Revolving Credit Facility and Letters of Credit

 

Section 2.1. Revolving Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Bank severally agrees to make one or more advances to Borrower from time to time from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Termination Date; provided that such Bank’s Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the amount of such Bank’s Revolving Commitment as then in effect. Subject to the foregoing limitations, and the other terms and provisions of this Agreement, Borrower may borrow, prepay, and reborrow hereunder the amount of the Revolving Commitments and may establish Base Rate Accounts and Eurodollar Accounts thereunder and, until the Revolving Termination Date, Borrower may Continue Eurodollar Accounts established under the Loans or Convert Accounts established under the Loans of one Type into Accounts of the other Type. Accounts of each Type under the Loan made by each Bank shall be established and maintained at such Bank’s Applicable Lending Office for Loans of such Type.

 

Section 2.2. Evidence of Debt. Each Bank shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Bank resulting from each Loan made by such Bank, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Bank from time to time hereunder. The Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Bank hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder for the account of the Banks and each Bank’s share thereof. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Bank or the Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any Bank may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In

 

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 17


such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Bank a promissory note payable to the order of such Bank (or, if requested by such Bank, to such Bank and its registered assigns) and in a form of the Revolving Note attached hereto as Exhibit A. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

 

Section 2.3. Repayment of Loans. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Agent for the account of each Bank the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the Revolving Termination Date.

 

Section 2.4. Revolving Commitment Fee. Borrower agrees to pay to Agent for the account of each Bank a commitment fee on the daily average unused amount of such Bank’s Revolving Commitment for the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Termination Date, at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate. Accrued commitment fees under this Section 2.4 shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Revolving Termination Date. For the purpose of calculating the commitment fee hereunder, the Revolving Commitments shall be deemed utilized by all outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit.

 

Section 2.5. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used by Borrower for ongoing working capital needs and other general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, to finance the purchase price of Permitted Acquisitions and making loans to its Parent and Subsidiaries in accordance with Sections 9.4 and 9.5.

 

Section 2.6. Reduction, Termination, and Increase of Revolving Commitments.

 

(a) Voluntary Reductions or Terminations of Revolving Commitments. At any time and from time to time from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Termination Date, Borrower shall have the right to terminate or reduce in part the unused portion of the Revolving Commitments, provided that: (i) Borrower shall give notice of each such termination or reduction as provided in Section 4.3; and (ii) each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount at least equal to Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000). The Revolving Commitments may not be reinstated after they have been terminated or reduced. Any reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments shall be accompanied by any payment required under Section 4.4(b)(i).

 

(b) Increase of Revolving Commitments. From and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Termination Date, Borrower may increase the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments by an aggregate amount: (i) equal to any integral multiple of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and (ii) not to exceed the sum of Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000); provided, that (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the effective date of the increase; (ii) the Revolving Commitments shall not have been reduced under this Section 2.6 (but may have been reduced pursuant to Section 4.4(b)(ii)), nor shall Borrower have given notice of any such reduction under Section 2.6(a), (iii) the Revolving Commitments shall not previously have been increased pursuant to this Section 2.6(b) on more than four (4) occasions, and (iv) no Bank shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Commitment unless it is a party to an Increased Commitment Supplement. The increase in the Revolving Commitments under this Section 2.6(b) may be accomplished by one or more of the Banks increasing their respective Revolving Commitments or by one or more Persons being added as “Banks” hereunder (each a “New Bank”) or by a combination of the foregoing; provided, that the Revolving Commitment of each New Bank shall be at least Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and the maximum number of New Banks shall be four (4). Provided that no Default exists at such time or after giving effect to the increase, an increase in the Revolving Commitments made in accordance with this Section 2.6(b) shall become effective on the date

 

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 18


Agent receives a properly completed Increased Commitment Supplement executed by Borrower and the Banks willing to increase their respective Revolving Commitments and the New Banks (if any). Agent shall promptly execute any Increased Commitment Supplement so delivered in accordance with this Section 2.6(b) and deliver a copy thereof to the other Banks. If all existing Banks shall not have provided their pro rata portion of the requested increase, then after giving effect to the requested increase the outstanding Loans may not be held pro rata in accordance with the new Revolving Commitments. To remedy the foregoing, upon the effective date of the Increased Commitment Supplement, the Banks shall make advances among themselves (either directly or through the Agent) so that after giving effect thereto the Loans will be held by the Banks, pro rata in accordance with the Commitment Percentages. Any advances made under this Section 2.6(b) by a Bank shall be deemed to be a purchase of a corresponding amount of the Loans of the Bank or Banks who shall receive such advances. The Revolving Commitments of the Banks who do not agree to increase their Revolving Commitments can not be reduced or otherwise changed pursuant to this Section 2.6(b).

 

Section 2.7. Letters of Credit.

 

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account or for any of the Obligated Parties’ benefit, in the form of a Letter of Credit Notice, at any time and from time to time from the Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Termination Date. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by Borrower to, or entered into by Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

 

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) irrevocable written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (a “Letter of Credit Notice”), requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with clause (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) and (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments.

 

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire (i) on the date approved by the Issuing Bank which approval shall be evidenced by the issuance of such Letter of Credit or (ii) at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (A) the date one year after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (B) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date.

 

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof or with respect to Letters of Credit outstanding under the Second

 

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 19


Credit Agreement on the Closing Date, as of the Closing Date) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Banks, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Bank, and each Bank hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Bank hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by Borrower on the date due as provided in clause (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to Borrower for any reason. Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

 

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m. on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately following the day that Borrower receives such notice; provided that Borrower may prior to the Revolving Termination Date, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 5.3 that such payment be financed with a Loan subject to Base Rate Accounts in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Loan subject to Base Rate Accounts. If Borrower fails to make such payment when due, Agent shall notify each Bank of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from Borrower in respect thereof and such Bank’s Commitment Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Bank shall pay to Agent its Commitment Percentage of the payment then due from Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 4.1 with respect to Loans made by such Bank (and Section 4.1 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Banks), and Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Banks. Promptly following receipt by Agent of any payment from Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that the Banks have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Banks and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Bank pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Loans subject to a Base Rate Account as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

 

(f) Obligations Absolute. Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in clause (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or 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, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Article, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither Agent, the Banks nor the Issuing Bank, nor any Person related thereto, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or

 

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 20


transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

 

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify Agent and Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Banks with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

 

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Margin; provided that, if Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to clause (e) of this Section, then Section 3.4 shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Bank pursuant to clause (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Bank to the extent of such payment.

 

(i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among Borrower, Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. Agent shall notify the Banks of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to clause (k) of this Section. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

 

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 21


(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that Borrower receives notice from Agent or the Required Banks demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph or if Borrower is otherwise required to provide cash collateral for LC Exposures under Section 4.4 or otherwise, Borrower shall deposit in an account with Agent, in the name of Agent and for the benefit of the Banks, to be held by Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid letter of credit fees relating thereto; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to Borrower described in clause (e) or (f) of Section 11.1 or on the Revolving Termination Date if any Letter of Credit has an expiration date beyond the Revolving Termination Date. Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of Agent and at Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Banks with LC Exposure representing greater than fifty-one percent (51%) of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement. If Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

 

(k) Fees. Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Agent for the account of each Bank a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue on the average daily amount of such Bank’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements), during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Bank’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Bank ceases to have any LC Exposure, at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate Margin in effect from time to time pursuant to Section 3.2, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements), during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Issuing Bank’s commitments to issue Letters of Credit and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Issuing Bank, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Accrued participation fees and fronting fees shall be due and payable on the third Business Day following each Quarterly Payment Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the Revolving Termination Date and any such fees accruing after the Revolving Termination Date shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). None of the Banks are entitled to any portion of the fronting fee.

Subject to Section 4.2, Borrower shall have the right from time to time to Convert all or part of any Base Rate Account in existence under a Loan into a Eurodollar Account under the same Loan or to Continue Eurodollar Accounts in existence under a Loan as Eurodollar Accounts under the same Loan, provided that: (a) Borrower shall give Agent notice of each such Conversion or Continuation as provided in Section 4.3; (b) a Eurodollar Account may only be Converted on the last day of the Interest Period therefor; and (c) except for Conversions into Base Rate Accounts, no Conversions or Continuations shall be made while a Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

Section 3.6. Computations. Interest and fees payable by Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be computed as follows: (i) with respect to Eurodollar Accounts on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which payable unless such calculation would result in a usurious rate, in which case interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be; (ii) with respect to Base Rate Accounts (A) if based on the Prime Rate, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be and the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which payable or (B) if based on the Federal Funds Effective Rate on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which payable unless in the case of clauses (i) or (ii) (B) such calculation would result in a usurious rate, in which case interest shall be calculated on the basis

 

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 24


of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be; and (iii) with respect to all other calculations, on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which payable unless such calculation would result in a usurious rate, in which case interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.

Administrative Matters

 

Section 4.1. Borrowing Procedure. Borrower shall give Agent, and Agent will give the Banks, notice of each borrowing under the Revolving Commitments in accordance with Section 4.3. Not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified for each such borrowing each Bank will make available to Agent the amount of the Loan to be made by it on such date, at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds, for the account of Borrower. The amount so received by Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to Borrower by (a) depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in an account of Borrower (designated by Borrower) maintained with Agent at the Principal Office or (b) wire transferring such funds to a Person or Persons designated by Borrower in writing; provided that Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.7(e) shall be remitted by Agent to the Issuing Bank.

 

Section 4.2. Minimum Amounts. Except for prepayments pursuant to Article V and financings of reimbursements of LC Disbursements as contemplated by Section 2.7(e), each borrowing under a Loan and each prepayment of principal of a Loan shall be in an amount at least equal to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or any larger amounts in increments of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). Except for Conversions pursuant to Article V, each Eurodollar Account applicable to a Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or any larger amounts in increments of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).

 

Section 4.3. Certain Notices. Each termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments, borrowing and prepayment of Loans, and Conversion and Continuation of Accounts shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable written notice delivered to Agent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (a “Loan Change Notice”) and shall be effective only if received by Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (a) on the Business Day of the borrowing, prepayment or repayment of Loans subject to Base Rate Accounts or of the Conversion into Base Rate Accounts and (b) with respect to any other repayments, terminations, reductions, borrowings, Conversions, Continuations, or prepayments, on the Business Day which is the number of Business Days prior to the day of the relevant action specified below:

 

Action


   Number of Business
Days Prior to Action


Termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments    5
Borrowing of Loans subject to Eurodollar Accounts, Conversions into or Continuations as Eurodollar Accounts or prepayment of Loans subject to Eurodollar Accounts    3

 

Any Loan Change Notice which is received by Agent after 10:00 a.m. on a Business Day shall be deemed to be received and shall be effective on the next Business Day. Each such Loan Change Notice when providing notice of a termination or reduction shall specify the amount of the Revolving Commitments to be terminated or reduced. Each such Loan Change Notice when providing notice of a borrowing, Conversion, Continuation, or prepayment shall specify: (a) the Loans to be borrowed or prepaid or the Accounts to be Converted or Continued; (b) the amount (subject to Section 4.2 hereof) to be borrowed,

 

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 25


Converted, Continued, or prepaid; (c) in the case of a Conversion, the Type of Account to result from such Conversion; (d) in the case of a borrowing the Type of Account or Accounts to be applicable to such borrowing and the amounts thereof; (e) in the event a Eurodollar Account is selected, the duration of the Interest Period therefor; and (f) the date of borrowing, Conversion, Continuation, or prepayment (which shall be a Business Day). Agent shall notify the Banks of the contents of each Loan Change Notice on the date of its receipt of the same or, if received on or after 10:00 a.m. on a Business Day, on the next Business Day. In the event Borrower fails to select the Type of Account applicable to a Loan, or the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Account, within the time period and otherwise as provided in this Section 4.3, such Account (if outstanding as a Eurodollar Account) will be automatically Converted into a Base Rate Account on the last day of the preceding Interest Period for such Account or (if outstanding as a Base Rate Account) will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, a Base Rate Account. Borrower may not borrow any Loans subject to a Eurodollar Account, Convert any Base Rate Accounts into Eurodollar Accounts, or Continue any Eurodollar Account as a Eurodollar Account if the Applicable Rate for such Eurodollar Accounts would exceed the Maximum Rate or if a Default exists.

 

Section 4.4. Prepayments.

 

(a) Optional Prepayments. Subject to Section 4.2 and the provisions of this Section 4.4, Borrower may, at any time and from time to time without premium or penalty upon prior notice to Agent as specified in Section 4.3, prepay or repay any Loan in full or in part. Loans subject to a Eurodollar Account may be prepaid or repaid only on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless (i) Borrower pays to Agent for the account of the applicable Banks any amounts due under Section 5.5 as a result of such prepayment or repayment or (ii) after giving effect to such prepayment or repayment the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Accounts applicable to the Loan being prepaid or repaid having Interest Periods that end after such payment date shall be equal to or less than the principal amount of such Loan after such prepayment or repayment.

 

(b) Mandatory Prepayments.

 

(i) Reduction of Revolving Commitment. On each date that the Revolving Commitments are reduced pursuant to Section 2.6 or clause (b) of this Section 4.4 prior to the Revolving Termination Date, Borrower shall prepay the Loans in the amount, if any, by which the sum of the total Revolving Exposure exceeds the total Revolving Commitments (as reduced) together with any amounts due under Section 5.5 as a result of such prepayment or, if no Loans are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with Agent pursuant to Section 2.7(j) in an amount equal to such excess.

 

(ii) Asset Dispositions. If the Net Proceeds relating to any Asset Disposition exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (it being understood that if the Net Proceeds exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), the entire Net Proceeds and not just the portion in excess of the foregoing amount shall be subject to this paragraph) for any single transaction or series of related transactions or if such Net Proceeds when aggregated with all other Net Proceeds from any Asset Disposition received during the same Fiscal Year exceed Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000), (it being understood that if the Net Proceeds exceed Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000), the entire Net Proceeds not just the portion in excess of the foregoing amount shall be subject to this Subsection), then: (A) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced by such Net Proceeds, such reduction to be effective on the date five (5) days after the receipt by Parent or any Subsidiary of such Net Proceeds; and (B) Borrower shall within five (5) days of receipt of such Net Proceeds prepay the Loans in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds or, if no Loans are outstanding and if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, deposit cash collateral in an account with Agent pursuant to Section 2.7(j) in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds. A

 

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 26


prepayment received pursuant to this Section 4.4(b)(ii) shall be accompanied with any amounts due under Section 5.5 as a result of such prepayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments shall not be reduced and Parent or a Subsidiary may retain proceeds otherwise required to be delivered in accordance with the foregoing from an Asset Disposition if (1) no Default exists and (2) in the event the Person disposing of the asset in question reasonably expects to reinvest or has already reinvested, pursuant to a plan of which the Asset Disposition was a contemplated part, all of the Net Proceeds of such Asset Disposition in productive assets then used or useable in its business or, in the case of proceeds received due to loss, damage, destruction, or condemnation, to be used for rebuilding, repairing or replacing assets, in each case committed to such use within ninety (90) days after receipt of such proceeds and (B) an Asset Disposition not permitted by Section 9.8 is not permitted under this Section 4.4(b)(ii). For purposes of this Section 4.4(b) the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

Asset Disposition” means the disposition whether by sale, lease, sale/leaseback, transfer, loss, damage, destruction, condemnation or otherwise of any assets of the Parent or any Subsidiary other than any disposition permitted under Section 9.8.

 

Net Proceeds” means cash proceeds (including casualty insurance proceeds paid with respect to damage to property) received by Parent or any Subsidiaries from any Asset Disposition (including payments under notes or other debt securities received in connection with any Asset Disposition and insurance proceeds and awards of condemnation), net of (a) the reasonable and customary costs of such sale, lease, transfer, or other disposition (including reasonable and customary professional fees and expenses and taxes attributable to such sale, lease, or transfer which are actually expected to be paid) and (b) amounts applied to repayment of Debt (other than the Obligations) secured by a Lien on the asset disposed.

 

(iii) Revolving Exposures Exceed Revolving Commitments. In the event and on each occasion, other than as described in Section 4.4(b)(i), that the sum of the total Revolving Exposures exceeds the total Revolving Commitments, Borrower shall prepay the Loans (or, if no Loans are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with Agent pursuant to Section 2.7(j)) in an amount equal to such excess.

 

Section 4.5. Method of Payment. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments of principal, interest, and other amounts to be made by Borrower or any Obligated Party under the Loan Documents shall be made to Agent at the Principal Office for the account of each Bank’s Applicable Lending Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Borrower and each Obligated Party shall, at the time of making each such payment, specify to Agent the sums payable under the Loan Documents to which such payment is to be applied (and in the event that Borrower fails to so specify, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent may apply such payment and any proceeds of any Collateral to the Obligations in such order and manner as the Required Banks may elect in their sole discretion, subject to Section 4.6 hereof). Each payment received by Agent under any Loan Document for the account of a Bank shall be paid to such Bank by 3:00 p.m. on the date the payment is deemed made to Agent in immediately available funds, for the account of such Bank’s Applicable Lending Office. Whenever any payment under any Loan Document shall be stated to be due 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 the payment of interest and commitment fee, as the case may be.

 

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 27


Section 4.6. Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each Loan shall be made by the Banks, each payment of commitment fees under Section 2.4 shall be made for the account of the Banks, and each termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be applied to the Revolving Commitments of the Banks, pro rata according to their respective Commitment Percentages; (b) the making, Conversion, and Continuation of Accounts of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Section 5.4) shall be made pro rata among the Banks holding Accounts of such Type according to their respective Commitment Percentages; (c) each payment and prepayment of principal of or interest on Loans by Borrower shall be made to Agent for the account of Agent or the Banks holding such Loans pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans or participation interests held by Agent or such Banks; provided that as long as no default in the payment of interest exists, payments of interest made when the Banks are holding different Types of accounts applicable to the same Loan as a result of the application of Section 5.4 shall be made to the Banks in accordance with the amount of interest actually owed to each; and (d) proceeds of Collateral shall be shared by Agent and the Banks pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of and interest on the Obligations then due Agent and the Banks. If at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any amount distributed by Agent hereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Agent as a preference, fraudulent conveyance, or otherwise under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law, then each Person receiving any portion of such amount agrees, upon demand, to return the portion of such amount it has received to Agent.

 

Section 4.7. Sharing of Payments. If a Bank shall obtain payment of any principal of or interest on any of the Obligations arising under the Loan Documents due to such Bank hereunder directly (and not through Agent) through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim, or similar right, or otherwise, it shall promptly purchase from the other Banks participations in such Obligations held by the other Banks in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable to the end that all the Banks shall share the benefit of such payment pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal of and interest on such Obligations then due to each of them. To such end, all of the Banks shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter rescinded or must otherwise be restored. Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Bank so purchasing a participation in such Obligations held by the other Banks may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim, or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were a direct holder of such Obligations in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Bank to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Bank to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of Borrower.

 

Section 4.8. Non-Receipt of Funds by Agent. Unless Agent shall have been notified by a Bank or Borrower (the “Payor”) prior to the date on which such Bank is to make payment to Agent hereunder or Borrower is to make a payment to Agent for the account of one or more of the Banks, as the case may be (such payment being herein called the “Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to Agent, Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient on such date and, if the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to Agent, (a) the recipient of such payment shall, on demand, pay to Agent the amount made available to it together with interest thereon in respect of the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by Agent until the date Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such period and (b) Agent shall be entitled to offset against any and all sums to be paid to such recipient, the amount calculated in accordance with the foregoing clause (a).

 

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 28


Section 4.9. Withholding Taxes. All payments by Borrower of amounts payable under any Loan Document shall be payable without deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, or other charges levied or imposed by the United States of America or by the government of any jurisdiction outside the United States of America or by any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any of the foregoing through withholding or deduction with respect to any such payments (but excluding any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or profit of a Bank pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or in which the principal office or Applicable Lending Office of such Bank is located or any subdivision thereof or therein). If any such taxes, duties, or other charges are so levied or imposed, Borrower will make additional payments in such amounts so that every net payment of amounts payable by it under any Loan Document, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any such present or future taxes, duties, or other charges, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or therein, provided that Borrower may withhold to the extent required by law and shall have no obligation to pay such additional amounts to any Bank to the extent that such taxes, duties, or other charges are levied or imposed by reason of the failure or inability of such Bank to comply with the provisions of Section 4.10. Borrower shall furnish promptly to Agent for distribution to each affected Bank, as the case may be, official receipts evidencing any such withholding or reduction.

 

Section 4.10. Withholding Tax Exemption. Each Bank that is not organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof agrees that it will deliver to Borrower and Agent two duly completed copies of the appropriate United States Internal Revenue Service Form certifying that such Bank is entitled to receive payments from Borrower under any Loan Document without deduction or withholding of any United States of America federal income taxes. Each Bank which so delivers such a form further undertakes to deliver to Borrower and Agent two (2) additional copies of such form on or before the date such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, in each case certifying that such Bank is entitled to receive payments from Borrower under any Loan Document without deduction or withholding of any United States of America federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law, or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Bank from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Bank advises Borrower and Agent that it is not capable of receiving such payments without any deduction or withholding of United States of America federal income tax.

Yield Protection and Illegality

 

Section 5.1. Additional Costs.

 

(a) Borrower shall pay directly to each Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, from time to time such amounts as such Bank or the Issuing Bank may determine to be necessary to compensate it for any reasonable costs incurred by such Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, which such Bank or the Issuing Bank determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any Loans or Letters of Credit, as the case may be, subject to Eurodollar Accounts hereunder or its obligation to make any of such Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Bank or the Issuing Bank hereunder in respect of any such Loans, such Letters of Credit or such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change which:

 

(i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Bank or the Issuing Bank under this Agreement or its Revolving Notes in respect of any of such Loans or Letters of Credit (other than franchise taxes and taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Bank or the Issuing Bank or its Applicable Lending Office for any of such Loans or Letters of Credit by the United States of America or the jurisdiction in which such Bank or the Issuing Bank has its Principal Office or such Applicable Lending Office);

 

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 29


(ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, minimum capital, capital ratio, or similar requirement relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities or commitments of, such Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, (including any of such Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” in Section 1.1 hereof); or

 

(iii) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or the Revolving Notes or the Letters of Credit or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities or commitments.

 

Each Bank and the Issuing Bank, as applicable, will notify Borrower (with a copy to Agent) of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement which will entitle such Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to compensation pursuant to this Section 5.1(a) as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the Loans or Letters of Credit, as the case may be, affected by such event if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole opinion of such Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, violate any law, rule, or regulation or be in any way disadvantageous to such Bank or the Issuing Bank. Each Bank and the Issuing Bank, as applicable, will furnish Borrower with a certificate setting forth the basis and the amount of each request of such Bank or the Issuing Bank for compensation under this Section 5.1(a). If any Bank or the Issuing Bank requests compensation from Borrower under this Section 5.1(a), Borrower may, by notice to such Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, (with a copy to Agent) suspend the obligation of such Bank to make Loans subject to Eurodollar Accounts or Continue Eurodollar Accounts as Eurodollar Accounts or Convert Base Rate Accounts into Eurodollar Accounts or suspend the obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit, as applicable, until the Regulatory Change giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5.4 hereof shall be applicable with respect to such Eurodollar Accounts).

 

(b) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1, in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Bank or the Issuing Bank either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on the Loans subject to Eurodollar Accounts is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Bank which includes Loans subject to Eurodollar Accounts or with respect to the Issuing Bank which includes Letters of Credit or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets which it may hold, then, if such Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, so elects by notice to Borrower (with a copy to Agent), the obligation of such Bank to make Loans subject to Eurodollar Accounts or Continue Eurodollar Accounts as Eurodollar Accounts or Convert Base Rate Accounts into Eurodollar Accounts hereunder or the obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit, as the case may be, shall be suspended until the Regulatory Change giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5.4 hereof shall be applicable).

 

(c) Determinations and allocations by any Bank or the Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 5.1 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its obligation to make

 

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 30


Loans, to issue Letters of Credit, of making or maintaining Loans, of making or maintaining Letters of Credit, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of the Loans or the Letters of Credit, as the case may be, and of the additional amounts required to compensate such Bank or the Issuing Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive, provided that such determinations and allocations are made on a reasonable basis.

 

Section 5.2. Limitation on Eurodollar Accounts. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if with respect to any Eurodollar Accounts under a Loan for any Interest Period therefor:

 

(a) Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” in Section 1.1 hereof are not being provided in the relative amounts or for the relative maturities for purposes of determining the rate of interest for the Loans subject to such Eurodollar Accounts as provided in this Agreement; or

 

(b) Required Banks determine (which determination shall be conclusive) and notify Agent that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of “Adjusted Eurodollar Rate” in Section 1.1 hereof on the basis of which the rate of interest for such Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined do not accurately reflect the cost to the Banks of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period;

 

then Agent shall give Borrower prompt notice thereof specifying the relevant Eurodollar Account and the relevant amounts or periods, and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Banks shall be under no obligation to make additional Loans subject to a Eurodollar Account or to Convert Base Rate Accounts into Eurodollar Accounts and Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Eurodollar Accounts, either prepay the Loans subject to such Eurodollar Accounts or Convert such Eurodollar Accounts into Base Rate Accounts in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Determinations made under this Section 5.2 shall be made on a reasonable basis.

 

Section 5.3. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Bank or its Applicable Lending Office to (a) honor its obligation to make Loans subject to a Eurodollar Account hereunder or (b) maintain Loans subject to a Eurodollar Account hereunder, then such Bank shall promptly notify Borrower (with a copy to Agent) thereof and such Bank’s obligation to make or maintain Loans subject to a Eurodollar Account and to Convert Base Rate Accounts into Eurodollar Accounts hereunder shall be suspended until such time as such Bank may again make and maintain Loans subject to a Eurodollar Account (in which case the provisions of Section 5.4 hereof shall be applicable).

 

Section 5.4. Treatment of Affected Loans. If the Accounts applicable to a Loan of any Bank (hereinafter called “Affected Accounts”) are to be Converted pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.3 hereof, the Bank’s Affected Accounts shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Accounts on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 5.1(b) or Section 5.3 hereof, on such earlier date as such Bank may specify to Borrower with a copy to Agent) and, unless and until such Bank gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1 or 5.3 hereof which gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist: (a) to the extent that such Bank’s Affected Accounts have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Bank’s Affected Accounts shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Accounts; and (b) all Accounts which would otherwise be established or Continued by such Bank as Eurodollar Accounts shall be made as or Converted into Base Rate Accounts and all Accounts of such Bank which would otherwise be Converted into Eurodollar Accounts shall be Converted instead into (or shall remain as) Base Rate Accounts. If such Bank gives notice to Borrower (with a copy to Agent) that the

 

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 31


circumstances specified in Section 5.1 or 5.3 hereof which gave rise to the Conversion of such Bank’s Affected Accounts pursuant to this Section 5.4 no longer exist (which such Bank agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Accounts are outstanding, such Bank’s Base Rate Accounts shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Accounts to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Accounts held by the Banks holding Eurodollar Accounts and by such Bank are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages.

 

Section 5.5. Compensation. Borrower shall pay to Agent for the account of each Bank, upon the request of such Bank, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Bank) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense incurred by it as a result of:

 

(a) Any payment or prepayment of a Loan subject to a Eurodollar Account or Conversion of a Eurodollar Account for any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the outstanding Loans pursuant to Section 11.2(a)) on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for the applicable Eurodollar Account; or

 

(b) Any failure by Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any conditions precedent specified in Article VII to be satisfied) to borrow or prepay a Loan subject to a Eurodollar Account, or Convert a Base Rate Account to a Eurodollar Account on the date for such borrowing, Conversion, or prepayment specified in the relevant notice of borrowing, prepayment, or Conversion under this Agreement.

 

Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, such compensation shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so paid or Converted or not borrowed for the period from the date of such payment, Conversion, or failure to borrow to the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Account (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Account which would have commenced on the date specified for such borrowing) at the applicable rate of interest for such Eurodollar Account provided for herein over (ii) the interest component of the amount such Bank would have bid in the European interbank market for Dollar deposits of leading banks and amounts comparable to such principal amount and with maturities comparable to such period.

 

Section 5.6. Capital Adequacy. If any Bank shall have determined that any Regulatory Change has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s (or its parent’s) capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or the transactions contemplated hereby to a level below that which such Bank (or its parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, implementation, change, or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within ten (10) Business Days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to Agent), Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its parent) for such reduction. A certificate of such Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive, provided that the determination thereof is made on a reasonable basis. In determining such amount or amounts, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

Section 6.2. All Loans. The obligation of each Bank to make any Loan (including the initial Loan) is subject to the following additional conditions precedent:

 

(a) No Default. No Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or would result from such Loan;

 

(b) Representations and Warranties. All of the representations and warranties contained in Article VII hereof and in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct on and as of the date of such Loan, with the same force and effect as if such representations and warranties had been made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate specifically to another date; and

 

(c) Additional Documentation. Agent shall have received such additional approvals, opinions, or documents as Agent may reasonably request.

 

Each notice of borrowing and each request for the issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension of a Letter of Credit by Borrower hereunder, shall constitute a representation and warranty by Borrower that the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 6.2(a) and (b) have been satisfied (both as of the date of such notice and, unless Borrower otherwise notifies Agent prior to the date of such borrowing or the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension of such Letter of Credit, as applicable, as of the date of such borrowing or such issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension of such Letter of Credit, as applicable).

The advances made on the Closing Date under this Section by each Bank whose Commitment Percentage has increased (as compared to its Commitment Percentage under the Second Credit Agreement) shall be deemed to be a purchase of a corresponding amount of the Loans of the Bank or Banks whose Commitment Percentages have decreased (as compared to the Commitment Percentages under the Second Credit Agreement). The advances made under this Section shall be Base Rate Accounts made under each Bank’s Revolving Commitment.

If as of any date, the aggregate amount of the Restricted Group Members’ EBITDA as calculated for the most recently completed four (4) Fiscal Quarter period as of the date of determination exceeds the Applicable EBITDA Threshold as calculated for such date, then, within thirty (30) days after the date of determination, the Parent and Borrower shall:

 

(i) cause one or more of the Restricted Group Members to execute and deliver such documentation as the Agent may request to cause such Restricted Group Members to become “Obligated Parties” (and therefore no longer “Restricted Group Members”) and to evidence, perfect, or otherwise implement the guaranty of and provision of security for the Obligations contemplated by the Guaranty and the Subsidiary Security Agreement so that after giving effect thereto the EBITDA of the remaining Restricted Group Members as calculated for such four (4) Fiscal Quarter period is less than the Applicable EBITDA Threshold;

 

(ii) provide Agent written notice that the Reducible Amount of the Restricted Group Members’ consolidated Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA and the Applicable Percentage of the amount of Fixed Charges actually incurred by the Restricted Group Members shall be excluded from the calculation of all consolidated financial covenants hereunder including, without limitation, the Indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio referenced in Section 3.2; or

 

(iii) cause one or more of the Restricted Group Members to pay a dividend to their respective parents (who are Obligated Parties) in an amount equal to the sum of (A) the Reducible Amount plus (B) the aggregate amount of loans, advances and other investments made to such Restricted Group Members by the Obligated Parties during the most recently completed four (4) Fiscal Quarter period as of such date of determination.

 

If Parent and the Borrower elect to exclude such Reducible Amount and such Applicable Percentage from the calculation of all consolidated financial tests set forth herein (including, without limitation, those set forth in Article 10, the Indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio tests referenced in Section 3.2, and in Section 9.5(a)(ii) and (iii), all such financial tests, herein the “Financial Tests”) then without any further amendment or other modification to the Loan Documents, such Reducible Amount and such Applicable Percentage shall thereafter be so excluded. In calculating compliance with the Financial Tests thereafter, the Parent will show the calculations utilized to exclude such Reducible Amount and such Applicable Percentage from such Financial Tests. For the purposes of this clause (d), the following terms have the following meanings:

 

Applicable EBITDA Threshold” means, as of any Fiscal Quarter end, an amount equal to 12.50% of Parent’s Consolidated EBITDA (as calculated in Section 10.2) determined as of such Fiscal Quarter end; provided, however, if no Default exists and the Borrower provides written notice to the Agent that the Borrower elects to lower the maximum Indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio permitted under Section 10.3 to (a) 2.75 to 1.00, then the Applicable EBITDA Threshold shall automatically be increased to 15% of Parent’s Consolidated EBITDA (as calculated in Section 10.2) determined as of such Fiscal Quarter end, or (b) 2.50 to 1.00, then the Applicable the Applicable EBITDA Threshold shall automatically be increased to 20% of Parent’s Consolidated EBITDA (as calculated in Section 10.2) determined as of such Fiscal Quarter end.

 

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 43


Applicable Percentage” means the percentage determined by dividing (x) by (y) and multiplying the resulting product by 100 where:

 

  (x) equals the Reducible Amount; and

 

  (y) equals the Parent’s consolidated EBITDA’s as calculated for such Fiscal Quarter end for the four (4) Fiscal Quarters then ended.

 

Reducible Amount” means the amount by which the Restricted Group Members’ EBITDA exceeds the Applicable EBITDA Threshold as calculated for such Fiscal Quarter end for the Four (4) Fiscal Quarters then ended.

 

If the Borrower elects to lower the maximum Indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio permitted under Section 10.3 pursuant to the proviso in the foregoing definition of “Applicable EBITDA Threshold” then the maximum Indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio required by such Section 10.3 shall be automatically reduced without further action or consent of the Agent or any Bank.

(iii) Surveys. If reasonably requested by Agent or required by applicable law, Parent shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Agent current surveys of any Mortgaged Property or Additional Mortgaged Property, certified by a licensed surveyor meeting ALTA requirements. All such surveys shall be sufficient to allow the issuer of the applicable mortgage policy to issue a lender’s policy.

 

(iv) Appraisals. If requested by Agent or required by applicable law, Parent shall deliver or cause to be delivered from time to time to Agent a current appraisal of each Mortgaged Property and each Additional Mortgaged Property, such appraisals to be in form and substance satisfactory to Agent.

Section 8.11. ERISA. Parent will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, comply with all minimum funding requirements and all other requirements of ERISA, if applicable, so as not to give rise to any liability which will have a Material Adverse Effect.

As to any matters not expressly provided for by any Loan Document, Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder in accordance with instructions signed by Required Banks, and such instructions of Required Banks and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Banks; provided, however, that Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes it to personal liability or which is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law.

 

Section 12.2. Rights of Agent as a Bank. With respect to its Revolving Commitment, the Loans made by it, the Letters of Credit issued by it as the Issuing Bank, and the Revolving Note issued to it, JPMorgan (and any successor acting as Agent) in its capacity as a Bank hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as Agent, and the term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 12.3. Defaults. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default (other than the non-payment of principal of or interest on the Loans or of commitment fees) unless Agent has received notice from a Bank, Parent or Borrower specifying such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” In the event that Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Banks (and shall give each Bank prompt notice of each such non-payment). Agent shall (subject to Section 12.1) take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by Required Banks, provided that unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable and in the best interest of the Banks.

 

Section 12.4. Indemnification. THE BANKS HEREBY AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AGENT FROM AND HOLD AGENT HARMLESS AGAINST (TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED UNDER SECTIONS 13.1 AND 13.2, BUT WITHOUT LIMITING THE OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWER AND PARENT UNDER SECTIONS 13.1 AND 13.2), RATABLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE COMMITMENT PERCENTAGES, ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, DEFICIENCIES, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES), AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER WHICH MAY BE IMPOSED ON, INCURRED BY, OR ASSERTED AGAINST AGENT IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED TO BE TAKEN BY AGENT UNDER OR IN RESPECT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS; PROVIDED, THAT NO BANK SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY PORTION OF THE FOREGOING TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY AGENT’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. WITHOUT LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF THE BANKS THAT AGENT SHALL BE INDEMNIFIED HEREUNDER FROM AND HELD HARMLESS AGAINST ALL OF SUCH LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, DEFICIENCIES, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES), AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE DIRECTLY OR

WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS SECTION, EACH BANK AGREES TO REIMBURSE AGENT PROMPTLY UPON DEMAND FOR ITS PRO RATA SHARE (CALCULATED ON THE BASIS OF THE COMMITMENT PERCENTAGES) OF ANY AND ALL OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES) INCURRED BY AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE PREPARATION, EXECUTION, DELIVERY, ADMINISTRATION, MODIFICATION, AMENDMENT, OR ENFORCEMENT (WHETHER THROUGH NEGOTIATIONS, LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, OR OTHERWISE) OF, OR LEGAL ADVICE IN RESPECT OF RIGHTS OR RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, TO THE EXTENT THAT AGENT IS NOT REIMBURSED FOR SUCH EXPENSES BY BORROWER OR PARENT.

Each Bank agrees that it has independently and without reliance on Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documentation and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Borrower and decision to enter into any Loan Document and that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Bank, and based upon such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under any Loan Document. Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower or any Obligated Party of any Loan Document or to inspect the properties or books of Borrower or any Obligated Party.

Section 12.6. Several Revolving Commitments. The Revolving Commitments and other obligations of the Banks under any Loan Document are several. The default by any Bank in making a Loan in accordance with its Revolving Commitment shall not relieve the other Banks of their obligations under any Loan Document. In the event of any default by any Bank in making any Loan, each non-defaulting bank shall be obligated to make its Loan but shall not be obligated to advance the amount which the defaulting Bank was required to advance hereunder. No Bank shall be responsible for any act or omission of any other Bank

 

Section 12.7. Successor Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Banks, the Issuing Bank, and Borrower, and Agent may be removed at any time by Required Banks if it has breached its obligations under the Loan Documents. Upon any such resignation or removal, Required Banks will have the right to appoint a successor Agent with Borrower’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Banks’ removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof and having combined capital and surplus of at least One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000). Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges, immunities, contractual obligations, and duties of the resigning or removed Agent, and the resigning or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any Agent’s resignation or removal as Agent, the provisions of this Article XII shall

continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent.

 

Section 12.8. Agent Fee. Parent and Borrower, jointly and severally, agree to pay to JPMorgan the administrative fee described in the certain fee letter dated April 29, 2005 among Parent, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., and JPMorgan.

 

Section 12.9. Release of Collateral.

 

(a) Automatic Release. If Borrower or any Obligated Party sells any Collateral which is permitted to be disposed of under Section 9.8, the Liens in the Collateral granted to the Agent under the Security Documents shall automatically terminate and the Collateral will be disposed of free and clear of all Liens of the Agent.

 

(b) Written Release Request. The Agent is authorized to release of record, and shall release of record, any Liens encumbering any Collateral that is permitted to be sold upon an officer of the Parent certifying in writing to the Agent that the proposed disposition of Collateral is permitted under Section 9.8, unless the Agent is aware that the proposed disposition is not permitted under the terms of the Loan Documents. To the extent the Agent is required to execute any release documents in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Agent shall do so promptly upon request of the Borrower without the consent or further agreement of any Bank. If the sale or other disposition of Collateral is not permitted under or pursuant to the Loan Documents, the Liens encumbering the Collateral may only be released with the consent of all the Banks.

 

(c) Other Authorized Release of Collateral. The Agent is irrevocably authorized by the Banks, without any consent or further agreement of any Bank to subordinate or release the Liens granted to the Agent to secure the Obligations with respect to any property which is permitted to be subject to a Lien in favor of another party under the permissions set out in Section 9.2 including any purchase money Liens granted in accordance with such Section.

 

Section 12.10. Other Agents. Bank of America, N.A., has been designated as the “syndication agent” and KeyBank National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. have been designated as “co-documentation agents” hereunder in recognition of the level of each of their Revolving Commitments. No such Bank is an agent for the Banks and no such Bank shall have any obligation hereunder other than those existing in its capacity as a Bank. Without limiting the foregoing, no such Bank shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Bank.

Section 13.2. Indemnification. PARENT AND BORROWER, JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY, INDEMNIFY AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK, AND EACH BANK AND EACH AFFILIATE (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, J.P. MORGAN SECURITIES, INC.) THEREOF AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS, AND AGENTS FROM, AND HOLD EACH OF THEM HARMLESS AGAINST, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, JUDGMENTS, DISBURSEMENTS, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES) TO WHICH ANY OF THEM MAY BECOME SUBJECT WHICH DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISE FROM OR RELATE TO (A) THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION, DELIVERY, PERFORMANCE, ADMINISTRATION, OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (B) ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (C) ANY BREACH BY BORROWER OR ANY OBLIGATED PARTY OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, COVENANT, OR OTHER AGREEMENT CONTAINED IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (D) THE PRESENCE, RELEASE, THREATENED RELEASE, DISPOSAL, REMOVAL, OR CLEANUP OF ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIAL LOCATED ON, ABOUT, WITHIN, OR AFFECTING ANY OF THE PROPERTIES OR ASSETS OF PARENT OR ANY SUBSIDIARY, OR (E) ANY INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY THREATENED INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING; PROVIDED THAT THE PERSON ENTITLED TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE INDEMNIFIED FROM OR HELD HARMLESS AGAINST ANY LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, JUDGMENTS, DISBURSEMENTS, COSTS, OR EXPENSES ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM ITS GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY PROVISION OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT EACH PERSON TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL BE INDEMNIFIED FROM AND HELD HARMLESS AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, JUDGMENTS, DISBURSEMENTS, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES) ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THE SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH PERSON.

None of Agent, any Bank, or any Affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent thereof shall have any liability with respect to, and Parent, Borrower and, by the execution of the Loan Documents to which it is a party each other Obligated Party, hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages suffered or incurred by Parent, Borrower or any other Obligated Party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to any of the Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by any of the Loan Documents.

 

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 63


Section 13.4. No Duty. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, and other professional Persons and consultants retained by Agent or any Bank shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of Agent and the Banks and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to Parent, Borrower or any of Parent’s shareholders or any other Person.

 

Section 13.5. No Fiduciary Relationship. The relationship between Borrower and the Obligated Parties on the one hand and Agent and each Bank on the other is solely that of debtor and creditor, and neither Agent nor any Bank has any fiduciary or other special relationship with Borrower or any Obligated Parties, and no term or condition of any of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between Borrower and the Obligated Parties on the one hand and Agent and each Bank on the other to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

 

Section 13.6. Equitable Relief. Parent and Borrower recognize that in the event Borrower or any Obligated Party fails to pay, perform, observe, or discharge any or all of the obligations under the Loan Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Agent and the Banks. Parent and Borrower therefore agree that Agent and the Banks, if Agent or the Required Banks so request, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

 

Section 13.7. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of Agent, the Issuing Bank, or any Bank to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power, or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies provided for in the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.

 

Section 13.8. Successors and Assigns.

 

(a) Benefit and Binding Effect. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) neither the Borrower nor the Parent may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Bank (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower or the Parent without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Bank may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Affiliates, officers, directors and agents of each of the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Banks) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

(b) Assignments.

 

(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Bank may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Revolving Exposure at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

 

(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank, an Approved Fund or, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee;

 

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 64


(B) the Agent, provided that no consent of the Agent shall be required for an assignment to an assignee that is a Bank; and

 

(C) the Issuing Bank.

 

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

 

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Bank or an Affiliate of a Bank or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank’s Revolving Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Revolving Commitment or Loans of the assigning Bank subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent) shall not be less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), unless each of the Borrower and the Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Default has occurred and is continuing;

 

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

 

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500); and

 

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Bank, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in a form approved by the Agent.

 

For the purposes of this Section 13.8(b), the term “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Bank, (b) an Affiliate of a Bank or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Bank.

 

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.9, Article VI and Section 13.2). Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.8 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

 

(iv) The Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Revolving Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Parent, the

 

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 65


Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Bank and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Bank hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Bank or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.07(d), 4.1, 4.7, 4.8 or 12.4, the Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

 

(c) Participations.

 

(i) Any Bank may, without the consent of the Parent, the Borrower, the Agent or the Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the third sentence of Section 13.11 that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.1, 5.5 and 4.9 to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.4 as though it were a Bank, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 5.7 as though it were a Bank.

 

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.1 or 5.5 than the applicable Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a foreign Bank if it were a Bank shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.9 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 4.10 as though it were a Bank.

 

(d) Pledge. Any Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Bank, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto.

 

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 66


Section 13.9. Survival. All representations and warranties made in any Loan Document or in any document, statement, or certificate furnished in connection with any Loan Document shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and no investigation by Agent or any Bank or any closing shall affect the representations and warranties or the right of Agent or any Bank to rely upon them. Without prejudice to the survival of any other obligation of Borrower or Parent hereunder, the obligations of Borrower and Parent under Article V and Sections 13.1 and 13.2 shall survive repayment of the Loans and the Revolving Notes, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit, and termination of the Revolving Commitments.

 

Section 13.10. Entire Agreement; Amendment and Restatement; Ratification. THIS AGREEMENT, THE REVOLVING NOTES, AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO HEREIN EMBODY THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PRIOR COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF (PROVIDED THAT THE FEE LETTER DATED APRIL 29, 2005, FROM JPMORGAN AND J.P. MORGAN SECURITIES, INC. TO PARENT IS NOT REPLACED BY THE LOAN DOCUMENTS) AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED OR VARIED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO. This Agreement amends and restates the Second Credit Agreement in its entirety. The execution of this Agreement, the Revolving Note, and the other Loan Documents executed in connection herewith does not extinguish the indebtedness outstanding in connection with the Second Credit Agreement nor does it constitute a novation. At all times during the period prior to the date hereof, all of the provisions of the Second Credit Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect. Any reference in any Loan Document to the Second Credit Agreement, the Existing Credit Agreement or the Original Credit Agreement is hereby amended to be a reference to this Agreement. The Parent, Borrower, Agent and the Banks ratify and confirm each of the Loan Documents entered into prior to the Closing Date (but excluding the Second Credit Agreement, the Existing Credit Agreement and the Original Credit Agreement) and agree that such Loan Documents continue to be legal, valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as modified hereby as described below. PARENT, BORROWER AND EACH OTHER OBLIGATED PARTY (BY ITS EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT BELOW), REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT AS OF THE DATE HEREOF THERE ARE NO CLAIMS OR OFFSETS AGAINST OR DEFENSES OR COUNTERCLAIMS TO ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. TO INDUCE AGENT AND THE BANKS TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, PARENT, BORROWER AND EACH OTHER OBLIGATED PARTY WAIVES ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, OFFSETS, DEFENSES OR COUNTERCLAIMS, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, ARISING PRIOR TO THE DATE HEREOF AND HEREBY RELEASES AGENT AND THE BANKS AND THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND ATTORNEYS (COLLECTIVELY THE “RELEASED PARTIES”) FROM ANY AND ALL OBLIGATIONS, INDEBTEDNESS, LIABILITY, CLAIMS, RIGHTS, CAUSES OF ACTION OR DEMANDS WHATSOEVER, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED WHICH PARENT, BORROWER OR ANY OTHER OBLIGATED PARTY EVER HAD, NOW HAS, CLAIMS TO HAVE OR MAY HAVE AGAINST ANY RELEASED PARTY ARISING PRIOR TO THE CLOSING DATE AND FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, Parent, Borrower, the other Obligated Parties, Agent and the Banks agree and acknowledge that:

Section 13.11. Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document to which Borrower or Parent is a party, nor any consent to any departure by Borrower or Parent therefrom, shall in any event be effective: (a) unless pursuant to an Increased Commitment Supplement executed in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof and Section 2.6(b) which only needs to be signed by Borrower, Parent, Agent and the Banks increasing or providing new Revolving Commitments thereunder and (b), in the case of this Agreement, and any circumstance other than as described in clause (a) preceding; unless the same shall be agreed or consented to by Required Banks, Parent and Borrower and in the case of any other Loan Document, unless the same shall be agreed or consented to by Agent acting with the consent of the Required Banks and the other parties thereto. Each such waiver or consent shall

 

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 68


be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, waiver, or consent shall: (i) increase the Revolving Commitment of any Bank without the written consent of such Bank, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Bank affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Revolving Commitment, without the written consent of each Bank affected thereby, (iv) change Section 4.6 or 4.7 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Bank, or (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Banks” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Banks required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Bank or (vi) release any Collateral or release Borrower or any Obligated Party from liability without the consent of all Banks; provided further that no amendment, waiver, or consent shall be made (a) with respect to Article XII hereof or which otherwise affects the rights or duties of the Agent without the prior written consent of the Agent and (b) which affects the rights or duties of the Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of the Issuing Bank.

 

Section 13.12. Maximum Interest Rate.

 

(a) No interest rate specified in any Loan Document shall at any time exceed the Maximum Rate. If at any time the interest rate (the “Contract Rate”) for any Obligation shall exceed the Maximum Rate, thereby causing the interest accruing on such Obligation to be limited to the Maximum Rate, then any subsequent reduction in the Contract Rate for such Obligation shall not reduce the rate of interest on such Obligation below the Maximum Rate until the aggregate amount of interest accrued on such Obligation equals the aggregate amount of interest which would have accrued on such Obligation if the Contract Rate for such Obligation had at all times been in effect.

 

(b) No provision of any Loan Document shall require the payment or the collection of interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. If any excess of interest in such respect is hereby provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, in any Loan Document or otherwise in connection with this loan transaction, the provisions of this Section shall govern and prevail and neither Borrower nor the sureties, guarantors, successors, or assigns of Borrower shall be obligated to pay the excess amount of such interest or any other excess sum paid for the use, forbearance, or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto. In the event any Bank ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such sum, such amount which would be in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law shall be applied as a payment and reduction of the principal of the Obligations, and, if the principal of the Obligations has been paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, Borrower and each Bank shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Obligations so that interest for the entire term does not exceed the Maximum Rate.

 

Section 13.13. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for in any Loan Document to which Borrower or any Obligated Party is a party shall be given or made in writing and telecopied, mailed by certified mail return receipt requested, or delivered, by hand or overnight courier service, to the intended recipient at the “Address for Notices” specified below its name on the signature pages hereof and, if to an Obligated Party, at the address for notices for Parent, or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to each other party given in accordance with

 

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 69

Except as otherwise provided in any Loan Document, all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by telecopy, subject to telephone confirmation of receipt, or when personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, three (3) Business Days after being duly deposited in the mails, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid; provided, however, notices to Agent pursuant to Section 4.3 shall not be effective until received by Agent. Notices and other communications to the Banks hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II and Sections 4.1 through 4.3 unless otherwise agreed by Agent and the applicable Bank. Agent or Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto by electronic communications in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

 

Section 13.14. Governing Law; Venue of Service of Process. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and the applicable laws of the United States of America. ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST PARENT OR BORROWER UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN DALLAS, TEXAS OR ANY FEDERAL COURT IN THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS. PARENT AND BORROWER EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY (a) SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS, AND (b) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. PARENT AND BORROWER EACH AGREE THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON IT MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, AT ITS ADDRESS SPECIFIED OR DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 13.13 OF THIS AGREEMENT. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK, OR ANY BANK TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK, OR ANY BANK TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST PARENT, BORROWER OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE PROPERTY IN COURTS IN OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY PARENT OR BORROWER AGAINST AGENT OR ANY BANK SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT LOCATED IN DALLAS, TEXAS.

 

Section 13.15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and on telecopy counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

Section 13.16. Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable shall not impair or invalidate the remainder of any Loan Document and the effect thereof shall be confined to the provision held to be invalid or illegal.

 

Section 13.17. Headings. The headings, captions, and arrangements used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

 

Section 13.18. Non-Application of Chapter 346 of The Finance Code of Texas. The provisions of Chapter 346 of The Finance Code of Texas are specifically declared by the parties hereto not to be applicable to any Loan Documents or to the transactions contemplated thereby.

 

Section 13.19. Construction. Parent, Borrower, each other Obligated Party (by its execution of the Loan Documents to which its is a party), Agent, and each Bank acknowledges that each of them has

 

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 70
