     (c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Purchaser to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Issuer to repay the Notes in accordance with their terms.
     (d) On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall execute and deliver to each Purchaser a Note payable to such Purchaser and its registered assigns in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

     SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Notes. To the extent not previously paid, all Notes shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date together with accrued and unpaid cash interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of payment. The Issuer shall pay all such amounts to the Purchasers on the Maturity Date or, if the Maturity Date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing or in the definition of “Maturity Date”, any repayment of the Notes on the date of consummation of the Acquisition shall be deemed an optional prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 2.08(a)

 


 

hereof (but not subject to Section 2.08(b)) unless the Notes are repaid with the proceeds of a debt financing provided by the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates.
     SECTION 2.08. Prepayment. (a) The Issuer shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay amounts owed under the Notes, in whole or in part, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, plus the prepayment premium (expressed as percentages of principal amount being prepaid) set forth below (the “Applicable Prepayment Premium”) determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid cash interest, to but excluding the applicable prepayment date (provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000):

     The Issuer will give at least 5 Business Days’ prior written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 2.08(a) to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers. Each such notice shall specify the prepayment date, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note owned by such Purchaser to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 2.11), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Financial Officer as to the estimated Applicable Prepayment Premium due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Issuer to prepay the Notes by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Issuer shall deliver to each Purchaser and the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Applicable Prepayment Premium as of the specified prepayment date.
     (b) Upon the issuance or incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.01), or the issuance by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries of its or their Equity Interests, the Issuer shall promptly use 100% of all such proceeds received by the Issuer to either (i) prepay the existing Indebtedness of the Issuer or (ii) prepay the principal amount of the Notes plus the Applicable Prepayment Premium and accrued and unpaid cash interest thereon. The provisions of this clause (b) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance or incurrence otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 


 

     (c) All prepayments under this Section 2.08 shall be subject to Section 2.10.
     SECTION 2.09. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or Notes purchased by any Purchaser or shall impose on such Purchaser any other condition affecting this Agreement or Notes made by such Purchaser, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Purchaser of making or maintaining any Notes or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Purchaser hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Purchaser to be material, then the Issuer will pay to such Purchaser, upon demand, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Purchaser for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
     (b) If any Purchaser shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Purchaser’s capital or on the capital of such Purchaser’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Notes purchased by such Purchaser pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Purchaser’s policies and the policies of such Purchaser’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Purchaser to be material, then from time to time the Issuer shall pay to such Purchaser such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
     (c) A certificate of a Purchaser setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Purchaser or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to the Issuer and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Issuer shall pay such Purchaser the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same.
     (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Purchaser to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Purchaser’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Issuer shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Purchaser under paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 120 days prior to such request if such Purchaser knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions; provided further that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 120-day period. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Purchaser and regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.
     SECTION 2.10. Indemnity. The Issuer shall indemnify each Purchaser against any loss or expense that such Purchaser may sustain or incur as a consequence of any default in the

 


 

making of any payment or prepayment required to be made hereunder. A certificate of any Purchaser setting forth any amount or amounts which such Purchaser is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be delivered to the Issuer and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
     SECTION 2.11. Pro Rata Treatment. Each payment or prepayment of principal of the Notes and each payment of cash interest or Applicable Prepayment Premium on the Notes shall be allocated pro rata among the Purchasers in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their Notes.
     SECTION 2.12. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Purchaser agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Issuer or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Purchaser under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Note as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Notes shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Notes of any other Purchaser, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Purchaser at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Purchaser the purchase price for, a participation in the Notes of such other Purchaser, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes and participations in Notes held by each Purchaser shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Notes then outstanding as the principal amount of its Notes prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Notes outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.12 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. The Issuer expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Purchaser holding a participation in a Note deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Issuer to such Purchaser by reason thereof as fully as if such Purchaser had purchased a Note directly from the Issuer in the amount of such participation.
     SECTION 2.13. Payments. (a) The Issuer shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Note or any fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Transaction Document not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each such payment that is payable to a Purchaser shall be paid directly to such Purchaser at the office identified on Schedule 2.01 for such Purchaser or as otherwise directed by such Purchaser in writing from time to time, and each such payment that is payable to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be paid directly to the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, at their respective offices identified on Schedule 2.01 or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, in writing from time to time.

 


 

     (b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal of or cash interest or the Applicable Prepayment Premium on any Note or any fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, if applicable.
     SECTION 2.14. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Issuer or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if the Issuer or any other Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Purchaser (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Issuer or such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) the Issuer or such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
     (b) In addition, the Issuer shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
     (c) The Issuer shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Issuer or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Transaction Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Issuer by a Purchaser, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
     (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Issuer or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Issuer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Purchaser, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Purchaser, as the case may be.
     (e) Any Foreign Purchaser that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Issuer is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable

 


 

law or reasonably requested by the Issuer as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.
     (f) If the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Issuer or with respect to which the Issuer has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it shall pay over such refund to the Issuer (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Issuer under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Issuer, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Issuer (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser in the event the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Issuer or any other person.
     SECTION 2.15. Assignment of Notes Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate. If (a) any Purchaser shall request compensation under Section 2.09 or (b) the Issuer is required to pay any additional amount to any Purchaser or any Governmental Authority on account of any Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Purchaser to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (i) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Issuer or (ii) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.09 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14, as the case may be, in the future. The Issuer hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Purchaser in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.
     SECTION 2.16. Issuance of Warrant. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Issuer agrees to issue to the Purchasers on the Closing Date, Warrants to purchase in the aggregate 12,500,000 shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Issuer’s Common Stock, no par value per share (“Common Stock”), at an exercise price initially equal to $0.28 per Warrant Share, which shall be appropriately adjusted subsequently for any recapitalizations, stock combinations, stock dividends, stock splits and the like which occur after the Closing Date as set forth in the Form of Warrants.
     So long as the Purchasers hold an aggregate of 1,250,000 Warrant Shares or Warrants exercisable for 1,250,000 Warrant Shares (which shall be appropriately adjusted subsequently for any recapitalizations, stock combinations, stock dividends, stock splits and the like which occur after the Closing Date), upon the request of the Purchasers who hold the Warrants and Warrant Shares from time to time, such Purchasers shall be entitled to appoint and the Issuer

 


 

shall take all necessary corporate action to appoint to its board of directors one designee selected by such Purchasers.
     So long as the Purchasers hold an aggregate of 2,500,000 Warrant Shares or Warrants exercisable for 2,500,000 Warrant Shares (which shall be appropriately adjusted subsequently for any recapitalizations, stock combinations, stock dividends, stock splits and the like which occur after the Closing Date), upon the request of the Purchasers who hold the Warrants and Warrant Shares from time to time, such Purchasers shall be entitled to appoint and the Issuer shall take all necessary corporate action to appoint to its board of directors three designees selected by such Purchasers.

     (o) the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries shall be convicted under any criminal law that could lead to a forfeiture of any material property of such person;

If the amounts owed under the Notes are accelerated for any reason, including, without limitation, because of default, sale, transfer or encumbrance (including that by operation of law or otherwise) or if the Notes are repaid for any reason (including, without limitation, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or otherwise as party of any insolvency, bankruptcy or similar proceeding) following the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise and whether or not the Notes are accelerated, the Applicable Prepayment Premium will also be due and payable as though said indebtedness was voluntarily prepaid as of such date of acceleration 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 the Purchasers’ lost profits as a result thereof. The Applicable Prepayment Premium shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by the Purchasers as the result of the early termination and the Issuer agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. THE ISSUER EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW WHICH PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREPAYMENT FEE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION.

conduct between the Purchasers and the Issuer giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Applicable Prepayment Premium; and (iv) the Issuer shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. The Issuer expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Applicable Prepayment Premium to the Purchasers as herein described is a material inducement to the Purchasers to purchase the Notes.
ARTICLE IX
The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent
     Each of the Purchasers hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (for purposes of this Article IX, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as the “Agents”) its agent and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Transaction Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents.
     The person serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Purchaser as any other Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such person and its affiliates may provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to any of the Loan Parties (or any person engaged in similar business as that engaged in by any of the Loan Parties) as if such person was not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any of the Loan Parties for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Purchasers.
     Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Required Purchasers (or such other number or percentage of the Purchasers as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.08), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents, neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Issuer or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the person serving as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Purchasers (or such other number or percentage of the Purchasers as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.08) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Issuer or a Purchaser, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty

 


 

or representation made in or in connection with any Transaction Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Transaction Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Transaction Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Transaction Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.
     Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper person. Each Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Issuer), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
     Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities as well as activities as Agent.
     Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, either Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Purchasers and the Issuer. Upon any such resignation, the Required Purchasers shall have the right, in consultation with the Issuer, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Purchasers and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Purchasers, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Issuer to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while acting as Agent.
     Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Purchaser also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or

 


 

based upon this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

The Issuer, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Purchaser hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and any Purchaser, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
     (e) Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Purchaser and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Purchaser hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if required, the Issuer to such assignment and any applicable tax forms, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) notify the Issuer of such acceptance.

     (g) Any Purchaser or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Issuer furnished to such Purchaser by or on behalf of the Issuer; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by the Issuer as confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Purchasers pursuant to Section 10.16.
     (h) Any Purchaser may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Purchaser or in support of obligations owed by such Purchaser; provided that no such assignment shall release a Purchaser from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Purchaser as a party hereto.
     (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Purchaser (a “Granting Purchaser”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Purchaser to the Administrative Agent and the Issuer, the option to provide to the Issuer all or any part of any Note that such Granting Purchaser would otherwise be obligated to make to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to purchase any Note and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to purchase all or any part of such Note, the Granting Purchaser shall be obligated to purchase such Note pursuant to the terms hereof. The purchasing of a Note by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Purchaser to the same extent, and as if, such Note were purchased by such Granting Purchaser. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the

 


 

Granting Purchaser). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.04, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Issuer and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in the Notes to the Granting Purchaser or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Issuer and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Notes and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Notes to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.
     (j) The Issuer shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.
     SECTION 10.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Issuer agrees to pay all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities and the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Purchaser in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or in connection with the Notes made hereunder, including the fees, charges and disbursements of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Purchaser.
     (b) The Issuer agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Purchaser and each Related Party of any of the foregoing persons (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby (including the syndication of the Credit Facilities), (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Notes, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Issuer, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates), or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Issuer or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Issuer or the

 


 

Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
     (c) To the extent that the Issuer fails to pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Purchaser severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, such Purchaser’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Purchaser’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the outstanding Notes and unused Commitments at the time.
     (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Issuer shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Note or the use of the proceeds thereof.
     (e) The provisions of this Section 10.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Notes, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Purchaser. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.
     SECTION 10.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Purchaser is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Purchaser to or for the credit or the account of the Issuer against any of and all the obligations of the Issuer now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Transaction Documents held by such Purchaser, irrespective of whether or not such Purchaser shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Transaction Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Purchaser under this Section 10.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Purchaser may have.
     SECTION 10.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 


 

     SECTION 10.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Purchaser in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or consent to any departure by the Issuer or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Issuer in any case shall entitle the Issuer to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
     (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Issuer and the Required Purchasers (or the Administrative Agent acting at the written direction of the Required Purchasers); provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Note, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Note, without the prior written consent of each Purchaser directly adversely affected thereby (other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to the Notes as a result of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default), (ii) increase or extend the Commitment or decrease or extend the date for payment of any fees of any Purchaser without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, (iii) amend or modify the pro rata requirements of Section 2.11, the provisions of Section 10.04(j) or the provisions of this Section or release any Subsidiary Guarantor (other than in connection with the sale of such Subsidiary Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05) or all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of each Purchaser, (iv) modify the protections afforded to an SPC pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.04(i) without the written consent of such SPC or (vi) reduce the percentage contained in the definition of the term “Required Purchasers” without the prior written consent of each Purchaser (it being understood that with the consent of the Required Purchasers, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Purchasers on substantially the same basis as the Commitments on the date hereof); provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Transaction Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.
     SECTION 10.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Note, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Note under applicable law (collectively the "Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Purchaser holding such Note in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Note hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and,

 


 

to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Note but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Purchaser in respect of other periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Purchaser.
     SECTION 10.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.
     SECTION 10.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.11
     SECTION 10.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
     SECTION 10.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 10.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

 


 

     SECTION 10.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
     SECTION 10.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) The Issuer hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Purchaser may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents against the Issuer, or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
     (b) The Issuer hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
     (c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
     SECTION 10.16. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.16, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Issuer or any Subsidiary or any of their respective obligations, (f) with the consent of the Issuer or (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.16.

 


 

     For the purposes of this Section, “Information” shall mean all information received from the Issuer or any Subsidiary and related to the Issuer or any Subsidiary or their business, other than any such information that was available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Purchaser on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Issuer or any Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of Information received from the Issuer or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.16 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such person would accord its own confidential information.
     SECTION 10.17. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Purchaser and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Purchaser) hereby notifies the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors, which information includes the name and address of the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors and other information that will allow such Purchaser or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.
