In the event that a Revolving Letter of Credit is outstanding at a time when there is availability to support the issuance of a new Credit-Linked Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in a stated amount at least equal to the stated amount of such Revolving Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall have the right, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lender, to re-designate such Revolving Letter of Credit as a Credit-Linked Letter of Credit, in each case so long as (i) each such Credit-Linked Letter of Credit may otherwise be issued in accordance with, and will not violate, the limitations and requirements of Section 2.05(b) and (ii) the Borrower certifies in writing to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lender that the conditions specified in Section 4.02(b) and (c) are then satisfied. Upon satisfaction of the aforesaid conditions, (i) the respective LC Issuer shall re-designate the affected Revolving Letter of Credit as a Credit-Linked Letter of Credit, and (ii) a new Credit-Linked Letter of Credit shall be deemed issued at such time under this Agreement. Each request by the Borrower for the re-designation of a Letter of Credit

 

Schedule II

 

- 10 -


under this Section 2.05(c) shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the re-designation of such Letter of Credit complies with the conditions set forth herein.

 

(d) Method of Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower shall give the applicable Issuing Lender notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) substantially in the form of Exhibit A-3 hereto (a “Letter of Credit Request”) of the requested issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit prior to 1:00 P.M. on the proposed date of the issuance or amendment of Trade Letters of Credit (which shall be a Business Day) and at least three Business Days before the proposed date of issuance or extension of Standby Letters of Credit (which shall be a Business Day) (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender in any particular instance). In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender: (i) whether the requested Letter of Credit is to be a Revolving Letter of Credit or a Credit-Linked Letter of Credit; (ii) the name of the Borrower requesting the issuance of such Letter of Credit; (iii) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (iv) the currency in which such Letter of Credit is to be denominated (which shall be Dollars or an Available Foreign Currency); (v) the amount thereof (in the applicable currency); (vi) the expiry date thereof; (vii) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (viii) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (ix) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (x) such other matters as the Issuing Lender may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender: (i) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (ii) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (iv) such other matters as the Issuing Lender may require. If requested by the applicable Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall also submit a letter of credit application or such Issuing Lender’s standard form in connection with any request for a letter of credit. The extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an issuance of such Letter of Credit. Subject to the provisions of the following paragraph with respect to Evergreen Letters of Credit, no Letter of Credit shall have a term of more than one year or shall have a term extending or be extendible beyond the fifth Business Day before the Revolving Termination Date, in the case of Revolving Letters of Credit and the fifth Business Day before the Credit-Linked LC Termination Date, in the case of Credit-Linked Letters of Credit.

 

If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request, the Issuing Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Evergreen Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Evergreen Letter of Credit must permit the Issuing Lender to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Lender for any such renewal. Once an Evergreen Letter of Credit has been issued, the Domestic Revolving Lenders (in the case of a Revolving Letter of Credit) or the Credit-Linked LC Lenders (in the case of a Credit-Linked Letter of Credit) shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Lender to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to a date not later than the Revolving Termination

 

Schedule II

 

- 11 -


Date and/or the Credit-Linked LC Termination Date, as applicable; provided, however, that the Issuing Lender shall not permit any such renewal if (i) the Issuing Lender would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof or (ii) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the Nonrenewal Notice Date (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Domestic Revolving Lenders or the Required Credit-Linked LC Lenders, as applicable, have elected not to permit such renewal or (B) from the Administrative Agent, any Domestic Revolving Lender (in the case of a Revolving Letter of Credit), any Credit-Linked LC Lender (in the case of a Credit-Linked Letter of Credit), or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to permit the renewal of any Evergreen Letter of Credit at any time.

 

Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Request, the Issuing Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Request from the Borrower and, if not, the Issuing Lender will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the Issuing Lender of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the Issuing Lender shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Issuing Lender’s usual and customary business practices.

 

Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

 

(e) Conditions to Issuance of Letters of Credit. The issuance by an Issuing Lender of each Letter of Credit shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02, be subject to the conditions precedent that (i) such Letter of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the applicable Issuing Lender, (ii) the Borrower shall have executed and delivered such other instruments and agreements relating to such Letter of Credit as the Issuing Lender shall have reasonably requested, (iii) the Issuing Lender shall have confirmed with the Administrative Agent on the date of (and after giving effect to) such issuance that (A) in the case of the issuance of a Revolving Letter of Credit, (x) the aggregate amount of all Revolving LC Obligations will not exceed the Revolving LC Committed Amount, (y) the aggregate Domestic Revolving Outstandings will not exceed the Domestic Revolving Committed Amount, and (z) the Aggregate Revolving Outstandings will not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount, (B) in the case of the issuance of a Credit-Linked Letter of Credit, the aggregate amount of all Credit-Linked LC Obligations will not exceed the Credit-Linked LC Committed Amount, and (C) in the case of the issuance of (x) a Revolving Foreign Currency Letter of Credit, the Revolving Foreign Currency LC Exposure will not exceed the Revolving Foreign Currency LC Committed Amount and (y) a Credit-Linked Foreign Currency Letter of Credit, the Credit-Linked Foreign Currency LC Exposure will not exceed the Credit-Linked Foreign Currency LC Committed Amount; (iv) the Issuing Lender shall not have been notified by the Administrative Agent that any condition specified in Section 4.02(b) or (c) is not satisfied on the date such Letter of Credit is to be

 

Schedule II

 

- 12 -


issued and (v) in the case of the issuance of a Credit-Linked Foreign Currency Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall have Cash Collateralized 5% of the initial face amount of such Credit-Linked Foreign Currency Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.05, no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any requirement of Law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having a force of Law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it; or (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit shall violate any applicable general policies of such Issuing Lender.

 

(f) Purchase and Sale of Letter of Credit Participations. Upon the issuance by an Issuing Lender of a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, (i) in the case of the issuance of a Revolving Letter of Credit, to have sold to each Domestic Revolving Lender, and each Domestic Revolving Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided participation interest in such Revolving Letter of Credit and the related Revolving LC Obligations in the proportion its Domestic Revolving Commitment Percentage bears to the Domestic Revolving Committed Amount and (ii) in the case of the issuance of a Credit-Linked Letter of Credit, to have sold to each Credit-Linked LC Lender, and each Credit-Linked LC Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided participation interest in such Credit-Linked Letter of Credit and the related Credit-Linked LC Obligations in the proportion its Credit-Linked LC Commitment Percentage bears to the Credit-Linked LC Committed Amount (although any fronting fees payable under Section 2.11 shall be payable directly to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender, and the Lenders (other than such Issuing Lender) shall have no right to receive any portion of any such fronting fee) and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Domestic Revolving Commitments or Credit-Linked LC Commitments pursuant to Section 10.06, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the Participation Interests in all applicable outstanding Letters of Credit and all LC Obligations to reflect the adjusted Domestic Revolving Commitments and/or Credit-Linked LC Commitments of the assigning and assignee Lenders or of all Lenders having Domestic Revolving Commitments and/or Credit-Linked LC Commitments, as the case may be.

 

(g) Drawings Under Letters of Credit. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender shall determine in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit whether such drawing should be honored. If the Issuing Lender determines that any such drawing shall be honored, such Issuing Lender shall make available to such beneficiary in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit the amount of the drawing and shall

 

Schedule II

 

- 13 -


notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent as to the amount to be paid as a result of such drawing and the payment date.

 

(h) Duties of Issuing Lenders to Domestic Revolving Lenders and Credit-Linked LC Lenders; Reliance. In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall not have any obligation relative to the Domestic Revolving Lenders or the Credit-Linked LC Lenders, as the case may be, participating in such Letter of Credit or the related LC Obligations other than to determine that any document or documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit shall not create for the Issuing Lender any resulting liability if taken or omitted in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Issuing Lender shall be entitled (but not obligated) to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, on the representation and warranty by the Borrower set forth in the last sentence of Section 4.02 to establish whether the conditions specified in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 4.02 are met in connection with any issuance or extension of a Letter of Credit. Each Issuing Lender shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by such Issuing Lender and upon any Letter of Credit, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopier, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary unless the beneficiary and the Borrower shall have notified such Issuing Lender that such documents do not comply with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. Each Issuing Lender shall be fully justified in refusing to take any action requested of it under this Section 2.05 in respect of any Letter of Credit unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Domestic Revolving Lenders, in the case of Revolving Letters of Credit, or the Credit-Linked LC Lenders, in the case of Credit-Linked Letters of Credit, as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Domestic Revolving Lenders, in the case of Revolving Letters of Credit, or the Credit-Linked LC Lenders, in the case of Credit-Linked Letters of Credit, against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take, or omitting or continuing to omit, any such action. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.05, each Issuing Lender shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Section in respect of any Letter of Credit in accordance with a request of the Required Domestic Revolving Lenders or the Credit-Linked LC Lenders, as the case may be, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant hereto shall be binding upon all Domestic Revolving Lenders or all Credit-Linked LC Lenders, respectively, and all future holders of participations in such Letter of Credit.

 

(i) Reimbursement Obligations. The Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated forthwith to reimburse each Issuing Lender in Dollars or, subject to this Section 2.05(i), the relevant Available Foreign Currency, as applicable, for any amounts paid by such Issuing Lender upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, together with any and all reasonable charges and expenses which the Issuing Lender may pay or incur relative to such drawing and interest on the amount drawn, in the case of a

Revolving Letter of Credit, at the rate applicable to Revolving Base Rate Loans, and in the case of a Credit-Linked Letter of Credit, at the Credit-Linked LC Margin for each day from and including the date such amount is drawn to but excluding the date such reimbursement payment is due and payable; provided that, in the case of an LC Disbursement made under a Foreign Currency Letter of Credit, the amount of interest due with respect thereto shall (i) in the case of any LC Disbursement that is reimbursed on or before the third Business Day immediately succeeding such LC Disbursement, (A) be payable in the applicable Available Foreign Currency and (B) if not reimbursed on the date of such LC Disbursement, bear interest at a rate equal to the rate reasonably determined by the applicable Issuing Lender to be the cost to such Issuing Lender of funding such LC Disbursement plus (x) in the case of a Revolving Foreign Currency Letter of Credit, the Applicable Margin applicable to Revolving Eurocurrency Loans at such time and (y), in the case of a Credit-Linked Foreign Currency Letter of Credit, the Credit-Linked LC Margin at such time, and (ii) in the case of any LC Disbursement that is reimbursed after the third Business Day immediately succeeding such LC Disbursement (A) be payable in Dollars and (B) accrue interest on the Dollar Amount thereof, calculated using the Exchange Rate in effect on the date such LC Disbursement was made, at the rate per annum then applicable to (x) in the case of Revolving Letters of Credit, Revolving Base Rate Loans and (y) in the case of Credit-Linked Letters of Credit, Credit-Linked Loans. Such reimbursement payment shall be due and payable (i) at or before 2:00 P.M. (New York time or the relevant local time, as applicable) on the third Business Day after the date the Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of such drawing; provided that no payment otherwise required by this sentence to be made by the Borrower at or before 2:00 P.M. (New York time or the relevant local time, as applicable) on any day shall be overdue hereunder if arrangements for such payment satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender, in its reasonable discretion, shall have been made by the Borrower at or before 2:00 P.M. (New York time or the relevant local time, as applicable) on such day and such payment is actually made at or before 3:00 P.M. (New York time or the relevant local time, as applicable) on such day. If the Borrower’s reimbursement of, or obligation to reimburse, any amounts in any Available Foreign Currency would subject the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Lender or any Lender to any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or similar tax that would not be payable if such reimbursement were made or required to be made in Dollars, the Borrower shall, at its option, either (i) pay the amount of such tax requested by the Administrative Agent, the relevant Issuing Lender or the relevant Lender or (ii) reimburse each LC Disbursement made in such Available Foreign Currency in Dollars, in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount thereof, calculated using the applicable Exchange Rate in effect on the date such LC Disbursement is made. If the Borrower fails to make any reimbursement when due hereunder, then (i) if such payment relates to a Foreign Currency Letter of Credit, automatically and with no further action required, the Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender and each other Domestic Revolving Lender or Credit-Linked LC Lender, as the case may be, for the applicable LC Disbursement shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the Dollar Amount thereof, calculated using the Exchange Rate in effect on the date when such payment was due and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Lender and each other Domestic Revolving Lender or Credit-Linked LC Lender, as the case may be, of the applicable LC Disbursement, the Dollar Amount thereof (if such LC Disbursement relates to a Foreign Currency Letter of Credit) and the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Lender interest, payable on demand, on any and all amounts not paid by the Borrower to the Issuing Lender when due under this subsection (i), for each day from and

 

Schedule II

 

- 15 -


including the date when such amount becomes due to but excluding the date such amount is paid in full, whether before or after judgment, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2.00% plus the rate applicable to Revolving Base Rate Loans for such day, in the case of Revolving Letters of Credit, and the Credit-Linked LC Margin then in effect for such day for Credit-Linked LC Loans, in the case of Credit-Linked Letters of Credit. Subject to the satisfaction of all applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, the Borrower may, at its option, in the case of Revolving LC Disbursements, utilize the Revolving Commitments, and in the case of Credit-Linked LC Disbursements, utilize the Credit-Linked LC Commitments, or in either case, make other arrangements for payment satisfactory to the Issuing Lender for the reimbursement of all LC Disbursements as required by this subsection (i). Each reimbursement payment to be made by the Borrower pursuant to this subsection (i) shall be made to the Issuing Lender in Federal or other funds immediately available to it at its address referred to in Section 10.01.

 

(j) Obligations of Domestic Revolving Lenders to Reimburse Issuing Lender for Unpaid Revolving LC Disbursements. If the Borrower shall not have reimbursed an Issuing Lender in full for any Revolving LC Disbursement as required pursuant to subsection (i) of this Section 2.05, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Domestic Revolving Lender (other than the relevant Issuing Lender), and each such Domestic Revolving Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender, such Domestic Revolving Lender’s pro-rata share of (i) such unreimbursed Revolving LC Disbursement, in the case of Revolving LC Disbursements made by an Issuing Lender in Dollars, or (ii) the Dollar Amount of such Revolving LC Disbursement, calculated using the Exchange Rate in effect on the date such payment is required, in the case of Revolving LC Disbursements made by an Issuing Lender in an Available Foreign Currency (each such Lender’s pro rata share of such Revolving LC Disbursement to be determined by the proportion its Domestic Revolving Commitment Percentage bears to the aggregate Domestic Revolving Committed Amount) in Dollars in Federal or other immediately available funds. Such payment from the Domestic Revolving Lenders shall be due (i) at or before 1:00 P.M. on the date the Administrative Agent so notifies a Domestic Revolving Lender, if such notice is given at or before 10:00 A.M. on such date or (ii) at or before 10:00 A.M. on the next succeeding Business Day, together with interest on such amount for each day from and including the date of such drawing to but excluding the day such payment is due from such Domestic Revolving Lender at the Federal Funds Rate for such day (which funds the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Issuing Lender). The failure of any Domestic Revolving Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Lender its pro-rata share of any unreimbursed Revolving LC Disbursement shall not relieve any other Domestic Revolving Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender its pro-rata share of any payment made under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no such Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender such other Lender’s pro-rata share of any such payment. Upon payment in full of all amounts payable by a Lender under this subsection (j), such Lender shall be subrogated to the rights of the Issuing Lender against the Borrower to the extent of such Lender’s pro-rata share of the related LC Obligation so paid (including interest accrued thereon). If any Domestic Revolving Lender fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it pursuant to this subsection (l) on the date on which such payment is due, interest shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, for each day from and

 

Schedule II

 

- 16 -


including the date such payment became due to but excluding the date such Lender makes such payment, whether before or after judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) for each day from the date such payment is due to the third succeeding Business Day, inclusive, the Federal Funds Rate for such day as determined by the relevant Issuing Lender and (ii) for each day thereafter, the sum of 2.00% plus the rate applicable to its Revolving Base Rate Loans for such day. Any payment made by any Lender after 3:00 P.M. on any Business Day shall be deemed for purposes of the preceding sentence to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

(k) Withdrawal from the Credit-Linked LC Deposit Account and Credit-Linked LC Cash Collateral Account to Reimburse Issuing Lender for Unpaid Credit-Linked LC Disbursements. If the Borrower shall not have reimbursed an Issuing Lender in full for any Credit-Linked LC Disbursement as required pursuant to subsection (i) of this Section 2.05, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Credit-Linked LC Lender (other than the relevant Issuing Lender). Each Credit-Linked LC Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to reimburse such Issuing Lender such Credit-Linked LC Lender’s pro-rata share of (i) such unreimbursed Credit-Linked LC Disbursement, in the case of Credit-Linked LC Disbursements made by an Issuing Lender in Dollars, or (ii) the Dollar Amount of such Credit-Linked LC Disbursement, in the case of Credit-Linked LC Disbursements made by an Issuing Lender in an Available Foreign Currency (each such Lender’s pro rata share of such Credit-Linked LC Disbursement to be determined by the proportion its Credit-Linked LC Commitment Percentage bears to the aggregate Credit-Linked LC Committed Amount) in Dollars in Federal or other immediately available funds solely by withdrawing such Credit-Linked Lender’s pro rata share of such Credit-Linked LC Disbursement in an amount not to exceed its Credit-Linked LC Commitment Percentage of the Credit-Linked LC Deposits on deposit in the Credit-Linked LC Deposit Account. Any such withdrawal from the Credit-Linked LC Deposit Account for reimbursement of an Issuing Lender shall automatically be deemed to constitute a Credit-Linked LC Loan pursuant to Section 2.01(c) and (d). In the case of a Foreign Currency Credit-Linked Letter of Credit, if the Dollar Amount of any Credit-Linked LC Disbursement with respect thereto exceeds the corresponding amount theretofore on deposit in the Credit-Linked LC Deposit Account (such corresponding amount to be determined by reference to the Dollar Amount of the face amount of such Foreign Currency Credit-Linked Letter of Credit as of its date of issuance), the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to reimburse the relevant Issuing Lender the amount of such excess by withdrawal from the Credit-Linked LC Cash Collateral Account. Upon withdrawal and payment to the Issuing Lender of a Credit-Linked LC Lender’s pro-rata share of the Credit-Linked LC Disbursement from the Credit-Linked LC Deposits on deposit in the Credit-Linked LC Deposit Account in accordance with this subsection (k), such Credit-Linked LC Lender shall be subrogated to the rights of the Issuing Lender against the Borrower to the extent of such Credit-Linked LC Lender’s pro-rata share of the related LC Obligation so paid (including interest accrued thereon). In the event that any reimbursement shall be due to an Issuing Lender by the Credit-Linked LC Lenders under the preceding provisions of this Section 2.05(k) on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period in effect for the Credit-Linked LC Deposits, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to advance its own funds to cover the amount due to such Issuing Lender, in which case (A) title to an amount of each Credit-Linked LC Lender’s Credit-Linked LC Deposit equal to its Credit-Linked LC Commitment Percentage of the amount so advanced by the Administrative Agent (together with interest accruing thereon) shall

 

Schedule II

 

- 17 -


automatically be transferred to the Administrative Agent, which shall reimburse itself for the amount advanced by it through the liquidation of such amounts of the Credit-Linked LC Deposits at the end of the applicable Interest Period, and (B) the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor, the amount, if any, by which the Administrative Agent’s cost of funds for the period from the date of such reimbursement of the Issuing Lender through the end of the applicable Interest Period, as determined by the Administrative Agent (such determination to be conclusive absent manifest error) and set forth (together with reasonably detailed supporting documentation) in the request for payment delivered to the Borrower, shall exceed the interest accrued on a like amount of the Credit-Linked LC Deposits at the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for the Interest Period in effect at such time. In the event that the Borrower shall fail to pay any amount due under (B) of the preceding sentence, the interest payable by the Administrative Agent to the Credit-Linked LC Lenders on their Credit-Linked LC Deposits under Section 2.01(d)(i) shall be correspondingly reduced and the Credit-Linked LC Lenders shall without further act succeed, ratably in accordance with their Credit-Linked LC Commitment Percentages, to the rights of the Administrative Agent with respect to such amount. In addition, each Credit-Linked LC Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders a security interest in such Credit-Linked LC Lender’s respective Credit-Linked LC Deposit to secure its obligations under this Section 2.05(k).

 

(l) Funds Received from the Borrower in Respect of Drawn Letters of Credit. Whenever an Issuing Lender receives a payment of an LC Obligation from the Borrower as to which the Administrative Agent has (A) received for the account of such Issuing Lender any payments from the Domestic Revolving Lenders pursuant to subsection (j) above, or (B) made a withdrawal for the account of such Issuing Lender from the Credit-Linked LC Deposit Account and/or Credit-Linked LC Cash Collateral Account pursuant to subsection (k) above, such Issuing Lender shall pay the amount of such payment to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall, in the case of (A) above, promptly pay to each Domestic Revolving Lender which has paid its pro-rata share thereof, in Dollars in Federal or other immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Domestic Revolving Lender’s pro-rata share of the principal amount thereof and interest thereon for each day after the relevant date of payment at the Federal Funds Rate, and in the case of (B) above, promptly pay (x) to each Credit-Linked LC Lender for which a withdrawal from the Credit-Linked LC Deposit Account was made, an amount equal to such Credit-Linked LC Lender’s pro-rata share of the principal amount thereof and interest thereon for each day after the relevant date of payment at the Federal Funds Rate, such payment by the Administrative Agent to be made by way of depositing such proceeds into the Credit-Linked LC Deposit Account and (y) to the Borrower, an amount equal to the amount withdrawn from the Credit-Linked LC Cash Collateral Account and paid to such Issuing Lender.

 

(m) Obligations in Respect of Letters of Credit Unconditional. The obligations of the Borrower under Section 2.05(i) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following circumstances:

 

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or thereto;

- 18 -


(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or thereto, in each case consented to by the Borrower;

 

(iii) the use which may be made of the Letter of Credit by, or any acts or omission of, a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom the beneficiary may be acting);

 

(iv) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other rights that the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom the beneficiary may be acting), any Issuing Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement or any Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or thereto or any unrelated transaction;

 

(v) any statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever;

 

(vi) payment under a Letter of Credit against presentation to an Issuing Lender of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; provided that the relevant Issuing Lender’s determination that documents presented under such Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender; or

 

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any Issuing Lender or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this subsection (vii), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

 

(n) Designation of Subsidiaries as Account Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, a Letter of Credit issued hereunder may contain a statement to the effect that such Letter of Credit is issued for the account of a Subsidiary of the Borrower; provided that notwithstanding such statement, the Borrower shall be the actual account party for all purposes of this Agreement for such Letter of Credit and such statement shall not affect the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations hereunder with respect to such Letter of Credit.

 

(o) Modification and Extension. The issuance of any supplement, restatement, modification, amendment, renewal, or extensions to any Letter of Credit shall, for purposes hereof, be treated in all respects the same as a Credit Extension hereunder.

 

(p) Uniform Customs and Practices. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each Standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) at the time of issuance (including the ICC decision published by the Commission on Banking Technique and Practice on

(iv) Nothing in this subsection (s) is intended to limit the reimbursement obligation of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.05. The obligations of the Borrower under this subsection (s) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Exposure shall be calculated using the Exchange Rates in effect on the date the Borrower is required to cash collateralize the relevant Foreign Currency Letter of Credit pursuant to this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over each collateral account referred to in this subsection (t). The Collateral Agent will, at the request of the Borrower, invest amounts deposited in such accounts in Cash Equivalents; provided, however, that (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to make any investment that, in its sole judgment, would require or cause the Collateral Agent to be in, or would result in any, violation of any Law, (ii) such Cash Equivalents shall be subjected to a first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent and (iii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the selection of such Cash Equivalents shall be in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent. The Borrower shall indemnify the Collateral Agent for any losses relating to such investments in Cash Equivalents. Other than any interest or profits earned on such investments, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such accounts. Moneys in such accounts shall be applied by the Collateral Agent to reimburse the Issuing Lenders immediately for drawings under the applicable Letters of Credit and, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, to satisfy the LC Obligations of the Borrower. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of an Event of Default, such amount, together with any interest or profits earned thereon (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.09(b)(iv), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower upon demand; provided that (A) in the case of returns in connection with Revolving Foreign Currency Letters of Credit, (i) the aggregate Revolving Foreign Currency LC Exposure would not exceed the Revolving Foreign Currency LC Committed Amount and (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and (B) in the case of returns in connection with Credit-Linked Foreign Currency Letters of Credit, (i) the aggregate Credit-Linked Foreign Currency LC Exposure would not exceed the Credit-Linked Foreign Currency LC Committed Amount and (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

or profits thereon shall be returned to the Borrower on demand following termination of the relevant Foreign Currency Credit-Linked Letter of Credit in respect of which such amount was deposited and satisfaction of all Credit-Linked LC Obligations with respect thereto; provided that (i) the aggregate Credit-Linked Foreign Currency LC Exposure would not exceed the Credit-Linked Foreign Currency LC Committed Amount and (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(u) Conversion. If the Loans become immediately due and payable on any date pursuant to Article VIII, all amounts (i) that the Borrower is at the time or thereafter becomes required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of LC Disbursements made under any Foreign Currency Letter of Credit (other than amounts in respect of which the Borrower has deposited cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.05(t), if such cash collateral was deposited in the applicable Available Foreign Currency, to the extent so deposited or applied), (ii) that the Domestic Revolving Lenders or Credit-Linked LC Lenders, as the case may be, are at the time or thereafter become required to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent is at the time or thereafter becomes required to distribute to the applicable Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(j) and (k) above in respect of unreimbursed LC Disbursements made under any Foreign Currency Letter of Credit, and (iii) of each Domestic Revolving Lender’s or Credit-Linked LC Lenders, as the case may be, Participation Interest in any Foreign Currency Letter of Credit under which an LC Disbursement has been made shall, in each case automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Dollar Amount thereof, calculated using the Exchange Rates in effect on such date (or in the case of any LC Disbursements made after such date, on the date such LC Disbursement is made). On and after such conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Lender or any Lender in respect of the Senior Obligations described in this paragraph shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder.

 

(v) Resignation or Removal of an Issuing Lender. An Issuing Lender may resign at any time by giving 60 days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the Domestic Revolving Lenders, the Credit-Linked LC Lenders and the Borrower; provided, however, that such resignation shall not affect the status of any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such resigning Issuing Lender as set forth in subsection (w) below. Upon any such resignation, the Borrower shall (within 60 days after such notice of resignation) either appoint a successor, or terminate the unutilized LC Commitment of such Issuing Lender; provided, however, that, if the Borrower elects to terminate such unutilized LC Commitment, the Borrower may at any time thereafter that the Domestic Revolving Commitments or Credit-Linked LC Commitments, as the case may be, are in effect reinstate such LC Commitment in connection with the appointment of another Issuing Lender. Subject to subsection (w) below, upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Lender hereunder by a successor Issuing Lender, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of the retiring Issuing Lender and the retiring Issuing Lender shall be discharged from its obligations to issue Letters of Credit hereunder. The acceptance of any appointment as Issuing Lender hereunder by a successor Issuing Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such
