Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (a) the Collateral shall exclude (i) pledges and security interests prohibited or (to the extent) limited by law, licenses or agreements (other than prohibitions overridden by the UCC) and assets subject to capital leases, other financing leases, project financings or purchase money indebtedness; (ii) leasehold interests existing on the Effective Date (to the extent that mortgages would be required); and (iii) assets as to which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably determine in consultation with the Borrowers that the costs of obtaining such a security interest are excessive in relation to the value of the security to be afforded thereby and (b) security interests in (i) motor vehicles and other assets subject to certificates of title shall not be required to be perfected unless the Required Lenders so elect while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) letter-of-credit rights that are not supporting obligations shall not be required to be perfected by control if the Borrowers are not able to provide control after using commercially reasonable efforts to do so. The Loan Parties will be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain collateral access agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent with respect to leased locations at which material Collateral is located to be agreed. | ||||
Intercreditor Agreement: | The lien priority, relative rights and other creditors rights issues in respect of the Collateral will be set forth in one or more intercreditor agreements on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Commitment Parties. |

The Administrative Agent and the Lenders (and their affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors and agents) will be indemnified and held harmless against, any loss, liability or related reasonable out-of-pocket cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), in each case arising out of or in connection with or relating to the financing contemplated hereby or the use or the proposed use of proceeds thereof (except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified party or any of its affiliates or its or any of its affiliates officers, directors, employees, advisors or agents). | ||
If any indemnified party shall receive an indemnification payment in respect of any loss, liability, cost or expense pursuant to the preceding paragraph and such loss, liability, cost or expense is found by a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified party or any of its affiliates or any of its or its affiliates respective officers, directors, employees, advisors or agents, then such indemnified party shall refund the amount received by it in respect of such |
12
indemnification in excess of that amount to which it is entitled under the terms of the preceding paragraph | ||

Interest Rate Options | Borrowers may elect that the Term Loans comprising each borrowing bear interest at a rate per annum equal to: | |
(i) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or | ||
(ii) the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin. | ||
As used herein: | ||
The Base Rate means the higher of (i) the prime lending rate as publicly announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the Prime Rate), and (ii) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%. | ||
The LIBOR Rate means the rate per annum at which dollar deposits are offered to major banks in the London interbank market for the relevant interest period as published by the British Bankers Association, and currently appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) two business days prior to the first day of such interest period, adjusted by the reserve percentage prescribed by governmental authorities. The LIBOR Rate shall be available for interest periods of 1, 2 or 3 (or, if available to all Lenders, 6) months. For purposes of Term Loan Facility, LIBOR shall not be less than 2.70%. | ||
Applicable Margin means 7.25% in the case of Base Rate Loans under the Term Loan Facility and 8.25% in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans under the Term Loan Facility. | ||
Interest Payments | In the case of Term Loans bearing interest based upon the Base Rate (Base Rate Loans), quarterly in arrears and (a) payable in cash or (b) at the Borrowers election, (i) payable in cash in an amount equal to the Cash Amount (as defined below) with (ii) an amount equal to the Capitalization Amount (as defined below) capitalized as principal. | |
In the case of Term Loans bearing interest based upon the LIBOR Rate (LIBOR Rate Loans), on the last day of each relevant interest period but in any event at least quarterly, and (a) payable in cash or (b) at the Borrowers election, (i) payable in cash in an amount equal to the Cash Amount with (ii) an amount equal to the |
Capitalization Amount capitalized as principal. | ||
For purposes hereof, Capitalization Amount means, with respect to any interest payment, the product obtained by multiplying (a) the amount of the interest payment due on the relevant interest payment date by (b) the Capitalization Percentage for such interest payment date. Capitalization Percentage means, with respect to any interest payment date, (x) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans outstanding on the applicable interest payment date is greater than $320,000,000, a fraction (1) the numerator of which is the amount by which the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans then outstanding exceeds $320,000,000 and (2) the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans then outstanding or (y) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans outstanding on the applicable interest payment date is less than or equal to $320,000,000, zero. The Cash Amount means, with respect to any interest payment, the difference equal to (A) the amount of the interest payment due on the relevant interest payment date minus (B) the Capitalization Amount. | ||
Default Rate | At any time when a payment Event of Default or a bankruptcy Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Facility shall bear interest at 2.0% above the rate otherwise applicable thereto payable in cash. To the extent that the Required Lenders so request upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Loans may not be continued as or converted to LIBOR Rate Loans. | |
Rate and Fee Basis | All per annum rates shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days or, in the case of Base Rate Loans, 365/366 days, and the actual number of days elapsed. |
