Loan Agreement (which benefits are hereby acknowledged);
WHEREAS, the Lenders and the Agent are unwilling to enter into the Loan Agreement and to extend any credit thereunder unless the Guarantor shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and the Agent, a guarantee substantially in the form hereof; and
WHEREAS, the Guarantor wishes to guarantee the Borrower’s obligations to the Lenders and the Agent under or in respect of the Loan Agreement as provided herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
1. Guaranty of Payment and Performance of Obligations. In consideration of the Lenders’ extending credit or otherwise in their discretion giving time, financial or banking facilities or accommodations to the Borrower, each Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Agent and each Lender that the Borrower will duly and punctually pay or perform, at the place specified therefor, or if no place is specified, at the Agent’s Head Office, (i) all Obligations (as defined in the Loan Agreement); and (ii) without limitation of the foregoing, all fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Agent or the Lenders in attempting to collect or enforce any of the foregoing, accrued in each case to the date of payment hereunder (collectively, the “Obligations” and individually

 

Exhibit F, Page 2


 

an “Obligation”). This Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of the full and punctual payment and performance by the Borrower of the Obligations and not of their collectibility only and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that any Lender or the Agent first attempt to collect any of the Obligations from the Borrower or resort to any security or other means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations which any Lender or the Agent now has or may acquire after the date hereof or upon any other contingency whatsoever. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under (or as defined in) the Loan Agreement, the liabilities and obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall, at the option of the Agent or the Majority Lenders, become forthwith due and payable to the Agent and to the Lender or Lenders owed the same without demand or notice of any nature, all of which are expressly waived by the Guarantor. Without limiting the foregoing, if any obligations are or become due hereunder from a Guarantor at the time such Guarantor is or becomes the subject of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, such obligations shall be immediately due and payable automatically and without any action on the part of the Agent or any of the Lenders. Payments by the Guarantor hereunder may be required by any Lender or the Agent on any number of occasions.
2. Guarantor’s Further Agreements to Pay. The Guarantor further agrees, as the principal obligor and not as a guarantor only, to pay to each Lender and the Agent forthwith upon demand, in funds immediately available to the Lender or the Agent, all costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable legal fees and expenses) of the type and/or nature described in Section 17 of the Loan Agreement that are incurred or expended by the Agent or such Lender in connection with this Guaranty and the enforcement hereof, together with interest on amounts recoverable under this Guaranty from the time such amounts become due at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) above the Base Rate plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin until such amounts shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment).
3. Payments. The Guarantor covenants and agrees that the Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with their respective terms regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereinafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Agent or any Lender with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to any Obligation shall not be discharged by a payment in a currency other than the currency in which the Obligation is denominated (the “Obligation Currency”) or at a place other than the place specified for the payment of the Obligation, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Obligation Currency and transferred to Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A., under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of Obligation Currency due thereunder.
4. Taxes. All payments hereunder shall be made without any counterclaim or set-off, free and clear of, and without reduction by reason of, any taxes, levies, imposts, charges and withholdings, restrictions or conditions of any nature (“Taxes”), which are now or may hereafter be imposed, levied or assessed by any country, political subdivision or taxing authority on payments hereunder, all of which will be for the account of and paid by the Guarantor. If for any reason, any such reduction is made or any Taxes are paid by the Agent or any Lender (except for taxes on income or profits of such Agent or Lender), Guarantor will pay to the Agent or such Lender such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the Agent or such Lender receives the same net amount which it would have received had no reduction been made or Taxes paid.

 

Exhibit F, Page 3


 

5. Consent to Jurisdiction. The Guarantor agrees that any suit for the enforcement of this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents may be brought in the courts of the States of New York or Ohio or any federal court in the States of New York or Ohio and consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such court and the service of process in any such suit being made upon the Guarantor by mail at the address specified in Section 15 hereof. The Guarantor hereby waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit or any such court or that such suit is brought in an inconvenient court. In addition to the courts of the States of New York or Ohio or any federal court sitting in the States of New York or Ohio, the Agent or any Lender may bring action(s) for enforcement on a nonexclusive basis where any collateral exists and the Guarantor consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such court and the service of process in any such suit being made upon the Guarantor by mail at the address specified in Section 15 hereof. In any such action or proceeding, the Guarantor hereby absolutely and irrevocably waives personal service of any summons, complaint, declaration or other process and hereby absolutely and irrevocably agrees that the service thereof may be made by certified, registered or recorded first-class airmail directed to the Guarantor. Anything hereinbefore to the contrary notwithstanding, the Agent or any Lender may sue the Guarantor in the courts of any other country, State of the United States or place where the Guarantor or any of the property or assets of the Guarantor may be found or in any other appropriate jurisdictions.
6. Unlimited Liability of Guarantor. The liability of the Guarantor hereunder shall be unlimited and, as to the Obligations of the Borrower, shall be joint and several with the liability of each other party who has guaranteed or who will guarantee the Obligations of the Borrower. The Agent and each Lender have and shall have the absolute right to enforce the liability of the Guarantor hereunder without resort to any other right or remedy including any right or remedy under any other guaranty, and the release or discharge of any guarantor of any Obligations shall not affect the continuing liability of the Guarantor hereunder.
7. Effectiveness. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect and shall remain in operation until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash, and continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or other satisfaction of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of the Borrower, or otherwise, as though such payment had not been made or other satisfaction occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the obligations of any Guarantor that has been released (i) pursuant to and in accordance with Section 8.21(b) of the Loan Agreement or (ii) in connection with (and only upon the consummation of) a disposition of the Equity Interests of such Guarantor in accordance with Section 9.4 of the Loan Agreement, this Guaranty shall terminate with respect to such Guarantor only upon the effectiveness of such release. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability by reason of applicable Debtor Relief Laws, or any law or order of any government or agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect, the Obligations, shall impair, affect, be a defense to or claim against the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Loan Documents, the obligations guaranteed hereunder shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under the Debtor Relief Laws.

 

Exhibit F, Page 4


 

8. Freedom of Lenders and Agent to Deal with Borrower and Other Parties. The Agent and each Lender shall be at liberty, without giving notice to or obtaining the assent of the Guarantor and without relieving the Guarantor of any liability hereunder, to deal with the Borrower and with each other party who now is or after the date hereof becomes liable in any manner for any of the Obligations, in such manner as the Agent or such Lender in its sole discretion deems fit, and to this end, without limiting the right of the Agent or such Lender to so deal with such party, the Guarantor gives to the Agent and each Lender full authority in its sole discretion to do any or all of the following things: (a) extend credit, make loans and afford other financial accommodations to the Borrower at such times, in such amounts and on such terms as the Agent or such Lender may approve, (b) vary the terms and grant extensions of any present or future indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower or of any other party to the Agent or such Lender, (c) grant time, waivers and other indulgences in respect thereto, (d) vary, exchange, release or discharge, wholly or partially, or delay in or abstain from perfecting and enforcing any security or guaranty or other means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations which the Lender now has or may acquire after the date hereof, (e) accept partial payments from the Borrower or any such other party, (f) release or discharge, wholly or partially, any endorser or guarantor, and (g) compromise or make any settlement or other arrangement with the Borrower or any such other party.
9. Unenforceability of Obligations Against Borrower; Invalidity of Security or Other Guaranties. If for any reason any Borrower has no legal existence or is under no legal obligation to discharge any of the Obligations undertaken or purported to be undertaken by it or on its behalf, or if any of the moneys included in the Obligations have become irrecoverable from the Borrower by operation of law or for any other reason, this Guaranty shall nevertheless be binding on the Guarantor to the same extent as if the Guarantor at all times had been the principal debtor on all such Obligations. This Guaranty shall be in addition to any other guaranty or other security for the Obligations, and it shall not be prejudiced or rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other guaranty or security.
10. Representation and Warranties. The Guarantor hereby makes, for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries, the representations and warranties contained in Section 7 of the Loan Agreement that relate to the Guarantor and/or its Subsidiaries (each, a “Representation and Warranty,” and collectively, the “Representations and Warranties”) as if each such Representation and Warranty were set forth fully herein, and such Representations and Warranties are hereby incorporated by reference and shall survive until payment in full of all of the Obligations.

 

Exhibit F, Page 5


 

11. Covenants. The Guarantor hereby covenants that it will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, comply with each of the covenants contained in Sections 8, 9 and 10 of the Loan Agreement that relate to the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries (the “Covenants”) as if each such Covenant were fully set forth herein, and such Covenants are incorporated by reference. Except as otherwise permitted under the Loan Agreement, the Guarantor shall at all times be a direct or indirect Subsidiary of FPLP or the Trust.
12. Representations True; Covenant Compliance; No Event of Default. Each of the Representations and Warranties made by the Guarantor for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries shall be true in all material respects as of the date as of which it was made and shall also be true in all material respects at and as of the time of the making of each Loan under the Loan Agreement with the same effect as if made at and as of that time (except to the extent that such Representations and Warranties relate expressly to an earlier date).
13. Waivers by Guarantor. The Guarantor waives: notice of acceptance hereof, notice of any action taken or omitted by the Agent or any Lender in reliance hereon, and any requirement that the Agent or any Lender be diligent or prompt in making demands hereunder, giving notice of any default by the Borrower or asserting any other rights of the Agent or any Lender hereunder. The Guarantor also irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all defenses that at any time may be available in respect of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder by virtue of any statute of limitations, valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect.
14. Waiver of Subrogation Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary contained herein or provided by applicable law and until such time as all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash to the Lenders, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have at any time (whether arising directly or indirectly, by operation of law or by contract) to assert any claim against the Borrower on account of payments made under this Guaranty or otherwise, including, without limitation, any and all rights of or claim for subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, exoneration and indemnity, and further waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral which may be held by the Agent or any Lender or any affiliate of the Agent or any Lender. Without limitation of the foregoing, in proceedings under applicable bankruptcy laws or insolvency proceedings of any nature, the Guarantor will not prove in competition with the Agent or any Lender in respect of any payment hereunder or be entitled to have the benefit of any counterclaim or proof of claim or dividend or payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or the benefit of any other security for any Obligation which, now or hereafter, the Agent or any Lender may hold or in which it may have any share. In addition, the Guarantor will not claim any set-off or counterclaim against the Borrower in respect of any liability it may have to the Borrower. The payment of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter held by the Guarantor which arises as a result of the Guarantor’s payment of any sum recoverable hereunder is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full of the Obligations. The Guarantor agrees that the Guarantor will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of the Borrower to the Guarantor until the Obligations shall have been paid in full. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Guarantor shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by the Guarantor as trustee for the Agent and the Lenders and be paid over to the Agent on account of the Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of the Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

 

Exhibit F, Page 6


 

15. Demands and Notices. Any demand on or notice to the Guarantor made or required to be given pursuant to this Guaranty shall be in writing and shall be delivered in hand, mailed by United States registered or certified first class mail, postage prepaid, sent by overnight courier, or sent by telegraph, telecopy, telefax or telex and confirmed by delivery via courier or postal service, addressed as follows:
(a) if to the Guarantor, at First Potomac Realty Trust, 7600 Wisconsin Avenue, 11th Floor, Bethesda, Maryland 20814 (facsimile: (301) 986-5554), Attention: Barry Bass, Chief Financial Officer, with a copy to Gordon Wilson, Esq., Hogan Lovells US LLP, Columbia Square, 555 Thirteenth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20004 (facsimile: (202) 637-5910), or at such other address for notice as the Guarantor shall last have furnished in writing to the person giving the notice; and
(b) if to the Agent, to John Scott, Senior Banker, KeyBank National Association, 127 Public Square, Cleveland, OH 44114 (facsimile: (216) 689-5819), or such other address for notice as the Agent shall have last furnished in writing to the person giving the notice, with a copy to Pamela M. MacKenzie, Esq., Goulston & Storrs, 400 Atlantic Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts 02110-3333 (facsimile: (617)-574-7615), or at such other address for notice as the Agent shall last have furnished in writing to the person giving the notice; and
(c) if to any Lender, at such Lender’s address set forth on Schedule 2 to the Loan Agreement, or such other address for notice as such Lender shall have last furnished in writing to the Person giving the notice.
Any such notice or demand shall be deemed to have been duly given or made and to have become effective (i) if delivered by hand, overnight courier or facsimile to the party to which it is directed, at the time of the receipt thereof by such party or the sending of such facsimile and (ii) if sent by registered or certified first-class mail, postage prepaid, on the third Business Day following the mailing thereof.
16. Amendments, Waivers, Etc. No provision of this Guaranty can be changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the Agent and the Guarantor expressly referring to the provision of this Guaranty to which such instrument relates; and no such waiver shall extend to, affect or impair any right with respect to any Obligation which is not expressly dealt with therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Agent or the Lenders or any of them in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto.

 

Exhibit F, Page 7


 

17. Set-off. Regardless of the adequacy of any collateral or other means of obtaining repayment of the Obligations, each Lender and the Agent may, subject to satisfaction of the conditions to set-off set forth in Section 15.2 of the Loan Agreement, at any time and without notice to the Guarantor set off the whole or any portion or portions of any or all such deposits and other sums credited by or due from such Lender or the Agent to the Guarantor or subject to withdrawal by the Guarantor against amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether or not any other person or persons could also withdraw money therefrom. Any deposits or other sums which may at any time be credited to the Guarantor by or due to it from any Lender may at any time be applied to or set off by such Lender against the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, in each case in accordance with Section 15.2 of the Loan Agreement. The Guarantor irrevocably invites each financing institution which may consider becoming a Lender to rely on the provisions contained in this Section 17 as making the Lender a creditor of the Guarantor and agrees that its becoming a Lender shall constitute an acceptance of the offer hereby made.
18. Agent; Application of Funds. This Guaranty has been delivered to the Agent and the Agent has been authorized to enforce this Guaranty on behalf of each of the Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents. All payments by the undersigned pursuant to this Guaranty shall be made to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the Agent and, after the payment of all expenses as provided in this Guaranty, shall be applied to the payment of the Obligations until the same are paid in full.
19. Further Assurances. The Guarantor at its sole cost and expense agrees to do all such things and execute, acknowledge and deliver all such documents and instruments as the Agent from time to time may reasonably request in order to give full effect to this Guaranty and to perfect and preserve the rights and powers of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder.
20. Miscellaneous Provisions. This Guaranty is intended to take effect as a sealed instrument to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and shall inure to the benefit of the Agent, each Lender and its respective successors in title and assigns, and shall be binding on the Guarantor and the Guarantor’s successors in title, assigns and legal representatives. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or any other agreement. The invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more sections of this Guaranty shall not affect the validity or enforceability of its remaining provisions. Captions are for ease of reference only and shall not affect the meaning of the relevant provisions. The meanings of all defined terms used in this Guaranty shall be equally applicable to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined.

21. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JURISDICTION AND IN ANY COURT WITH RESPECT TO, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY, THE OBLIGATIONS, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT DELIVERED PURSUANT HERETO OR THERETO OR ANY OTHER CLAIM OR DISPUTE HOWSOEVER ARISING, AMONG THE GUARANTOR, THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND/OR THE LENDERS. THIS WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL SHALL BE EFFECTIVE FOR EACH AND EVERY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY THE GUARANTOR, THE AGENT OR THE LENDERS AND DELIVERED TO THE AGENT OR THE LENDERS, AS THE CASE MAY BE, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DOCUMENTS SHALL CONTAIN SUCH A WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED BY LAW, THE GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION REFERRED TO IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES.

FORM OF INSTRUMENT OF ACCESSION
Dated as of ________ __, 20__
Reference is hereby made to the Term Loan Agreement dated as of July 18, 2011 (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated and in effect from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among First Potomac Realty Investment Limited Partnership and certain other borrowers (collectively, the “Borrowers”), First Potomac Realty Trust, KeyBank National Association, individually and as Administrative Agent, and certain other parties. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of Section 2.8.3 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and [_____] (the “Acceding Lender”) hereby agree as follows:

2. The Acceding Lender (a) represents and warrants that (i) it has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Accession Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to become a Lender under the Credit Agreement, (ii) it meets all the requirements of an Eligible Assignee under the Credit Agreement, (iii) from and after the Effective Date, it shall be bound by the provisions of the Credit Agreement as a Lender thereunder and, to the extent of its portion of the applicable Tranche [A/B/C/[New Tranche]] Loan shall have the obligations of a Lender thereunder, (iv) it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to acquire assets of the type represented by its portion of the applicable Tranche [A/B/C/[New Tranche]] Loan and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to extend its portion of the applicable Tranche [A/B/C/[New Tranche]] Loan is experienced in extending loans of such type, (v) it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement, and has received or has been accorded the opportunity to receive copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant thereto, as applicable,

Schedule 2, Page 2


 

Schedule 2.12
Auction Procedures
This Schedule 2.12 is intended to summarize certain basic terms of the Auction procedures pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of § 2.12 of the Loan Agreement, of which this Schedule 2.12 is a part. Neither the Agent nor any of its respective affiliates or any officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact of such Persons (together with the 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 Loans to the Borrower, nor shall the decision by the Agent or any other Agent-Related Person (or any of their affiliates) in its respective capacity as a Lender to sell its 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 Loans and, if it decides to do so, the principal amount of and price to be sought for such 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 2.12 have the meanings assigned to them in the Loan Agreement.
(a) Notice Procedures. In connection with each Auction, the Borrower will provide notification to the Agent (for distribution to the Lenders (each, an “Auction Notice”)). Each Auction Notice shall contain (i) the maximum principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Loans that the Borrower offers to purchase in such Auction (the “Auction Amount”), which shall be no less than $5,000,000 (unless another amount is agreed to by the 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 Loans in such Auction; (iii) the date on which such Auction will conclude, on which date Return Bids (as defined below) will be due by 4:00 p.m. (New York time) (as such date and time may be extended by the Agent, such time the “Expiration Time”), and (iv) the Tranche or Type of Loan the Borrower offers to purchase. Such Expiration Time may be extended for a period not exceeding three (3) Business Days upon notice by the Borrower to the Agent 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 one (1) month (or such shorter period as may be permitted by the Agent in its sole discretion) after such withdrawal or Expiration Time, as the case may be. Under no circumstances may the Borrower deliver an Auction Notice to the Agent until after the conclusion (whether successful or failed) of any previous Auction.
Schedule 2.12

 

 


 

(b) Reply Procedures. In connection with any Auction, each Lender wishing to participate in such Auction shall, prior to the Expiration Time, provide the Agent 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 Loans (the “Reply Price”) within the Discount Range and (ii) the principal amount of Loans, in an amount not less than $[1,000,000] or an integral multiple of $[100,000] 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 Loans held by such Lender. Lenders may only submit one Return Bid per Auction. The Borrower will not purchase any Loans at a price that is outside of the applicable Discount Range, nor will any Return Bids submitted at a price that is outside such applicable Discount Range be considered in any calculation of the Applicable Threshold Price (as defined below).
(c) Acceptance Procedures. Based on the Reply Prices and Reply Amounts received by the Agent, the Agent, 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 Loans for which the Borrower has received Qualifying Bids). The Borrower shall purchase 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 Loans included in Qualifying Bids 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 Loans offered in Return Bids 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 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 Loans to be purchased at prices below the Applicable Threshold Price), the Borrower shall purchase the 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 will be accepted above the Applicable Threshold Price.
(e) Notification Procedures. The Agent 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 Agent’s standard dissemination practices by 4:00 p.m. New York time one (1) Business Day after the date the Return Bids were due (as such due date may be extended in accordance with this Schedule 2.12). The Agent will notify each Lender of the principal amount of Loans to be assigned and the applicable settlement date received in connection with a Qualifying Bid.
Schedule 2.12

 

 


 

(f) Additional Procedures. After an Auction Notice received from the Borrower has been distributed to the Lenders by the Agent, the Borrower may withdraw an Auction only in the event that, (a) as of such time, no Qualifying Bid has been received by the Agent, or (b) Borrower has failed to meet a condition set forth in § 2.12(a) of the Loan 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 Agent may not be modified, revoked, terminated or cancelled by a Lender. However, an Auction may become void if the conditions to the purchase of Loans by the Borrower required by the terms and conditions of § 2.12 of the Loan 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 a settlement date as determined jointly by the Borrower and the Agent (which shall be not later than three (3) Business Days after the date Return Bids are due). All questions as to the form of documents and validity and eligibility of Loans that are the subject of an Auction will be determined by the Agent, 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 §2.12 of the Loan Agreement or this Schedule 2.12. The Agent’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 §2.12 of the Loan Agreement or this Schedule 2.12. None of the Agent, 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, any of its Subsidiaries, 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 2.12 shall not require the Borrower to initiate any Auction.

 

Schedule 2.12


 

Schedule 3.2.2(b)
Fixed Rate Prepayment Premium
1. Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Prepayment Premium Schedule shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Loan Agreement.
2. Prepayment Premium. Any Prepayment Premium payable under Section 3.2(c) of the Loan Agreement shall be computed as follows:
(a) If the prepayment is made at any time prior to the date that is one (1) year before the Maturity Date (the “Yield Maintenance Period End Date”), the Prepayment shall be the greater of:
(1) one percent (1%) of the amount of principal being prepaid; or
(2) the product obtained by multiplying:
(A) the amount of principal being prepaid,
by
(B) the difference obtained by subtracting from the interest rate applicable to the Loan, the Yield Rate (as defined below) on the twenty-fifth (25th) Business Day preceding (i) the Intended Prepayment Date, or (ii) the date Lender accelerates the Loan or otherwise accepts a prepayment pursuant to Section 3.2(d) of the Loan Agreement,
By
(C) the present value factor calculated using the following formula:
     
 
  1 – (1+r)-n/12
     
    r
  r =   Yield Rate
 
  n =   the number of months remaining between (i) either of the following: (x) in the case of a voluntary prepayment, the last day of the month in which the prepayment is made, or (y) in any other case, the date on which Lender accelerates the unpaid principal balance of the Loan and (ii) the Yield Maintenance Period End Date.

 

Schedule 3.2.2(b)


 

      For the purpose of this clause (ii), the “Yield Rate” means the yield calculated by interpolating the yields for the immediately shorter and longer term U.S. “Treasury constant maturities” (as reported in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 Selected Interest Rates (the “Fed Release”) under the heading “U.S. government securities”) closest to the remaining term of the Yield Maintenance Period Term, as follows (rounded to three (3) decimal places):
         
 
  (a - b)   x (z - y) + b
 
  (x - y)    
  a =   the yield for the longer U.S. Treasury constant maturity
 
  b =   the yield for the shorter U.S. Treasury constant maturity
 
  x =   the term of the longer U.S. Treasury constant maturity
 
  y =   the term of the shorter U.S. Treasury constant maturity
 
  z =   “n” (as defined in the present value factor for calculation above) divided by twelve (12)
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, if “z” equals a term reported under the U.S. “Treasury constant maturities” subheading in the Fed Release, the yield for such term shall be used, and interpolation shall not be necessary. If publication for the Fed Release is discontinued by the Federal Reserve Board, Lender shall determine the Yield Rate for another source selected by Lender. Any determination of the Yield Rate by Lender will be binding absent manifest error.]
(b) No Prepayment Premium shall be payable with respect to any prepayment on or after the Yield Maintenance Period End Date.
