Exhibit 10.1

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is entered into as of August 13, 2018, by and among the lenders identified on the signature pages hereof (such lenders, together with their respective successors and permitted assigns, are referred to hereinafter each individually as a “Lender” and collectively as the “Lenders”), GOLUB CAPITAL LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as the administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, “Agent”), joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner, TC LENDING, LLC, as joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner, LEGALAPP HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), INTEGRATION APPLIANCE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), and the Guarantors from time to time party hereto.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Borrower, the Guarantors, Agent and certain lenders entered into that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time and in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement, the “Original Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS, Borrower and the Guarantors have requested, and the Agent and Lenders party hereto have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to amend and restate the Original Credit Agreement in its entirety as set forth herein to, inter alia, extend revolving and term credit facilities to the Borrower of up to Two Hundred and Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($210,000,000) in the aggregate for the purposes of funding the Restatement Date Refinancing and a portion of the consideration for the Restatement Date Acquisition;

WHEREAS, all Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall continue to be secured by a first priority security interest in the Collateral and be guaranteed by the Guaranty, subject to the limitations described herein and in the Collateral Documents and the Guaranty;

WHEREAS, all Annexes, Schedules, Exhibits and other attachments (collectively, “Appendices”) hereto are incorporated herein by reference, and taken together, shall constitute but a single agreement, and these Recitals shall be construed as part of this Agreement; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION.

1.1 Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings specified therefor on Schedule 1.1.


1.2 Accounting Terms. All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP; provided, that if Borrower notifies Agent that Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any Accounting Change occurring after the Restatement Date or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if Agent notifies Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such Accounting Change or in the application thereof, then Agent and Borrower agree that they will negotiate in good faith amendments to the provisions of this Agreement that are directly affected by such Accounting Change with the intent of having the respective positions of the Lenders and Borrower after such Accounting Change conform as nearly as possible to their respective positions as of the date of this Agreement and, until any such amendments have been agreed upon and agreed to by the Required Lenders, the provisions in this Agreement shall be calculated as if no such Accounting Change had occurred. When used herein, the term “financial statements” shall include the notes and schedules, if any, thereto. Whenever the term “Parent” is used in respect of a financial covenant or a related definition, it shall be understood to mean Parent and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, unless the context clearly requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (x) for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including negative covenants, financial covenants and component definitions, GAAP will be deemed to treat operating leases and Capital Leases in a manner consistent with their current treatment under GAAP as in effect on the Restatement Date, notwithstanding any modifications or interpretive changes thereto that may occur thereafter, (x) all financial statements delivered hereunder shall be prepared, and all financial covenants contained herein shall be calculated, without giving effect to any election under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 (or any similar accounting principle) permitting a Person to value its financial liabilities or Indebtedness at the fair value thereof, (y) all calculations of Recurring Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA shall exclude the effects of ASC 606 or any replacement thereof unless and until otherwise agreed between the Required Lenders and Borrower (and the Required Lenders hereby agree to negotiate with Borrower in good faith with respect thereto) and (z) all financial statements delivered hereunder shall be prepared, and all financial covenants contained herein shall be calculated, without giving effect to ASC 805 or any replacement thereof or any other purchase accounting requirements.

1.3 Code. Any terms used in this Agreement that are defined in the Code shall be construed and defined as set forth in the Code unless otherwise defined herein; provided, however, that to the extent that the Code is used to define any term herein and such term is defined differently in different Articles of the Code, the definition of such term contained in Article 9 of the Code shall govern.

1.4 Construction. Unless the context of this Agreement or any other Loan Document clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to the singular include the plural, the terms “includes” and “including” are not limiting, and the term “or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or.” The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and similar terms in this Agreement or any other Loan Document refer to this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be, as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be. Section, subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit references herein are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any reference in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document to any agreement, instrument, or document shall include all alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements, thereto and thereof, as applicable (subject to any restrictions on such alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements set forth herein). Any reference herein or in any other Loan Document to the satisfaction or payment in full of the Obligations shall mean the repayment in full in cash in immediately available funds of all Obligations other than amounts owing in respect of indemnification, expense reimbursement, yield protection or tax gross-up and contingent obligations, in each case with respect to which no claim has been made. Unless otherwise specified, the words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts, and contract rights. Any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and permitted assigns. Unless otherwise specified, any requirement of a writing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be satisfied by the transmission of a Record.

1.5 Schedules and Exhibits. All of the schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference.

Section 2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.

2.1 Revolver Advances.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Restatement Date and during the term of this Agreement, each Lender with a Revolver Commitment agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) to make advances (“Advances”) to Borrower in an amount at any time outstanding not to exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Maximum Revolver Amount.

(b) Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1 may be repaid and, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, reborrowed at any time during the term of this Agreement. The outstanding principal amount of the Advances, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which they are declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

2.2 Term Loan.

(a) Initial Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Restatement Date each Lender with an Initial Term Loan Commitment agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) to make term loans (collectively, the “Initial Term Loan”) to Borrower in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Initial Term Loan Amount. The outstanding unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Initial Term Loan shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, the date on which the Obligations are declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that from and after the effective date of the Conversion Option, the then aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Initial Term Loans shall be repaid in equal quarterly installments of $500,000 each, beginning on the last day of the first full fiscal quarter after the effective date of the Conversion Option and on the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter, with the remaining principal amount of the Initial Term Loans then outstanding due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. Any principal amount of the Initial Term Loan that is repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. All principal of, interest on, and other amounts payable in respect of the Initial Term Loan shall constitute Obligations.

 

3


(b) Incremental Term Loans.

(i) Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Restatement Date, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, by notice to the Agent (whereupon the Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), increase the size of the Term Loans or request one or more additional tranches of Term Loans (each of which shall be deemed separate and independent tranches from the Initial Term Loan and from each other such additional tranche of term loans unless such additional tranche of term loans has terms identical in all respects or any other then existing tranche of additional Term Loans) to be funded in Dollars (the “Incremental Term Loans”); provided that (w) at the time of any such request no Default or Event of Default shall exist and at the time that any such Incremental Term Loan is made (and after giving effect thereto and the use of the proceeds thereof) no Default or Event of Default shall exist, (x) each increase or new tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $2,500,000 (and in minimum increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof), and the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Term Loans funded pursuant to this Section 2.2(b) shall not exceed the Maximum Incremental Term Loan Amount, (y) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties to the extent that they are already qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) on and as of the date of funding of such Incremental Term Loan (and after giving effect thereto and the use of proceeds thereof) except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that are already qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) as of such earlier date, and (z) after giving effect to the incurrence of any such Incremental Term Loans and the use of proceeds thereof, Borrower would be in compliance on a pro forma basis with the applicable financial covenants set forth in Section 7.1, as then in effect, recomputed as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which the Agent and Lenders have received financial statements in respect of the last fiscal quarter pursuant to Section 5.1 (as if such Incremental Term Loans had been outstanding on the last day of the applicable measurement period in the case of measuring pro forma compliance). Borrower shall deliver to Agent, prior to the effectiveness of any Incremental Term Loan Commitment, a certificate of an authorized officer of the Borrower certifying that all of the conditions set forth in clauses (w) through (z) of the immediately preceding sentence are satisfied after giving effect to any such Incremental Term Loan Commitment and containing reasonably detailed calculations with respect to clause (z).

 

4


(ii) The Incremental Term Loans (v) shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and of security (if any) with the Initial Term Loan (including, without limitation, with respect to optional prepayments, mandatory prepayments, voting and Sections 2.4(b)(ii) and 2.4(b)(iii)), (w) shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date, (x) shall not have a shorter weighted average life to maturity than the Initial Term Loan, (y) shall have an interest rate margin, rate floors, fees, premiums and funding discounts as determined by Borrower and Lenders funding the applicable Incremental Term Loans; provided that in the event that the all-in yield (based on the lesser of a 4-year average life to maturity or the remaining life to maturity) for any Incremental Term Loans is greater than the corresponding all-in yield (determined on the same basis) applicable to any Loan by more than fifty (50) basis points (such excess yield, the “Yield Differential”), then the Index Rate Margin and LIBOR Rate Margin, as applicable, for all such Loans shall be increased by an amount equal to the Yield Differential (expressed as a positive number); provided, further, that in determining any yield applicable to the Loans and the Incremental Term Loans, respectively, underlying interest rate floors, interest rate margins, original issue discount (“OID”) and upfront fees (which shall be deemed, for purposes of this provision, to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by Borrower to Lenders of the applicable Loans or the Incremental Term Loans in the primary syndications thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity) and arrangement, underwriting or structuring fees paid or payable to Agent (or its Affiliates) in connection with the applicable Loans or the Incremental Term Loans shall be excluded, and (z) may otherwise have terms and conditions different from those of the initial Term Loans (but subject, in any event, to the terms and provisions of this Agreement pertaining to Incremental Term Loans).

(iii) Each notice from Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.2(b) shall be given in writing and shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans. The opportunity to fund Incremental Term Loans shall be offered by Borrower first to the existing Lenders on a pro rata basis and may be made at the election of each such existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Lender will have any obligation to make any portion of any Incremental Term Loan unless it so agrees in writing), and then, to the extent any amounts remain uncommitted to by existing Lenders, such Incremental Term Loans may be made by any other bank, financial institution or other investor that is not an individual (any such other bank, financial institution or other investor being called an “Additional Lender”); provided that the Agent shall have consented to such Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans if such consent would be required under Section 13.1(a) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to such Additional Lender (it being agreed that it shall be reasonable if Agent elects not to consent to the making of an Incremental Term Loan by Equity Sponsor or any Control Investment Affiliate of Equity Sponsor, any Loan Party, any holder of any Indebtedness that ranks pari passu with, or is subordinated to, the Obligations or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing Persons).

 

5


(iv) Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and Agent; provided that such Incremental Amendment shall not be effective prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days from the date Agent first receives the notice required pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(i). The Incremental Amendment may, subject to Section 2.2(b)(ii), without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of Agent and Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.2(b). The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment (and the funding of Incremental Term Loans thereunder) shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (and the date of funding such Incremental Term Loans) of (x) the terms and conditions of this Section 2.2(b) in respect of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments then being requested and the applicable Incremental Term Loans then being funded and after giving effect thereto and (y) such other conditions as the parties thereto may agree (if any). Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement, including to finance Permitted Acquisitions and/or Capital Expenditures and any fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. In the event any Incremental Term Loans are made, such Incremental Term Loans shall mature and be repaid in amounts and on dates as agreed between Borrower and the relevant Lenders of such Incremental Term Loans in the applicable Incremental Amendment, subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2.2(b). Amounts paid or prepaid on account of any Incremental Term Loans may not be reborrowed. This Section 2.2(b)(iv) shall supersede any provisions in Section 14.1 to the contrary.

2.3 Borrowing Procedures and Settlements.

(a) Each Advance shall be made on notice by Borrower to Agent at the address specified herein. Those notices must be given no later than (a) in the case of an Index Rate Loan borrowing, 11:30 a.m. (New York time) on the proposed date of such borrowing (but no later than 11:30 a.m. (New York time) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed date of such borrowing in the case of a requested Index Rate Loan greater than $1,500,000), and (b) in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan borrowing, 12:00 noon (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of such borrowing. Each such notice (a “Notice of Advance”) must be given in writing (by email, telecopy or overnight courier) substantially in the form of Exhibit A and shall include the information required in such Exhibit. If Borrower desires to have the Advances bear interest by reference to a LIBOR Rate, Borrower must comply with Section 2.12. Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender promptly after receipt of a Notice of Advance of the details thereof by telecopy, telephone or other similar form of transmission. Each Revolving Lender shall, severally and not jointly, make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each Advance available to Agent in same day funds by wire transfer to Agent’s Account not later than 1:30 p.m. (New York time) on the requested funding date so that Agent may make such Advance available to Borrower in same day funds by wire transfer to Borrower’s Designated Account.

 

6


(b) Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to Borrower the aggregate Advance requested in any Notice of Advance, on the assumption that each Revolving Lender will make its Pro Rata Share of such Advance available to Agent. If Agent elects to make any Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a requested Advance available to Borrower, prior to Agent’s receipt of funds from such Revolving Lender, and if such Revolving Lender fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share of such Advance to Agent as required hereunder, Agent shall promptly notify Borrower, and Borrower shall promptly (but in any event within one (1) Business Day) repay such portion of such Advance to Agent. Any such repayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest thereon at the rate of interest applicable to Advances which are Index Rate Loans. Without duplication of the foregoing, a Revolving Lender whose Pro Rata Share of a requested Advance was disbursed to Borrower by Agent prior to Agent’s receipt of funds from such Revolving Lender, shall promptly make its Pro Rata Share of such Advance available to Agent, and if any Revolving Lender fails to make such amount available to Agent by the time required hereunder, such amount shall be paid together with accrued interest thereon at the rate of interest then applicable to Advances which are Index Rate Loans.

(c) Protective Advances.

(i) Agent hereby is authorized by Borrower and the Lenders, from time to time in Agent’s sole discretion, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, to make Advances to Borrower on behalf of the Lenders that Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or (2) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (any of the Advances described in this Section 2.3(c)(i) shall be referred to as “Protective Advances”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate amount of all Protective Advances at any time outstanding shall not exceed $500,000 without the prior written consent of Borrower and the Required Lenders.

(ii) Each Protective Advance shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder, except that no Protective Advance shall be eligible to be a LIBOR Rate Loan and, prior to Settlement therefor, all payments on the Protective Advances shall be payable to Agent solely for its own account. The Protective Advances shall be repayable on demand, secured by the Agent’s Liens, constitute Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Advances that are Index Rate Loans. The provisions of this Section 2.3(c) are for the exclusive benefit of Agent and the Lenders and are not intended to benefit Borrower in any way.

 

7


(d) Settlement. It is agreed that each Lender’s funded portion of the Advances is intended by the Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Advances. Such agreement notwithstanding, Agent and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of Borrower) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among the Lenders as to the Advances and the Protective Advances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by Agent (1) for itself, with respect to the outstanding Protective Advances, and (2) with respect to Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ Collections or payments received, as to each by notifying the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 11:30 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the date of such requested Settlement being the “Settlement Date”). Such notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Advances and Protective Advances for the period since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein (including Section 2.3(c)(ii)): (y) if a Lender’s balance of the Advances (including Protective Advances) made by a Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender exceeds such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Protective Advances) as of a Settlement Date, then Agent shall, by no later than 11:30 a.m. (New York time) on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds to a Deposit Account of such Lender (as such Lender may designate), an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Protective Advances), and (z) if a Lender’s balance of the Advances (including Protective Advances) is less than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Protective Advances) as of a Settlement Date, such Lender shall no later than 11:30 a.m. (New York time) on the Settlement Date transfer in immediately available funds to the Agent’s Account, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Protective Advances). Such amounts made available to Agent under clause (z) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Protective Advances and shall constitute Advances of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms hereof, Agent shall be entitled to recover for its account such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate.

(ii) In determining whether a Lender’s balance of the Advances and Protective Advances is less than, equal to, or greater than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances and Protective Advances as of a Settlement Date, Agent shall, as part of the relevant Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of payments actually received in good funds by Agent with respect to principal, interest, fees payable by Borrower and allocable to the Lenders hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral.

(iii) Between Settlement Dates, Agent, to the extent Protective Advances are outstanding, may pay over to Agent any Collections or payments received by Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Advances, for application to the Protective Advances. During the period between Settlement Dates, Agent with respect to Protective Advances, and each Lender (subject to the effect of agreements between Agent and individual Lenders) with respect to the Advances other than Protective Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the daily amount of funds employed by Agent or the Lenders, as applicable.

(iv) Anything in this Section 2.3(d) to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from remitting settlement amounts to such Defaulting Lender and, instead, shall be entitled to elect to implement the provisions set forth in Section 13.3.

 

8


(e) Reserved.

(f) Lenders’ Failure to Perform. All Advances (other than Protective Advances) shall be made by the Lenders contemporaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Advance (or other extension of credit) hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligations hereunder.

2.4 Payments; Reductions of Commitments; Prepayments.

(a) Payments by Borrower.

(i) With respect to payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on account of any and all Obligations payable to Agent or any Lender in its capacity as such, Borrower shall make each such payment not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day when due in immediately available funds in Dollars to the Agent’s Account (or to such other account(s) as are designated in writing by Agent to Borrower. For purposes of computing interest and Fees, all payments shall be deemed received on the day of receipt of immediately available funds therefor in the Agent’s Account, as applicable and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time). Payments received after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day (unless Agent, in its sole discretion, elects to credit it on the date received). Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, if any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (except for interest on a LIBOR Rate Loan accrued during any LIBOR Period which, pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of LIBOR Period is required to end on the LIBOR Business Day immediately preceding the day on which, but for such clause (a), it would have ended and except for the principal portion of such LIBOR Rate Loan payable on such day, which will also be paid on said immediately preceding LIBOR Business Day) and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension (it being understood and agreed that, solely for purposes of calculating financial covenants and computations contained herein and determining compliance therewith, if payment is made, in full, on any such extended due date, such payment shall be deemed to have been paid on the original due date without giving effect to any extension thereto).

(ii) Payments received by Agent in respect of the Obligations (including without limitation the proceeds of Collateral), if received by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, will be paid to the Lenders based upon their applicable Pro Rata Shares of such payments on such day, and in the event that any such amounts are received after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on a Business Day, such amount shall be paid to the Lenders based upon their applicable Pro Rata Shares on the next Business Day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent shall be entitled to set off any funding shortfall attributable to a Defaulting Lender (of the type described in clause (a) of the definition of Defaulting Lender) against that Defaulting Lender’s respective share of amounts otherwise to be paid to such Defaulting Lender.

 

9


(iii) Unless Agent receives notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, Agent may assume that Borrower has made (or will make) such payment in full to Agent on such date in immediately available funds and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent Borrower does not make such payment in full to Agent on the date when due, each Lender severally shall repay to Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.

(b) Application and Allocation of Payments During an Event of Default or an Acceleration Event.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of payments received from or on behalf of Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees, as between Borrower on the one hand and Agent and Lenders on the other, that Agent shall have the continuing exclusive right (subject to clauses (ii) and (iii) below) to apply any and all such payments against the Obligations as Agent may deem advisable notwithstanding any previous entry by Agent in the Loan Account or any other books and records (provided any such application by Agent shall be made based on type of Obligation (i.e., principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses, etc.) and shall be shared by all holders of the applicable Obligation on a pro rata basis).

(ii) Subject to the terms of the immediately succeeding sentence, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, but absent the occurrence and continuance of an Acceleration Event, Agent shall apply any and all payments received by Agent in respect of the Obligations, and any and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent, in such order as Agent may from time to time elect (provided any such application by Agent shall be made based on type of Obligation (i.e., principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses, etc.) and shall be shared by all holders of the applicable Obligation on a pro rata basis). In the absence of any specific election made by Agent or the Required Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.4(b)(ii), payments and proceeds of Collateral received by Agent pursuant to this Section 2.4(b) shall be applied in the following order: first, to all fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by or owing to Agent with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Collateral to the extent required to be paid, reimbursed or indemnified by any Loan Document; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on Protective Advances; third, to Protective Advances; fourth, to all fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by or owing to any Lender with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Collateral to the extent required to be paid, reimbursed or indemnified by any Loan Document; fifth, to accrued and unpaid interest on all other Obligations; sixth, to the principal amount of all other Obligations then due and owing; seventh, to all other outstanding Obligations (other than those described in clauses eighth and ninth below); eighth, to provide cash collateral to secure any contingent Obligations, and ninth, to provide cash collateral to secure Obligations owing to any Eligible Hedge Counterparty in respect of Hedge Agreements.

 

10


(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if an Acceleration Event shall have occurred and so long as it continues, Agent shall apply any and all payments received by Agent in respect of the Obligations, and any and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent, in the following order: first, to all fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by or owing to Agent with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Collateral to the extent required to be paid, reimbursed or indemnified by any Loan Document; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on Protective Advances; third, to Protective Advances; fourth, to all fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by or owing to any Lender with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Collateral to the extent required to be paid, reimbursed or indemnified by any Loan Document; fifth, to accrued and unpaid interest on all other Obligations (including any interest which, but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law regarding bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings, would have accrued on such amounts); sixth, ratably to the principal amount of all other Obligations outstanding; seventh, to all other outstanding Obligations and contingent Obligations excluding Obligations in respect of other Hedge Agreements; and eighth, to Obligations owing to any Eligible Hedge Counterparty in respect of any Hedge Agreements.

(iv) Any balance remaining after giving effect to the applications set forth in this Section 2.4 shall be delivered to Borrower or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such balance or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. In carrying out any of the applications set forth in this Section 2.4, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category and (ii) each of the Persons entitled to receive a payment or cash collateral in any particular category shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant thereto for such category. For the avoidance of doubt, in carrying out the foregoing application and allocation of payments set forth in this Section 2.4, no payments received by the Agent from any Loan Party shall be applied to Excluded Swap Obligations of such Loan Party.

(v) Reserved.

(vi) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 2.4 and any other provision contained in any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.4 shall control and govern.

 

11


(c) Reduction of Commitments.

(i) Revolver Commitments. The Revolver Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. Borrower may from time to time reduce the Revolver Commitments to an amount (which may be zero) not less than the sum of (A) the Revolver Usage as of such date, plus (B) the principal amount of all Advances not yet made as to which a request has been given by Borrower under Section 2.3(a). Each such reduction shall be in an amount which is not less than $50,000 (unless the Revolver Commitments are being reduced to zero and the amount of the Revolver Commitments in effect immediately prior to such reduction are less than $50,000), shall be made by providing not less than three (3) Business Days prior written notice to Agent (or such shorter period as Agent may agree to in its sole discretion), and shall be irrevocable; provided that if such reduction is in connection with a refinancing of this Agreement and termination of all of the Revolver Commitments, such notice may be revocable and/or extendable. Once reduced, the Revolver Commitments may not be increased. Each such reduction of the Revolver Commitments shall reduce the Revolver Commitments of each Lender proportionately in accordance with its ratable share thereof.

(ii) Initial Term Loan Commitments. The Initial Term Loan Commitments shall terminate upon the making of the Initial Term Loan.

(d) Optional Prepayments.

(i) Advances. Borrower may prepay the principal of any Advance at any time in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.

(ii) Term Loan and Incremental Term Loans. Borrower may, upon at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice to Agent (or such shorter period as Agent may agree to in its sole discretion), prepay the principal of the Term Loan or any Incremental Term Loan, in whole or in part. Any such notice of prepayment delivered in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall be irrevocable; provided that if such prepayment is in connection with the refinancing of this Agreement and repayment in full of all of the Commitments, such notice may be revocable and/or extendable. Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4(d)(ii) shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount prepaid and any Applicable Prepayment Premium and shall be in a minimum amount of $250,000 or such lesser amount specified in the relevant Incremental Amendment, if applicable. Each prepayment of the Term Loan or any Incremental Term Loan pursuant to this Section 2.4(d)(ii) shall be applied (x) to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan and any Incremental Term Loans on a pro rata basis until paid in full and (y) first, to Index Rate Loans, until paid in full, and second, to LIBOR Rate Loans, until paid in full.

(e) Mandatory Prepayments.

 

12


(i) Overadvances. If, at any time or for any reason, the Revolver Usage is greater than the Maximum Revolver Amount, Borrower shall promptly pay to Agent, in cash, the amount of such excess, which amount shall be used by Agent to reduce such excess Revolver Usage.

(ii) Dispositions. Within three (3) Business Days of the date of receipt by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of the Net Cash Proceeds of any sale or disposition by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of assets made in accordance with clauses (l), (n) and (p) of the definition of Permitted Dispositions or any other sale or disposition of assets that is not a Permitted Disposition (excluding (1) sales or dispositions resulting from casualty losses or condemnations, which are addressed in Section 2.4(e)(iv) below, and (2) sales and dispositions that result in aggregate Net Cash Proceeds of less than $250,000 in any fiscal year of Parent, Borrower shall apply (or cause to be applied) 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to a prepayment of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.4(f), it being agreed that Borrower shall not be required to apply (or cause to be applied) an amount in excess of such Net Cash Proceeds to such prepayment; provided that Parent or any of its Subsidiaries may reinvest all or a portion of such proceeds so long as (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (B) Borrower shall have given Agent written notice within such three (3) Business Day period of Borrower’s intention to reinvest or otherwise apply such proceeds to the costs of replacement of the properties or assets that are the subject of such sale or disposition or the cost of purchase or construction of other assets used or useful in the business of Parent or its Subsidiaries, (C) the monies (other than monies that are not required to be held in a Deposit Account or a Securities Account, in each case, subject to a Control Agreement pursuant to Section 6.11) are held in a Deposit Account or a Securities Account, in each case, in which Agent has a perfected first-priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens), and (D) Parent or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, complete such reinvestment, replacement, purchase, or construction within 365 days after the receipt of such proceeds.

Within three (3) Business Days of the date of incurrence by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness), Borrower shall apply (or cause to be applied) 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection with such incurrence to the prepayment of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.4(f), such prepayment shall be subject to a premium equal to any Applicable Prepayment Premium (it being agreed that Borrower shall not be required to apply (or cause to be applied) an amount in excess of such Net Cash Proceeds to such prepayment). The provisions of this Section 2.4(e)(iii) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such incurrence of Indebtedness otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

13


(iv) Insurance Proceeds. Within three (3) Business Days of the date of receipt by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of any Casualty Proceeds in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate during any fiscal year of Parent, Borrower shall apply (or cause to be applied) 100% of such Casualty Proceeds to a prepayment of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.4(f), it being agreed that Borrower shall not be required to apply (or cause to be applied) an amount in excess of such Casualty Proceeds to such prepayment; provided that Parent or any of its Subsidiaries may reinvest all or a portion of such proceeds so long as (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (B) Borrower shall have given Agent written notice within such three (3) Business Day period of Borrower’s intention to reinvest or otherwise apply such proceeds to the costs of replacement, purchase, or construction of assets used or useful in the business of Parent or its Subsidiaries, (C) the monies (other than monies that are not required to be held in a Deposit Account or a Securities Account, in each case, subject to a Control Agreement pursuant to Section 6.11) are held in a Deposit Account or a Securities Account, in each case in which Agent has a perfected first-priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) and (D) Parent or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, complete such reinvestment, replacement, purchase, or construction within three hundred sixty-five (365) days after the receipt of such proceeds.

(vi) Equity Cure Securities. Upon receipt by Borrower of any Financial Covenant Cure in connection with a Specified Financial Covenant Default under Section 7.1(a) from the issuance of Equity Cure Securities in accordance with Section 7.2, Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.4(f) in an amount equal to such Financial Covenant Cure.

Commencing with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019, no later than five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Parent’s annual audited financial statements for such fiscal year are delivered pursuant to Section 5.1, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to (A) the Required ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year less (B) cash applied to make prepayments pursuant to Section 2.4(d)(i), if accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in Revolver Commitments, or Section 2.4(d)(ii); provided that if the Required ECF Percentage is zero (0%), Borrower shall not be required to make a prepayment pursuant to this clause (vii). Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.4(f). Any such prepayment shall be accompanied by a certificate signed by the Borrower’s chief financial officer certifying in reasonable detail the manner in which Excess Cash Flow and the resulting prepayment were calculated, which certificate shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

 

14


(f) Application of Payments. Each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.4(e)(ii) through (e)(vii) above shall (A) so long as no Acceleration Event shall have occurred and be continuing, be applied, first, to the outstanding principal amount of the Protective Advances until paid in full, second, to the outstanding principal amount of the Initial Term Loan and any Incremental Term Loans on a pro rata basis until paid in full and third, to the outstanding principal amount of the Advances (without a corresponding permanent reduction in the Maximum Revolver Amount), until paid in full, and (B) if an Acceleration Event shall have occurred and be continuing, be applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.4(b)(iii). Each prepayment of the Initial Term Loan or any Incremental Term Loan pursuant to this Section 2.4(f) shall be applied first, to Index Rate Loans, until paid in full, and second, to LIBOR Rate Loans, until paid in full; provided, however, that with respect to clauses (A) and (B) of the preceding sentence amounts representing any Applicable Prepayment Premium shall be paid to the Lenders holding the Initial Term Loan or any Incremental Term Loans as a premium in connection with such prepayment; provided, further, that with respect to any prepayments made on or after the effective date of the Conversion Option, any partial prepayment of the Term Loans made by or on behalf of the Borrower shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments of the Term Loans (including the final installment due on the Maturity Date) in the inverse order of maturity as to remaining installments. Each prepayment of the Advances pursuant to this Section 2.4(f) shall be applied first, to Index Rate Loans, until paid in full, and second, to LIBOR Rate Loans, until paid in full.

2.5 Promise to Pay. Borrower promises to pay the Obligations (including principal, interest, fees, costs, and expenses) in Dollars in full on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which the Obligations are declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

2.6 Interest Rates: Rates, Payments, and Calculations.

(a) Interest Rates. Except as provided in Section 2.6(c), all Loans and other Obligations that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof as follows (in each case subject to the terms of Section 2.2(b) pertaining to the rates of interest accruing on the Incremental Term Loans and any adjustments to the LIBOR Margin and Index Rate Margin as a result thereof):

(i) if the relevant Obligation is a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Margin, and

(ii) otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the Index Rate plus the Index Rate Margin.

(b) Reserved.

(c) Default Rate. At the election of the Agent or Required Lenders, from and after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, or automatically upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 8.1, 8.4 or 8.5, all Obligations shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to two (2) percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder (the “Default Rate”).

 

15


(d) Payment. Except as provided to the contrary in Section 2.10 or Section 2.12(a), interest and all fees payable hereunder shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first Business Day of each month at any time that Obligations or Commitments are outstanding; provided that interest with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans shall be payable on the last day of any applicable LIBOR Period (for the avoidance of doubt, such payment shall be an interest payment for the LIBOR Period ending on such date) and as to any LIBOR Loan that has a LIBOR Period of more than three (3) months, at the end of each three (3) month interval. Borrower hereby authorizes Agent, from time to time without prior notice to Borrower and regardless of whether the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 are then satisfied, to charge all interest and fees (when due and payable), all Lender Group Expenses (as and when incurred), all costs (including the costs of maintaining insurance in accordance with Section 5.6), all fees provided for in Section 2.10 (as and when accrued or incurred), and all other payments (including, without limitation, payments of principal) as and when due and payable under any Loan Document to the Loan Account, which amounts thereafter shall constitute Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances that are Index Rate Loans. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by being charged to the Loan Account and shall thereafter constitute Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances that are Index Rate Loans (unless and until converted into LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) Agent shall not make any charges pursuant to this Section 2.6(d) to the extent that such charges would cause the Revolver Usage to exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount and (y) no Default or Event of Default shall be caused solely as a result of Agent making charges in accordance with this Section 2.6(d).

(e) Computation. All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year, in each case, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which the interest or fees accrue; provided that Index Rate Loans shall, in each case, be calculated on the basis of a 365 day year (or a 366 day year, in the case of a leap year).

(f) Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. Borrower and the Lender Group, in executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within it; provided, however, that, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if said rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto, as of the date of this Agreement, Borrower is and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum amount as is allowed by law, and payment received from Borrower in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the applicable Obligations to the extent of such excess, and if no such Obligations are then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to Borrower.

 

16


(g) The Borrower and the Lenders intend, for applicable income Tax purposes, that the Term Loans be treated as issued with “original issue discount” within the meaning of Section 1273(a) of the IRC and U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.1273-1. In addition, Borrower and Lenders agree that for U.S. federal income tax purposes the Term Notes shall not be treated as a contingent payment debt instrument under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1275-4. Borrower and Lenders shall adhere to these intended Tax treatments for U.S. federal income tax purposes and not take any action or file any Tax return, report or declaration inconsistent herewith unless required to do so by applicable law.

2.7 Crediting Payments. The receipt of any payment item by Agent shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment item is a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds made to the Agent’s Account or unless and until such payment item is honored when presented for payment. Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrower shall be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall be calculated accordingly.

2.8 Designated Account. Agent is authorized to make the Advances and the Term Loan under this Agreement based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an authorized Person of Borrower or, without instructions, pursuant to Section 2.6(d). Borrower agrees to establish and maintain the Designated Account with the Designated Account Bank for the purpose of receiving the proceeds of the Advances requested by Borrower and made by Agent or the Lenders hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed by Agent and Borrower, any Advance or Protective Advance and made by Agent or the Lenders hereunder shall be made to the Designated Account.

2.9 Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Obligations. Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of Borrower (the “Loan Account”) on which Borrower will be charged with the Term Loan, all Advances (including Protective Advances) made by Agent or the Lenders to Borrower or for Borrower’s account hereunder and with all other payment Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including accrued interest, fees and expenses, and Lender Group Expenses. In accordance with Section 2.7, the Loan Account will be credited with all payments received by Agent from Borrower or for Borrower’s account. Agent shall include in the Loan Account a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it in accordance with Section 13 hereof and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender, and the commitments of, and principal amount and interest of the Loans owing to, such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof. Agent shall render statements regarding the Loan Account to Borrower prior to each date on which an interest payment is due (it being understood and agreed that Agent’s failure to render any such statement shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation to make such payment), including principal, interest, fees, and including an itemization of all charges and expenses constituting Lender Group Expenses owing, such statements, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between Borrower and the Lender Group unless, within sixty (60) days after receipt thereof by Borrower (or such longer period as Agent may agree to in its sole discretion), Borrower shall deliver to Agent written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in any such statements.

2.10 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Agent (or TDL Lending, LLC, Series 7 and TC Lending, LLC, in the case of the TPG Fee Letter),

(a) for the account of Agent or TDL Lending, LLC, Series 7 and TC Lending, LLC, as applicable, as and when due and payable under the terms of each Fee Letter, the fees set forth in such Fee Letter.

(b) for the ratable account of those Lenders with Revolver Commitments, on the first (1st) Business Day of each month from and after the Restatement Date up to the first (1st) Business Day of the month prior to the Payoff Date and on the Payoff Date, an unused line fee in an amount equal to 0.50% per annum times the difference between (i) the Maximum Revolver Amount, and (ii) the average Daily Balance of the Revolver Usage during the immediately preceding month (or portion thereof).

2.11 [Reserved].

2.12 LIBOR Option.

(a) Borrower shall have the option (the “LIBOR Option”) to (i) request that any Advances or all or any portion of the Term Loans be made as a LIBOR Rate Loan, (ii) convert at any time all or any part of outstanding Loans from Index Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans, (iii) convert any LIBOR Rate Loan to an Index Rate Loan, subject to payment of LIBOR breakage costs, if any, in accordance with Section 2.12(b) if such conversion is made prior to the expiration of the LIBOR Period applicable thereto, or (iv) continue all or any portion of any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan upon the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Period and the succeeding LIBOR Period of that continued Loan shall commence on the last day of the LIBOR Period of the Loan to be continued. Loans for which Borrower has not elected the LIBOR Option shall be Index Rate Loans. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, Agent or Required Lenders may terminate Borrower’s right to exercise the LIBOR Option set forth in this Section 2.12(a). Any Loan to be made or continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Rate Loan must be in a minimum amount of $250,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of such amount. Any such election must be made by 12:00 noon (New York time) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to (1) the date of any proposed Advance which is to bear interest at the LIBOR Rate, (2) the end of each LIBOR Period with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loans to be continued as such, or (3) the date on which Borrower wishes to convert any Index Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan for a LIBOR Period designated by Borrower in such election. If no election is received with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan by 12:00 noon (New York time) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the end of the LIBOR Period with respect thereto, that LIBOR Rate Loan shall be converted to an Index Rate Loan at the end of its LIBOR Period. Borrower must make such election by notice to Agent in writing, by telecopy or overnight courier. In the case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice in the form of Exhibit B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time shall there be more than five (5) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding.

 

18


(b) To induce the Lenders to provide the LIBOR Rate option on the terms provided herein, if (i) any LIBOR Rate Loans are repaid in whole or in part prior to the last day of any applicable LIBOR Period (whether that repayment is made pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or is the result of acceleration, by operation of law or otherwise); (ii) Borrower shall default in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any LIBOR Rate Loan; (iii) Borrower shall default in making any borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans after Borrower has given irrevocable notice requesting the same in accordance herewith; or (iv) Borrower shall fail to make any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan after Borrower has given an irrevocable notice thereof in accordance herewith, Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Lender from and against all losses (other than loss of anticipated profits or investment), costs and expenses resulting from or arising from any of the foregoing. Such indemnification shall include any such loss or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it (but excluding loss of anticipated profit) or from fees payable to terminate deposits from which such funds were obtained. For the purpose of calculating amounts payable to a Lender under this subsection, each Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant LIBOR Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of that LIBOR Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant LIBOR Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this subsection. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, this covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all Obligations for six (6) months following any such termination. As promptly as practicable under the circumstances, each Lender shall provide Borrower with its written calculation of all amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.12(b), and such calculation shall be binding on the parties hereto unless Borrower shall object in writing within ten (10) Business Days of receipt thereof, specifying the basis for such objection in reasonable detail.

(c) Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Rate.

(i) The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs, in each case, due to changes in applicable law (other than changes in laws relative to Excluded Taxes, changes of general applicability in the corporate income tax laws and without duplication of Indemnified Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 16) occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), excluding the Reserve Percentage, which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding or maintaining loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give Borrower and Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, Borrower may, by notice to such affected Lender (x) require such Lender to furnish to Borrower a statement in reasonable detail setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, (y) convert the LIBOR Rate Loans into Index Rate Loans, or (z) repay the LIBOR Rate Loans with respect to which such adjustment is made (in the case of each of clauses (y) and (z), together with any amounts due under Section 2.12(b)).

 

19


(ii) In the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, such Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Agent and Borrower and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and (y) in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender that are outstanding, the date specified in such Lender’s notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loans, and interest upon the LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Index Rate Loans, and (z) Borrower shall not be entitled to elect the LIBOR Option until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so.

(d) No Requirement of Matched Funding. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is actually required to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at the LIBOR Rate and each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit.

2.13 Capital Requirements.

(a) If, after the date hereof, any Lender determines that (i) the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies, or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify Borrower and Agent thereof. Following receipt of such notice, Borrower agrees to pay such Lender on demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when such reduction is determined, payable within ten (10) days after presentation by such Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail such Lender’s calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error). In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 for any reductions in return incurred more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of such law, rule, regulation or guideline giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if such claim arises by reason of the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline that is retroactive, then the nine (9)-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

 

20


(b) If any Lender requests additional or increased costs referred to in Section 2.12(c)(i) or amounts under Section 2.13(a) or Section 16(a) (any such Lender, a “Affected Lender”), then such Affected Lender shall use reasonable efforts to promptly designate a different one of its lending offices or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices or branches, if (i) in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Lender, such designation or assignment would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12(c)(i) or Section 2.13(a) or Section 16(a), as applicable, and (ii) in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Lender, such designation or assignment would not subject it to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to it. Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Affected Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. If, after such reasonable efforts, such Affected Lender does not so designate a different one of its lending offices or assign its rights to another of its offices or branches so as to eliminate Borrower’s obligation to pay any future amounts to such Affected Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(c)(i), Section 2.13(a) or Section 16(a), as applicable, then Borrower (without prejudice to any amounts then due to such Affected Lender under Section 2.12(c)(i), Section 2.13(a) or Section 16(a), as applicable) may, unless prior to the effective date of any such assignment the Affected Lender withdraws its request for such additional amounts under Section 2.12(c)(i), Section 2.13(a) or Section 16(a), as applicable, designate another Lender reasonably acceptable to Agent to purchase at par the Obligations owed to such Affected Lender and such Affected Lender’s Commitments hereunder (a “Replacement Lender”), such Affected Lender shall assign to the Replacement Lender its Obligations and Commitments, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, and upon such purchase by the Replacement Lender, such Replacement Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the issuance of any rules, regulations or directions under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith after the date of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a change in law, rule, regulation or guideline for purposes of Sections 2.12 and 2.13 and the protection of Sections 2.12 and 2.13 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed, so long as it shall be customary for lenders or issuing banks affected thereby to comply therewith. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any.

2.14 Evidence of Indebtedness. Borrower agrees that: (i) upon written notice by any Lender to Borrower that a promissory note is requested by such Lender to evidence the Loans and other Obligations owing or payable to, or to be made by, such Lender, Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender (or to Agent or its representative) a Revolving Note (substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1) or Term Note (substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2) and (ii) upon any Lender’s written request, Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender new notes and/or divide the notes in exchange for then existing notes in such smaller amounts or denominations as such Lender shall specify in its sole and absolute discretion; provided that the aggregate principal amount of such new notes shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Revolving Note or Term Note outstanding at the time such request is made; provided, further, that such Notes that are to be replaced shall then be deemed no longer outstanding hereunder and replaced by such new notes and returned to Borrower substantially contemporaneously with Borrower’s delivery of the replacement notes. Regardless whether or not any such promissory notes are issued, this Agreement shall evidence the Loans and other Obligations owing or payable by Borrower to the Lenders.

 

21


2.15 Applicable Prepayment Premium. If Borrower pays (or is deemed to pay in the case of an acceleration of the Loans), for any reason (including, but not limited to, any optional or mandatory payment after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or after acceleration of the Loans including in connection with the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws, but in any event excluding ordinary course amortization payments made pursuant to Section 2.2(a) and mandatory prepayments made pursuant to Sections 2.4(e)(ii), 2.4(e)(iv), 2.4(e)(v), 2.4(e)(vi) and 2.4(e)(vii)), all or any part of the principal balance of the Term Loan prior to the second anniversary of the Restatement Date, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of all Lenders entitled to a portion of such prepayment, the Applicable Prepayment Premium. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if the Obligations are accelerated for any reason, including because of default, the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws, sale, disposition or encumbrance (including that by operation of law or otherwise), the Applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, determined as of the date of acceleration will also be due and payable as though said Indebtedness was voluntarily prepaid as of such date and shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s lost profits as a result thereof. Any Applicable Prepayment Premium payable in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the early termination and Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, shall also be payable (i) in the event the Obligations (and/or this Agreement or the Notes evidencing the Obligations) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means and/or (ii) upon the satisfaction, release, payment, restructuring, reorganization, replacement, reinstatement, defeasance or compromise of any of the Obligations (and/or this Agreement or the Notes evidencing the Obligations) in any Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws, foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding or otherwise), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means or the making of a distribution of any kind in any Insolvency Proceeding to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, in full or partial satisfaction of the Obligations. BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING YIELD MAINTENANCE PREMIUM AND PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION INCLUDING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY ACCELERATION OF THE OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO ANY INSOLVENCY PROCEEDING OR OTHER PROCEEDING PURSUANT TO ANY DEBTOR RELIEF LAWS OR PURSUANT TO A PLAN OF REORGANIZATION. Borrower expressly agrees that: (A) the Applicable Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Applicable Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders and Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Applicable Prepayment Premium; and (D) Borrower shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. The Borrower expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Applicable Prepayment Premium to Lenders as herein described is a material inducement to Lenders to provide the Commitments and make the Loans.

Section 3. CONDITIONS; TERM OF AGREEMENT.

3.1 Conditions Precedent to the Initial Extension of Credit. The obligation of each Lender to make its initial extension of credit provided for hereunder is subject solely to the waiver by Agent or satisfaction of each of the conditions precedent set forth on Schedule 3.1 (the making of such initial extension of credit by a Lender being conclusively deemed to be its satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent).

(a) the representations and warranties of Parent or its Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties to the extent that they are already qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) on and as of the date of such extension of credit, as though made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that are already qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) as of such earlier date);

(b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such extension of credit, nor shall either result from the making thereof; and

(c) The Agent shall have received a Notice of Advance in accordance with the requirements hereof.

3.3 Term. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on August 13, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”).

23


3.4 Effect of Termination. On the Maturity Date, all Obligations with respect to the Term Loan, the Revolver Commitments and any outstanding Advances immediately shall become due and payable without notice or demand. No termination of this Agreement, however, shall relieve or discharge Parent or its Subsidiaries of their duties, Obligations, or covenants hereunder or under any other Loan Document and the Agent’s Liens in the Collateral shall remain in effect until all Obligations have been paid in full and the Lender Group’s obligations to provide additional credit hereunder have been terminated. When this Agreement has been terminated and all of the Obligations have been paid in full and the Lender Group’s obligations to provide additional credit under the Loan Documents have been terminated irrevocably, Agent will, at Borrower’s sole expense, execute and deliver any termination statements (and Borrower shall be authorized to file termination statements), lien releases, mortgage releases, re-assignments of trademarks, discharges of security interests and cash collateral, and other similar discharge or release documents (and, if applicable, in recordable form) as are reasonably requested or necessary to release, as of record, the Agent’s Liens and all notices of security interests and liens previously filed by Agent with respect to the Obligations.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Section 5.1 or any other provision of a Loan Document shall require any Loan Party or any Subsidiaries, to take any action that would violate a confidentiality, legal or fiduciary obligation or waive any applicable legal privilege.

 

30


5.2 Collateral Reporting. Provide Agent (and, if so requested by Agent, with copies for each Lender) with each of the reports set forth on Schedule 5.2 at the times specified therein. Documents required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 5.2 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, as set forth on Schedule 5.2) may be delivered electronically (including by e-mail to addresses identified in writing by Agent to Borrower) and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date on which Agent receives such documents or written or electronic notice that such documents have been posted by Borrower or on Borrower’s behalf on an Internet or intranet website, if any, to which the Lenders have access. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Section 5.2 or any other provision of a Loan Document shall require any Loan Party or any Subsidiaries, to take any action that would violate a confidentiality, legal or fiduciary obligation or waive any applicable legal privilege.

5.3 Existence. Except as otherwise permitted under Section 6.3, each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence (including being in good standing in its jurisdiction of organization) and all rights and franchises, licenses and permits material to its business.

5.4 Maintenance of Properties. Maintain and preserve all of its assets that are necessary or useful in the proper conduct of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear, tear, and casualty excepted and Permitted Dispositions excepted (and except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change).

5.5 Taxes. Cause all assessments and taxes imposed, levied, or assessed against any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective assets or in respect of any of its income, businesses, or franchises to be paid in full, before delinquency or before the expiration of any extension period, except (a) as set forth on Schedule 4.7, (b) to the extent that the validity of such assessment or tax shall be the subject of a Permitted Protest or (c) to the extent delinquent taxes, assessments, or other governmental fees or charges outstanding in an aggregate amount do not exceed $250,000 at any time.

31


5.6 Insurance. At Borrower’s expense, maintain insurance respecting each of the Loan Parties’ and their Subsidiaries’ assets wherever located, covering loss or damage by fire, theft, explosion, and all other hazards and risks as ordinarily are insured against by other Persons engaged in the same or similar businesses. Borrower also shall maintain (with respect to each of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries) business interruption, public liability, and product liability insurance, as well as insurance against larceny, embezzlement, and criminal misappropriation. All such policies of insurance shall be with responsible and reputable insurance companies and in such amounts as is carried generally in accordance with sound business practice by companies in similar businesses similarly situated and located and in any event in amount, adequacy and scope reasonably satisfactory to Agent (it being agreed that the amount, adequacy, and scope of the policies of insurance of Borrower in effect as of the Restatement Date are acceptable to Agent). All property insurance policies covering the Collateral are to include a standard loss payable endorsement with a standard non-contributory “lender” or “secured party” clause in favor of Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and are to contain such other provisions as Agent may reasonably require to fully protect the Lenders’ interest in the Collateral and to any payments to be made under such policies. All certificates of insurance are to be delivered to Agent, with the loss payable (but only in respect of Collateral) and additional insured endorsement in favor of Agent and Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such certificates of insurance to provide for not less than thirty (30) days (ten (10) days in the case of non-payment) prior written notice to Agent of the exercise of any right of cancellation. If Borrower fails to maintain such insurance, Agent may arrange for such insurance, but at Borrower’s expense and without any responsibility on Agent’s part for obtaining the insurance, the solvency of the insurance companies, the adequacy of the coverage, or the collection of claims. Borrower shall give Agent prompt notice of any loss exceeding $250,000 covered by its casualty or business interruption insurance.

5.7 Inspection. Permit Agent and each of its duly authorized representatives or agents to visit any of its properties and inspect any of its assets or books and records, to conduct appraisals and valuations, to examine and make copies of its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances, and accounts with, and to be advised as to the same by, its officers and employees at such reasonable times and intervals as Agent may designate and, so long as no Event of Default exists, with reasonable prior notice to Borrower; provided, that the Loan Parties shall not be obligated to pay the costs of more than one inspection per calendar year, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case, such limit shall not apply. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing in this Section 5.7 shall require any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to take any action that would violate a confidentiality, legal or fiduciary obligation or waive any applicable legal privilege.

5.8 Compliance with Laws. Comply with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and orders of any Governmental Authority, other than laws, rules, regulations, and orders the non-compliance with which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change.

(b) comply, in all material respects, with Environmental Laws and provide to Agent documentation of such compliance which Agent reasonably requests,

Any document, agreement, or instrument executed or issued pursuant to this Section 5.11 shall be a Loan Document.

At any time upon the reasonable request of Agent, execute or deliver to Agent any and all financing statements, fixture filings, security agreements, pledges, assignments, endorsements of certificates of title, mortgages, deeds of trust, opinions of counsel, and all other documents (collectively, the “Additional Documents”) that Agent may reasonably request in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, to create, perfect, and continue perfected or to better perfect the Agent’s Liens in the Collateral of the Loan Parties (whether now owned or hereafter arising or acquired, tangible or intangible, real or personal), to create and perfect Liens in favor of Agent in any Real Property acquired by the Loan Parties after the Restatement Date with a fair market value in excess of $1,000,000, and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated hereby and under the other Loan Documents); provided that the foregoing shall not apply if the costs to the Loan Parties of providing such documents are unreasonably excessive (as determined by Agent in consultation with Borrower) in relating to the benefits of Agent and the Lenders of the benefits afforded thereby. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each of Parent and Borrower authorizes Agent to execute any such Additional Documents in the applicable Loan Party’s or its Subsidiary’s name, as applicable, and authorizes Agent to file such executed Additional Documents in any appropriate filing office. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Loan Party shall take such actions as Agent may reasonably request from time to time to ensure that the Obligations are guaranteed by the Guarantors and are secured by substantially all of the assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries and all of the outstanding capital Stock of Borrower and Borrower’s Subsidiaries (subject to limitations contained in the Loan Documents with respect to Foreign Subsidiaries and Excluded Subsidiaries). Without limiting the foregoing, each Loan Party will, and will cause each Subsidiary that is a Loan Party to, (i) obtain Control Agreements with respect to deposit accounts and securities accounts (other than accounts not required to be subject to a Control Agreement in accordance with Section 6.11) as required by the Collateral Documents and (ii) upon the reasonable request of Agent, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Lien waivers and collateral access agreements from landlords, bailees and mortgagees of facilities at which any material Collateral is stored or located or as required by Section 5.14(d), in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

(d) Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each of its Subsidiaries to, enter into Collateral Access Agreements in favor of Agent with respect to any primary data center site or headquarters location, in each case, in form and substance acceptable to the Agent.

(c) Maximum Total Leverage Ratio. On and after the effective date of the Conversion Option (beginning with the fiscal quarter immediately succeeding the fiscal quarter for which the Borrower has delivered to the Agent and Lenders financial statements in order to invoke the Conversion Option in accordance with Section 7.1(d)), have a Total Leverage Ratio, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, which shall not exceed a level determined for such fiscal quarter pursuant to Section 7.1(d).

(d) Conversion Option. On any date of delivery of quarterly financial statements in accordance with Section 5.1 for any fiscal quarter ending after October 1, 2019, the Borrower may elect to terminate the requirement to comply with Sections 7.1(a) and (b) and instead be required to comply with Section 7.1(c) (it being agreed that the covenant levels for Section 7.1(c) shall be set at approximately 30% cushions to the Borrower’s projection model that is received by the Agent and the Lenders prior to the desired date of conversion and is acceptable to the Required Lenders in their sole discretion) (such election referred to as the “Conversion Option”); provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be permitted to elect the Conversion Option if at the time of such election (i) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) the Total Leverage Ratio (for purposes hereof the Total Leverage Ratio shall be calculated based on (x) the amount of Total Indebtedness as of the date of such election and (y) Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve (12) consecutive fiscal month period ended as of the last day of the most recent fiscal month for which financial statements have been delivered to Agent in accordance with Section 5.1) is greater than 6.50 to 1.00.

For the avoidance of doubt, after the effectiveness of a Conversion Option, the Loan Parties shall not have any unilateral right to unwind or terminate the Conversion Option or any changes to the terms hereof effected thereby, including, without limitation, reinstating the prior financial covenants.

 

43


7.2 In the event Borrower fails to comply with any financial covenant contained in Sections 7.1(a), 7.1(b) or 7.1(c) (a “Specified Financial Covenant Default”), Borrower shall have the right to cure such Event of Default on the following terms and conditions (the “Equity Cure Right”):

(a) In the event Borrower desires to cure the Specified Financial Covenant Default, Borrower shall deliver to Agent irrevocable written notice of its intent to cure (a “Cure Notice”) no later than five (5) Business Days after the date on which financial statements and a Compliance Certificate for the period ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter with respect to which such Specified Financial Covenant Default occurred (the “Testing Dates”) are required to be delivered. The Cure Notice shall set forth the calculation of the applicable “Financial Covenant Cure” (as hereinafter defined);

(b) In the event Borrower delivers a Cure Notice, Equity Sponsor shall, directly or indirectly, make a cash equity contribution to Parent all of the proceeds of which will be immediately contributed to Borrower (funded with proceeds of common equity issued by Parent or other equity issued by Parent having terms reasonably acceptable to Agent and, in any case, not constituting Prohibited Preferred Stock (the “Equity Cure Securities”)) no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the financial statements are due pursuant to Section 5.1 for the relevant fiscal quarter (the “Required Contribution Date”). The cash consideration received by Borrower in connection with the issuance of Equity Cure Securities (the “Financial Covenant Cure”) shall be in an amount equal which when deemed to (x) prepay the Loans in connection with Specified Financial Covenant Default under Section 7.1(a), (y) increase the Liquidity of the Borrower in connection with Specified Financial Covenant Default under Section 7.1(b), or (z) increase EBITDA in connection with a Specified Financial Covenant Default under Section 7.1(c), would result in Parent being in pro forma compliance with such financial covenant as of such Testing Date and shall not exceed the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with such financial covenants; provided that, (x) after giving effect to any such Financial Covenant Cure in connection with a Specified Financial Covenant Default under Section 7.1(a) or 7.1(b), the aggregate amount of all Financial Covenant Cures during the term of this Agreement shall not exceed $20,000,000, (y) the amount of Obligations required to be prepaid to cause Borrower to be in compliance with the financial covenant in Section 7.1(a) shall be calculated without giving effect to any repayment of Advances made with the proceeds of any Financial Covenant Cure in respect of a Specified Financial Covenant Default under Section 7.1(b) and (z) the amount of Obligations prepaid with proceeds of any Financial Covenant Cure in respect of a Specified Financial Covenant Default under Section 7.1(c) shall be deemed outstanding for purposes of determining compliance with such financial covenant for the fiscal quarter in respect of which the Financial Covenant Cure is being made and the next three (3) fiscal quarters thereafter.

(c) The Equity Cure Right shall not be exercised (i) in any consecutive fiscal quarters, (ii) more than twice in any four (4) fiscal quarter period or (iii) more than five (5) times during the term of this Agreement;

(d) For a failure to comply with a Specified Financial Covenant Default under Section 7.1(a) or 7.1(c), upon timely receipt by Borrower, the Financial Covenant Cure shall be used to prepay the Obligations pursuant to Section 2.4(e)(vi). For a failure to comply with a Specified Financial Covenant Default under Section 7.1(b), upon timely receipt by Borrower, the Financial Covenant Cure shall be deemed to increase Liquidity to the extent that outstanding Advances are repaid with such Financial Covenant Cure or such Financial Covenant Cure is contributed to the balance sheet of the Borrower. For a failure to comply with a Specified Financial Covenant Default under Section 7.1(c), the Financial Covenant Cure shall be deemed to increase EBITDA for purposes of determining compliance with such financial covenant (and not for any other purpose). Upon the satisfaction of the requirements of this clause (d), the relevant Specified Financial Covenant Default(s) shall be deemed cured for all purposes under this Agreement and Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the financial covenants; and

 

44


(e) Until the earlier of (i) the tenth (10th) Business Day following the date of the end of such fiscal quarter and (ii) the date on which Agent learns that the Equity Sponsor does not intend to purchase the Equity Cure Securities, none of Agent nor any Lender shall exercise any right or remedy under the Loan Documents, including the right to accelerate the Loans or terminate the Commitments, and none of Agent nor any other Lender or secured party shall exercise any right to foreclose on or take possession of the Collateral solely on the basis of an Event of Default having occurred and being continuing under Section 7.1(a), 7.1(b) or 7.1(c) hereof.

9.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, at the instruction of the Required Lenders, Agent shall, in each case by written notice to Borrower and in addition to any other rights or remedies provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document or by applicable law, do any one or more of the following on behalf of the Lender Group:

(a) declare the Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be immediately due and payable and Borrower shall be obligated to repay all of such Obligations in full, without presentment, demand, protest, or further notice or other requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, waived by Borrower;

(b) declare the Revolver Commitments terminated, whereupon the Revolver Commitments shall immediately be terminated together with any obligation of any Lender hereunder to make Advances, and

(c) exercise all other rights and remedies available to Agent or Lenders under the Loan Documents, under applicable law, or in equity.

The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 8.4 or Section 8.5, in addition to the remedies set forth above, without any notice to Borrower or any other Person or any act by the Lender Group, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the Obligations then outstanding, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees and all other amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall automatically and immediately become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, by Parent and Borrower.

9.2 Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Lender Group under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. The Lender Group shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by the Lender Group of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by the Lender Group of any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by the Lender Group shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.

Borrower hereby agrees that: (a) so long as Agent complies with its obligations, if any, under the Code, the Lender Group shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (i) the safekeeping of the Collateral, (ii) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause, (iii) any diminution in the value thereof, or (iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person, and (b) all risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not excuse the Agent or the Lender Group from any liability or loss in respect of the foregoing to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines such loss or liability to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Agent or any member of the Lender Group.

10.3 Indemnification. Borrower shall pay, indemnify, defend, and hold the Agent-Related Persons, the Lender-Related Persons, and each Participant (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, and damages, and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them (a) in connection with or as a result of or related to the execution and delivery, enforcement, performance, or administration (including any restructuring or workout with respect hereto) of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the monitoring of Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents (provided, that the indemnification in this clause (a) shall not extend to (i) disputes solely between or among the Lenders, (ii) disputes solely between or among the Lenders and their respective Affiliates; it being understood and agreed that the indemnification in this clause (a) shall extend to Agent (but not the Lenders) relative to disputes between or among Agent on the one hand, and one or more Lenders, or one or more of their Affiliates, on the other hand, (iii) disputes solely between or among the Lenders and any Participant, or (iv) any Taxes or any costs attributable to Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 16), (b) with respect to any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or the use of the proceeds of the credit provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto), or any act, omission, event, or circumstance in any manner related thereto, and (c) in connection with or arising out of any presence or release of Hazardous Materials at, on, under, to or from any assets or properties owned, leased or operated by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Actions, Environmental Liabilities and costs or Remedial Actions related in any way to any such assets or properties of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (each and all of the foregoing, the “Indemnified Liabilities”). The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower shall have no obligation to any Indemnified Person under this Section 10.3 with respect to any Indemnified Liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment in full of the Obligations. If any Indemnified Person makes any payment to any other Indemnified Person with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which Borrower was required to indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving such payment, the Indemnified Person making such payment is entitled to be indemnified and reimbursed by Borrower with respect thereto. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR OF ANY OTHER PERSON.

Section 13. ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS; SUCCESSORS.

13.1 Assignments and Participations.

(a) With the prior written consent of Borrower, which consent of Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof) and shall not be required (1) if an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 8.1, 8.4 or 8.5 has occurred and is continuing, (2) if an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 8.2(a) (solely with respect to Section 7.1(a), 7.1(b) or 7.1(c)) or 8.2(b) (solely with respect to Section 5.1) has occurred and is continuing and such Event of Default has not been cured or waived within thirty (30) consecutive days and (3) in connection with an assignment to a Person that is a Lender or an Affiliate (other than individuals) or Related Fund of a Lender, and with the prior written consent of Agent, which consent of Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and shall not be required in connection with an assignment to a Person that is a Lender or an Affiliate (other than individuals) or Related Fund of a Lender, any Lender may assign and delegate to one or more assignees (each an “Assignee”; provided that (A) except as set forth in Section 13.4 below, no Loan Party, Affiliate of a Loan Party, Equity Sponsor, Affiliate of Equity Sponsor (including any Control Investment Affiliate), Person that is a holder of any Indebtedness that ranks pari passu with, or is subordinated to, the Obligations or an Affiliate of any such Person shall be permitted to become an Assignee and (B) no Competitor shall be permitted to become an Assignee) all or any portion of the Obligations, the Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, in a minimum amount (unless waived by the Agent) of $1,000,000 in the case of an assignment of Revolver Commitments or $1,000,000 in the case of assignments or delegations of any other Obligations, Commitments or other rights (except such minimum amounts shall not apply to (x) an assignment or delegation by any Lender to any other Lender or an Affiliate or Related Fund of any Lender or (y) a group of new Lenders, each of which is an Affiliate or Related Fund of such new Lender to the extent that the aggregate amount to be assigned to all such new Lenders is at least $1,000,000 in the case of an assignment of Revolver Commitments or $1,000,000 in the case of assignments or delegations of any other Obligations, Commitments or other rights); provided, however, that Borrower and Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses, and related information with respect to the Assignee, have been given to Borrower and Agent by such Lender and the Assignee, (ii) such Lender and its Assignee have delivered to Borrower and Agent an Assignment and Acceptance and Agent has notified the assigning Lender of its receipt thereof in accordance with Section 13.1(b), and (iii) unless (x) waived by the Agent, or (y) such assignment shall be among a Lender and its Affiliates or Related Fund, the assigning Lender or Assignee has paid to Agent for Agent’s separate account a processing fee in the amount of $3,500.

(b) From and after the date that Agent notifies the assigning Lender (with a copy to Borrower) that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and, if applicable, payment of the required processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except with respect to Section 10.3 hereof) and be released from any future obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and thereto); provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall release any assigning Lender from obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement, including such assigning Lender’s obligations under Section 15 and Section 17.8(a) of this Agreement.

 

53


(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrower or the performance or observance by Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to Agent, by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will perform all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) Immediately upon Agent’s receipt of the required processing fee, if applicable, and delivery of notice to the assigning Lender pursuant to Section 13.1(b), this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender pro tanto.

(e) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons (each, a “Participant”; provided that no Loan Party, Affiliate of a Loan Party, Equity Sponsor, Affiliate of Equity Sponsor (including any Control Investment Affiliate), Person that is a holder of any Indebtedness that ranks pari passu with, or is subordinated to, the Obligations, any Competitor or an Affiliate of any such Person shall be permitted to become a Participant) participating interests in all or any portion of its Obligations, its Commitment, and the other rights and interests of that Lender (the “Originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the Originating Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Participant receiving the participating interest in the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and interests of the Originating Lender hereunder shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the Originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrower, Agent, and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in connection with the Originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has the right to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment to, or consent or waiver with respect to this Agreement or of any other Loan Document would (A) extend the final maturity date of the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (B) reduce the interest rate applicable to the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or guaranties (except to the extent expressly provided herein or in any of the Loan Documents) supporting the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (D) postpone the payment of, or reduce the amount of, the interest or fees payable to such Participant through such Lender (except in connection with any unscheduled prepayment), or (E) change the amount or due dates of scheduled principal repayments or premiums, and (v) except as provided in Section 16, all amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed, to the extent permitted or not prohibited by law, to have the right of set off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. The rights of any Participant only shall be derivative through the Originating Lender with whom such Participant participates and no Participant shall have any rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any direct rights as to the other Lenders, Agent, Borrower, the Collections of Borrower or its Subsidiaries, the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Obligations. No Participant shall have the right to participate directly in the making of decisions by the Lenders among themselves.

 

54


(f) In connection with any such assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation or any grant of a security interest in, or pledge of, its rights under and interest in this Agreement, a Lender may, subject to the provisions of Section 17.8, disclose all documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to Parent and its Subsidiaries and their respective businesses.

(g) Any other provision in this Agreement notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Bank or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.24, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law; provided, that no such security interest or pledge shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any pledgee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(h) Agent (as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of Borrower) shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, a register (the “Register”) on which it enters the name and address of each Lender as the registered owner of the Term Loan (and the principal amount thereof and stated interest thereon) held by such Lender (each, a “Registered Loan”). Other than in connection with an assignment by a Lender of all or any portion of its portion of the Term Loan to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender (i) a Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide) and (ii) any assignment or sale of all or part of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register, together with the surrender of the registered note, if any, evidencing the same duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or sale duly executed by) the holder of such registered note, whereupon, at the request of the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new registered notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s). Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of any Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any evidencing the same), Borrower shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In the case of any assignment by a Lender of all or any portion of the Term Loan to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender, and which assignment is not recorded in the Register, the assigning Lender, on behalf of Borrower, shall maintain a register comparable to the Register.

 

55


(i) In the event that a Lender sells participations in the Registered Loan, such Lender, as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Registered Loans held by it (the “Participant Register”). A Registered Loan (and the Registered Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). Any participation of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register.

(j) Agent shall make a copy of the Register (and each Lender shall make a copy of its Participant Register in the event it has one) available for review by Borrower from time to time as Borrower may reasonably request. Each Lender shall be permitted to review a copy of the Register from time to time at such Lender’s request.

13.2 Successors. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without the Lenders’ prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void ab initio. No consent to assignment by the Lenders shall release Borrower from its Obligations. A Lender may assign this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder and thereunder pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof and, except as expressly required pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof, no consent or approval by Borrower is required in connection with any such assignment.

13.3 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Neither the failure of any Defaulting Lender to make any Loan or purchase any participation required to be made or purchased by it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement nor the status of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender shall relieve any other Lender (each such other Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its obligations to make such Loan or purchase such participation on such date, but neither any Other Lender nor Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Defaulting Lender to make a Loan to be made, or to purchase a participation to be purchased, by such Defaulting Lender, and no Other Lender shall have any obligation to Agent or any other Lender for the failure by such Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Defaulting Lender of the type described in clause (a) of the definition of Defaulting Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or constitute a “Lender” or a “Revolving Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Required Lenders” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document; provided that the foregoing shall not permit, without the consent of such Defaulting Lender, (i) an increase in the principal amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment, (ii) the reduction of the principal of, rate of interest on (other than reducing or waiving the Default Rate) or Fees payable with respect to any Loan of such Defaulting Lender or (iii) unless all other Lenders affected thereby are treated similarly, the extension of any scheduled payment date or final maturity date of the principal among of any Loan of such Defaulting Lender (it being understood and agreed that payments pursuant to Section 2.4(e) are not “scheduled”).

 

56


(b) reserved.

(c) Agent shall be authorized to use all payments received by Agent for the benefit of any Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Agreement to pay in full the Excess Funding Amount to the appropriate Lenders. With respect to such Defaulting Lender’s failure to fund Advances, any amounts applied by Agent to satisfy such funding shortfalls shall be deemed to constitute an Advance or amount of the participation required to be funded and, if necessary to effectuate the foregoing, the other Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have sold, and such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, Advance interests from the other Revolving Lenders until such time as the aggregate amount of the Advances are held by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares of the Revolver Commitment (without giving effect to any reallocation pursuant to Section 13.3(b)). Any amounts owing by a Defaulting Lender to Agent which are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the interest rate applicable during such period to Advances that are Index Rate Loans. Payments made by any Loan Party to Agent in compliance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall not constitute Defaults or Events of Default solely because the same were not distributed to a Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms of this Section 13.3(c). The “Excess Funding Amount” of a Defaulting Lender shall be the aggregate amount of all unpaid obligations owing by such Lender to Agent and other Lenders under the Loan Documents, including such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all Advances.

(d) reserved.

(e) A Lender that is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (a) of the definition thereof shall not earn and shall not be entitled to receive, and the Borrower shall not be required to pay, such Lender’s portion of the fee described in Section 2.10(b) during the time such Lender is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (a) of the definition thereof.

13.4 Right of First Refusal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender desires to assign all or any portion of the Obligations, the Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Offered Obligations”) to a Person that would be a Competitor but for the existence of an Event of Default under Section 8.2(a) or 8.2(b) that causes such Person to cease being a Competitor in accordance with the definition thereof, then prior to consummating such assignment, such Lender shall first offer to make such assignment to the Equity Sponsor by providing written notice to the Equity Sponsor identifying (i) the Offered Obligations and (ii) the purchase price for such Offered Obligations. Unless the Equity Sponsor purchases the Offered Obligations (or enters into a binding agreement with such Lender to purchase the Offered Obligations, which purchase shall be consummated within twelve (12) Business Days of such agreement and such agreement shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent (each, an “Offered Obligations Contract”)) within three (3) Business Days of the notice referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, such Lender may make such assignment of the Offered Obligations to a Person that would be a Competitor but for the existence of an Event of Default under Section 8.2(a) or 8.2(b) (and such Person shall be permitted to be an Assignee under Section 13.1). To the extent that the Equity Sponsor accepts such offer within such three (3) Business Day period, the Equity Sponsor shall immediately transfer (or transfer by the date specified in the relevant Offered Obligations Contract) the purchase price of the Offered Obligations to such Lender in exchange for the Offered Obligations and the Offered Obligations shall automatically be deemed to be cancelled and shall no longer be outstanding under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 13.4 shall not apply to the extent that any Event of Default under Sections 8.1, 8.4 or 8.5 has occurred and is continuing.

 

57


Section 14. AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS.

14.1 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) No amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than the Fee Letters), and no consent with respect to any departure by Parent or Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or by Agent at the written request of the Required Lenders) and Parent and Borrower and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective, but only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the Lenders directly affected thereby and Parent and Borrower, do any of the following:

(c) reserved,

(d) Anything in this Section 14.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, any amendment, waiver, modification, elimination, or consent of or with respect to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be entered into without the consent of, or over the objection of, any Defaulting Lender of the type described in clause (a) or (e) of the definition thereof, other than any of the matters governed by Section 14.1(a)(i) through (iii) that affect such Lender.

14.2 Replacement of Holdout Lender.

(a) If any action to be taken by the Lender Group or Agent hereunder requires the unanimous consent, authorization, or agreement of all Lenders and if such action has received the consent, authorization, or agreement of the Required Lenders (without giving effect to the second proviso in the definition of “Required Lenders”) but not all of the Lenders, then Agent, upon at least five (5) Business Days prior irrevocable notice, may permanently replace any Lender (a “Holdout Lender”) that failed to give its consent, authorization, or agreement with one or more Replacement Lenders, and the Holdout Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder. Such notice to replace the Holdout Lender shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which date shall not be later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date such notice is given.

(b) Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender and each Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, subject only to the Holdout Lender being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations, including the Applicable Prepayment Premium due and owing to the Holdout Lender at the time of the occurrence of such assignment described in this Section 14.2 as if such assignment was a prepayment by the Borrower of the Obligations owing to the Holdout Lender. If the Holdout Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance. The replacement of any Holdout Lender shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 13.1. Until such time as the Replacement Lenders shall have acquired all of the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and obligations of the Holdout Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Holdout Lender shall remain obligated to make the Holdout Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Advances.

14.3 No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or delay by Agent or any Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by Agent or any Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by Agent or any Lender on any occasion shall affect or diminish Agent’s and each Lender’s rights thereafter to require strict performance by Parent and Borrower of any provision of this Agreement. Agent’s and each Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy that Agent or any Lender may have.

Section 15. AGENT; THE LENDER GROUP.

15.1 Appointment and Authorization of Agent. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Golub Capital as its representative under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to execute and deliver each of the other Loan Documents on its behalf and to take such other action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 15. The provisions of this Section 15 are solely for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders, and Parent and its Subsidiaries shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document notwithstanding, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent; it being expressly understood and agreed that the use of the word “Agent” is for convenience only, that Golub Capital is merely the representative of the Lenders, and only has the contractual duties set forth herein. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions that Agent expressly is entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to Agent, Lenders agree that Agent shall have the right to exercise the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in effect: (a) maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Parent and its Subsidiaries, and related matters, (b) execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents, (c) make Advances, for itself or on behalf of Lenders, as provided in the Loan Documents, (d) exclusively receive, apply, and distribute the Collections of Parent and its Subsidiaries as provided in the Loan Documents, (e) open and maintain such bank accounts and cash management arrangements as Agent deems necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes with respect to the Collateral and the Collections of Parent and its Subsidiaries, (f) perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lender Group with respect to Parent or its Subsidiaries, the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Parent and its Subsidiaries, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents, and (g) incur and pay such Lender Group Expenses as Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents.

15.2 Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

15.3 Liability of Agent. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any officer or director thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of Parent or its Subsidiaries or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the books and records or properties of Parent or its Subsidiaries.

 

61


15.4 Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrower or counsel to any Lender), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless Agent shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate and until such instructions are received, Agent shall act, or refrain from acting, as it deems advisable. If Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

15.5 Notice of Default or Event of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and expenses required to be paid to Agent for the account of the Lenders and, except with respect to Events of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Agent promptly will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify the other Lenders and Agent of such Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any notices to its Participants, if any. Subject to Section 15.4, Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 9, and unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may refrain from taking any action with respect to such Default or Event of Default.

15.6 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Parent and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document. Except for notices, reports, and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

15.7 Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. Agent may incur and pay Lender Group Expenses to the extent Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including court costs, attorney’s fees and expenses, fees and expenses of financial accountants, advisors, consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and expenses, and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether or not Borrower is obligated to reimburse Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from the Collections of Parent and its Subsidiaries received by Agent to reimburse Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders. In the event Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses by Parent or its Subsidiaries, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), according to their Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct nor shall any Lender be liable for the obligations of any Defaulting Lender in failing to make an Advance or other extension of credit hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including attorneys, accountants, advisors, and consultants fees and expenses) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. The undertaking in this Section 15.7 shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Agent.

15.8 Agent in Individual Capacity. Golub Capital and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents as though Golub Capital were not Agent hereunder, and, in each case, without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Golub Capital or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Parent or its Affiliates or any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Parent or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. The terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Golub Capital in its individual capacity.

 

63


15.9 Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Lenders (unless such notice is waived by the Required Lenders) and Borrower (unless such notice is waived by Borrower). If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall be entitled, with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), appoint a successor Agent for the Lenders. Any successor Agent shall be a U.S. Person. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and Borrower, a successor Agent. If Agent has materially breached or failed to perform any material provision of this Agreement or of applicable law, the Required Lenders, with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), may agree in writing to remove and replace Agent with a successor Agent from among the Lenders. In any such event, upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor Agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers, and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 15 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.

15.10 Lender in Individual Capacity

(a) Any Lender and its respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents as though such Lender were not a Lender hereunder without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, such Lender and its respective Affiliates may receive information regarding Parent or its Affiliates or any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Parent or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver such Lender will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), such Lender shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them.

 

64


(b) Golub Capital, in its capacity as Agent shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those expressly provided for herein or applicable to it in its capacities as Lender and as Agent. Without limiting the foregoing, Golub Capital in its capacity as Agent, shall not be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with Borrower or with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied upon, and will not rely upon, Golub Capital in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

15.11 Collateral Matters.

(a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent to release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by Borrower of all of the Obligations, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if a release is required or desirable in connection therewith and if Borrower certifies to Agent that the sale or disposition is permitted under Section 6.4 (and Agent may rely conclusively on any certificate of an officer of the Borrower, without further inquiry), (iii) constituting property in which Parent or its Subsidiaries owned no interest at the time the security interest under the Collateral Documents was granted nor at any time thereafter, (iv) constituting property leased or licensed to Parent or its Subsidiaries under a lease or license that has expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, (v) release any Guarantor of all or any portion of the Obligations if all of the Stock of such Guarantor is sold in a transaction permitted under the Agreement, or (vi) in connection with a credit bid or purchase authorized under this Section 15.11. The Loan Parties and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to (a) consent to, credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale or other disposition thereof conducted under the provisions of the Code, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the Code, or (c) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any other sale or foreclosure conducted or consented to by Agent in accordance with applicable law in any judicial action or proceeding or by the exercise of any legal or equitable remedy. Except as provided above, Agent will not execute and deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral without the prior written authorization of (y) if the release is of all or substantially all of the Collateral, all of the Lenders, or (z) otherwise, the Required Lenders. Upon request by Agent or Borrower at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 15.11; provided, that (1) anything to the contrary contained in any of the Loan Documents notwithstanding, Agent shall not be required to execute any document or take any action necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in Agent’s opinion, could expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly released) upon (or obligations of Borrower in respect of) any and all interests retained by Borrower, including, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. Each Lender further hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to subordinate any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Permitted Lien on such property if such Permitted Lien secures Permitted Purchase Money Indebtedness.

15.12 Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments.

(a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the written request of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to Parent or its Subsidiaries or any deposit accounts of Parent or its Subsidiaries now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including, the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings to enforce any Loan Document against Borrower or any Guarantor or to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral.

(b) If, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from Agent in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all such distributions by Agent, such Lender promptly shall (A) turn the same over to Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to Agent, or in immediately available funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (B) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that to the extent that such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.

 

66


15.13 Agency for Perfection. Agent hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent (and each Lender hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting the Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the Code can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions.

15.14 Payments by Agent to the Lenders. All payments to be made by Agent to the Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to such wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to Agent.

15.15 Concerning the Collateral and Related Loan Documents. Each member of the Lender Group authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each member of the Lender Group agrees that any action taken by Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral and the exercise by Agent of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

15.16 Audits and Examination Reports; Confidentiality; Disclaimers by Lenders; Other Reports and Information. By becoming a party to this Agreement, each Lender:

(a) is deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination report respecting Parent or its Subsidiaries (each a “Report” and collectively, “Reports”) prepared by or at the request of Agent, and Agent shall so furnish each Lender with such Reports,

(b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent does not (i) make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report,

(c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that Agent or other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Parent and its Subsidiaries and will rely significantly upon Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ books and records, as well as on representations of Borrower’s personnel,

(d) agrees to keep all Reports and other material, non-public information regarding Parent and its Subsidiaries and their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans in a confidential manner in accordance with Section 17.8, and

(e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold Agent and any other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or fail to take or any conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a loan or loans of Borrower, and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold Agent, and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including, attorney’s fees and costs) incurred by Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

In addition to the foregoing: (x) any Lender may from time to time request of Agent in writing that Agent provide to such Lender a copy of any report or document provided by Parent or its Subsidiaries to Agent that has not been contemporaneously provided by Parent or such Subsidiary to such Lender, and, upon receipt of such request, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, (y) to the extent that Agent is entitled, under any provision of the Loan Documents, to request additional reports or information from Parent or its Subsidiaries, any Lender may, from time to time, reasonably request Agent to exercise such right as specified in such Lender’s notice to Agent, whereupon Agent promptly shall request of Borrower the additional reports or information reasonably specified by such Lender, and, upon receipt thereof from Parent or such Subsidiary, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, and (z) any time that Agent renders to Borrower a statement regarding the Loan Account, Agent shall send a copy of such statement to each Lender.

15.17 Several Obligations; No Liability. Notwithstanding that certain of the Loan Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of the Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of Agent (if any) to make any credit available hereunder shall constitute the several (and not joint) obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their respective Commitments, to make an amount of such credit not to exceed, in principal amount, at any one time outstanding, the amount of their respective Commitments. Nothing contained herein shall confer upon any Lender any interest in, or subject any Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any other Lender. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the extent any such notice may be required, and no Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or liability to any Participant of any other Lender. Except as provided in Section 15.7, no member of the Lender Group shall have any liability for the acts of any other member of the Lender Group. No Lender shall be responsible to Borrower or any other Person for any failure by any other Lender to fulfill its obligations to make credit available hereunder, nor to advance for it or on its behalf in connection with its Commitment, nor to take any other action on its behalf hereunder or in connection with the financing contemplated herein.

Section 16. WITHHOLDING TAXES.

(a) All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under any note or other Loan Document will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then Borrower or Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable party receiving such payment receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts if the increase in such amount payable results from Agent’s or such Lender’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). Borrower will furnish to Agent as promptly as possible after the date the payment of any Tax is due pursuant to applicable law, documentary proof reasonably satisfactory to Agent evidencing such payment by Borrower.

(b) Borrower agrees to pay any Other Taxes in accordance with applicable law.

(c) (i) If a Lender (which for purposes of Section 16(c) through (f) includes Agent) is entitled to claim an exemption or reduction from United States withholding tax, such Lender agrees with and in favor of Agent and Borrower, to deliver to Agent and Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will permit payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will enable Borrower or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

 

69


(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably 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 reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) if such Lender is a Foreign Lender entitled to claim an exemption from United States withholding tax pursuant to its portfolio interest exception under Section 881(c) of the IRC, (x) a statement of the Lender, signed under penalty of perjury, that it is not a (I) a “bank” as described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (II) a 10% shareholder of Borrower (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRC), or (III) a controlled foreign corporation related to Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC, and (y) a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN (or applicable successor form);

(ii) if such Lender is a Foreign Lender entitled to claim an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(iii) if such Lender is entitled to claim that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such Lender, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI (or applicable successor form); or

(iv) if such Lender is a Foreign Lender entitled to claim that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because such Lender serves as an intermediary, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY (with proper attachments) or applicable successor form;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably 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 reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to Agent, any Lender, or any other recipient of any payment to be made by or on account of any Obligation or Loan Documents of Borrower hereunder would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed under FATCA if such recipient fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRC, as applicable), such recipient shall deliver to Borrower and Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRC) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as may be necessary for Borrower or Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such recipient has complied with such recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

70


Each Lender shall provide new forms (or successor forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms and upon the reasonable request of Agent or Borrower and shall promptly notify Agent and Borrower of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

(d) If a Lender claims an exemption from withholding tax in a jurisdiction other than the United States, such Lender agrees with and in favor of Agent and Borrower, to deliver to Agent and Borrower any such form or forms, as may be required under the laws of such jurisdiction as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, foreign withholding or backup withholding tax before receiving its first payment under this Agreement, but only if such Lender is legally able to deliver such forms, provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 16(d), the completion, execution and submission of such documentation referenced in this Section 16(d) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Each Lender shall provide new forms (or successor forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms and to promptly notify Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

(e)

(i) If a Lender claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax and such Lender sells, assigns, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of Borrower to such Lender, such Lender agrees to notify Agent of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of Borrower to such Lender. To the extent of such percentage amount, Agent will treat such Lender’s documentation provided pursuant to Section 16(c) or 16(d) as no longer valid. With respect to such percentage amount, such Assignee shall provide new documentation, pursuant to Section 16(c) or 16(d), if applicable.

(ii) In the event a Lender sells a participation in any Commitment or Obligation, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of this Section 16 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) with respect to its participation in any portion of the Commitments and the Obligations so long as such Participant complies with the obligations set forth in this Section 16 with respect thereto (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 16(c) shall be delivered to the participating Lender), provided, however, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under this Section 16 with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive

(f) If a Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, Borrower or Agent, as applicable may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by subsection (c) or (d) of this Section 16 are not delivered to Borrower or Agent, then Borrower or Agent, as applicable may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.

 

71


(g) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Borrower or Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender due to a failure on the part of the Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Borrower or Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify and hold Borrower or Agent, as applicable, harmless for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Borrower or Agent, as applicable, as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to Borrower or Agent, as applicable under this Section 16, together with all costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses). The obligation of the Lenders under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of Agent.

(h) If Agent or a Lender reasonably determines, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 16, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, it shall pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 16 with respect to Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such a refund), net of all reasonable out of pocket expenses of Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such a refund); provided, that Borrower, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges, imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority, other than such penalties, interest or other charges imposed as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Agent hereunder) to Agent or such Lender in the event Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 16 shall not be construed to require Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

(i) Each party’s obligations under this Section 16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 17. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

17.1 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when executed by Parent, Borrower, Agent, and each Lender whose signature is provided for on the signature pages hereof.

 

72


17.2 Section Headings. Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire Agreement.

17.3 Interpretation. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against the Lender Group or Parent or Borrower, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

17.4 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

17.5 Debtor-Creditor Relationship. The relationship between the Lenders and Agent, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor. No member of the Lender Group has (or shall be deemed to have) any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, and there is no agency or joint venture relationship between the members of the Lender Group, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, by virtue of any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein.

17.6 Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis.

17.7 Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations. If the incurrence or payment of the Obligations by Borrower or Guarantor or the transfer to the Lender Group of any property should for any reason subsequently be asserted, or declared, to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of property (each, a “Voidable Transfer”), and if the Lender Group is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that the Lender Group is required or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorney’s fees of the Lender Group related thereto, the liability of Borrower or Guarantor automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.

 

73


17.8 Confidentiality.

(a) Agent and Lenders each individually (and not jointly or jointly and severally) agree that material, non-public information regarding Parent and its Subsidiaries, their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans shall be treated by Agent and the Lenders in a confidential manner, and shall not be disclosed by Agent and the Lenders to Persons who are not parties to this Agreement, except: (i) to attorneys for and other advisors, accountants, auditors, consultants, actual or potential partners, or investors, lenders, officers, directors, employees, and agents of any member of the Lender Group (“Representatives”), provided that any such Representative shall have been informed of the confidential nature of such information and directed to treat it confidentially, (ii) to Subsidiaries and Affiliates of any member of the Lender Group or any of their Representatives, provided that any such Subsidiary, Affiliate or Representative shall have been informed of the confidential nature of such information and directed to treat it confidentially, (iii) as may be required by statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation (including, without limitation, in connection with filings, submissions and any other similar documentation required to comply with SEC filing requirements), (iv) as may be agreed to in advance by Borrower or as requested or required by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process, (v) as to any such information that is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of prohibited disclosure by Agent, the Lenders or the Persons listed in clauses (i) and (ii) above in breach of this Agreement), (vi) in connection with any assignment, participation or pledge of any Lender’s interest under this Agreement, provided that any such assignee, participant, or pledgee shall have agreed in writing to receive such information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section 17.8, (vii) in connection with any litigation or other adversary proceeding involving parties hereto which such litigation or adversary proceeding involves claims related to the rights or duties of such parties under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (viii) to one or more nationally recognized rating agencies.

(b) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) Agent may provide information concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to loan syndication and pricing reporting services so long as the identities of the Equity Sponsor and the Loan Parties are not disclosed in such information without the consent of the Borrower and (ii) in no event shall any nonpublic information regarding Parent and its Subsidiaries be shared with a Competitor (it being understood and agreed that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit the sharing of information with any Person (x) that is permitted pursuant to Section 17.8(a)(i) or Section 17.8(a)(ii) or (y) that is no longer a “Competitor” pursuant to the operation of the definition thereof.

17.9 Lender Group Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay any and all Lender Group Expenses promptly after demand therefor by Agent or the Lender entitled to reimbursement of same and agrees that its obligations contained in this Section 17.9 shall survive payment or satisfaction in full of all other Obligations.

17.10 Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. In addition, if Agent is required by law or regulation or internal policies to do so, it shall have the right to periodically conduct (a) Patriot Act searches, OFAC/PEP searches, and customary individual background checks for the Loan Parties and (b) OFAC/PEP searches and customary individual background checks for the Loan Parties’ senior management and key principals, and Borrower agrees to cooperate in respect of the conduct of such searches and further agrees that the reasonable costs and charges for such searches shall constitute Lender Group Expenses hereunder and be for the account of Borrower.

 

74


17.11 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof.

17.12 Survival. All representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any loans, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.

17.13 Amendment and Restatement. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement is not intended to and shall not serve to effect a novation of the “Obligations” (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement). From and after the effectiveness of this Agreement, the rights and obligations of the parties under the Original Credit Agreement shall be subsumed and governed by this Agreement and the Obligations under the Original Credit Agreement shall continue as Obligations under this Agreement until otherwise paid in accordance with the terms hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Documents and all of the Collateral described therein do and shall continue to secure the payment of all Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, in each case, as amended by this Agreement. The Loan Documents and all agreements, instruments and documents executed or delivered in connection with any of the foregoing shall each be deemed to be amended to the extent necessary to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement. Each reference to the “Credit Agreement” in any Loan Document shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement (as further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time). Cross-references in the Loan Documents to particular section numbers or defined terms in the Original Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be cross-references to the corresponding sections or defined terms, as applicable, of this Agreement. Each Lender may elect to exchange its Loans under the Original Credit Agreement for Loans under this Agreement pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Agent.

17.14 Reaffirmation of Guaranty. Each Guarantor, subject to the terms and limits contained herein, in the Guaranty and in the Collateral Documents, reaffirms its guaranty of the Obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents to which it is a party (and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to impair or otherwise limit such guaranty). Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that it has reviewed the terms and provisions of this Agreement and consents to the amendment and restatement of the Original Credit Agreement effected pursuant to this Agreement. Each Guarantor hereby confirms that each Loan Document to which it is a party or is otherwise bound continues to be in full force and effect and all of its obligations thereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be impaired or limited by the execution or effectiveness of the amendment and restatement of the Original Credit Agreement.

Golub Capital LLC, as Administrative Agent

666 Fifth Avenue, 18th Floor

New York, New York 10103

Attn: Account Officer – Integration Appliance, Inc.

                                 , a                                  (“Tenant”), and the undersigned (“Landlord”) are parties to that certain lease dated                     , 20    , a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (as amended, restated or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, the “Lease”), demising the premises located at                                  ( the “Leased Premises”) to Tenant.

Tenant and certain of Tenant’s affiliates have entered into or intend to enter into certain financing arrangements with Golub Capital LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Golub”), and certain lenders for which Golub acts as administrative agent, evidenced by, inter alia, an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, restated or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) dated on or about August 13, 2018 by and among Tenant, the other Loan Parties party thereto, Golub, as administrative agent (“Administrative Agent”) for the lenders party thereto, and such lenders (the “Lenders”). As a condition precedent to the Lenders extending the loans and other financial accommodations to the Tenant and/or its affiliates, Administrative Agent and the Lenders require, among other things, that Tenant deliver this Landlord Consent to Collateral Access (this “Consent”).

To induce Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Tenant to enter into said financing arrangements, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Landlord hereby agrees that:

1. As of the date hereof, the Lease is valid and is in full force and effect and to Landlord’s knowledge has not been assigned, modified, supplemented or amended in any way and represents the entire agreement between the parties thereto.

2. Neither Landlord nor, to the knowledge of Landlord, Tenant, is in default under the terms of the Lease and no event has occurred which with the giving of notice or the passage of time would constitute a default under the Lease.

3. Tenant is in possession of the Leased Premises and Tenant is the current holder of the leasehold estate created under the Lease.

4. No assets of Tenant (including, without limitation, equipment and trade fixtures but excluding building fixtures such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, carpeting and installed lighting) located on or about the Leased Premises will be deemed by Landlord to constitute a part of the Leased Premises.


5. Landlord will not assert, and therefore waives, any liens, whether granted by the Lease, statute or otherwise (including, without limitation, rights of levy or distraint for rent), against the property of Tenant located on the Leased Premises, including, without limitation, Tenant’s machinery, equipment, furniture, trade fixtures, inventory and all additions, replacements or substitutions therefor (collectively, “Tenant’s Property”).

6. Administrative Agent may, at no expense to Landlord and in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and other loan documents, enter onto the Leased Premises at any time or times during the term of the Lease and also during the Disposition Period (as defined below), and take possession of, sever, or remove Tenant’s Property or any part thereof and said Tenant’s Property upon severance and/or removal may be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of free and discharged of all liens, claims, demands, rights or interests of Landlord. In such event, Administrative Agent agrees to pay for repairs for any damage to the Leased Premises caused by Administrative Agent or its agents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have assumed any other obligations or liabilities of Tenant under the Lease by so electing to occupy the Leased Premises and (ii) Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or obligation to remove or dispose of all or any part of Tenant’s Property left on the Leased Premises by Tenant.

7. Upon a termination of the Lease, Landlord will permit the Administrative Agent to occupy and remain on the Leased Premises; provided, that (a) such period of occupation (the “Disposition Period”) shall not exceed up to sixty (60) days following receipt by the Administrative Agent from Landlord of a notice of termination of the Lease, whether as a result of a default by Tenant thereunder or otherwise, or, if the Lease has expired by its own terms (absent a default thereunder), up to sixty (60) days following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of written notice of such expiration, (b) for the actual period of occupancy by the Administrative Agent, to the extent not otherwise paid by Tenant and without duplication thereof, the Administrative Agent will pay to Landlord all base rent due under the Lease pro rated on a per diem basis determined on a 30-day month, shall maintain the Leased Premises in good repair, and shall provide and retain liability and property insurance coverage, electricity and heat to the extent required by the Lease, and (c) such amounts paid by the Administrative Agent to Landlord shall exclude any rent adjustments, indemnity payments or similar amounts for which the Tenant remains liable under the Lease for default, holdover status or other similar charges. During any Disposition Period, the Administrative Agent shall make the Leased Premises available for inspection by Landlord and prospective tenants and shall cooperate in Landlord’s reasonable efforts to re-lease the Leased Premises.

8. Landlord: (a) will give copies of all notices of default sent to Tenant under the Lease to Administrative Agent at:

Golub Capital LLC

New York, New York 10103

Attn: Account Officer – Integration Appliance, Inc.

Fax: (212) 750-3756


or to such other address as Administrative Agent may designate from time to time by notice given to Landlord at the address set forth after its signature hereto and (b) prior to exercising any of Landlord’s rights and remedies under the Lease or at law or in equity to terminate the Lease or otherwise dispossess Tenant from the Leased Premises, Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cure or cause to be cured such default within the following time periods from and after receipt by Administrative Agent of notice of such default from Landlord: ten (10) days with respect to monetary defaults and thirty (30) days with respect to non-monetary defaults after the period of time granted to Tenant to cure such defaults under the terms of the Lease.

9. Any acquisition or transfer of any interest in the stock of Tenant due to the exercise of remedies by Administrative Agent shall not create a default under, or require Landlord’s consent under, any applicable provisions of the Lease, if any, and shall be fully effective notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Lease.

10. Landlord agrees to disclose this Consent to any purchaser or successor to Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises.

11. The statements and agreements contained herein shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, Administrative Agent, Lenders, Tenant, Landlord, mortgagees of the Leased Premises and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing.

12. This Consent shall terminate automatically upon the payment and satisfaction in full of Tenant’s obligations and liabilities under the Credit Agreement and termination of all commitments to lend thereunder.

13. This Consent may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Consent by telecopy of other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Consent.
